Yesterday my sister was telling me of a colleague that was telling another man whose wife resigned a stressful job that he can't take any rubbish from woman let alone the one not earning. They were together at work when his wife called him to buy Knorr cubes and he should stop somewhere to buy Xpression hair extension for their daughter. The wife is jobless. He immediately started making excuses for his wife. That she is building her career at home.


Hahahaha. Knorr specifically.

Lmao πŸ˜‚

So yesterday, he came around my place, I noticed his mood isn't as cheerful as it used to be... I asked, what was wrong?. He said "You Neva marry you no go understand".
He wanted to say more, but I said no need, he shouldn't say anything.. till he left I kept quiet.. I didn't say anything...
So I want to ask o, if na only married person fit give advice to who don marry...

There are 2 types of experiences

Personal experience

Proxy experience ie learning from others mistake or experience


So you may not have personal experience but may have seen, studied and learnt from other affected marriages which he hasn't. So single people are qualified too.

Marriage counseling from Paul wey una stilll misconstrue? LOL... Paul has nothing to do with what you lot refer to as Christian marriage today... an idea that is not only antichrist but does not fit in well as far as healthy relationships go. lipsrsealed

The whole Bible is filled with "antichrist" semantics.

So should we discard it entirely?
...coz bible actually puts the woman beneath the man.

It could either be true in its entirety, or it can be assumed to be filled with unhealthy/antichrist ideas

I am afraid there is absolutely no truth to the statement in bold, so I would say you are on your own with your thoughts there. Christianity, as a religion, is the very antiChrist system of doctrines and traditions of men that Jesus Christ warned His followers to steer clear of. Christianity is not Scripture and Scripture is not Christianity. undecided

You made sense but I didn't get the last line.

If we steer clear of religious Christian tradition, how then do we get to now the Christ?
We learnt about him from these same religious institutions you condemn.

Jesus Christ never called any man to embrace the religion of men β€” doctrines and traditions of men. He made it abundantly clear to His followers that such ideas were born of lies designed to deceive and delude the gullible (blind followers). To be a follower of Jesus Christ is instead to trust in and obey Jesus Christ's very own teachings and commandments β€” God's Law and contract(constitutional Law) in the Kingdom of God. undecided

It depends on what the situation is. Some experience are gotten from personal experience, some from other people's similar situation you have seen etc.

It is cool to get advice from older people; above 30, without marriage. It is the best.

Let's rephrase your question:

Can a male gynecologist offer medical services to a pregnant woman seeing that he has never been pregnant and can't be pregnant?

Yes u can. If u can give good advice.

But to me I feel marital problems are actually psychological and behavioural problems that can be given pointers by someone who understands human behaviour...

Marital problems are deeper than you think they are. You can give logical pointers or advice, but the two people involved are entwined spiritually and physically. You're only going to get in their way. That coupled with married arrogance, well, I wouldn't want a single person giving me advice.

It's why whenever threads pop up with men complaining it saying something about their wives, we all know it's wasted efforts and that they want their wives to be publicly insulted to feel good, meanwhile they're not going anywhere.

Should prosperity advice be taken from the poor?

Can one ask of direction from the blind? A single person can only at best give you theoretical solutions.

The basic principles that makes the universe work is anchored on the fact that, you can’t give what you don’t have.

You don't know anything then. The best financial advisers are actually themselves not even 1/10th as rich as those whose money they manage. Go back go see for yourself. undecided
