Family / Get The Perfect Man: Why Lots Of Women Do Not Get The Man That They Need! by Ohidata: 9:41am On Jul 24, 2021
The journey of finding a man that best suits you as a woman starts way before you begin your search – from your developmental stages of life to early adulthood to mature woman and eventually advanced womanhood, it could be very tasking, yet rewarding. Understanding yourself emotionally and psychologically leads to better knowledge of what you need, hence what you want may be counter-productive to you as a woman. The saying goes: people do not know what they want, I beg to differ; they do, with some exceptions of course. What most people do not know is what they need. What they want is their desire, it may or may not be good for them, but what they need is what would complement them and help them grow in many facets of their being. It is then pertinent to know what is waiting for you out there of the form of men. A good knowledge of the variety of men is x-rayed to help you in your decision of choosing a man.
Relationships are hard work and going into one without knowing this is like driving against traffic on a freeway and disregarding the oncoming vehicles, accidents are imminent. You at one point or the other will have to deal with pressure from family, friends and society if you happen to have been single for an extended period or your biological clock is ticking, and you cannot seem to land a man that is willing and ready to tie the knot with you – not to speak of the self-induced pressures due to similar reasons listed. Your values and beliefs would undoubtedly go in no small way to shape what your choices of men would be – pay attention to your inner self. Remember, rules apply, but there are exceptions to every rule. What do you do when no one seems to understand you? Do not say you are tired of men because all men are the same? They are not. Diamonds are not easy to find, and even when they are eventually found, there is a process of refining it into what you want – customize your man for yourself. This is a journey so interesting yet critical, take it seriously because your choice of man could make or mar you.
Draw strength from the knowledge that there are couples out there who have been together for decades and continue to love each other through all the trials and hurt that they have experienced.
Come on this journey of discovering how to get that man....follow the link!

Romance / Re: Why Is It That Women In Their 30s Claim No Sex Till Marriage? by Ohidata: 7:37pm On May 05, 2019
How about we talk outside this platform. I believe you being shy is irrelevant since I've made the first contact.

Learnt from your advice, but that your number 2 what happens to us that are shy and introverted how do we look more approachable sad
Romance / Re: Why Is It That Women In Their 30s Claim No Sex Till Marriage? by Ohidata: 2:10pm On May 05, 2019
I really agree with you on all your points. Can we chat privately? I'd like to get to know you.

SBL28:
Have you guys considered the fact that maybe the woman is truly after God's heart.

I have only been in one relationship and with a body count of one, so its not about tasting all sorts and then pretending just to trap a guy. I'm still in my 20s and I have been celibate since my marriage ended for few reasons;

1) I'm not a Bible-clutching Christian but I'm closer to my God now and I like how I can go to church and raise my hands in praises without feeling like a fraud. I'm not messing with my peace of mind biko. I used to feel guilty about fornication before I got married.

2) I have not tried it before but I am not sure I can have sex with someone I'm not in love with. I personally don't think it's something to be casual about.

3) Ladies in their 30s and single mothers are easy targets for lecherous men who think they are desperate. They are only interested in 'hit and run', so don't blame the women for not 'putting out', they have learnt the hard way. My yeye married neighbor wanted to try it with me, I shut the shit down and blocked the he-goat on every platform. angry

In conclusion, ladies say 'no sex' for so many reasons. It is not a do or die affair, if you are not comfortable with it, simply move on!!!


Lastly, I don't intend to end up with anyone eventually without testing the engine (Lord forgive me cry ) even if na only once before marriage, I should know exactly the type of instrument I'm 'acquiring'. Man pikin cannot go and enter one chance. grin

My dear, the things that have happen to and around you are indeed daunting. Whenever you feel lost as a person and disconnected from everything and everyone, you'll definitely feel peace and calm if you seek God out and try to connect with him. He created you and won't let you down. Everything would be well my sister. Take care of yourself and please never try to take your own life.


HaileSelassie:
2018 has been a roller coaster year for me.. Got a job around Feb immediately after service.. Obviously oblivious of how office politics is played, I got booted out some four months later.

Only to discover that the girl I had built my dreams with was only leveraging on me and cheating all d time. Attended a record 15 interviews after being relived no show... Gosh!

I lost interest in life itself.. I lost interest in developing relationships, Backstabbing friends, selfish FAM, mom remarrying just a year after dads death, losing that family love I once enjoyed as a last born, mehn I slipped into depression...

