My wife went to uni in U.S and Canada and me i manage to finish secondary in Lagos,she also earn almost double of my salary but today she is my wife and I'm happy to have a wife with such education.

the money she earn's is for the family.

Is she going to be loyal in the long run?

good question.
She jam her luck under my roof so therefore the money will be 70/30 grin 70 for me 30 for her. After all I am still the head of the family and the family responsibility is still on me smiley if you marry your 'own' wife, she can even put the money under your care as the head

Very much on point!

Positive attitude is the key. A woman's strata- academic, economic, social shouldn't matter, those aren't suppose to be a cause of concern to any able, sane and sound man. Only a man that would demand for servitude instead of to strive to earn a woman's loyalty and respect when in better position than the woman is equally the same kind of man that will find it hard to settle down with a woman with positive attitude and of better academic and economic strata than him.

Please educate me on the differences...

From my understanding about knowledge & wisdom. One is what you derived from earthy materials such as books and the other which is wisdom is divine. I.e infused into a man's life by God.

Those with wisdom in the bible were never poor or below average. King Solomon is a key example of a man with wisdom. He was the richest and most influential man during his time.

The wise men that went to see Jesus went with Gold, frankincense & myrrh. You should know how expensive these stones were during the early days. It shows they were living very fine.

Don't come here to contradict things. Your knowledge and wisdom is measure on the achievements you have made through it.

The bottom line is to marry a woman you can control both financially and emotionally. No matter your wisdom, money is the key language that speak.

If you can't control a woman, then you become her remote control. Ask your dad if he is still alive.


First knowledge is to know about the things of this world. Acquiring more knowledge means to know certain facts about this world that may be useful to you, in contrast to wisdom which is to discern what is true or not Having Good judgment using the experience knowledge or acquired reasoning.

Wisdom and knowledge, both recurring themes in the Bible, are related but not synonymous. The dictionary defines wisdom as “the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.” Knowledge, on the other hand, is “information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance.” Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but not the other way around. One can be knowledgeable without being wise. Knowledge is knowing how to use a gun; wisdom is knowing when to use it and when to keep it holstered.

For instance the way u handled women when u were 14 should be different from how u handle them now. Some ppl call it maturity but I call it wisdom being that patience enables you to see further and find out more facts than instant reaction like the way you behaved when you were young

In the aspect of handing women some times u have to use the surrender tactic to catch their hearts and when u have their hearts on ur plate, it is now left to you to use them as you please.

I am not disputing the fact that u must control ur woman, trying to control some of them is just adding petrol to fire But there are others ways of handling them like giving them space or understanding their inner self. This way they will respact you for that.

That's enough lecture for theday.

Succinctly said. grin

Why should a man demand for respect because of his financial strength?

Instead, y'all should strive to earn that respect regardless of your financial status?

All I see is some form of inferiority complex.

If you ve followed this thread carefully&understood wat warrants the ilustration he made, or perhaps if you are a man, or if you ve had to deal with egolistic ladies, I tink you would have understood the guy better instead of writing this epistle just to spite him...One of the tinzz dt makes a man a man is how he manages the opposite sex..And so far he's or he was in the shoes, he's been doin wat exactly he tot is needed to manage the feminine&is been working for him...so U should be the one not to exaggerate. peace

Sorry for intruding, but I think I should say something. Many men are not disturbed at a woman's level of education and/or wealth. It is the ladies that always remind the men of their place. You will hear a lady calling a man 'small boy' just because she's richer and/or more educated than him. Some ladies don't want to settle for 'less'. Only they know what that 'less' really means.


Intruding? Naaaaaa...

The truth is, men who are already prejudiced against such ladies would see nonexistent arrogance in them. Should such ladies call them small boys, they would be in trouble. Should the ladies call them lord, they would say she is being sarcastic. That would be trouble too.

And yes, most women don't want to settle for 'less', not with the men on this thread poised to 'humble' them. They don't want someone who will try to maltreat them, just to remind his insecure self of his headship.
They want someone who is as intellectually sound, and naira-loaded as they are. Don't blame them, that's their attempt at avoiding the 'is it because you are a PhD holder?' kind of argument in the future. The stance of these ladies is the symptom. The disease is the insecure men. Let's focus on the disease.

Beautiful week ahead.

Lol no I'm laughing cause of how fragile the male ego is. Is it a bad thing to be intelligent or rich ?

My dear it's not in any sense, but we can't deny the fact that such marriages does the man of the house little good. Truly men value their ego so much. personally I prefer respect to love.

Its very easy for guys to say they can settle with a woman who is richer or is more educated but let share this. When i was in the university one of my lecturers who has a doctorate in pharmacy added barrister to his title and we were wondering how he got the title only for him to tell us that he married a barrister and he was fed up wit his wife trying to intimidate her with her legal precedents so he had to write waec, jamb and studies law this was wen he already had his phd oo, so imagine if he didnt even have a phd. Again 1 of my inlaws told me he dated and almost married the daughter of a former senator (i have verified his claim) and he advised me neva to get married to a woman that has been (is) exposed to somuch cheese than you. My point is its very easy to say you can if she is more educated or wealthier than you but women will always be women. If a woman is at pole position then her man should be ready to get ridden like a horse. Shikina
