Acidosis:
You will never know the importance of a good marriage until you hit 60, 70+


Family over financial dreams bro. When money eventually comes, you will end up spending it all on your nieces and nephews. I know a man that currently begs his nieces and nephews to spend their holidays with him. They may love him as an Uncle but trust me, no Uncle can take the place of a good parent.

Do not complicate life further for yourself... find a good woman and marry her.

MARRIAGE AND CHILD BEARING are very important dreams everyone should pursue. It is not good for a man to be lonely.. that's the first thing the Bible said when a partner was prescribed. Do not let anyone confuse you or encourage the path you've chosen. Loneliness is a terrible thing, it will lead to depression and death; it kills faster than poverty.

Our best moments were those days when we had nothing. You can never imagine the fun we had drinking garri on campus with those watery beans. Today, people only try to spend some money on fun events after series of insults and pressures from bosses and customers. You can be broke, happy and happily married, but I don't know a happily single old man or woman, I don't know ANY because they don't exist.

You wouldn't want to experience the consequences of loneliness, trust me.
Pastor Acidosis....

Marriage is not for everyone.

We have our dear Apostle Paul.

However, I agree that most people need the companionship a wonderful marriage provides.

Don't be too sure dear, humans differ_women differ.
I have an acquaintance who recently went into a polygamous home. Her reason being that she loves the freedom it gives. The man can't monitor the whole wives at once, so she can run her own show. There are women with very poor sex drive that will tell the man to go outside and get it, let them rest.

I have always pitied men who think their wives looking the other way while they cheat brazenly_ is forgiveness... grin

Only a woman that cares about you, will be concerned about your philandering. Be very afraid of the woman that doesn't care...

This one might be false, but it happens.
I was just pondering a while back that polygamy actually gives freedom that monogamy doesn't especially when all the wives are level headed enough to think straight. Wife one can go to school or pursue her business on extended periods while other women/ maids watch the kids and cares for the husband. Those even who are home all day probably rotate caring for their husbands. Most of those wives gallivanting Dubai on the excuse of buying goods must be polygamous.

In that days of old, husbands tend to have different women for different needs... a legal wife for legitimate heirs and keep the house/ a maid for housekeeping (if they were rich), a mistress/mistresses for sex and maybe another for logical stimulation.

This idea of one wife being the best cook, best home keeper, best mother, best accountant at work, bitch in bed, hottest chic in town and still be his confident seems a 'modern' concept.

I am sure that some modern wives are more stressed than their older counterparts despite the 'automation' the modern wives enjoy.

I however wonder how the olden wives satisfied themselves sexually.

I went to the filing station to buy fuel this morning, and all five attendant where women. Two days ago, I was at the mtn office to retrieve my line, and seven out of the ten staffs where women. At the bank, where I went to make some deposite, fifteen out of the 20 staffs I count where women.

Women's liberation is starting to fail in truth, its not actually succeeding contrary to what women are thinking. As it stand, un-officially, there are more women in the labour force than they are actually men . test yourself this way , when last did you see a sign post that reads " sales boy wanted".

Women need to start understand why they are not getting married. It because you have our jobs.truth is, 99 percent of the world so call secrets are often hidden in "plain site" once we upset the natural order of things, there are usually consequences.

That consequence is what have you women all clustering around one good man doing well. If men can cannot find jobs (which you all don't seem to realize you are sitting on) how do you expect them to get married. Do you all actually believe men don't want to be married?

This is a third world nation, in which the government is naturally struggling to create jobs. The few available once created has to be contested for with women. How do we expect to properly continue with the institution of family. Traditional roles have change. Baby mama are trending. Its such a shame that whenever we welcome any new development, we fail to tailor them to suit our realities. In the end we end up being the once to suffer. Don't run to church. Rather give us back the jobs you have taken and see how man marriages will take place in the space of a year.

Good day and stay bless all of you.
You want women to resign from their jobs so that men can pick them and marriages happen? What will the ladies now do?

Same Nigeria where y'all don't want a 'lazy' woman?

Besides, have you been to the mechanic's shop? Vulcanizer's? Barbing Salon? You go to female dominated jobs and complain. Perhaps women should no longer go to school so we don't contest admission in the first place. You will agree with me that it is a waste for a parent to train his/her in university if they don't intend to use it.

And why blame the women and not the men who specify female onlyhuh

Romance › Re: Men Are Getting Weaker And Women Are Getting Stronger by bukatyne(f): 6:36pm On Apr 23, 2017
putit:
In recent times, men are getting weaker while women are getting stronger. Most men now act weak around women. That's why there are so many spoilt n disrespectful young women out there.

