acetylcholine: I hope you won't come here to create a thread on how your wife leaves the home dirty like a thread I came across days ago. Her attitude towards chores may be worse once you guys get married or she gets pregnant.
All her qualities you highlighted are good but not enough. A woman must be homely and a good home maker and cooking, doing dishes and house chores isn't left out. Whatever happened to breakfast like tea & bread, even Noddles? If she can't wash dishes for the both of you, what will happen when you have like two children,and you know kids eat intermittently?
If you feel you can shoulder the responsibility of cooking and doing chores (which shouldn't be your primary duty) even in marriage, good for you, but know it's an abberation!
You better sit her down and talk to her, if you embrace this nonsense attitude all in the name of my mama trained me to do chores, trust me you will get tired of it, especially in marriage!
Hello ACH? Pls could you help with some of the qualities you feel is basic for a wife? (Would be much appreciated)
Would also love to speak to beyond here if you're okay with it.
Honestly speaking am really worried, have dated my fiance for sometime now. So we finally decided to tie the knot. She suggested we do it this year November and I concurred, so we've been saving towards it ever since.
Last 2 months I made my intentions known to her family, that I will like to marry their daughter. Due to the conversations I had With her parents, I told them I wanted it small.. because am not financialy buoyant.
But To my surprise, her dad said I shouldn't worry about it, they are going to support me ( which is most likely Normal)
(They gave me traditional rite's, which I sorted out by myself)
With the traditional right drawing close, last month I learnt from my fiancee..her parents are planning to buy 2 cow for the traditional and white wedding. (I was surprised)
The following week, the hall she choosed for the reception of the white wedding, has already been paid for by her dad which was about 500k excluding the decorations which they also took care of ( even though I opted we could have done the reception in the church)
But my fiancee told me her dad is inviting alot of well-wishers home and abroad to come celebrate with us.both his fellow staffs and all.
* I bought 2 bag of rice and groundnut oils
* We paid for the cakes
* We paid for drinks
* We sorted things out (invitation cards, pre shoot photos)
But was surprised 2 days to the traditional marriage, more expensive drinks were rolling in.
On the d day of the white wedding, I realised, they cooked more than 8 bags of rice ( coconut, jollof, banga and fried) meats were surplused. Alot of people came from her family's, while my own families were just there.. they did get the message.
Someone even said it to my mom face. THAT THIS GIRL PAPA TRY O.
please, I don't want to sound like am a bad person or I don't know good. Offcus I appreciate her parents efforts, but am just a little bit worried.
As a man, won't this come to haunt me in the future?
My brother just relax. As long as you paid all the traditional rites with your money, the rest are secondary. That is the original marriage the rest is beautification. Enjoy your marriage bro.
In his remarks, BNG self-acclaimed leader, General Innocent Orji said: "We have re-declared the sovereignty of the Biafra nation; we have hoisted our flag. I and my men will defend Biafra with the last drop of our blood no matter what.
"We will be going out to defend our nation and boundaries, we are not afraid of the soldiers. We must do the needful.
The support of the people will help us to save more lives.
"This is not 1967, we have our strategies. We won’t tell the people what we are going to do. Nigerian soldiers can never defeat us."

God have mercy on you. You don't know life is beyond typing on nairaland. We must be careful of what we say because what goes around, comes around in many ways
