specialguest: The worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when you marry a NAGGING woman.. My neighbor is a typical example and i can almost swear that sometimes the man runs out of the house with his pants on his shoulder and his tie in his mouth to continue dressing up for work on the staircase because of a constantly nagging wife.
OMG!!gringrin someone should pls tell me to get up from d floorgringrin

@op, nothing wrong has happened to your marriage, so be calm, patient and patient. Time solve most problems in life, so wait and pray if u can pray. Or wait calmly while being busy.

But pls pray against untimely death of your hubby, its very terrible!!!

I don't think people understand the damage untimely death of a breadwinner or a loved one brings to a family. I never know until I lost one myself.

Each day I remember it, tears trickle down my eyes like river running through a tributory.

My sister-in-law was so so stubborn to my brother that she never gave him rest irrespective of all he did for her, but the moment he died accidentally, those demons pushing her not to be humble and nice left her...today, she is beginning to appreciate the value of my late brother.

I heard a police man slapped her in a hold up while she was trying to maneuver tru...who is that police officer that would dare stare at her unncessarily to talk of slapping her when my late brother was alive

Unfortunately, most women don't know or appreciate the value of their husband until he is gone forever!!!

So @op, you better calm down now and pray hard for God to protect your husband and give him long life.

Death is terrible! Especially, untimely death, it shatters family!!!!

May God grant us all a long healthy life here on earthsmiley

tbaba1234:

I have quite a number of friends whose wives live with them on a student visa. It is really not that difficult.

I do not know anyone whose wife has been rejected and I should know. I will say a larger proportion are accepted. As long as the husband has a good source of funding and everything checks out, the visa will be issued.

Well, let's not derail the thread for d OP. My brother's a green card holder, his wife spent 5yrs in Nigeria b4 getting a visa. US embassy told her it's first come, first serve. Recently my friend's (who's a US citizen) fiancee was rejected Fiance visa at Lagos (un-heard of b4). They told him the visa was meant for pple to wed in USA, however, many pple are getting there and not wedding..so they asked for a proof of marriage in Nigeria. when he did, they asked him to apply for immigrant visa..LoL! Anyway, some people are lucky, not all.

Irreconcillable differences of course. Wife battering, lack of trust, nagging wife, fighting wife, lack of understanding, etc. The worst thing that can happen to a man is to marry bad wife. If you do, it will only take the grace of God for you to survive it. A very bad experience and i was a victim. I can be a marriage counsellor because i have a first hand experience about marriage. It will only take the grace of God for you to be successful in marriage.

Worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when she hid an out of wedlock 10 year-old daughter somewhere and suddenly springs her up on you after you marry her!
Worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when she agrees to come to your country for you two to wed; she agrees that you'll set up home in your country after the wedding; she agrees that after wedding she would only be traveling outside your country just for short business trips; but a couple of months thereafter vows never to live in your country.
Worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when in her preferred 'paradise' of a country, she serially and literally walks from one trouble to another and you are compelled to go there to sort her out, and, then, get trapped in that foreign country in the sense of staying far longer than you had intended; so much so that by the time you manage to wriggle out of the situation and return to your own country, you discover that your property in your rented apartment are all gone; and, she is not even bothered one bit about that new reality.
Worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when you chose her because she said she is a Christian, your wedding was a Christian wedding done in a Bible-believing Church, and your home is a Christian home; yet she defies you and brings her younger sister who is a Muslim to stay with you fully aware of the possibility for tension that that kind of situation would generate.
Worst thing that could happen to a marriage is when she is married, but acts and flirts like a single!