It's damn crazy..

There are so many wussy men who now eat up and condole these girls bad behaviors because they need sex from them. These spoilt women now feel they can eat their cake and have it. That's bad

Women can't live without men and they know it.. It's no surprise all my life I have heard women say they would rather hangout with male instead of female because they tend to get along with guys. And note that women with more male friends have more sex but not actually with them.

If a woman is placed in a jungle were there are wild animals, I doubt if she'll come out alive but put a man in a jungle full of wild animal, there is possibility he'll survive because men have physical attributes that can help him fight predators. Men have the body suited for fighting both animal and man.


Women may not possess the physical attributes of men but they have the ability to emotionally manipulate men..It's no wonder a girl of 20 years old can make a man of 45 years old behave like a 5 years old boy. Sex is the most powerful tool women have against men


Women are the gate keepers of sex while men are the gate keepers of commitment/relationships. Women knows they are the sexual gate keepers, and they know some men can sacrifices their kidneys (or even their life) for sex. That's why they take full advantages of it to emotionally manipulate men to get what they want.

Everybody always tell women to be cautious when it comes giving men sex but nobody told men to be cautious when it comes to the amount of ATTENTION they give women.

SEX is the most powerful weapon a woman have against a man

ATTENTION (or validation) is the most powerful weapon a man have against a woman.

Men are not taking advantage of the power ( of attention) they have. Women needs men attention. That's why they spend long time making up and painting their face before stepping out of their house
Attention is important to women ( and I think they love male attention more than sex itself). A man can manipulate a woman’s desire through adjustments to the amount or intensity of attention he gives to or withholds from her.

That's why a woman will chase a man that pay/give less attention to her.
Are we talking random men/women relationship or marriage?

I'm gonna tell you a story.

My brother has a friend; they graduated from the university together. Dude went to a conc pako public primary school where the mode of communication was Yoruba. After Secondary School, dude went to learn how to be a vulcanizer. When he was almost through with his training, he approached an uncle to help him with money for accommodation. His intentions were simple; after graduation, settle down.

Uncle encouraged him to go to computer school instead of renting a house; he agreed. Then later, uncle encouraged him to get a jamb form. Dude was like "ki lo n shey boda yii now" (what is wrong with this brother) but reluctantly agreed. This same person graduated as the second best student in his class, is now a graduate assistant in the school (a federal govt university) and currently enrolled in a MSc. program. My brother once told me he went to his hostel room very early one day while they were undergraduates and found him reading "Queen Primer" and "Brighter Grammar".

Now, dude is so fresh and packaged with impeccable english too.

My point: anyone with a desire to learn should not be written off. No one brought "good english" from heaven. It's a skill we all acquired here on earth. If that's the only place she is wanting; it can be corrected.

My 2 cents
Your brother's friend polished himself for himself (not because a woman pressured him or set it as a pre-condition for marriage).

Is the OP's woman interested in polishing herself for herself?

After getting the ring, most people become complacent especially those who were faking it or gave false promises in the first place.

I don't know where this funny idea that a lady must be unpolished to be good character wise and polished ladies don't make good wives. Except y'all are telling me that
1. You are not from polished homes/your sisters & female relations are unpolished so they are well behaved or
2. Your polished sisters and female relations make terrible wives

@trem321

Marriage is for the long haul so we must remember that what matters to us at 30 might not matter at 50. Ask yourself if you will be happy with your unpolished wife in future when you see your colleagues' polished wives even more devout to their husbands.

Like you said, you fear she will not be your taste when you 'arrive'..... Can you cope with what you see then (forget all those you can train her; if she is not willing to change/learn, OYO. One OP still opened a tread about his unambitious and unpolished wife a while back)

What are your girl's desires? what are her ambitions? What drives her? Where does she see herself in 10yrs? 20yrs?

What is your definition of a wife? What do you want from your wife? Some men want food, home and kids from a wife while they get companionship outside; some feel a wife cannot adequately provide the sex they need; some want trophy wives as handbags when they go out for functions; some what the whole package in a wife etc.....

What do you want from her as a wife?

And remember that this girl deserves 100% so do you.

