24 Things Mums Teach Their Daughters Before Marriage! by Praktikals(m): 4:59am On Aug 27, 2015
1. My daughter, don’t cause a separation
between your man and his siblings; it could
be dangerous for you when they finally
speak with one voice.
2. My daughter, I know that some of you
girls don’t wish to marry a man whose
mother is still alive, don’t ever think like that,
if you do, well, I think your son’s wife- to-be
should start wishing you're dead now.
3. My daughter, listen to me, when I married
your father, he was as tiny as his salary but I
chose to grow with him and today, those
cars out there are some of the results of
what we started so little, together, and
we’re proud looking at them.
4. My daughter, there is this thing i see
happening in your time, some of you girls
now get pregnant before the wedding day,
well, it never happened in our time because
no matter what, we never opened our laps
before the wedding.
5. My daughter, well, yes, I once locked up
the cloth of your father because I got to my
limit of patience and that was the only thing
I could do, but one thing I haven’t said was
that we settled the issue that same day and
that was the last time I tried that.
6. My daughter, look up there. That’s the
wedding picture of your father and I, look at
him smiling, I know you've seen it many
times but what you did not know is that
your father was angry before taking this
picture, I hope you find a man whose anger
doesn't last till the next day.
7. My daughter, when your Father was
riding a bicycle, I was always happy to hop
on it and ride with him, not because I didn't
see those men in their little cars but because
my eyes also saw those men trekking to
their farms.
8. My daughter, if you and your husband eat
a little food with love, you both would be
satisfied. Times are not always the same;
support him in every phase he’s passing
through.
9. My daughter, don’t ever close your laps to
your husband in bed , the day he paid your
dowry was the day you lost your will to do
so, don’t be stiff and try to satisfy him even
if you were angry with him.
10. My daughter, a man would respect you
and be more proud of you if you’re learned
and not totally dependent on him. Strive to
make your own money and while you're at
it, be humble.
11. My daughter, under the cocoa tree that I
did meet with your Father was open and
good enough for our discussions, yes; it
was open and good enough if you
understand what I mean.
12. My daughter, in our time, we had sexy
legs and firm bosoms to show our men, in
fact, we had the finest ones, yet, when we
dress, we cover those parts of our body, not
because we were not civilized as you people
would call it, but because we know that the
eyes of men are hungry, many of them
would only come, touch and go their way.
13. My daughter, there is this thing you girls
now practice, they say it’s feminism. Well,
you can prove to be equal to a man in the
society but please, not in your marriage
because at my old age, I don’t want to start
counting your husbands.
14. My daughter, marriage is not a
Rehabilitation Center, if he’s not good
enough for you before marriage, nothing he
does would be good enough after marriage.
15. My daughter, you can see I still wear my
night gown, yes, because to my husband;
your father, I still want to look sexy. So, take
good care of your body, look good for your
man and don’t look like a grandma after
giving birth.
16. My daughter, I’m your mother and still,
I'm not interested in you coming to me
always if anything goes wrong with your
husband. Though nowadays I see some
mothers controlling the homes of their sons
and daughters, I would only say; shame on
them!
17. My daughter, for you to have a peaceful
home and well-trained children, have one
voice with your husband, join him to say NO
when he’s saying NO before the kids but
later when you both are alone, you can
plead with him for a YES, if not, the children
will see a loophole to misbehave, either to
you or their father.
18. My daughter, if you chose to live
together with a man that you’re yet to be
married to , and you are complaining that he
hasn't proposed to you, oh, he already did.
Whatever he said that made you start living
with him was his proposal.
19. My daughter, your generation does not
see any pride in been a virgin before
marriage, it’s a shame! Your father met me a
virgin and he brought more yams to my
parents and up till today, he’s still proud of
me when we discuss in that direction.
20. My daughter, I know that no man out
there is complete, but when you are looking
for your tall, slim, fair and handsome, if he’s
a woman-beater, please, go for the short,
fat, dark and ugly that will give you the
respect you deserve as a woman.
21. My daughter, know, learn and respect
the culture and lifestyle of whoever you
chose to marry . In some part of Africa, you
knee down to greet your man’s parents
while in some part outside Africa; you can
even call them by their first name and ask
for a handshake. Whatever they believe in, if
you've chosen him, believe it with him also.
22. My daughter, don’t ever try to date a
married man, whether his excuse was that
he doesn't find happiness with his wife or
he would have married you if he had met
you first, if you ever try it, I curse you
already.
23. My daughter, when I say over 52 years
of marriage, it wasn't that I did not see any
reason to leave your father, I saw a lot of
them but I bear his faults, i forgave him to
stay married.
24. My daughter, these are part of the
wisdom i have gathered over the years. And
If I had taken my time to tell you all these,
and your marriage doesn't last like that of
your father and I, then I had wished i never
gave birth to you.
Wow! There are still some GREAT Mothers
out there who still teach the truth. I'm so
proud of my Mother, what about you? Did
your Mum teach you these too?
