FamilyRe: Early marriage advantages {for Women And Men} Must Read by Familyfirst: 10:19pm On Dec 01, 2016
nairalanddss:
Getting married early comes with its share of advantages. Early marriages, which were at a time rare, have started becoming common now. Starting your life early with that one person can be quite a challenge for a lot of young boys and girls. However, when you tie the knot early, there are several advantages that is beneficial to the individuals as well as for the couples.Having a good sexual rapport with your partner, learning a lot of practical things in life and taking time to have kids are some of the advantages of getting married early. When you get married late or at the nick of time, planning a future together happens at a fast pace. But, early marriages aren’t this way, which is why it is better.Modern couples prefer to tie the knot soon after the approval of parents.Here are some advantages og getting married early.



Early getting married advantages are:

1.Easy To Adjust With Partner: Younger people adapt easily to changing environments since it is easier for them to break bad habits as compared to people who are older in age.

2.You Are More Fertile: After the age of 35 years, you become less fertile. Women who get pregnant after this age face numerous pregnancy problems. Therefore, getting married early saves you from this trouble.

3.More Time With Partner: You get to spend more time with your partner when you get married early. Settling for an early marriage also helps you to know your in-laws better.

4.Get To Fulfill Your Dreams: People think that marriage puts a stop to fulfilling one’s dreams. But, if you find the right partner, one who understands your needs and goals, it is better off to get married early.

5.More Time For Lovemaking: There is more time for lovemaking when you marry early. This is one of the main advantages of getting married early. It is at this age where you also get the time and energy to try out new positions to please your partner in the bedroom.

6.Look Younger For Longer: When you get married at an early age, people will soon start to compliment you on your looks. This is one of the advantages of getting married early.

7.Brings Out The Maturity: Getting married young brings out the responsibility and maturity in you. Both the wife and husband become more mature and responsible and settle into their roles easily as life moves on.

8.Be Energetic Parents: Marrying young also has the benefit of having children early, making it easier for the couple to raise them since they themselves will be young and full of energy and will be able to relate to their children more.

These are the advantages of getting married early.

….. Are you becoming an addict who cannot stop thinking about or having sex? This is how it can affect you.
I am a recently married woman and my husband wants to have sex all the time, even if I am not interested. I have said no at several occasions but that has really made him angry. I think he is a sex addict and I want to help him deal with the problem. Could you tell me more on this and whether too much sex can have any side-effects?
Sex is no doubt one of the most pleasurable activities but can too much of it have side-effects on your health? Who decides how much is too much? What makes one a sex addict?

RomanceRe: 7 Reasons Why Guys Are Reluctant To Commit!!! Come In And Testify by Familyfirst: 2:20pm On Nov 05, 2016
importexpert:
The fact that guys are usually afraid to commit are due to several reasons. Women always want to know why guys are reluctant to commit to a long term relationship or to marriage. These reasons listed below will give you an idea as to why they have fears of tying the knot!


1. He does not want to lose his identity

If you are the pushy and demanding type then he could be afraid that once he commits to you, he will slowly but surely change into the type of person you want him to be. He is afraid of losing his own identity and changing into a lapdog who has to do everything to please you. This could prove very scary for a guy and therefore he is reluctant to make any sort of commitment.

2. He is confused as to what your feelings are for him

If you have not really been forthright and clear about your feelings towards him, then he will be cautious about making a commitment to you. The smallest doubt about you and your feelings will make him reluctant to take a step towards commitment. Only when he knows for sure that you reciprocate his feelings will he turn bold and take the initiative!

3. He hates the thought of being tied down

Most men have a morbid fear of being tied down to one woman all their life! These men are the types that want to enjoy dating different women before they make up their mind. They are generally those who are concentrating on just having a good time instead of being serious and thinking of the future. i know many Nairalanders in this category but i will allow seun and other audience to list the "soup testers" grin grin grin grin

4. He is not sure that you are the right woman for him

There could be a hundred reasons why he has certain doubts as to whether you are the ideal woman for him. He will never make a commitment unless and until he is convinced in his heart that you are the right one for him. Even though he has been dating you all this while, he could feel that there is something missing in the relationship and hence is not ready for commitment.