A good job with distance embedded in it can never guarantee a good marriage,the best marriage so far is when couple see themselves and siscuss important issues daily,facebaby,what'sup,and other means of communication can never be compared with physical communication. My candid advice is if u want u man back convice him to come back to Lagos or relocate to Abuja,its not easy but u got to choose ur marriage or money................

ona2: I found myself recently thinking and wondering what I will do if my husband finally did not fulfill the promise he made almost a year ago this month, that by month ending he will reunite the family. I am really getting fed up with living like a spinster again and I was telling myself that if that promise was broken, he had better prepare for the worst. Now, what is the worst that can ever happen to a marriage?

I know how you feel Madam. I have gone through it before, separated from wife and kid, through no fault of mine.
A man is NEVER happy to be away from his wife and kids, its just that at times, it is necessary for the "betterment" of the family.
If he had a better choice, l am sure he would come back home very quickly.

Yours is even good, mine was between Nigeria and overseas and initially for the first year or so, even if l had the money, hopping on the next plane was not possible and Social media (Whatssap, BB Messaging, e.t.c) and Video conferencing (Skype, Google with Video, Viber, e.t.c) was not even available back then! angry Even Mobile phone was not available and she has to go to NITEL to receive call!)

Well, we survived it and today, we re a(she especially) reaping the benefit.
Trust in God, pray for your husband to succeed, keep busy, especially on the kids, talk to each other EVERYDAY,
Invest in a good Laptop or Smart phone and install SKYPE on it, fantasize and have E-sex with him ONLY kiss
.....just keep your mind busy and focused on him (I trust he does same).

With time, God will solve all your challenges. At the end of the day, both of you must work to be together, either in lagos or in Abuja.
If he cannot unite you on the date promised, try and reason with him and understand WHY.
I bet it is not deliberate. If he loves you (and l think he does), being with you will (and is) the best thing that he desires.
Encourage him and appreciate his efforts, it will pay-back in future. Mine did.

Go Spiritual and fellowship with God in your idle time (Dont become "a tool" in one Pastors hand o! That one is even worse!!).
In the confines of your room, chat with God. He will answer you and talk to you.

God will give you strength to overcome the "challenges of loneliness", l know its not easy!. Life is not easy at times.


Lastpage!

BTW: Worst thing that can happen in a marriage is "when the love truly and completely dies"!
Worry when your 'spouse' is jealous over you or abuse you for something you did wrong but the day your spouse "stops noticing your existence in your marriage", Hhmmmm......... as we say in that song: Love dont live here anymore!

Worst thing that can happen to a marriage is when the only person she listens to, the person who is her role-model is her US-based senior sister who, like her, also had a son out-of-wedlock before being married to an American who just recently divorced her!

Woged2005:

Yep there're background info in naija: The way he treated his ex gfs warn us, his friends warn us, people from his villa warn us, his neigbours warn us, even his lifestyle when we're dating us warn too (they use money to woo us, they spread money & gifts on us like typical womanizers but we smile and collect, they slap other girls at parties, they yell at neighbor's children & complain about children, they hang out with questionable men & comeback late, all his Exs took in for him and aborted, they claim to be international biz men traveling abroad, their job title is veeeeeeery looooooong, he buys only cheap fairly used items, he has no good relationship with is parents and neigbors, etc). We naija ladies see all this signs and still go ahead bc we want to be married & answer Mrs. What other background information do we need, sisters?

back on ur case. try and keep urself usefully busy at Lagos. As long as u can visit him at Abuja (unannounced sometimes) and spend quality time with him, you'll be fine. Use BB, FB chat, texts, Skype to keep ur marriage warm. time will heal. but if u start trouble and threats now, why will a man invite trouble to Abuja to live with? grin.

Please be aware that most free counselors on nairaland like me are either naive teenagers, never married before, or have broken homes. Be careful of Nairaland counselors. Talk to ur family rather cheesy

Frequent misunderstanding i want to believe is the worst that can happen to a marriage. The more frequent the misunderstanding, the worse the marriage becomes. Staying together or apart does not mean there wont be misunderstanding, but a conscious effort must be made to ensure that misunderstandings are reduced to the barest minimum, of course you need help from God!
