Family › Re: Arranged Marriages Were Better Than Modern Marriages. by 5minsmadness(op): 12:13pm On Apr 10, 2015
kandiikane:

It is quite obvious that what the op is looking for in an arranged marriage is quite different to the one I stated
. I do not think you get it, kids were an example. Some couples have kids already. Many people are fulfilled on their own so marriage would just be a bonus to them. Obviously, you won't understand because you have not seen or experienced such marriages, same way many won't understand the concept of open marriages. I have had experiences with arranged marriages by two consenting adults and i have seen it work because even though they are married, . I have also seen a consenting adult with older kids who became a second wife via an arranged marriage. She entered into it on her own terms and she has been married for 22years now. Not everyone is into that emotional attachment, some just want someone to grow old with, a friend Or someone to warm their beds each night, same way some are comfortable being alone.
Hmmn.
It's like I've been misunderstood somewhat.
I advocated compatibility before love and not the absence of love /emotional attachment in it's entirety.

Adolescent love/ Eros love is fleeting and is a poor foundation for a lifetime commitment.

5minsmadness hi,

Love your premise. Meant to post a while back after reading the OP, then the thread and I kept on missing each other. I am absolutely a fan of arranged marriages and would consider then objectively better than those termed love marriages.

I don’t personally consider an arranged marriage one where, sight unseen, two families agree to marry off their children – without recourse to them and possibly before they are even born – sometimes for some other underlying reason such as an oath or debt. I consider those forced marriages.

For me, arranged marriages in the good/proper sense, is where the parents/elders take an active role in helping set selection criteria and vetting potential spouses. The final decision still rests with the two individuals.

It should of course be preceded by grounding their children in what marriage actually is and what it entails in a real pragmatic and practical sense. And have particular emphasis on what character attributes are essential for a fulfilling marriage.

It can be fairly loose or more formal and can even take on a more communal feel. A great example of this is the debutante season that was a highlight of the social calendar here in times past.

All it really entailed, was families of a certain social standing arranging for their young men and women to make social contact in an enabling environment – and hopefully things would natural happen. I know this may be a little harder in our more global times, but it is absolutely doable.

I think Ewuro4 mentioned plans for something like that at a family level. I actually know of someone who entered a much more formal arranged marriage – “only because I want to please my parents” – after 3 years she was totally in love. Why? She had a husband who acted accordingly – and ultimately that’s what sustains marriages.


I followed BabyOsisi' marital advice to new and intending thread and the one thing that struck me strongly was that most of the women would have been much better served and most of the issues raised obviated by involving their elders in their relationships. And at it's heart, that's what arranged marriages are really about.

Good one

This is why I want to have your vocabulary prowess when I re-incarnate.
Nice one sir.

Cc LordReed. Pls take note of the difference between arranged marriage and forced marriage as TV has explained here.

LOL!

What a joke! only it is so sick that I can't even laugh!

Mistresses are short lived! An average mistress knows A, B, C is married and is in it for the money in the first place.

Anyways, whatever rocks your boat.

I am sure your target audience will be happy knowing that the woman their husband is currently Bleep.ing is short-lived before he moves to the next one.

Not every woman is willing to share her husband with a short-lived or a miniature-lived mistress undecided

And I know the OP is trolling; he is male in another thread
If u can't laugh then u have a poor sense of humor.
What do you know about mistresses? Have u been one? Are friends with one? Or you draw your conclusions from nollywood?

An average mistress is NOT married. She is usually a singe woman in her mid twenties to late thirties. Reasons for becoming a mistress are numerous but the most common is finances and residual love(an ex from the past who got married). Most mistresses cannot wait to get married themselves because in truth no woman likes to share a man and even the mistresses get jealous becuse do not like their current situation. It's not all about money or "toe-curling orgasms" ' for women. (Or is it?)

Sure there are married women who engage in lusty extramarital affairs but they can hardly be termed mistresses as they are busy with their families and aren't as free with their time as the singles and so cannot be called away by the philandering man at a moments notice.

It is a source of comfort knowing the mistress is short-lived, yes. It doesn't mean they should condone it, it doesn't mean they support it. Nobody is asking them to be happy sharing their husband with a short-lived or miniature-lived mistress. Stop being so oestrogenic.