5. He is terrified of the financial responsibility involved

The very fact that commitment means a whole lot of new responsibilities make men nervous and reluctant to take a step in that direction. In case he is not really financially secure and feels that he will not be able to provide for his wife and family in the near future, he will not be able to commit.

6. He thinks that you have too high expectations

There is no way he is going to commit if you have been setting the standards too high or been having too many high expectations where he is concerned. See if you are the type of woman who has been very demanding, critical and a stickler for perfection in every thing. He is obviously scared of falling short!

7. He is unsure and insecure

If the guy is aware of his faults, failures and shortcomings, then he could become insecure and afraid of facing the future. He will naturally become less confident of being a success and making the relationship ideal. This insecurity will prove to be a huge blockage where commitment is concerned.


8. Add yours
instead of failing to commit. I think every man should know what to do before marriage. Mae sure your guy read this.

FamilyRe: 8 Things Every Man Should Know How To Do by Familyfirst: 1:13am On Nov 04, 2016
Principe:
1) TO KNOT TIE: Every man should know how to knot a tie. Some men find it difficult to knot tie. I have seen men walk the whole street looking for who to help them knot a tie.
It is very easy, there are many types and many online tutorials on how to knot them.

2) SHAVE: Every man should endeavor to have a personal clipper, and should also know how to shave and and also know how to get his hair cut.
Sometimes we may get busy during the weekend or forgot to shave only to wake up monday morning and realize that we didn't shave. We can simply shave before leaving for work.

3)HOW TO FIX HOME APPLIANCES: Every man should know how to fix simple home appliances such as how to change electrical sucket, light bulbs, change generator plug, assemble electric fan,hang tv, etc.

4) HOW TO HANDLE SIMPLE TOOLS: Men should learn how to handle tools like hammer, saw blade,brush.Most of the things we call artisans to fix can be fixed if we learn how to use and handle these tools. Every man should have a tool box.

5)HOW TO DRIVE: Every man should know how to drive, do not wait wait until you have your own car,learn how to drive both manual and automatic transmission cars.
This can be very useful in event of emergency.

6) PERFORM BASIC FIRST AID: You don't have to be a doctor,nurse or health practictoneer to know how to perform basic first aid.

7) PAINT A ROOM: One must not paint the whole house, most people like to repaint their house especially when they move into a new apartment. You can save cost by painting your rooms.



cool CARRY A BABY: Every man should know how to carry a baby. you can help your spouse with the baby. It is not 'a woman thing'.

RomanceRe: The Different Ages Of Unmarried Ladies And The Way They See Romance. by Familyfirst: 11:49am On Oct 21, 2016
Toks2008:
This does not apply in every case but this holds true in most cases.

[size=13pt]1.Age 18 to 23: [/size]
This set of ladies still believe in the Romeo and Juliet type of love.They don't consider money as a factor for love and when they love they do fall deep in love because they tend to be highly irrational at this stage of their lives and will not even mind eloping with you. Ironically they usually frolic with guys of very close age proximity as they are more at ease with guys of close age gaps.At this age,they still get wowed by a guy with 6packs and will gladly dump a rich dude for a man they desire. Don't ever discuss marriage with this set of ladies but they are ready to explore with you and have flings without serious commitment.

[size=13pt]2.Age 24 to 29: [/size]
At this stage, the reality of life begins to set in as many ladies in this group are either graduates of tertiary institutions or of a tech school. At this stage, they are beginning to realize that love is not enough and the harsh reality of life will make them have a rethink when they see a super hot drop dead gorgeous broke guy approach them. While this set of ladies still desire good physical attributes in a man,6packs and cuteness is no longer a must have for the guy that is ready to win their heart but the guy should show them his readiness to help them with some financial burden especially those from not so rich background.Marriage to them is something to think about without so much desperation.Guys who have nurtured romance with this set of ladies from their earlier ages stands the risk of losing them to other guys if they don't measure up to their new perspective of romance.

