Buying A Wife! How Feasible Is That? by Nobody: 11:26pm On Nov 09, 2014
Some pastors dis days do encourage us single guys not to be in relationships so as to avoid fornication. Day sed we shd wait till we are ready to marry, den we can just "pick a sister and marry".

Now dat gets me thinking. How can a man just walk up to sister, fix a date, and on d fuccking first date, u say to her "sister, I wanna marry u? " I mean, how does dat even sound? How can a man meet a girl in January and marry her in March? Doesnt dat sound like buying a wife? How do such marriages even work out? Are u supposed to marry first and den learn abt each oda later?

Guys, pls wots ur take on dis?

truth be told when you keep someone as a friend for longer you get to learn a whole lot more about them as opposed to when you date the person. I don't think you should be marrying someone you hardly know either. That whole "the love will eventually come" excuse doesn't always work for everyone

I can see pastors are trending now. All other subjects have become stale. Every blame for our actions must now go the pastors. Smh

Whether you like it or not, it is ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE you can start really KNOWING a person.
Even then. . . . THERE ARE MANY FACES TO ONE PERSON.

One for EACH DAY. . . . 7 days per week, OR ONE EACH HOUR FOR EVERY 365 days per year. . . . .depending on the level of PSYCHOSIS! grin
One thing is certain. . . . . .YOU WILL BE MARRIED TO A TOTAL STRANGER!!!!!
The more you see. . . . THE LESS YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND! kiss

Na wa for dis ur parable oh.

I believe one shd get to know a couple of tins abt dis stranger before u tie d knot, dont u think?

Its either u look at where ur landing before u jump inside or u jump inside before u look at where u landed. I think d former is beta.

Yes! U cant totally know abt a person until afta being married for a while, but one shd at least hav a clue of wot to expect.

I doubt if you understood your pastor. He couldn't have implied that you don't court before marriage.

I know. Der is usually 3 months courting in church. But meeting someone in January and marrying the person in March or April of d same year sounds kinda risky and scary to me.

D stigma of divorce makes a lot of couples stay togeda, but dat doesnt mean dia marriage is healthy or happy.

So how many of such marriages are healthy.
