@ jeny.A good wife with a noble character should be ready to take care of the family when the man of the house is financially incapacitated.Some women of this generation prefers to dine in the wealth made by the man.I want to marry now not only to have a companion but also to know if any gal to call my wife would accept the above conditions in my previous posts cuz i believe that is a true test for a wife material.

@Goddys, there is a difference between a man being financially weak in the marriage by choice and one being financially weak by luck/hard times.

In your case you are deliberately entering a marriage with no means of caring for your family and this can only spell bad news in the long run.

No doubt you will probably find a woman or two who is prepared to go by your terms, but I can assure you that you are seriously limiting your choice of woman that you will find.

You can have a good companion in your fiancee; and since you have said that it is not the seex that you are looking for, your fiancee can almost do as much as a wife can do. . . . the only difference is that she has an escape clause in her contract.

If you were my blood brother, I will tell you to wait the few months till you graduate and find yourself a job before commiting yourself into something as serious as marriage.
Only because of the character of most women today. Too many conditioned to believing a "happy marriage" is one where all her needs and that of her extended family is provided for by one man. Very few women will consider goddy's offer . . . NOT because it is no good, but because they too are just as hungry, lazy and looking for ready-made-men.

My mom used to say . . . marry in college so you know the woman you marry isnt simply with you for what you can give her. Shld have listened to her.

Re: . by Nobody: 7:59pm On Aug 17, 2011
Dayo,david and co will confuse and misguide those young men out there to be looking for women who can take care of them till they find their feet.
This same men will tear to pieces a woman who is looking for a man to take care of her( which is in order and does not contradict the natural order of things) till she finds her feet. They are looking for a woman they will fifty things with before she is con sidered for marriage. Talk abt double standards. Goddy graduate and look for a job and stop looking for an easy way out. Why are you not looking for a girl that isn't working till u can both find your feet.

I am nurturing the idea of getting married while at school to a fresh graduate,who i believe will start off a job to finance the marital relationship.

This is serious.

1. We "tear these women to pieces" simply because while she is busy looking for a man to take care of her (a lazy, confused, misguided, unbiblical stance), she would NEVER consider being with a man who may need a little help to find his feet. The bible says woman was made as an "HELP-MEET" to the man not as his trophy to be catered to. THAT ma'am is the natural order of things - proverbs 31!

andromida:

The REAL double standard is the women looking for men who have made it as marriage material while ignoring those who are still working hard to get to the top. Too many women are looking at marriage now as their ticket out of poverty, very few are willing to stand by a man through the hard times so they can both grow together.

The smart thing i always advocate for professional men these days, find your type . . . marry a woman who is equally putting in her own shift to generate income for the family, if you spend 50% of your money to take care of family needs . . . you still have your remaining 50% and at least her own 80% as savings for the rainy day for the family. The bible talks about marriage as a partnership - if one falls, the other will lift him/her up. Today women are too busy looking for a man who will lift them up 110% of the time. The poor should marry the poor chikena.

When will you advice your fellow women in this manner? Why are YOU looking for a man who is working? Cant you help him find his feet too? Is that a crime?

Why do men always complain about women who want made men. There are different kinds of women why are you going for fly gals? Gals who will hussle from scratch with a man are more than gals looking for made men.The problem is with the man who wants to marry flash and then complain.

Most times if you look properly u can tell btwn a lazy man and a hard working man who isn't there yet.women will choose d latter if they are convinced he will get there.I cannot blame a woman for running from a lazy broke man.

Na lie. men dont bother to marry early these days because the available women are too busy looking for men with cars, houses and foreign passports. Tell me you are not looking for the same and let me call you a liar. cheesy

Why are they looking to be "convinced"? why cant they convince the man that they are hardworking and willing to get there too? Are they existing simply to sit in a boutique all day enjoying another man's sweat?

I repeat - men marry ya type. If you have passport, marry only those with passports and if you are a professional then find a like-minded professional and hardworking woman to marry. enough of helping these lazy bones.

Well the man can run if he wants a working woman luckily variety is the spice of life many men still want housewives and many women are content to stay at home.If a man feels he wants a woman they will fifty things together he should go for it but a man should never aspire to be a houseman it is a crime against humanity and poster should not be misguided the same Bible says a man who cannot take care of his family is worse than an infidel.

why is it a crime against humanity? women do it, don't they? in this era of sex equality, what a man can do - a woman can do and vice versa.
women want the same salary scheme as men, women want the same rights as men and you are saying men should not aspire to be house-husbands?
why is that?

no mind am. I was very impressed to meet a postdoc here who was the breadwinner while her husband was a stay at home dad. turns out they planned it that way, he worked while she went to school then he stayed home while she finished her 2-3 yrs as a postdoc.

See andromida saying men should not aspire to be house-husbands but it is ok for her to sit at home and swallow eba with her big mouth. grin
Re: . by Nobody: 9:22pm On Aug 17, 2011
Because money is the language the world understands and a man's role is to be a protector, provider for his family besides men are naturally egotistical by nature they expect a woman to respect them, look up to them e.t.c If a man cannot earn money how will he play his role? Should he just become a sperm donor? Even physically women in comparism to men are fragile.Take it or leave it we are the weaker sex anyother story is a falsehood.