[size=13pt]3.Age 30 to 40:[/size]
This is the age group many ladies don't wish to be and still be unmarried. Most ladies in this age group will try to hide their desperation but deep inside, they really want a man to be their significant other. At this stage they really do not place any emphasis on money or even love but just to have a man to settle down in matrimony with. Do not go near this set if you are not ready for a purposeful affair. This set of ladies have grown in wisdom and you will hardly hear them talk about wanting a tall,cute....but at this stage, a GOD fearing man with a vision who is ready to settle down is their choice.Unlike their younger counterpart,this set of ladies are ready to build a life with a man.

[size=13pt]4.Age 41 and above:[/size]
Your guess is as good as mine.

FamilyRe: 30 Habits That Show Poor Parenting. by Familyfirst: 10:08pm On Oct 20, 2016
cindyrocks:
Dear parents,
HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING IN CHILDREN
Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends on yourself or the young ones you are caring for.
Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if the parents are at the top of their career.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, money or the "who you know" factor.
1) Going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again.
2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.
3) Cursing, using foul words or swearing in front of your children.
4) Using makeup on children.
5) Dressing indecently for children (they loose the sense of their princesshood).
6) Putting earrings on your son's ears.
7) Your child hold the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.
cool Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. ( You will be blamed for it)
9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.
10) Your children bring home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. ( that is the beginning of stealing)
11) They talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century mummy. ( You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined )
12) They interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners)
13) They exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. ( that is bad parenting)
14) They say things like "my driver is on his way..."
I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother, calling them by name when they are not young people is not poise either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.
15) Your children don't say- 'Thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting)
16) When your children cannot stand children who are less privileged.
18) When they pick their nose with their hands.
19) When they don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom.
20) When your children take something from the fridge without taking permission. (Bad parenting)
21) When your children don't knock on closed doors.
22) When your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you brought in as you walk in through the door.
23) When your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task. (That is disgraceful )
24) When your children act like their grand parents irritate them.
25) When your children have not learnt to get up from the chair for the elderly or visitors to sit.
26) When your child tells a lot of lies. (You will both cry in the future)
27) When your child asks "who is that?" at a knock on your door instead of "please, who is there."
28) When your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc.
29) When your children still point their fingers at other people.
30) When your children play and jump around when prayers are going on.(age 4 above). Dont be a 21st Century parent who cannot correct a child. Train your child in the way of the Lord so that when he grows up he will not depart frm it. IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM, IF NOT YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY WITH BAD AND TERRIBLE BEHAVIOURS
Pls circulate to all parents and grandparents that are on your contact list to assure us all a better future. God bless you.
This is a very good, how I wish all parents can read this.
I got this recently,it bless me,I know it will bless you to raise children that will not cause you tears.

RomanceRe: 3 Types Of Men You Should Avoid As A Woman by Familyfirst: 10:52pm On Oct 18, 2016
Livehealthy4goo:
By Jovia D'Souza

Every woman deserves the best man out there. When you are in the dating scene, you need to avoid men that might waste your time and in the process hurt you. Here are some of these men:

Narcissist

A narcissistic man is a man who thinks that he is better than everyone else. He feels that he is the best creation ever made by God. While dating experts will tell you that you shouldn't date a man that isn't confident of himself, you shouldn't touch a narcissistic man. While he will project confidence, he isn't the right one for you. Such a man always talks about himself. He will say how attractive, intelligent, and a host of other self-appraisal things. In some cases, he will try to belittle you.



To tell that you are dating a narcissist you need to listen to him talk. You should also take a look at his social media accounts. If the accounts are a collection of selfies with celebrities and people that are deemed high in society, you should run for the hills. It's only a matter of time before he starts feeling that he can do better than you and start looking for your replacement.

