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

The person that cursed you is dead, so no need begging you to change. undecided

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

Is is very correct, never rob people by impregnating their daughter before going to them to ask for their blessing. Pray for God's guidance as you make plan to settle down. The woman you marry can lift you up and can also be that which will destroy you.

Success in life is about ur choices and how u think basically. Marriage is obviously one of those choices.

To the other part getting a gal pregnant b4 seeing her parents basically means u didn’t plan on marrying her bt due to circumstances u might have to or atleast deal with some unnecessary responsibilities.

I don’t know about the other things he said.

True talk.
An elderly man once told me " Do not count yourself a lucky man, until you get married. Your wife can ruin or make you.

This old man revealed a secret to success to you...

It is not even about the sex, It is the lady as whole with her spirituality.....My father will say, something positive will happen, and continue to happen the moment she step into your life... smiley

Marry the right one, you will multiply in all dimensions...Do otherwise, you get reduced to a church rat..

These elders are filled with wisdom.

socialmediaman:
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

I wish I can agree fully with you on the bolded. Even as I don't see any correlation between success and the choice of a partner, something in me, deep down believes a wife can affect a man's success unknowingly

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
why....you! undecided
Re: What An Elderly Man Told Me About Marriage by BabaIbo: 9:53pm On Jan 28, 2022
That was how a man advice me on marriage too sometimes last year.

That advice really opened y eyes to some things.

He told me no matter what, I should try and be there for my wife(future wife) in her pregnancy period because anything I do to her at this stage will go a long way on how she sees and feel for me later on.

I pondered on it and in doing that I arrive at a point where I realized that sometimes some men will be complaining their wives suddenly change for no reason, but they never knew most women are wired to hold on to memories and it have effect on their future decisions.


May God guide and direct his children.

Forget about your material wealth or educational qualification. Until you bring home a wife then it will determine how you will be successful in life.
