ftmom: Yes, I would . . . . . He doesn't have a six pack, he's no handyman, he doesn't know how to really cook, he's no billionaire, he doesn't give audience to my bad moods and and we don't watch the same shows BUT he's the quintessential Mr Clean, he loves me and the kids without reservation, he always puts us first, he's a great provider, a talented lover, trusts me completely in everything and every way and he is my best friend. I have never wanted another and would still marry him again. We are each other's complement. Love you, Darl kiss kiss

What a woman! Bless you dear!

Yes o! Will marry her all over again. I love her quietness! I trust her! She has a kind heart like me..lol Knowing I am into entertainment and I encounter a million and one female, she doesn't bother me or allow that bothers her cause she takes my "WORD" for it that I wont exchange her for a million Beyonce and Janet Jackson.. above all she gave me the cutest kid in the Planet, Zion! He is a shining light that burns in our lives.... Yes o! I will marry her all over again.
Nice thread by the way. Bless

Yes I will over and over and over and over again. What is there not to love. He is intelligent, tall, brooding, reserved, mature, dark, deep, has a good sene of humour, caring, loving, handsome but only cos I take eye go market oh nothing to do with his good genes at all at all, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera cheesy

But I bet if asked if he feels the same way about lil modest Godfearing angelic me, he will carry his shoes on his head and run a mile cheesy grin cheesy

Asides from the longsuffering ish, are you aware that Christians are not supposed to rely on or utilise the world's Court system, but instead seek the Elders in Church to mediate on such affairs, just as the Muslims have their Sharia Courts, etc too shocked And your guess about what these Elder's judgemet would be is as good as mine.

TechRev: I WILL. i will marry her, marry her, marry her, over and over and over and over and over till eternity. I agree i dont love her as i do one of my former girlfriend. But I cant imagine marrying any other woman than my wife should i do it again a million times. I will marry her over and over she is the other half i always wanted.

in as much as i applaud ur sincerity of loving ur Ex more than ur wife, but don't ur think that shouldn't be so?! just asking o!

People and everyone have the ability to truely love one person and one alone, if the person you married is the one you truely fell for then you are in luck.....you can't have butterfly feelings for everyone.....and that is just my opinion. smiley

I am not sure! I have thought about it several times and with what i know now I cant say.I am reasonably happy in my marriage and have no plans of it ever breaking up so dont get me wrong.But there are definitely somecharacteristics that he has that i would rather not have had to face. The major one being his attitude to money, he works hard but is always in debt. No savings, no investments nothing to show. Luckily I work and earn a decent salary and most of all I save. Unfortunately now I have to hide my savings from him cos he has borrowed from me soo many times and never repayed. The last straw was when I fell ill and my parents had to foot my hospital bill cos I had emptied my account for him and he had no money.
He has his good points but this particular bad one makes me wonder if I would do it all over again. As for now, i have laid my bed so I am making it as comfortable as possible so I can lie in it.

my dear i realy feel for u, my little advice is dat u can help ur husband save hismoney.

1st sit wit him n tok abt it, once he gets his salary,let him give u at least 20% of it,keep it in a new bank acct preferably a fixed deposit were he wunt gain much acess in his name to erase all doubt.

2nd do 95% of all d buyings dat he needs,up to his undies.
My dear am sure u know how to put dis discussion with ur hubby down so he dosnt feel u are being rude or prying too much.
I do not suport a joint accout but i tink u both will need it,cos no one can get acess to d mony axcept d oda party signs.
I hope my little advice would make a change... Goodluck

*deep breathe*
Well, with sm of the experiences here, I can say I'm glad I'm not married yet. Its a pointer that i should be very very careful, so I don't make a disaster of my peaceful life.


Sadly, I'm in a r/ship with a man who wants to marry me by all means, but I don't believe he deserves me.
Infact, to cut d long story short, he's a TYRANT, OVERBEARING, TOO INSECURED, AGGRESSIVE, HOT-TEMPERED n more.

I pray that God wld have mercy on me n deliver frm such a doom n lead me to a man that deserves me. So that in future I can be amongst those bragging abt their spouses, IJN. Amen. This, I also pray for all odas in my shoe.
Re: Given A 2nd Chance, Would You Still Marry Your Spouse? by Bokoharam: 3:23am On Jan 12, 2013
taryour: Yes yes yes and yes. I would marry him allover again and again if given d 3rd,4th,5th till forever.... We simply just cant leave without eachoder. Still loving each other like we just meet. He is d best man ever created by God,d best hubby,father and friend. He is unique and he is my WORLDSGREATEST....



Sisi_Kill: WARNING - IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION HONESTLY, MAKE SURE YOUR SPOUSE DOES NOT. . .I REPEAT DOES NOT KNOW YOUR NL USERNAME.

You are now free to open Pandora's box.

Thank you!!

Lol. He sure knows mine and will post his soon...



For sure, all these men and women singing this sycophantic lullaby do so bc their spouses know their ID and are watching them comment. What a world of hypocrisy we live in.

I TOTAlLY feel you. Once had a bf like that, wanting to marry me at all cost too, he is the exact of what u described above...I called him up one day, sat him and pointed tabled reasons why I cldnt be married to him, he continued pestering me, I went further to report him to he's folks, I guess they talked sense into him, that was it. He eventually allowed me be when I started dating someone else...Maybe you should do the same...

I feel somewhat of an outsider. Could it be that Nigerians in courtship no longer believe in God? Firm foundations generally make for firm structures. And good planning counts too. Asides those two, everything else is half luck.
People generally don't become bad overnight. Turning a blind (or tolerant) eye with the hope & belief that a spouse would change is what oftentimes begets the crack in the wall. For that, you can blame yourself alone. Forget "he promised me this" or "she promised me that".
Mine is a good marriage. She's neither superwife nor supermom. Nor am I. We don't kid ourselves & had reality laid on the table before setting out. Sure, things could always change but with the right mix & the right person, I see no reason why they should. After all, it is prettily said, "you don't change a winning team."

My answer, yes. Again & again. Like fine wine, we're maturing with time. And oh, you've gotta see our children.