Might make sense, if both of you visit a sex therapist or simply buy or download her books to read.
She might be genuinely tired, looking after a child + looking after the home is a full time job.
One thing I can say is, the older marriage get, the lesser the wives are interested in sex (statistical analysis)

Three times a week on the regular, might be pushing it.......
But 4 times a month, might seem regular for some. By the time you have 3 kids, at this rate, you know say shop don close b dat.
Maybe the wives have been continually hurt over time and/or over burdened. Statistically, women's libido increase as they grow older.

So interested in picture of olden foreign marriages.... read the article below:

Human beings have been pairing off into couples for a long, long time, and nearly every culture has its tales of faithful lovers who overcame tremendous obstacles to be together. Love is awesome. I can attest personally to the deep joy that accompanies committing wholeheartedly to the man who has taken it upon himself to love me back, no matter what. It is delight. It is security. It is to have a home in a big, wide, tumultuous world. Who wouldn’t want that?

Yet love, of course, is never easy; and some societies are better than others at helping nurture it. In modern-day America, one of the biggest obstacles to true love is the idea that we each have a moral right—even, perhaps, a moral duty—to always seek our own happiness first. Unfortunately, selfishness isn’t very romantic. It’s a real relationship-killer.

We don’t have to let the blinders of modern culture keep us stuck on the me-me-treadmill. One of the best ways to recognize modern eccentricities is to compare and contrast them with the values of other times and eras. It isn’t that the past was necessarily superior, but that by looking through someone else’s eyes we can see our own attitudes in a new light.

An excellent way to do this is to read nineteenth-century etiquette and advice manuals. These authors—the self-help gurus of their day—pulled no punches in dry quips and spirited exhortations. The language is historic enough to be charming but modern enough to be easily understandable. Some of the values fit our own, and some challenge us to question our priorities. Here is a sampling of what advice gurus of the nineteenth century believed about love.

1. Romance Is About Finding Someone to Love for Life
Lydia Child, a nineteenth-century political activist and author of numerous popular advice manuals, favored marriage. In 1831, she pointed out, “The unchangeable laws of God have made reciprocated affection necessary to the human heart.” In 1890, a different author was a little more pointed: “A man who avoids matrimony on account of the cares of wedded life, cuts himself off from a great blessing for fear of a trifling annoyance. He rivals the wiseacre who secures himself against corns by having his legs amputated.” These writers didn’t just tell young people to buck up and get married. They also provided careful advice about the morals and etiquette of courtship, engagement, and matrimony.

2. Loving Feelings are Not Enough
The character of our prospective true-love is crucial. After all, as Richard A Wells argues, “No doubt there is such a thing as love at first sight, but love alone is a very uncertain foundation upon which to base marriage.” Child proposed three questions to ask before taking the plunge: “1st, Has the person good principles? 2d, Has he, or she, a good disposition? 3d, Is there a strong, decided, deeply-founded preference?”

3. Communicate Your Interest, But Don’t Be Creepy
In 1873, Cecil B. Hartley told suitors to pursue ladies but to avoid being creepy: “True courtship consists in a number of quiet, gentlemanly attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, not so vague as to be misunderstood. A clown will terrify by his boldness, a proud man chill by his reserve, but a gentleman will win by the happy mixture of the two.” Some years later, Frederick H. Martens acknowledged that “The suitor, generally speaking, ‘pays court’ to a girl; and the role is not supposed to be reversed, though it sometimes is in practice.”

4. Sit Up Straight
Hartley has a piece of practical advice for young men: “Lazy, lounging attitudes in the presence of ladies are very rude.”

5. Bring Flowers
Martens reminds would-be-lovers that “The gifts of courtship should be impersonal—flowers, candy, one’s photograph, books, and trifles associated with sports or other activities shared in common.” In return, young ladies should not abuse the system to acquire loot: “[A]ny girl of average intelligence is aware that [a stream of gifts from a young man] indicates more than a merely ‘friendly’ feeling on the giver’s part. Hence the first duty of the young woman…is to let him know–nor need it be in words–whether or not his attentions are acceptable.”

6. A Word on Getting Engaged
Etiquette manuals did not attempt to provide scripts for the actual proposal. Wells merely recommends that it be conducted in-person if at all possible, and points out that “The mode in which the avowal of love should be made, must of course, depend upon circumstances.” Martens has a word for the ladies: If a girl refuses a proposal of marriage, she must express polite regret, “not coupled with the banal promise that you will ‘be a sister’ to him.”

