Ur asking if I wud give up my career that takes up too much of my time for a good marriage? The answer is NO A good marriage wud have already factored in my career so we simply plan how to balance family and work.at least am talking bout my present career and the present economic situation. On thing I would never consider is to seat at home doing nothing. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Cutehector: All couples will go through marital problems. Its inevitable and also the honeymoon phase will pass. So what happens when the honey moon phase is over? When finances becomes to much to bear then the fight starts and unhappiness creeps in. If the husband is dangote then great but looking at the current economic situation especially in Nigeria and what the average man earns, one needs to be realistic. When you have kids its not just about you and "happiness". There are people who hate their jobs and would love to quit but they can't because they have responsibilities. The reason we work hard is ultimely for our kids and family to have a better life. If I have to work from 7am to 9pm in order for me to give my kids the best future possible then I will do it. 6 Likes 1 Share |

The world owe me nothing but my parents owe me a big deal. In light of the above, it'll only obvious I owe my kids. Good education, the Harvard, MIT kind of education. Good upbringing Good money, the kind they'll be able to say "I'm not working for any bloodsucker" How am I going to afford the above without a career? What in hell is a good marriage? Is there a rule of thumb? Of course no. In my opinion, a marriage is as good as the partner. So look for a girl that share the same vision and will do anything to achieve it. Simple. The end in this case justifies the Means. 7 Likes |

Cutehector: Why would it be to the detriment of my marriage. I will marry someone who has same vision and goals as me. It only becomes a problem when one does not share similar goals. There are lots of marriages in which the couple is successful and happy in their marriage. Being succesful does not mean you will be a bad wife or mother. The fact that you are doing well means you can even take time off (financially) and travel etc and spend times with your family. I will see them everyday and after work will be family time. Its not impossible. Its been happening for long and it will Stoll be happening. The problem starts if an unsuccessful person gets with a successful person and then starts to be jealous etc. People should marry who they are compatible with. My fiance for example is thrilled at the fact that am doing well for myself and will be able to impact positively in the decision making of the home. We share similar goals abd visions and will be supporting each other no matter what. 7 Likes |

There's no good marriage without financial balance. That's why dating and courtship is a vital pre-requisite to marriage. For me, I will catch all my fun when single, marriage is a serious affair that requires all parties to bring something to the table for the family and most especially, the children. When it's a tough choice between family and career, money has never lost a single argument, so it's career all the way. As long as it will be worth it. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

I am guessing this is a trap question for females.... Nairalaaaand!.. Where what ever u say may be used against u. If women choose to stay at home(to perform their 'GOD' ordained wifely duties) ...Na una go still come here de shout "naija women are lazy. They just want to sit at home all day, watching telemundo. "All they know is how to go shoping and squander money they dint work for.” "I won't tolerate any lazy woman oo, my wife must not be a liability she has to go out there and work." "Naija ladies are gold diggers, they are un productive, alwayz looking for rich men to marry. " Now, na una still de ask whether we will choose career over good marriage... Because this question is obviously not directed to the guyz.... I bow for una oo. 5 Likes 1 Share |