Married man

If you have been in the dating scene for some time, you must have come across plenty of men posing as single while they aren't. These men are just trying to take advantage of you and waste your time in the process. The most obvious giveaway sign that a man is married is if he has two cell phones. Another sign is if he is available only when he wants to or only available at odd times of the day. A married man also will never want you to visit his place. If you come across such a person, don't waste your time with him-unless you are looking for a relationship that isn't heading anywhere.

A player

Players are usually hard to pick as most of them are able to hide too well. While this is the case, you can be able to identify one if you are keen enough. A clear sign is if he flirts with every woman that he comes across. Another sign is if he makes plans the last minute. The reason for this is because he was waiting for another woman to confirm. If the other woman doesn't confirm, he comes to you. Such a man is a pure waste of time and you shouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole.



Conclusion

These are the main types of men that you shouldn't waste your time with. It's often said that you kiss 1000 frogs before you get to your prince. Even when you meet one undesirable man after another, you shouldn't give up on it. There are plenty of them out there. You only need to keep on meeting them and you will definitely meet the prince of your heart.

FamilyRe: I Don't Feel Attracted To My Wife Anymore by Familyfirst: 10:32pm On Oct 18, 2016
kunleajaye:
Next week will be the fifth year anniversary of the day my wife and I tied the knot. It hasn’t really been smooth sailing and many people feel marriage is all about a fairy tale, a handsome hunk sweeping the fair damsel off her feet and riding off into the sunset to live “happily ever after”. From my experience, marriage is anything but.

A year after our wedding, my wife lost her mother on that ill-fated Dana plane crash. She was barely into her first month of pregnancy and she almost lost the baby. God knows how much we all tried to hold things together for her and her younger ones as she automatically became the mother figure to her younger ones. A few months later, into her 8th month of pregnancy, we both left the shores of Nigeria to the US as I had accepted an admission for graduate studies.

Fast forward to today, we have three lovely kids, a girl (the first) and two twin boys. Unfortunately for me though, I seem to have lost some of the affection I had in the past for my wife. In clearer terms, I fear I don’t find my wife attractive anymore.

As I mentioned earlier, things aren’t as smooth as one would expect. We all know, especially those who live here in the States, that working as an International student is hard. You can hardly find companies that want to hire foreigners, especially in the IT field I’m in. I sometimes wonder how I would pay for rent, utilities, daycare, and even food at the beginning of each month. Rent alone takes away all my meager salary. My wife first of all started out by purchasing and sending baby clothes and other stuff home to Nigeria, but with the “receive today, pay tomorrow” attitude of people at home, coupled with the whole decline of the naira, the business has literally been ruined with so many bills to pay. Luckily she also started school on a tuition-only scholarship, so we have to take the kids to the day-care almost everyday, which is an additional strain to the meager pay I receive.

I don’t want to assume it is my feelings for her reducing, but these days I almost always catch myself staring at her in forlorn. I don’t see the beautiful girl I married during the first few years of my marriage. I want to assume it is the stress of all this, coupled with my school work, but these days any little thing she does annoys me. She doesn’t help matters either and sometimes we shout at each other or argue over the most trivial of things. For the past couple of months we’ve not slept in the same room. She prefers to sleep with our daughter while I sleep with the boys in the other room. Anytime I want us to be together, she’ll complain that the kids are too young to sleep alone. I accepted that argument when we first had the boys but they are almost three now. I sometimes have to carry them to their room so that she will “agree” to stay with me, and that is sometimes with great reluctance.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love my wife. I just fear I don’t find her attractive anymore. The other night she told me our sex life has really dwindled and I out rightly told her it was her fault. She said she knows and she’ll try being better but till date I’ve not seen any improvement. She’ll complain of being tired or a headache anytime I want to initiate anything, only to plead with me the following morning. There was a day she just lay there like a log of wood, indirectly telling me to do what I want to do and be done with it. I got so angry that I didn’t know when I started yelling on her. She didn’t even respond and turned to face the wall. I left her alone in bed and slept on the couch that night.

