That marriage is created to be enjoyed not endured. It's supposed to be a continuous love journey not constant battle and misery.

/

Marriage was created solely for procreation. Love is just an integral part of marriage. The original plan was a virgin man will marry a virgin female and they have offsprings.

But since love has been forced to be the foundation, marriage died because emotions fluctuate. There is no longer sense of commitment.

Omo

This why I will never fight my woman no matter what she does

All these bad bad things people say about women. I've not experienced it atall

My gf is just too good to be true

I know how much she makes at work. She tells me every amount that enters her account

She buys alot of things in the house

Even when rent expires she offers to split the bill because she almost spends most of her time in my place because its close to her work

I know her phone passwords
She picks calls of guys that try to toast her in my presence and put it on speaker

I'll just be smiling at the guy dropping lines

She washes my clothes sometimes but I must stay with her and rinse it and dry it

She's a good cook

She's very respectful to elders

She is beautiful and hardworking
And always at home by 7pm
No night life

4yrs relationship
We met In my final Yr in OAU

Omo nothing this girl can ever do that can annoy me o

I plan to propose to her next Yr sha

Because we have been living together now for the past 1yr almost like married couple but I never do the right thing

Make I quick put ring for her hand

She's clocking 25 early next year
You get luck

1. You can marry the most beautiful, understanding woman on earth....But on some bad days, both of you are going to wonder how and why you ended up with each other.

2. Women have a different perspective of love. They see tolerance of their BS, PDA, and allowing them make important choices for the home as love. To us Men, love is simply protecting and providing for your family.

3. In marriage, you the man will work your ass off to make sure your family never lacks the basic necessities of life and some luxury if you can afford it; and your wife, who is the number one beneficiary of your provision will wake up one day and complain that you are always working too hard and never having time for her.

Never ever fall for this emotional blackmail by taking your hands off the plough. The respect, love and showers of praise you will receive in marriage depends on your ability to do your Number Job as a Husband; which is protect and provide for your family.

4. Expect see finish....You can be a powerful politician or a successful businessman outside your home. At home, you are just an ordinary man that walks around with his bare bumbum grin grin
Your last point though grin

There are no laid down rules for a successful marriage.
Just marry your best friend, someone you can go the extra mile for, someone you can confide in, someone whom you can tolerate his or her bullsh*t.

Part 1:

1 - Love is not the sole recipe for a good marriage.

2 - Physical attractiveness is good, but In finding a life partner the desirable trait/spirit doesn't always come with the desirable vessel (person), you need to look beyond physical attraction when choosing a partner.

3 - As you seek virtues in a potential partner, also probe into their vices to consider if they're what you can tolerate, because it's those virtues that will be your consolation any time you are confronted with your spouse's vices.

4 - Be mindful of the hurtful words you say to your spouse, because those words may be forgiven, but cannot be forgotten .

5 - It's easy for your spouse to plant an idea in your mind, with you thinking you originally conceived that idea, e.g., you may dislike a neighbour for no reason, but it is actually your wife that really dislikes that neighbour.

It depends. This does not apply to everyone. I have seen many women that will never allow their bae to use the kitchen for anything. Many women I know are independent and contributes reasonably to running the home.

As a yet to be married man, just know that women are generally all the same in that they frown at spending their own money even for the good of the family. The man's money is for all but her money is only for her.

Women are generally manipulative , they would do whatever they can to have a hold on you.

Love and support your wife as your capacity can carry but don't go out of your way to please her.

Put your kids before your wife because they are your true blood, your wife isn't.

My 1cent from the standpoint of a married man.

If the reverse was the case, you give her all the time she needs but come up short on your job to provide for her and the kids, Is there a guarantee that she won't complain about your lack of provision and cheat with a man willing to offer her the extra goodies?

I will rather my wife cheats on me for working too hard to provide for her needs, than for her to cheat on me because i couldn't provide.

Word on the street is that intimacy will tiya you and [b]when responsibilities start hitting you left, right, front and back the only time you will remember you have D is when you want to pee [/b]and that this is when friendship with your spouse will survive the marriage and this is also when you realise that beauty is not everything.


Another word on the street is that 90% of marital problem are problems finance/money can solve and the problem(s) money can't solve more money will solve it. In marital calculation the remaining 10% preponderate the 90% but the 90% are the frequent cause of marital problems.

Another word on the street is that the first 5 to 6 years expecially first 2 years are the years in marriage that have the greatest trial/confrontation/issue it is then that you will likely realise that what you ordered was nor what was delivered to you. You start to see the other spouse true character and behaviour (I don't want to sound gender specific) but you will wonder if you both actually did courtship for 10 years and why you didn't see their true character.

The bolded made me laugh grin grin

When a man is young , he tries to please his parents,

When he gets married, he tries to please his spouse

When he becomes a father, he tries to please his children,

When he grows old, he tries to please God.

One day, he comes to discover that his life had never been his own. sad cool

If you are lucky to marry a wife you are complete, but if unfortunately you marry that woman then you are completely finished. Just pray, where your wisdom can't reach, prayer will cross you over.

As a single person, people will always ask you when will you settle down, meaning when will you marry. Don't be deceived, marriage has unsettled many who were settled singles.

I'm almost exactly like her. Save for washing of clothes. I can't lie, no amount of love can make me wash clothes for anybody. I have soft fingers and they peel (get wounded) whenever I wash with my hands.
