Love making is very paramount. Please disregard anybody saying sex isn't that important. We enjoy sex as much as you guys do( if not more ) but we only don't kiss and tell as you guys do.
Finances do also matter but as long as both parties are doing something everything should be fine.

I can't imagine myself being married to a man that won't touch me at least once a week
This is being real.

Do u think you can cope with your partner's:
1. weakness(es)
2. past


More so, you should avoid comparing your r/shp with others.
The fact is that you must learn to agree now so that you can really become ONE when you finally get married.

My future wife should:
i. Never give me an advice that will break me but rather make me; religiously & materially.
ii. Never stop me from giving to the needy,,,regardless of my r/shp with them.
iii. Prepare herself for distance at times, of course, I can't stay within the walls of Naija till my death.
iv. Prepare her mind towards being self-employed. Though she may need to serve before things work out for me as wished.

My hopes though

Once a week? the man should be weak... someone like me will not go two days without poking my wife. Sex is a gift from Jupiter. What i hate is ladies who pretend they don't enjoy it and behave as if they're doing the guy a favor.

BTW, there is no list whatsoever that can match anybody's expectation. Maturity for marriage has to do with accepting differences not similarities though there has to be an agreement. cool

How old are you?.. you talk like a toddler, if all this you stated are your priorities in order of preference..then marriage shouldn't be even a priority in the next 15 years for you.

She's probably married now, cos she posted that reply Nov 2 2007. We need to find out how it later turned out as far as her marriage is concerned though.

Are you in courtship?

Discuss anything that will make you get to know the man better. there are no 'hard and fast rules'.
exactly, what work for one might not work 4 d other.

Marriage is full of ups and downs. Once sexually active man can go weak. I'd advice you take that into consideration before saying such. Sex is the least you think about in marriage.

@ topic, those questions and answers during courtship won't last up to one month after marriage. Pray you both understand yourselves and live life one day at a time.
To the singles about to marry, trust your partner, be tolerant and learn to forgive. Marriage no be come chop

Plenty o my sis, in fact, mundane things sef. Here we go...

1. Religion
2. Finances
3. Any debt ?
4. Seex
5. Sleeping naked ( for some it is a taboo, while others can't imagine kitted to sleep)
6. His mother and sisters
7. Extended family
8. Any wife in his family right now( how they treat her will give you insight on your impending treatment)
9. Kids
10. House chores
11. Work or business
12. Expectations
13. Socialising after marriage
14. Snoring
15. Exercise
16. Food
17. Any health issues you should know about
18. Health history of his family ( trust me, you don't want to have a kid that would inherit madness from her paternal grandmother grin)
19. Fidelity
20. Dispute resolution

Etc...you don't want to wake up to very very rude surprises, do you? Yes, surprises are to be expected but nothing like a shocking surprise biko. Imagine not discussing dispute resolution before( No, he wont tell u he would whip your asss but if you can listen well, you will catch something )It is well.

Then a lot of observation. Here, no need to ask question, just pay attention...I was in a bus the other day, a certain babe that sat with me was sure all over the place. You know one of those girls that aren't so fat yet you can tell they are heavy ba? She sat beside me and almost killed my arm with her heavy arm...whew, I shifted until I was almost out of the window. Like that is not enough, She took it upon herself to drive the bus with her mouth, navigate the routes and proceed to insult another babe that didn't have change. My point here is, if you go buy that kind market cos she looked normal... oyo is your case grin

This is why "divorce" is so high nowadays, people have turned "relationships" to 'social project' where you scrutinize, analyze, strategize, some even have "requirements" and "qualifications' as if you are applying for a job. I am not saying there is anything wrong in looking out for certain traits in your partner but when you put 'requirements' before love it wont end well, a lot of ladies have pushed aside the guys they truly love for the guy the fits the profile of the 'ideal guy' and they finally end up in unhappy homes. To answer your question, no matter how much or how long you discuss issues during courtship, new issues and new challenges will always come up, the major issue you should be worried about is whether you are at least "95%" certain deep down that you are 'absolutely' in love with your partner not just 'physically' but spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, intellectually and any other 'ly' that will last 'forever'(or at least the next 30-50 years because the life expectancy in Nigeria is now50-60 ish), if you are certain about this then any other issue or challenge, no matter how big will be a 'piece of cake'......... angry
So you think people divorce nowadays because of no love. There's more to relationship than just love and if you think love is enough to make a marriage last you re very wrong.
According to research most marriages fail nowadays because of finances. Money is very important in our lives wheather we agree or not.
I know of marriages that have ended in divorce because of money either the wife is high maintenance or the husband spends recklessly.
Also Commitment , understanding and friendship is what make most couple stay together for years not love alone

Surely there will be questions to ask during courtship at least to have a pictorial image of whom you wish to settle down with.However this questions should not be a conclusive yardstick to ascertain the longevity of a happy marriage.Personally if she is compatible with me as to what rocks my boat,that settles it.No book or school can educate you on this matter.

And they'll keep failing, because the level of emphasis placed on courtship and criteria before and after marriage is overwhelming.
