I was invited to the presidency this afternoon. My meeting with the president had barely started when madam peepee stormed into the office without knocking and the following conversation took place.

Acidtalk - Good Afternoon your excellency ma.

Patience - (sighs) why you dey greet me? Shebi Omokri and Abati dey come tell me as you dey abuse me for internet.

Acidtalk - (kept mute with quite an embarrassing smile)

Patience - Jonah, me I don tire oh!

Jonathan - Peepee, what's wrong again?

Patience - All these my woman campaign no work oh! These women just dey chop our money but I know say Dem no go vote us.

Jonathan - How do you know that?

Patience - I blind? Shebi I dey see as all of them dey frown face when I dey talk. Clap, Dem no gree clap, to hail me sef na wahala.

Jonathan - So after all the money we have spent after postponing this election things are not still working in our favour. What can we now do?

Patience - Me I go suggest make we kuku sell the whole Nigeria to Queen Elizabeth make she dey in charge of the interim government.

Jonathan - Peepee, we can't sell a country and the Queen has no business in this. Suggest something else.

AirborneLacer:
This is a pretty exhaustive list and I do agree with some points raised.

But then, there would always be flaws and shortcomings.

This shouldn't be an attempt towards actualizing a perfect marriage, cos there's no such thing as perfect marriage.

The most important thing is getting hitched to someone who would wholly complement you. Someone who'd accept you for whom you are, that's the beauty of every marriage.

I've seen couples who are damn poor but still share an unimaginable love. I've seen couples who share different religious sentiments but are still madly in love with eachother. I've seen a wife who knows zilch about cooking but is still loved and cared for by the husband.

That is the beauty of every marriage.

If working on your flaws seems like a herculean task, don't get dismayed, someone out there is willing to love you that way.

Hello palz suo, its been ages.

I understand your views, but Don't you think that if am a type that nags a lot or get angry easily, that its an aspect of my life that can affect my home, hence the need to make some adjustments.


My opinion #, i also think that is what op is driving at, not perfection

Re: Things You Must Work On Before You Get Married by cacali(f): 1:20am On Mar 19, 2015
Points 9 and 10 are the same thing really. I would also like to add the following;
1. Ensure that your partner is your friend and you have a few things in common: Trust me sometimes that dreamy state of "being on cloud 9 in love" suddenly disappears and all that is holding the marriage at that point is your friendship.
2. Ensure you get your parents consent: There is nothing like as father or mother's blessing to follow you into your new home. Sometimes our parents can be unreasonably difficult, but back that up with prayer and a little patience.
3. Ensure you are in good terms with your future in-laws: Remember that in Africa that marriage is not just between a man and a woman, but rather between two families. Whether you like it or not, both families will play an important role before and after the marriage,
4. Ensure that dowry is paid: There is this latest trend of couples living together without proper marriage rites and claiming to be "my wife or my husband". It is so pathetic in the case of women. You enter a man's home without him even paying your dowry, OYO for you o. Not only will that man not have enough respect for you, but after you have finished doing "baby mama" he will go and look for fresh blood and wed that person.
5. Ensure you carry out health tests: Please ensure you check your genotypes and your blood groups to guide against having
SS children, having rhesus factor or HIV/AIDS. If you like argue from today till tomorrow about love, the pain these things bring
in marriage are not just worth it. At the end you start playing the blame game.
6. Ensure you have the same sexual orientation: Talk about sex o to make sure you have the same sexual orientation and that
both of you are medically okay in that area. A little smooching is allowed o. You don't want to end up with a frigid partner or a
gay partner or a partner without correct sex organs. Religion aside o, sex is a major part of marriage. It can put you always in a
state of like this shocked grin or cry. Am sure no one wants to choose the latter.
7. Have the conviction to make it work: don't enter the marriage with the notion that if it doesn't work, you take a walk. Many
couples are usually not patient enough these days. Except in the case of abuse, try and give the marriage a chance and go the
extra mile to understand what your partner wants. Marriage is all about compromise.
8. Ensure you pray together: With all the clubbing and partying and romancing, ensure that you take out time to pray as a
couple. Don't wait till you enter the marriage. That way, you know whether you are evenly yolked or not.

All the best out there. Going back to sleep mode.

Man where have you been? cheesy

I'm not wholly dismissing the idea of one working on his or her flaws. Not at all.

It's imperative to work on your shortcoming, to strive to get better.

The point I made is simply this, whilst you work on your weaknesses, also be on the look out for a better half that'd tolerate your excesses.

You cant work on yourself and have a certain habitual inclination wiped out of your life entirely.

There would be traces of that old habit, although not as severe as before.

Now imagine when you're married to a wife who wouldn't tolerate even the minuscule bit of your old habit, how happy are you two going to be?

There would be a constant stream of grumblings from her every now and then.

So while you work on your flaws, still search for a partner who'd complement you and tolerate your flaws.
