you only have problems in your marriage when you as a man has a wife competing with you each day.
I am not against the freedoms our wives are asking now,both of us can't be too busy
what we refuse to understand is no matter what,,,,,,,,, wives are expert in home affairs,thus keeping good homes ,so when that woman who is expected to put her home in order begin to wear same trousers with the man my people things Will likely fall apart imagine husband and wife travelin to a business trip at the same time impossible,
the worst thing I will do to my unborn kids is to leave them in the hands of a stranger probably a housemaid without the presence of my wife is what I won't welcome in my family.

so to avoid this marriage crisis both husband and wife should know their responsibility to make peace reign in their marriage.
am looking for an unlike bottom, so the only place she is permitted to succeed is in the kitchen ? Why you go about chasing women with your money intoxicated self .They tell you to dream but don't dream too big ,we all desire a good marriage but are couples still keeping the marriage Val's ? After all my education I should come beg for money before I buy undies . am going to succeed, I will push my self to the Zenith and if you have a problem with that as a man you take a walk. I will be very rich so any man with low self esteem won't like me. Any wise woman will look for how to balance career and marriage.

It may be very difficult to balance Career with family affairs, when your Job entails so much work that you are hardly at home. Either of the parents do not have time for the kids, and just as things go, one may feel lonely. This may on the long run bring friction in your marriage leading to constant arguments, quarrels, and even Divorce if care is not taken.




Now, I wish to put forth this question to the house, Would you choose a Good marriage over your career? If such career really has a negative effect on your marriage. When I mean a good marriage, I mean a marriage where both can say the are Happily married.


Points to put into consideration before commenting your opinion


State of the economy


Children's welfare


Health issues



High cost of living




Having considered this points, what would be your answer ?





YES!!!!...I will choose a Good Marriage to Career



simple reason is: when you have a good marriage, even in d midst of disappoints,failures and travails in ur career,,,there is always someone at home(virtuous wife)waiting for you to tell you that you are the BEST in the world!!!!

A good marriage is dependent on a good career. For men, at least. Nobody ever divorced their wives for not being financially well off. Well, most men won't.

It depends on choice, from experience most successful career women doesn't enjoy good marriage. Marriage over career can only work when the spouse can take care of the family, besides not all women like depending on their partner especially when she has tasted financial independence. Another thing pursue your dream if you feel marriage will be miserable for you.

My guy, that's a very though question. One usually has to suffer for the other. Keeping them in balance is very very hard. To some near impossible.

come to think of it,a marriage cannot be said to be good if the couple is not stable financially.
once I'm able to feed my children, and I'm able to grant every of my wife's request.career can have it way after my marriage...........

Maybe in the past I would have chosen good marriage but now I would choose a career.

The truth is love comes and goes. Ask anyone and being financially secure and having comfort and less worries is what will keep the marriage going when the love is gone.


As long as I am able to provide for family and kids and will be able to provide them with security in life than that's the main thing. If you Also work hard early in life than you can retire early and then spend the rest of your time travelling and enjoying retirement with your spouse.

Where will the happiness be when there is no money to pay your debts, kids education etc etc and if that so called spouse leaves you then you are left with nothing. all the rich people in the world today are where they are because of their career and that's why their kids, grandchildren etc are benefiting from it.

You can still be happy with a good career and still be there for ur kids

You can't choose career ahead of family. The career will come and go but your family will still be there. Unless you have a very understanding spouse that can hold the home steady in your absence, when you're aged and retired you will realize you don't actually have a family.
This is one reason why I can never marry a lady that insists on white collar jobs.
Oga mi,
this is the reason why I followed your moniker last two years... you said this words back then.....

If it's a good marriage, you wouldn't have to choose...

It pains me many atimes, when people come up with stuffs like this..

Guess this is what happens when people claim they are in love when in real terms they just don't know what love truly means...

I chose Good Marriage over career. Asked my wife to stop her job 6 months into our marriage. After child birth/rearing, she will start another work or even go into bizness.
