This is why carrying olosho is better...

No drama, no bullshiitt...

Just pay her, put dick in her toto and bounce off to the next when u're done with her...

Nothing is attached to it, except the one that wants a return-match because of the way u treated her...

Even the rematch is well defined - get fvcked, get paid, then get lost....

No time for drama and BS...

May God help some of u guys...

The reason your submission would happen is because the society at large has lost the core values that bind humanity of which marriage is one of the values that bind humanity in good fate.

🔟lessons I learnt in my 10years in marriage🥂

#1. Men crave honor, not just respect. He could get respect from his neighbor, colleagues, even a stranger.

#2. Lower your expectations from the start. Fairytales are fiction and doesn't last longer than a novel or movie length, marriage is a lifetime reality.

#3. You would both hurt yourselves more than you could ever imagine, and your capacities to forgive and love again would be tested. A lot of people don't survive the test.

#4. The likelihood that one spouse would be unfaithful at some point is higher than the statistics... Also It's more likely to be the man. These categories of women would cheat (a) the unrepented slot (b) the unattended or neglected (c) the scorned. The second category are lonely, and the last category just want to get even. Try not to break the trust, it's so difficult to repair.

#5. Children are a blessing from God, but always remember they are the icing and not the cake. They would grow, leave and cleave. Let them be your common interest and love binder, not your escape. May God bless you with your own children 🙏

#6. Be intentional about fanning the flame of your love. It naturally goes out if you don't make the effort to keep it burning.

#7. If you two don't care about each other more than you care about yourselves, you are just flat mates.

#8. Women pls marry men you look up to. Women are drawn to some form of leadership and power. Dear man if you do not possess the one that fascinates the woman you are going for, you will share her eventually.

#9. Man, the only way you can remain the leader in that home is to be the provider. A woman can at best be a contributor, and if she provides it can only be temporary. Hustle my man!

#10. Most matters you take out to outsiders could have been resolved within yourselves. The people you are going out to don't have it any better. Your pastor is not a marriage counselor. Your friends are not the ones you got married to. Your parents have finished their job. Learn to communicate with each other, and resolve your issues.

In summary marriage can be Heaven on earth, or Hell. The way you lay your bed, so you must lie on it. Wish you well 🥂

A wise street man doesn't need anyone to tell him Marriage is full of Baggages upon Baggages and it favours the female gender the most.

This doesn't mean marriage isn't cool and it wouldn't still stop most people from getting married.

Sometimes i come across some married.men i'm older than looking like they are my uncle lol. Some have grew grey hair. I will just be smiling in my mind.

The best marriage is not between two romantic people neither is it between two compatible people.

For any marriage to work, what is required is
1. Kindness
2. Both partners have to be deliberate and intentional with their commitment.

All those love fantasies are just fictions.

Thank you for these bullet points. Thank you!

Stop using grammar to conceal your ignorance.

Marriage is a commitment.
You (not actions of your partner) determine how long you want to stay.
For it to last BOTH partner MUST keep improving themselves in area of life including communication, respect, emotional intelligence, patience, finance and knowledge of God,

Savedday2:
My brother, sorry to be honest with you. If you haven't divorce your wife, you didn't learn anything in that marriage.

Women aren't capable of love/marriage. They are manipulators, using love/marriage as a trap. Kindly, get sense and stay away from love/marriage.

If you are married, divorce her immediately. The fact that she hasn't show you pepper/shege now doesn't means she wouldn't show you pepper.

Women are very pretentious in nature. They can pretend for 20, 30 or even 40years. But one thing is certain, that shege they are cooking for you, you must eat it when the time is right.

I want to advise you with all humidity, kindly divorce your wife, no matter how hard it is or how emotional you are. It's for your own good. Later you will understand.

If you aren't married, God is on your side. Never, ever allow any girl or your emotion to deceive you into marriage. If you want children, have baby mama or better still, adopt or use IVF if you can afford it.

Peace!

A word is enough for the wise.



You go just open mouth waaa

what you say is your mind,in my area in imo state an unmarried man is looked on and regarded as a teenager ,no matter the level of your achievements,if you cannot manage a woman you are still a child in the eyes of everybody,infact it is almost impossible and unthinkable to be a man and reach 40yrs still single in my community ,the very essense of what a man needs the respect and dignity will not be given to you,even if you drive a rolls Royce Cullman.only by managing a woman can you prove you are worthy to be called a man

Most people that will comment here are not even married and struggling managing a relationship yet they will never learn from experienced couples.
The OP manual can only work for a man that demand less and sacrifice alot.
Many guys don't belong to that category tho.

Re: 10 Lessons I Learnt In My 10 Years Of Marriage by franchasofficia: 3:07pm On Apr 09
Op you are right with some points and not entirely correct with some.


Men don't crave for honor, they want absolute respect from their wife. As a lady, respect your husband and he will cherish you, this can be called honor by some, but it all boils down to true and absolute respect.

If you want your husband to worship you and do whatever you ask, respect him, if possibly honor him if I am to borrow op's words. Stop dragging headship with your man, you are wonderfully made as a woman, you women are the flower of life, maintain your feminity, don't try to be a man.


As a man, whether you are living in Washington DC, London, Sydney, Cape Town, Seoul, Tokyo, Kingston or Casablanca, please if you want to enjoy your marriage and enjoy that natural respect from your wife, you must be ready to be the provider (financially, materially and otherwise). Don't copy western culture of sharing financial responsibilities 50-50 with your wife, if you do so, whatever you see in that marriage, take it and do not complain.


Women naturally are not created to provide, so in all your prayers as a man, always pray to God to keep you financially buoyant enough to take care of your family and manly responsibilities.


If your wife must come in, let it be partial contribution, don't mind all these small boys looking for a woman to cater for them, if you are a man, act like a man, provide for your family solely and let your wife assist when necessary and where necessary but don't ever share financial responsibilities equally with your wife if you want to enjoy your marriage. Take your eyes off from your wife's income.



Dear ladies, cheating is beyond every sexually active man's control. It is not as easy to control by men as it is for you ladies.

It is a natural fault. It is a natural flaw that only God understands. Don't divorce a good husband just because he cheated, don't judge a good man by his lack of sexual control, only the God that created him can judge him because he alone understands the battle he is facing in that aspect.

Stay off marriage if you are not ready to say "SORRY" even when you are right. smiley

So I should keep saying sorry even when she misbehaves? That's how these women see it as a sign of weakness and become so manipulative.
Total bullcrap.

The Nigeria system and culture has relegate women to the kitchen as house wife, procreation object.
Women of old were satisfied with such position but today ladies and men has refuse to understand that things has changed alot.
That is why is easy to hear talk from commodity based ladies like "Can you take care of me?" , "Can you afford me?" .
And all the men thinks of is the bdsm style he's planning to experiment on her.
Nothing else lol grin

I have zero pity for whoever is in turbulent home.
They all claim to do the right thing but they didn't.
I will rather go for a resourceful toxic lady than going for a "Can you afford me?" Type of lady.

Nice points

11. Find something doing, don’t relax to answer Oga wife, do something, bring something to the table

12. I learnt to keep quiet during argument because I know if I talk and he talks back, I’ll feel more hurt…
It’s not every fight I should fight.
later on, I walk up to him and present my case, we resolve.

Marriage isn’t work, it’s commitment jare
