marriage becomes boring when people marry only 4 money,beauty and some other things, but if u marry somebody you really love; you ll always find reason to keep loving that person

I have been married for nearly two years and its not been boring so far, i hope it stays this way. Anyway my husband and I are very outgoing people and we always go out if not together, with friends.

we started off as very good friends for many years, and we get on so well. We do disagree but he respects me and i respect him. We are also very very open with each other and he is a fantastic listener

Orikinla,
you said something about women wanting to be pampered and you living with a girlfriend that bored you. You seem to be forgetting that you are at least 50% of your relationship and that you have as much power as your woman to make the relationship interesting, fulfilling and rewarding. Success in any relationship is not all about finding the right mate; it’s about being the right mate.
If your relationship or marriage is boring, please check yourself, the problem may lie with you. I know marriage is not without it’s ups and downs, but we need to realize that marriage is not an entity with it’s own independent existence, WE make the marriage .If your marriage is boring, it’s either you are not with the right partner or better still, you are BORING as a person.
One more thing, if you want a loving wife and not a boring one, you have to learn how to pamper women.


I am very exciting and that is why I am often surrounded by pretty and sexy younger women and older ones from my teens to date.

It is going to take the grace of God to enable me to remain married to only one woman.
If I can marry ten wives, then I won't be bored.

Personally, I prefer to be a lover and love any woman who needs your love.

I have seen a young woman whose husband bores her and she is suffering in silence.
She is a banker and the husband takes no interest in her profession, except the fat pay.
She cannot even discuss the current issues in her profession. And she also loves novels and her husband does not read any. So, she enjoys my company. But, people warned me to keep away.

I don't pamper women.
I love them.

I am a polyglot and versatile.
I helped one girlfriend in her research on diplomatic immunity, another one on computer science, another one on Literature and also the one in medical school.
I can also sing, dance, act, etc.
And love making to me is entertainment.
So, I can never be bored.

If I marry someone as exciting as I am, then I won't be bored.

Orikinla,your requirements are quite straightforward,

I'm sure there is an intelligent woman with an interesting job,intellectual mind who is good in bed and also cooks and cleans and laughs at your jokes,somewhere out there.I know a few but all happily married and not bored!

although i must say some of those qualities became more apparent with time.so my brother, my advice is be patient and just keep looking, you will find her smiley

apologies for digressing but what is your oriki?

You have given me the most intelligent reply so far.

I like saying it all.

My Oriki was best recited by my late father who was a bona fide Ifa priest and if I write it here, I would be accused of narcissism.

My pen name Orikinla Osinachi sums up my oriki.

In actual reality, I live and work for the happiness and success of others.

Your happiness is my happiness.
Your success is my success.
My higher praise is from my God
For only God truly knows my destiny.
I am His existential mystery.

No one can hurt me
For no one knows me.
I am like water
I take the form and shape of whatever container you fetch me.

Whatever you sow in me you shall reap from me.
I am like the earth.
I can bear all things
For God bears me.

Re: Is Marriage Not Boring? by doubletree(f): 12:43am On Jan 29, 2007
nice!

I like 'your happiness is my happiness'

when you find someone who truly wants your happiness and vice versa,you are on the way to a fulfilling relationship.

I find most Nigerian women to be too boring, unambitious, and unimaginative. Marriage to them will be boring.

Seun:

Seun,
You are right.

That is why Nigeria is still a poor country with all our abundant natural resources.

Most of the Nigerian women prefer to have sex than discuss my next project.
In fact, most of them want to reap where they have not sowed. But in the midst of the debris, I have seen some precious stones. But yet, marigold is not gold.

I would rather be single than have a miserable marriage.

Most Nigerian couples mistake sex for romance.
Most Nigerian men marry for the sole purpose of procreation.
Breeding 140 million people and 85% of them are miserable poor folk.

The most popular TV programmes of Nigerian couples are the boring reality shows where people are selected to be locked up in a compund for over 90 days doing nothing more than day dreaming and at the end one person gets millions of naira and disappears.
But many of our geniuses are looking for funds to produce great things.

Gambling shows are all over our TV screens.
Get-rich-quick TV schemes and scams where TV viewers are told to vote by sending test messages at N30 to N50 per message and before you know it, millions of Nigerians have been made to part with millions of naira. And none of these contribute to our GDP or GNP.
Why?
Nigerian couples are bored and love distractions on TV or on the streets.

Marriage is an expression of love and respect and trust and faith in the future,

but the union of husband and wife is also an alliance against the challenges and tragedies of life,

a promise that "with me in your corner, you will never stand alone".

why should marraige not be boring, imagne watching one channel, same volume, same setting, sometimes certainly the same conversations, for, oh my! FOREVER
Re: Is Marriage Not Boring? by BlackMamba(m): 5:18pm On Feb 03, 2007
As an artificial union of different human characters, marriage is bound to crack as soon as the these unrelated factors start competing against each other. People just hang on to this marriage contraption to gain societal acceptance, even as it bores their brains out.

Orikinla,

From ur address i can see why you worry so much about boredom; cause Bonny Island is one very small and boring place. My question to you is this: Are you married? If your answer is yes then find out from your spouse and do this with the intention to work at it. However, should your answer be NO then I must assure you that marriage can be a lot of fun as well as very challenging too. If you are so fortunate to have kids, then the sky is the limit to your having "fun" Remember, the just shall live by his faith.

Faith has always been a good suppressant until the bubble bursts.