I long lost interest in My dear Arsenal football club, getting to watch again after Emery's appointment. Lost interest in sex, lol my libido used to be up above d clouds, lost interest in my web development tutorials..

I had fixed q date to commit suicide sef, just hung on and finally opened up to my elder bro. Who admonished me not to give up!



D only thing safeguarding my sanity is working out.. Venting the frustrations on those iron bars.. I lost fat and built up muscles.

Well still haven't gotten a Job, the interviews keep coming had one on Friday, and another comes up on Wednesday, not giving up yet.. I might have Lost a great deal of my vibe, but I am getting back to my real self

Still got bouts of depression now and then, but I know it will be over soon.. Amen

Romance / Re: Nigerian Men Abroad, How Did You Choose Your Significant Half? by Ohidata: 4:31pm On Mar 13, 2019
I've read quite a lot of comments and the truth of the matter is that man (man & woman) is the primary cause of his own problems in most cases. What is the average body count of a single guy of marriage age - some have even lost count of the number of ladies they've slept with after the deception of marriage. How many women have scammed men of their hard earned money - putting the lady through school, catering for her material needs, etc only for the woman to turn around to say the guy is not her level when she's done using him? Guys and ladies alike usually don't consider the short and long term repercussions of their actions towards people. Christians/Muslims read your Bible/Qur'an and see examples of people and their children suffering for their ill-treatment of others.
If you are in this category, you have to seek forgiveness.

Now, If you want to marry, it is simple. Study your intended partner - yes, people pretend (both guys and ladies alike) but we don't catch the person's behaviours because we are not attentive to detail in this age and time. Most people on dates or "alone time" with their boyfriends/girlfriends spend most of the time on their cell phones. How do you want to catch the silent details the person is showing? Even in marriages, cell phones have been described as the thing that gets the most attention between couples and the the source of most problems. Pay attention and you would notice those details you are or aren't looking for - weather or not you act on the info is a different thing. I can spend 1 hour with a lady and get so much info about her that it's scary even for me sometimes. In all of these, don't underestimate the role of God - hand your search over to HIM even as you are making your moves.

Another thing is the men, if you think you want to marry a woman who will be like a slave and not bate an eyelash even when you hurt/wrong her while using her as a slave, then you don't know what's coming your way - women are wiser and more empowered now. Those are the same kinda men that would want to tear to pieces men that do similar to their sisters, nieces, cousins, etc. You must love yourself as a man and in doing so, love your wife. In this love don't do things that you know would hurt her. For instance don't cheat on her no matter what - we all know women have their issues, so do men. Correct your wife with love and not with harsh words. What you wouldn't accept in marriage, make it clear during your courtship. Study a woman well before marrying her. If you genuinely love your wife you would naturally want to help her out with stuff she's doing around the house - this makes you more a man and not less like most men believe. Never, ever beat a woman, no matter the provocation - walk away and cool off. Tell her with love later on and if she's a good woman, she'll be remorseful and apologise. Don't force yourself on her sexually, she's not a machine. Women need love, care and attention. From my understanding childbirth and homemaking usually takes a heavy toll on women, so show them appreciation - they are usually tired after all the chores and just want to rest. Imagine a full time "sex machine", mother, cook, nanny, daughter-in-law, daughter and wife all in one female. Try playing all these roles as a man and you'll know that "khakhi no be leather". Compliment her; teach her if she's a bad cook and don't make fun of her (at least you knew she couldn't cook before marrying her); don't yell at her, especially in public; confide in her; gist with her; do things together and make effort to enjoy her company and allow her enjoy yours. Remember those dates that matter to her - anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Show that her opinion is important to you.

And to the ladies, not all that glitters is gold. I know the country is unbearably hard but b'cos a man is well-to-do doesn't mean he's good for you, depending on his personality. Study a man, make sure he is not violent/abusive - there are usually signs but you just choose to ignore, especially if he's ok financially. Don't make him feel you are with him primarily for the financial gains. You don't necessarily have to challenge his ideas or authority most times, there are more subtle ways of getting what you want. Most men are not used to doing chores, stylishly introduce them to it. Don't let negative feminism get the better of you - most ladies that carry the thing on their head are either single and envious of those that are not single like them or just playing out the anger from their own relationships - don't get caught in that web.

