MARRIAGE IS ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!
 


This comment is that of a female with the baby rabies mentality.  you see the man as a sperm donor. And just a partner to help you raise the kids(correctly).. Or are you going to tell me that older people in love remarry for the sake of having kids again? 

Must there be a marriage before kids can be raised correctly? Tell this to all the baby mamas out there.. 

Most of the time, things women do and say are for their benefits. They don't care about the man.

Just reason the bolded carefully !
Children are ideally raised by two committed parents. Without this need - if there were no children, believe me, 99% of marriages would disappear.
Of course there are exceptions, hence 99% not 100%.

On the contrary, knew him way back in the university. Married him when he had no money.Sacrificed my chance to travel abroad to him.but when he started making money, he changed completely.have now abandoned me and the kids probably for his white girlfriend

So no, mine was not about two months dating.it's about a man who acted like he loved me cos he was poor.but showed his true colour when he started making money.
Too bad I really feel your pains...it heartbroken, I would advised you focus on your kids, it really tough being a single parent but with God by your side good things will come your way and you will never have reason to cry again, may God bless you and your kids ma

Married people should stop making the thing look like rocket science. Marriage requires only the commitment and determination of the 2 individuals involved to work.
A woman committed to the success of her marriage won't pick up FOOLISH quarrels with her husband, and a committed man won't start sleeping around.
It's simple.
Correct but not as simple as that. After the wedding that start off line, one party begins to notice he or she is putting 70/30% percent then the crack begins. If not noticed and addressed properly it further degenerates. One party begins to nag, it irritates the other party or comes across as nagging too much bla bla bla, 8 to 10 year down the road and wonder r....

What do you expect when you marry for the wrong reasons. Marriage is sacrifice. You love even if your partner doesn't deserve it.

What if your partner wouldn't stop messing up.

Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person

May 28, 2016

IT’S one of the things we are most afraid might happen to us. We go to great lengths to avoid it. And yet we do it all the same: We marry the wrong person.

Partly, it’s because we have a bewildering array of problems that emerge when we try to get close to others. We seem normal only to those who don’t know us very well. In a wiser, more self-aware society than our own, a standard question on any early dinner date would be: “And how are you crazy?”

Truth is nobody forced them to get married,that your marriage isn't a bed of roses or what you envisioned for shouldn't make you discourage others!!

As for me,the only thing that can make me have a second thought about my husband that is if I eventually decide to marry is poverty,nothing turns me off more than a broke and lazy guy.
what are you bringing to the table?

We have a lot of married spoon fed children claiming to be adult. So many of them don't even know that there's no perfect human let alone marriage. Even Adam and Eve joined together by God Himself messed up. There's no marriage without problems and chalanges. I have nothing to regret about my wife, together we're winners.
well said! marriage should all about team work! no one 100% perfect

My dear her story ain't about short term dating. I'm sure most of our grandparents of those days never dated long but they stuck with themselves until death.

Sure, it will break many, cos some partners will see each other's responses and start making important decisions. Marriage a very big wahala. I do not think it is natural. It is just for social control and energy transaction for the matrix. But at least one has a personalized sex organ to generate orgasm almost always, when needed.
I totally disagree with your standpoint sir.

if we dlg deep we may find out ure a very quarrelsome person or ure mkn his life a living hell. A lot of women try to control their husband's and when it doesn't work, they nag him to death. You didn't talk bout the sacrifices he probably made for you too. If we aSK oga now, a lot of details you hid will pop up. Takes two to wreck a marriage. The cause n effect. Its either this or oga is mental.. Cos nobody sees a woman he loved thts gvn him kids, peace n goes out.

Sorry to hear dear. The hearts of some human beings are wicked.

There are some things we can do with impunity, but simply because of the consequences it culminate in for the person at the receiving end, a reasonable man would not take such decision.

We know that after a couple has lived together for few years after the marriage ceremony, the tendency that the affinity between them would drop by almost 70% is certain, but this shouldn't serve as an excuse to start acting inconsistently all the time.

And that's why we really need to be sure about the maturity level of whoever we intend dating. Don't allow love to blindfold logical reasoning and judgements.

Marriage to me, is not a rocket science; it appears to me to be the easiest thing to deal with once you both are matured.

Cheating can be done by any of the parties, but never should it be done with impunity.

That impunity is what usually leads to issues. Many African men are found of thinking they can do whatever and act any how they like, as they have been made to feel this way by the society by the popular principle of they being the head of the family.


Also, many married wives have unconsciously made their family a theater of violence. They are never going to be calm for one second before throwing caution to the wind at a spark of any little suspicion they observe about their husband.


Your husband will have female friends, and that doesn't mean he's having extra marital affairs with them. You just have to learn more about him. And this goes with the wives too. Once you understand each other, no need of stealth monitoring.

Be your self. Even if he's acting in a strange way, pretend you don't see it. And try to figure out why the new behavior is coming up at that period. Same applies to the man too.

That's my little contribution to all prospective couples.