I want to believe it’s the stress of work, school, and the many thoughts going through our minds that is causing all this, but I don’t want to wake up one day and realize I don’t love my wife anymore. I don't want a situation where all this will split our family apart and suffer the little ones. cry
create time to take your wife out,go on vacation with her,you will need to revive the love you quench with your inactivity and busyness,it is not devil that hurts your family life,romance and sex life but you. Do something before those that value your wife begin to sleep with her. I will advise you to visit www.familyparliament.com for more wisdom to handle family life.

FamilyRe: Her Mother Inlaw Wants To Move In Permanently by Familyfirst: 6:26pm On Oct 18, 2016
Loisemm:
How many of you would not mind your mother Inlaw who just retired and is not sick or needing medical attention come and live with you and hubby permanently?!
My friend's mother Inlaw is planning to do this. My friend is not comfortable with it at all but has resigned her mind to it.

The mother Inlaw often visits them and spends weeks and months with them even though she does not get along with the wife. The wife told me the mama never wanted her first son to marry and would have preferred he continues to bear children outside wedlock. He had a child before marriage. They have children of theirs now.

Sincerely, I can't undastand the rationale behind a mother moving into her son's house without invitation or permission. Is it fair?

Note -she has a married daughter o. Is it not better for her to live with her daughter if her and her daughter in-law dont get along? This lady now has strong cause to believe the mama is out to break her home. Would she now be receptive to her coming to live with them permanently?
If she has agreed to it,complaining is not what is needed now but to seek wisdom and pray.
Mothers in laws that do not want their sons to get married are doing it for commercial sake,they want to control the man and his bank account. Fighting your husband will not win his mother,mama will be too happy to see you fight.
Seek wisdom. Get books,attend marriage school. I will advise you to be part of online family and relationship forum like familyparliament.com
FamilyRe: Nairaland Parents , Do You Agree With This ? by Familyfirst: 8:06am On Oct 16, 2016
KingEbukasBlog:
Why don't you agree totally ?
Parenting has stages,parents are like driving instructors,there are times to hold the steering when your driving student watch,another time both of you will have to hold the steering together,then you need to allow the learner driver drive while you sit beside him and watch to guide,a time will come when you will need to get down from the car while the learners drive drives relying on what he had leant and road signs.
Parenting is like this,if you let go a Child at the wrong time,the Child will hurt himself,if you hold unto a Child when you suppose to let go,you will hurt your relationship with the child,so wisdom is needed.

FamilyRe: Is Your Wife's Money 'her' Money And Yours 'our' Money?. by Familyfirst: 7:13pm On Oct 11, 2016
Benita27:
This was a question put forward by my pastor to his married congregation, but i was amazed that views were divergent in regards to it.

1st speaker as she was given the microphone.
"My husband is rich, i have a personal business i run but from feeding, school fees, allowances, my hair do to clothing, he foots the bills, have never spent my personal earnings in the course of my home beside buying snackes for my kids, so my money is mine while his money is ours".
After she spoke her husband was given the floor, and he said his wife's money is hers while his money is their money. grin I liked the couple.

3nd speaker, wasn't married yet but was of the opinion that both first and second speakers had the wrong mentality,"There's nothing like his wife's money being hers while his money is ours, to him it's a 50/50 thing in the marriage if both of them were working".

Last speaker said "It's my duty to take care of my family but in situations where i'm incapacitated, then my wife can assist, i still make effort to pay her back borrowed money from her, because her money is hers and my money is ours".

Well, the questions where two in one and it goes this way:
Is Your Wife's Money Hers, and Yours Our Money?.
Should Couples Operate A Joint Account?.




Money in the family should be for all,we should not allow separate us.

HealthRe: Help Before I Kill Myself. Body Odour Has Turned Me To A Recluse. by Familyfirst: 3:39am On Oct 08, 2016
mikemikoo2:
Hello all. I had to create a new account for this just so I wont get laughed at. Ive been battling with body odour for about 2 years now. It has defied all physical measures such as hygiene and deodorants. Ive tried damn near all deodorants I can find in the store. Ive also tried things like lime, lemon, vinegar, baking soda and the likes. I dont even perspire much but when I put on any anti perspirant, I get smelly in no time without sweating. I think the culprit is my underarm but I shave all the time and wash up properly. I went to the hospital and took blood tests and everything came out normal‎. 