True story - a lady saw her husband's texts to his girlfriend about how they enjoyed the sex and all. She went about her usual duties even bought him a really nice valentine gift (it was valentine season). She only told him to make sure he uses protection. He got scared of her and didn't eat her food for a while. One day he taught through it all and cut ties with his girlfriend, came home to apologise to his wife and beg for forgiveness. She forgave him and they are even better than ever. Was she hurt? Yes! Did she act? Only positively! Choose what you want as a man or lady. Do you want to be among the negative statistics or a model to your kids and society? Decide

There are good guys/ladies out there. Look, seek, search and pray. It is also equally important that you work on yourself. Relationships are work, most people are just not ready to put in their own quota and have a "give me" mentality without the intention to put theirs into it.

God help us all!

Family / Re: My Wife Prays And Curses My Female Admires With Bible At Midnight by Ohidata: 9:07am On Mar 10, 2019
Bro, I understand your situation. It's possible you have her caused to doubt you and it's also possible that she's just a naturally insecure female when it comes to her man. Whichever it is, it falls on you to reassure her regularly of your commitment and fidelity to her and rebuild her trust in you. And seriously, if you sternly tell those females not to call you again, they won't, except there's something else they are looking for - whichever it is, you know how to get them to stop calling, except there're some things you are not saying. If she keeps at it and continues to disturb you on this subject and acts out, you should both seek counselling with your Priest/Pastor or a marriage counselor. Trust takes time to rebuild once lost, so patience on your part is essential. If however she remains adamant over an extended period of time, then it might be that she had always been an insecure woman and you either failed to notice it or ignored the warning signs. In this case, you have a whole lot of more patience to exercise.




Patman123:
My wife knows am not a woman woman person. I don't know why she's taking it too far.
Plz how else do I make her understand that I don't intend to cheat on her ever.
If I leave their calls or chat she complains.if I delete them just to avoid issues she says am hiding something. Cos I forgot to delete one time. I didn't know she has gone through them before I deleted them.
I don't have any interest in those women. But you know how desperate some women could be I was trying not to be harsh till their feelings fade away. But wifey doesn't see it that way.
Now she says she doesn't trust me again.
It's destroying my marriage.

Family / Re: I Had A Child With My Brother's Ex Wife. Please Read And Advice Me by Ohidata: 3:43pm On Mar 02, 2019
You first need to ask God for forgiveness and try to build a firm relationship with God, then you need to forgive yourself. You need to explain to your wife and ask her for her forgiveness. Your brother needs to go see a therapist for his drinking and womanising issues - he's suffering emotionally and psychologically from what his wife did to him - help him with that if you can afford it. Only after he's better should you explain the situation with his wife to him because he needs to be stable and rational enough to hear what you have to say without sinking into an even darker corner of his life. You send me a private message if you need additional assistance moving forward. God be with you.

Family / Re: My Wife Has Reduced Me To A Common Trash. by Ohidata: 10:41am On Feb 27, 2019
[/b] I hope you are married and your husband does all these things you are advising!


[color=#000099][/color]
Capensis:


Will you pay attention and stop this victim mentality. It is either you will take advise, since you brought this matter to the court of public opinion, or you will narrate your experience, believe your wife is the worst woman and conclude that you are leaving a marriage. You are sounding emotional and your feedback system has totally clouded your judgment.

[b]Pay attention:

Being a husband is a full-time job. Just like any job, it comes with serious responsibilities and repercussions if you fail to understand how the game is played.

1. It is your responsibility to get the money, pay the rent, pay kids school fees. You are the chief medical officer of your home, so everyone's health including your wife's and kids', are under your care.

2. You are the chief security officer of your home, you must check that all doors are locked at night and ensure the safety of everyone in the family.

3. You are the chief romance officer, you must master how to play women with sweet words, give her massage every evening, and make sweet love to her during the massage sessions, and I mean this. Get a massage table, it goes for about 180K to 300K for a good one. If you cant afford that, then buy massage mat. Prepare the oil and get some candles.

4. You must join her in the kitchen, even if there is a maid to do the chores and help her out, you must learn this. Wash those plates sometimes.

5. You must lie down with that woman on bed after sex, hold her face, and tell her truths and lies of how you love her. Then if you have nothing more to do, do some gossiping with her. Stroke her nicely and tell her how hard you are working to ensure your family is financial stable for the next 100 years.