7. Skip the Triumphal Chains
We’ve all known girls who are annoying to be around right after they acquire a new boyfriend. This phenomenon is apparently nothing new, because a writer who dubbed herself “Daisy Eyebright” pointed out tartly, “And if you have accepted the addresses of a deserving man, do behave sensibly and honorably, and not lead him about as if in triumphal chains, nor take advantage of his love by playing with his feelings.” She also made it clear that although the gentleman should look after his lady, “he need not keep close to her side as though held there by an invisible wire.”

8. Watch Out for Too Much Control
No discussion of engagement would be complete without the reminder that it provides an opportunity to further evaluate the character of a prospective true-love. Wells states, “No lover will assume a domineering attitude over his future wife. If he does so, she will do well to escape from his thrall before she becomes his wife in reality. A domineering love will be certain to be still more domineering as a husband; and from all such the prayer of wise women is, ‘Good Lord, deliver us!’”

9. Build a Happy Marriage
Nineteenth-century advice manuals usually have much longer chapters about proper conduct in married life than they do about how to behave during the courtship phase. The advice might sound discordant to modern ears. It is so very gendered that, at first glance, it can appear unjust. Yet a closer read reveals that even if the members of the couple are not always told to do the same thing, the task of both is difficult. Both are supposed to give up their own desires and their own way.

10. Wives, No ‘My Way or the Highway’

Wells’ words are “…we beseech [wives] to avoid all bickerings. What does it signify where a picture hangs, or whether a rose or a pink looks best on the drawing-room table? There is something inexpressibly endearing in small concessions, in gracefully giving up a favorite opinion, or in yielding to the will of another; and equally painful is the reverse.”

11. Husbands, Listen to Your Wives
He doesn’t let husbands off the hook, though, either: “Wives generally have much more sense than their husbands, especially if the husbands are clever men. The wife’s advices are like the ballast that keeps the ship steady. They are like the wholesome, though painful shears snipping off the little growth of self-conceit and folly.”

12. Wives, Don’t Whine About Your Husbands to Others
In the words of Wells, “Confidants are dangerous persons.” Enough said.

13. Husband, Don’t Come Home Grumpy
Hartley has no patience for so-called gentleman who leaves his manners at the door: “The man who is a rude husband, son, and brother, cannot be a gentleman; he may ape the manners of one, but, wanting the refinement of heart that would make him courteous at home, his politeness is but a thin cloak to cover a rude, unpolished mind.” In 1858, another writer addressed himself to husbands who come home after a long day. The same advice could be equally well applied in the reverse to the stay-at-home mom who thinks her husband has it easy because he gets to escape all contact with toddlers by going to work.

[The husband] is apt to think that when he has been absent through the day, diligent in his work and harassed by the cares of business, his duty is done. He expects a ready and loving smile to welcome him, a warm and cordial greeting–and he should have it. But he must remember that the wife has had her cares too. If of a different character, they may be equally harassing. The wife has had her labor to perform as well, and when the night comes, she may be as weary too. Does she not deserve as much consideration and kindness? No toils of business and no cares of life should be allowed to come in to prevent that kind and grateful intercourse which makes up the good of life. The burden should be equally borne. The joy should be shared together, and the quiet rest of domestic life should belong to both alike.

14. Wives, Put on Some Makeup for Him
In the words of Wells, “Never let your husband have cause to complain that you are more agreeable abroad than at home; nor permit him to see in you an object of admiration as respects your dress and manners, when in company, while you are negligent of both in the domestic circle.”

15. Husbands, Buy Flowers (or Dark Chocolate)
Hartley doesn’t want husbands to stop bringing their wives little gifts. “These trivial tokens of regard certainly make much way in the affections of a woman of sense and discernment, who looks not to the value of the gifts she receives, but perceives in their frequency a continued evidence of the existence and ardor of that love on which the superstructure of her happiness has been erected. The strongest attachment will decline, if you receive it with diminished warmth.”

16. Pay Off Your Credit Cards Every Month
Debt is a problem in any era. Wells knows this: “Two things are essential to happiness in married life: first, to have a home of one’s own; and second, to establish it upon a scale as to live distinctly and clearly within one’s means; if possible, not quite up to them, and by no possibility beyond them.”

17. Learn How to Manage a House
It has become almost a cultural expectation that women perpetually bemoan the chaos of their home. This would not meet the approval of Woodbury, who insisted that ladies should possess the domestic skills needed to make such work easier and more manageable. “That mistress of a household, who is not thoroughly cognizant of what is called housekeeping, will find many a bitter trial for herself and her family. She. . . . becomes a mere drudge, if servants she has none. . . An ill-kept table, untimely meals and poorly cooked food, are as fatal to sentiment as to digestion.”