I have decided to try traditional means such as iya alagbon and the likes as I hear some of them are very good. Please help recommend any solution apart from hygiene and shaving. Please I beg, this thing has put my life on a stand still as I cant mingle and move about freely without people rubbing their noses and making faces at me. It has made me suicidal. Who wouldve thought id end up with such issues?

Also please if u know any good traditional specialist in things like this, kindly let me know. Im in lagos.

Lalasticlala kindly move this to the front page so I can get varied suggestions please or else I just might end up as the next rip on social media. These days I am sad all the time and find it very hard to go out. Thanks for ur help‎
you can't really get cured of body odor with drugs which your Doctor will prescribe,it can reduce it,but not really deal with it. It may have to do with many things. Your diet,hormonal imabalance,lifestyles etc.
I got this on familyparliament.com it has helped many people it will help you. Please tell others as am telling you. Click here: http://familyparliament.com/Thread/17-natural-ways-to-stop-body-odor/
FamilyRe: My Serial Cheating Husband Keeps Begging For Forgiveness by Familyfirst: 4:14pm On Oct 06, 2016
napa:
We've been married for five years and he has cheated all through these years. He keeps late nights without any tangible reason. He travels in and out of Nigeria for the purpose of meeting different women, he chats dirty with different women. He calls random women at home e.t.c. He is also very quick to apologise and promise to turn a new leaf anytime I confront him with evidences.
The issue here is I'm getting really fed up of his kind of life style, I feel he is taking me for granted and just playing on my emotions because he knows there is nothing I can do after his apologies. He too relaxed with me and feels he can do anything and get away with it. I work and he does too but he knows I live a triangular kind of life. From work back home then to church, I'm more of a homely person. I'm beginning to think it's my fault for him not getting on his toes. I don't intend reporting him to any of his family members because he won't be chastised.

I need candid and matured advice please.
you will need to face him to have a frank talk about it let him know how he is hurting you and let him know it is beyond apology but a change of lifestyle. I saw cases like this on familyparliament.com
FamilyRe: My Parents Are Against Me Getting Married by Familyfirst: 11:44pm On Oct 05, 2016
LekinsRibirth:
I'm currently on a crossroad and I really need your cordial insights on this issue.
I graduated two years ago and I'm currently 25years old and God has been extremely so good to me.
I was recently able to secure a job in a multinational firm and I receive a very good pay.
I've been able to put a lot of things in order and I feel I'm ready to settle down.
I proposed marriage to my girlfriend who is currently 23 and she accepted. our families have been friends even before we were born. myself and her grew up together and we are literally best friends( we've officially been dating for the past 4years).
I've stated my intentions to my parents and hers but they both disagreed .They said we're too young to start a family and we should wait for a minimum of 4 to 5 years .
I'll be travelling out of the country next year with my company to start an off-shore business unit and I planned to get married to her by December and take her along with me.
I really don't know what to do as my family has become my enemy in this issue.
They threatened not to give me their blessings and never to accept money from me if I go ahead with my plans.
At 25,working, you are not too young to get married ask your parents whether they have some other reasons apart from age.
May be you visit familyparliament.com forum to get deep answers to marriage problems.

FamilyRe: Why Are Nigerian Mother In-laws Too Mean Towards Their Daughter In-laws?. by Familyfirst: 4:47pm On Oct 05, 2016
Benita27:
I noticed 80% of our Nigerian mother in-laws threat their daughter in-laws badly unlike their foreign counterparts, and this trend is so common,once a man says he wants to take you to see his parents instead of excitement a certain fear creeps in.
personally i'm not scared of meeting the man's father because i assume father's trust their sons to have made the right choices, but for the mothers is not usually the same, was able to ask someone if she felt same and she confessed feeling worse. grin
Why are our Nigerian mother in-laws so mean?.
Need your contributions, and Ladies how do you feel when getting to meet them?.
