What An Elderly Man Told Me About Marriage by betcliq: 8:01pm On Jan 28, 2022
Today one Elderly Man that's in late 80s came to my shop in the morning to patronize me . He was happy with me he bought a bottle of Hot drink and I offered a small bottle of dry Gin in appreciation and a New year gift.
He uttered some words of prayer for me , lastly he told me I'll be great in my business that I will grow in heights . He advised me to be very careful in choosing a girl to marry that I shouldn't pregnant a girl before going to see the parents and pay for bride price that I shouldn't even have sex with her , that a woman I marry will determine if I'll be more successful or encounter challenges in Life . I just dey reason the talk since morning.

This is spiritual I'm From Igbo and I strongly believe in Tradition this got to do with tradition think deep.

What do you guys think about it

You are responsible for achieving one of many possible destinies on your path (based on your choices, decisions, other factors), however, the woman you marry and live with has everything to do with what choices and decisions you make in life. I'll give you a simple example

You have a very big presentation tomorrow, and you need to stay awake tonight to study and make final prep. You're about to go and study, but there's an argument between you and your wife. After the argument is resolved, there is sex to wrap things up, and you're exhausted... till tomorrow morning. You didn't prepare, and your presentation is a flop!

You can call the woman evil all you want, but it was your choice to avoid the argument and sex, knowing you have a presentation the next day. It's on You, however, if your wife had cared about your presentation, she could as well have been supportive and given you a break. That's why they say a woman can make or break you. It's not because she has power over you, it's because she has a reset key you may need frequently

He is only clowning around due to the gift.. grin
Looking at human psychology people say things to make you feel great....

You are more likely to be praised when you offer someone a gift so don't be decieved by mere words.. undecided

He is speaking from a traditional and moral angle which anyone can say..don't take his words..
Be yourself and do what you want cos only you know what you want for yourself.. wink

That was why I said he is speaking from that angle which anyone can say..it all revolves around human psyche.. cheesy

You are more likely to give him a gift when next he comes cos why he told you something which you believe in...
Mind games.. wink

All what he said were things an adult male should have known. It's not spiritual. Even your parents could have told you that same thing.

It was an advise.

It was a coincidence. It's psychology that's toying with your mind.

What do you guys think about it

the old man is partially correct except on the sex part,you must test who ever you want to marry sexually to see how compatible the union will be,if you like sex a lot then it will not make sense to marry a frigid sexless woman

You better adhere strictly to all he told you. Most people don't know the implications of sex before marriage,it's way beyond common knowledge.

.............that a woman I marry will determine if I'll be more successful or encounter challenges in Life
In most cases ..... YES!

Behind every successful man, there are two women.
His mother and his Wife!!


Words of wisdom from the elders.