Hear yourself o, he worked while she skooled. He already convinced her he is man enough u c there is a solid reason why he is staying home and she is working.

Nonsense.  grin So a woman's role is just to act as an egg donor and bottomless pit for a man's cash? So reading proverbs 31 where the bible EXPRESSLY asks women to work to provide for her family is wrong? God forgot He created women as the weaker sex abi? After you will come here talking about 50:50 when it comes to washing plates.

Most men will readily go out to graft so their family can live good, they are just tired of empty women with a huge sense of entitlement for things they have not earned. Its very sad when a woman feels her butt and breasts should be a ticket to living a life she does not deserve all on the back of another man who has worked tirelessly to be successful.

Women who stay at home and dnt bring home money are not egg donors they do more. Stop pulling them down what they do is immeasurable. You cannot do what they do for 2weeks u'll become frustrated.stop drinking panadol for men who like their stay at home wives u musnt marry one.

but men who stay home are fluid donors right? Even though they do EXACTLY the same thing women who sit at home do? What exactly is this "more" that this women do? I suppose they do much more than the men out there hustling so she can complain he isnt making enough to buy her the type of gele mama lagbaja's husband bought for her abi?

more white women are staying home to raise their children. i don't hear their men complaining. infact their men prefer it. but our black brothers won't let us breath immediately after you throw graduation cap into the air, oya go work  grin. na so the economy bad reach? huh
odikwa serious.
Re: . by Nobody: 9:51pm On Aug 17, 2011
Men do not do what women do OK. They do not carry babies for 9mnths, push them into existence or be cut up and afterwards breastfeed them.

so this is the "more" you claimed women do abi? grin Shior!
What of working women? they outsource their pregnancies to surrogate mothers abi?

So because you bear my child you are therefore entitled to a lifestyle of lazily chopping all my money abi? Better read proverbs 31 again, it wasnt refering to a child-less woman.

Go and find out what the divorce rate among those same white people is. More white men are managing the situation because divorce would be even more expensive. so many women who get divorced and now take alimony/child support in lieu of getting a job.
Re: . by Nobody: 10:28pm On Aug 17, 2011
Well david u did say "exactly" so I was just pointing out one of the "more" aspect and dem plenty and yes a woman gives birth to babies for YOU means you should be man enough to take care of her and YOUR children shebi they will be bear your name or will they bear her fathers name and they will come from your villa that's some contribution so that your name or is it family name will not fade out of history.

Anyway its good for a woman to work and have financial independence and a life apart from hubby and kids so that she will be fulfilled.

@ armyofone pls tell them seems some Nigerian men are starting to complain too much. They seem to be angry about their lot and jealous of their female counterparts.
Re: . by dayokanu(m): 10:36pm On Aug 17, 2011
Yes Nigerian men are jealous that our women are becoming soo lazy and cant work again rather they are looking for a man to feed them for the rest of their lives.

As a woman all you need to be succesful is a cute face, Breast and nyash.
Re: . by Nobody: 10:52pm On Aug 17, 2011
I had no idea mobo's campaign is so effective.

Majority of Nigerian women are looking for responsible men to support not baby unfortunately the no of responsible good men dwindles everyday and too many irresponsible are now on the lose. Men now want to be women. Soooo sad.
Re: . by dayokanu(m): 11:17pm On Aug 17, 2011
Majority of Nigerian men are looking for equal partners to assist one another in building the family and the society unfortunately the number of responsible and self respecting women have so reduced and too many lazy bones are out there. No wonder every 16yr old is looking for an aristo

Women now want to be housegirls, Babies, parasites, leeches, lazybones who contribute nothing aside their pucci to relationships . Sooo Sad
Re: . by Nobody: 1:19am On Aug 18, 2011
I was expecting that verse. I don't support stay at home mums but the fact still remains that the bible's made it clear that men are the primary provider not the other way round. A man that cannot provide for his family even if his wife earns more than him, is really not a man.
Re: . by Johndoe100(m): 1:37am On Aug 18, 2011
The original poster really just wants a debate, who will marry his broke azz? Let him get a job, first then he can have his live in woman / wife.

Proverbs showed us that women are equally responsible
Re: . by N101: 2:58am On Aug 18, 2011
The problem I have with some aspects of this debate is that the men who end up with the women looking for a ready-made man make the mistake of going for looks over personality. That's not to say that looks don't have their place, but very few men are interested in the character of a woman. They go for the fake babes who then make their lives miserable, next thing you hear how bad women are.

I don't have a problem with the poster looking for a wife, but I do have a problem with the fact that he isn't financially independent but his family still pay his school fees etc.  If he was managing it all himself, then he would be in a better position to look for a wife of some means. But with marriage comes responsibility and a lot of maturity, beyond someone to do the house chores and coming home to a cooked meal.

Add to that the stress of studying, managing a home and working, it isn't easy.  I think the poster needs to think this through very carefully before looking to bring someone into his situation.