Goldenboy007:
Change your perception and approach -
Learn this -

1) Every marriage has issues, yours isnt an exception
2) Leaving your marriage should not be an option for you
3)Never tell your wife - I am the man in the house - weak men say that - God has made you the man and you don't need to prove it to anybody
4) Marriage is all about patience , patience and more patience
5, Don't demand respect , earn it !
6) Loving you is not automatic, show her love first, be romantic, don't be old school. Treat her the way you treated her when you were dating, buy gifts, take her for dinner, send love poems to her , make her feel special, serve her like a gentle giant, use love not fear to win her over!
7) if you think there is a better woman out there you are a big joker ! If you leave this one you will never stop on two ! They are all the same, what this one has as strength the other will have it as a weakness, you will just trade a problem to inherit another problem!
cool if you cannot manage 1 person why do you think God will hand over a company or business to you?
9) What you can't accept don't give her, if you come back from work and you are tired, if she goes to work she is tired too. Be considerate ! Help out in all chores ! It doesn't make you less of a man !
10) 2 months is too early to complain - learning stage can take 8 years ....take it from me .
11) Marriage is a union of two people from different homes with different values! The value your mother taught you might be different from what her mother taught her. It doesn't make your own superior to hers, don't try to change her , the character she has had for years, you want to correct it in 2 months? Are you professor Pellar? Even God stopped trying to change man that He created so He gave them free will ! Do as you like !
13) Respect her as your equal, if you want a woman that will kneel down for you , leave the city and enter the village, I am telling you you will pick and choose! Plenty there !
14) You have a long way to go, carry your cross and follow God or whomever you have decided to follow. Weak men give up easily ! A failed marriage will haunt you for the rest of your life ! As far as she is not sleeping around then all other problems are manageable ! Be wise !
Did you read the opening post at all?

Feel good line or not, it's the truth.
Mistresses are short-lived and they know it.
The enjoyment isn't forever.
And trust you ladies, you want to have the heart of your man and not just his penis. The mistress is never satisfied knowing she doesn't have his heart.
Hence she tries to encroach by getting pregnant or sending the wife stinkers or some other drama.
They are not satisfied.
They are not happy.
And no amount of sex or money will change that.

nairalife2013:
I found out loving a lady and giving her too much attention actually creat certain overconfidence in women. I used to doubt this and strongly believed if u love yur wife or girlfriend so much u must show. I ignored all indirect reference advanced by freinds and older relations abt spoiling my wife wid so much care, attention and gifts - I couldn't allow my wife to do anything, I would drive her anywhere she wanted to go, I constantly missed work to be around her her and forged excuses to butress my point, I got a car for her when she was still in sch, I installed all necessary domestic gadgets at home to ensure she was absolutely comfortable, I was d one dat procured all her clothings even undies at very regular intervals. She started behaving just like yur spouse. Coming bak hom became disturbing to me. I was going bunkers and my mind was filled wid bitter regrets. I was constantly hoping she would do somthing worst to embolden me to practically file for a divorce. I started withdrawing my self from her. I was tired of life and I hoped I could just die and go and rest. No words can ever depict what I had to go tro inside of me. I lost great numbers of contract jobs cos of low spirit and money became hard to come by. She had to start paying some bills from her own purse and run d home. She has changed now and has apologised severally owing all her past deeds to d devil's handiwork and hoping time can be brought bak so she can undo all her erroneous deeds and make me the loving, caring, weeping man I used to be. Am now convinced women are but like the world itself - u can never understand them...
Please bro what made her change?

You are not and can never be more important than his wife, let's just get that clear. What you guys have is more of a business relationship and not an emotional one.

Having said that, if he has been faithfully fulfilling his end of the bargain for services rendered and then suddenly over the past 3months he has reneged, then you should understand that something has happened. If he is a client worth keeping then I suggest you do some customer care and be understanding during this trying period. He will eventually pick up again. Unless you want to lose him to other 'mistresses' you have to play patience and understanding this period.

Is he your only client?

Family › Guys, is this possible? Can you do this? by 5minsmadness(op):
So this man married this woman as a virgin and they have lived happily for years. All of a sudden the woman starts to talk about how she married as a virgin and how she would have liked to have had sex with someone else at least once in their marriage. its a joke of course and they laugh at it, but later the man sees a text from her friend at work telling her the visiting supervisor must really like her to have given her a favorable job. He says nothing but begins to monitor her phone and soon enough he finds out she has arranged a clandestine meeting with the visiting supervisor who is returning to his base the next day. He still says nothing but gets the address for the rendezvous and follows the wife. he watches her enter a hotel room with the guy and then he goes home.

The next day he finds out the supervisor has returned back to his base. The man keeps sending text messages but the woman states clearly that it was a one time thing, a mistake and please he shouldn't ruin her marriage. Her husband reads all this but does nothing and the wife does not suspect that husband knows her secret. But he notices she is now moody and quiet most times. She is a very religious woman and not the flirtatious type at all so this thing has really surprised him but he doesn't say anything but he knows she is dying of guilt inside. Finally before the week runs out the wife returns from fellowship service in tears and kneels before the man to beg him. She begins with

" I have a confession to make...I did something terrible..."

But the man stopped her and told her to get up that he doesn't want to hear anything from her. when she wants to persist he tells her that if he knows everything about her now she wont be able to surprise him when they grow older. he says he forgives her for whatever she wanted to say but that he'd rather not hear about it, it should be her secret. That he loves her and that is all she needs to know.
