Sophyrocks: You didnt state it in their thread and that shows you are biased. anyways, have you counselled a woman who has gone through domestic violence before? Why do you ask? |

Sophyrocks: Thats commendable. you would amount to the very few people who practise it. Do you use the bible to counsel? Yes. The bible has answers to everything. |

Sophyrocks: I dnt have a problem with your question. I have a problem with the way you presented the post. You didnt present the thread for males that way. Did you accuse them of lagging behind in their use of 'weapons' to keep their marriages? No. But you did that here. Biased you are! I don't see any bias here. men also lag behind in their use of weapons. |

pickabeau1: ok
Greater love has no man than this than to lay down his life for his friend/wife/child etc Im glad you recognised this is a calling which all cannot strive to This is how it should be. a man should love his wife to the extent of being willing to lay down his life even when she does no deserve it. when a woman knows you love her this way, her response will be wow. it works for me. |

pickabeau1: Once again, i ask Why is it the man's duty to love unconditionally because Ephesians 5.25-28 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: |

Sophyrocks: That is not an answer. Im still waiting. Ephesians 5.22-28 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: |

Sophyrocks: Your created a thread and so you must be ready for constructive criticism and varying views different from yours. Its a good thing you know that the job of keeping a marriage lies with both a husband and a wife. My problem with your post is that you generalised without concrete knowledge of what you are saying. You still have not answered my earlier question so it shows you dnt have proof to deliberate on your stance. You are not in every home to know what kind of issues faced by all women in Nigeria. Marriage is damn too complex and multi faceted for you to narrow most issues to be caused by unsubmissivesness afterall men are not jesus. Just as our faces are different so also are our problems. I counsel people and I hear a lot abt marital problems. On this thread I am talking to just wives. I created another thread addressing just husbands. |

adanduka: Such women never know the worth of what they have; and they are constantly comparing themselves and their spouse with outsiders. Men too. You see a homely girl who adores her husband but the man would rather be with another girl hmmm so true. even at that the man should still love unconditionally. |

anthoniaz: Be submissive, pamper him(he likes it when I eat with him in d morning before he goes to work as early as 5:30am , I must be the one to wear him his socks, I must hug him before he leaves e.t.c), always do the things he likes, keep the house clean, cook good meals for him, treat your inlaws with love and respect (you must treat him with respect too )  you dey try. |

Sophyrocks: Keeping homes or keeping marriages? Is it just the wives that are responsible for keeping marriages? you go like quarrel pass food o. homes and marriages are the same in this context. its not the sole responsibility of one party to keep the home,true. But it pays if each partner sees it as his or her sole responsibility. note: this thread is just talking about wives. |

pickabeau1: Exactly what i was thinking about Love is more of a shield to protect
Lateralmaths In maths there is something called equivalence Unconditional love is not one person's sole responsibility I am talking to just husbands here.Its not easy sha to just ignore someone's weakness while loving unconditionally. But every wife deserves that from her husband. Its not easy but it works. BTW are you a mathematician? |

Sophyrocks: A wife's greatest weapon? Are women now soldiers fighting imaginary wars? So if women have weapons do men have weapons too? Weapon could also mean asset. We are not talking of weapons of war but weapons for building and keeping homes. |

Women respond to love. I think a husband's greatest weapon is unconditional love. Love her unconditionally in all things and you will see your wife blossom into a better woman than the woman of your dreams.

I think the reason most wives have issues in their marriages is because they don't put to use their greatest weapon.
A wife's greatest weapon is stooping to conquer. It sounds foolish but that's the truth. Men have ego and the solution to that is stooping to conquer. A man responds to a submissive woman.
Find the secrets of wives whose husbands listen to them.You will find out that such wives understand this mystery.

In our society we see the dominant male figure in a family as the father. Being a father and being a husband is more than being a married male whose sperm fertilized a woman's eggs. In other words being male is not what makes you a man (father ,husband) in the family. Other male animals also impregnate their females. A husband and a father is one who knows the role of a man in the family and functions in that role.