18. Go to Church Together
Wells does not approve of husbands who stay home on Sunday morning. “It seems unmanly, certainly most unkind, to let your young wife go to church on Sunday without you, for the common-place satisfaction of lounging at home.”

19. Learn Things Together
Period advice books defy the stereotype that nineteenth-century couples, denied the option of divorce, were expected to simply put up with each other. Instead, couples are urged to cultivate their relationship. Hartley even says, “Study some easy science together, and acquire a similarity of tastes, while you enjoy a community of pleasures. You will, by this means, have many pursuits in common, and be freed from the necessity of separating to find amusement; endeavor to cement the present union on every side.”

20. Make Love
Martens was writing in the 1920’s, chronologically later than most of these other authors, but at a time that was still largely in cultural sync with them. He declares that “The natural instinct of a man is to seek his mate. On her he depends for an orderly and lawful indulgence of his sex demands. The greatest longevity and best health are to be found among happily married fathers and mothers.”

He assumes that the husband will be the one most desirous of frequent love-making, but also points out that “The individual cravings of husband and wife must be reconciled by mutual good will and forebearance if they are to be happy.”

Phrases like “mutual good will and forebearance” tend not to be part of our modern lexicon when we talk about romantic love. Rather than forebear, at least extensively, we tend to leave. This makes it hard for true love to grow. Love is not primarily a feeling. It is a commitment. It is action. It is forgiving and sacrificing. If we hope to experience the tremendous joy of true love in our own lives, we ought to pay attention to our forbearers. They definitely knew something that our popular culture has forgotten.

1. So is it the masculine woman that you described in d part 2 that is right? Watching TV all night with feminist tendency, no tenderness or driving just for 10meters and becoming fat...is that the right standard for a woman?

2. Even the bible says a woman's long hair is her glory.

3. No perfect being anywhere but some ppl are nearer to "perfect" than others. When one is in courtship, there's what is called grooming...in fact the name bridegroom means to nurture, correct and train the bride. Its a stage every true relationship must go through. This grooming adds to the lags and cuts off excesses.

4. Everybody knows that only a woman who's willing to be groomed will submit herself for it.

5. Now consider it yourself, between the tender feminine woman and the feminist masculine woman, which one of them will be easily groomable?
1. Like I told a poster, I agree that a little of the characteristics are off putting and nobody will like anyone with such qualities. I don't like to be totally any of the women described. I am sure that men who watch TV all day and drive 10 meters apart are desirable either.

2. And same Bible says women should not wear clothes of men, people shouldn't draw tattoos, men shouldn't shave their beards, people shouldn't multiplant crops on a plot of land or build an altar with steps... My point, the fact that a woman keeps low cut and still be feminine afterall, African women don't even have long flowing silky hair.... does it mean we are not feminine? Does that decides to fix weaves have 'inferiority complex'

3. Well both parties like what's acceptable and unacceptable and adjust accordingly.

4. I agree

5. Depends on who is asking.

Bros is not about strength or weakling. And its not an abusive matter. Its d poverty of Nigeria DAT as made some women become breadwinners for themselves and their juniors even before they leave their parents house for marriage. The psychic effect is they become unconsciously dominant as they grow. The situation is so bad in Nigeria that one hardly sees a child that was well nurtured with care and financially by both parents... If there is then the situation described by d op is the right mindstate.

But its either 3 out of 8 children from polygamous homes had to go and live with grandmama in the village because of polygamous strife and poverty and there start learning how to make fufu and sell so that she will sponsor her education and by so doing all her muscles and confrontational habit will come out

Even you have be deluded as a nigerian that you don't know that what you read is the proper lifestyle of a woman if all things goes well in her upbringing.
So if I get you, a feminine woman should spend a lot of time in the bathroom, not drive, not work, be shy, avoid TV, loves shopping etc etc.

If you have a woman with the embodiment of all these characters, how in God's name will she be?

Anyways, different strokes for different folks.

Lmaoooo. Epic loser in life. Excuses, excuses, excuses.... blaming everyone for his failures but himself. This guy is a low life. This is why people need discernment. Going by his logic of feminine women, he must qualify as a manly man. Hahahaha.
I tried to read both articles with an open mind but......

He has tiny good points like cleanliness, vulgar language etc. however, these are qualities I expect from men and women.... I am sure a gentleman won't use vulgar words either.