6. You must stop thinking like your ancestors. Define your own path and ignore customary and traditional ways of running your home. Times have changed. Why wont you fetch water and wash your own hand. Seems she is the one doing all the kitchen work and you are the African man waiting to be served. It is not mandatory, besides do you know if her mother used to serve her father that way? It might be she got a different kind of training.

7. Do not ever think you have done enough, cos you havent done jack. If you feel that your wife is cheating, then rent a place somewhere else and move towards a different location. It does not matter if you own the house you are living now. Go and rent someplace nice for a year and move there and change your children's school so as to forget the shame and embarrassment your quarrel may have caused. If it is your house, you can return back after a year.

8. Always remember that most women are like babies. You must master how to lie to them if you know that truth will hurt. Learn all those skills from yahoo boys how they control white women and use it for your marriage. If you do it right, your wife might be giving you pocket money sometimes and you all will fall in love again.

Do you think your wife is bad? You have no idea. No one will tell you what is going on in their homes.

Master how to manipulate women, and you will control them like a intimacy gadget.

You better up your game, start eating healthy, working out, dropping it hot in the bedroom at all times, stop tying wrapper whilst eating chewing stick with white singlet at home.....dress sexy and be appealing so that you can be attractive to her.
Family / Re: My Wife Is Not Interested In Sex Anymore by Ohidata: 7:56am On Feb 19, 2019
You are a real woman, thank you for your input on this topic. As for those people that feel because a wife is disinterested in sex with her husband, she is cheating, it just goes to show that they know nothing. Let the woman travel on vacation while the man in on leave and at home and leave the 5 children with him, then he will appreciate her worth.

cococandy:
5 kids will ensure that she’s always tired. Especially when the last one is still a baby. Lord have mercy.

P.S forcing your way will make sure that she feels revolted some more by the act of sex and maybe even disgusted by you. I wouldn’t ever enjoy anyone who forced himself on me. EVER AGAIN


1) Start by apologizing to her. You have committed a crime against her spirit and body by raping her. Let’s hope she forgives you.
2) consider permanent birth control. If you can afford vasectomy, very good. If you can’t, use condoms. Birth control shouldn’t always be a woman’s problem to deal with. However if she wants to take on the responsibility of birth control for your family, very good as well. Thank her.
3) find out if there are additional issues related to her decreased appetite for sex. Too much work at home or outside the home?, fear of pregnancy, resentment for you for any reasons including your offense of raping her? Etc. resolve those issues.
4) start over. Build the romance up again. Show more interest in her besides sexual interest. That works to make sex more appealing after you’ve been with someone for a while.
5) decrease your expectations.
6) when you do start having sex again, ensure that she enjoys it. Many men see their women as masturbatory aides instead of physical beings who should achieve orgasm same as them. I would get tired too if the sex is always about your orgasm. If it’s over when you cum. Then No thanks.

Family / Re: Why Do Men Think Women's Lives Cannot Go On Without Marriage? by Ohidata: 12:29pm On Feb 09, 2019
First, I'd like to say that i respect everyone's opinion and and that this topic is a serious one and is a major reason why a lot of people, men and women alike live unhappy together
Marriage is the union between a man and a woman to become husband and wife. So what the gay people are doing now isn't marriage - I just wanted to clear the air on that.

I quite frankly believe that if a man truely loves his wife, he won't have issues helping her out at home irrespective of what his family or friends make of it. Helping your wife makes you more of a man and not less, as most men erroneously believe.

The problem starts with us as people not having the right values. Men and women alike make bad choices in marriage. Most guys are stuck on women's physical appearance and think little of anything else and a lot of women are stuck on guys' wealth and good looks. One must really know whom one is marrying. A guy that yells at his girlfriend habitrarily while you are dating is most likely going to be abusive in marriage. Similarly a lady that nags isn't going to automatically stop cos she's gotten married - she gets worse.

The bottom line is there is lack of consideration for one another, in most cases on the part of the man towards the woman; there's superiority complex, again from the man to the woman in most cases; and let us not forget that in most cases people get into marriage for what they can get out of it and not what they can put into it. If a man treats his wife less than a partner simply because he is the primary bread winner, then he lacks wisdom because there have series of instances where the table turned and the woman became the bread winner. Likewise, if a woman mistreats her husband because he lost his job/business and hers is thriving, she lacks wisdom... Men are known to cheat at will, this is wrong, whatever problems you have with your wife that is sexual, stick with her and sort it out as I guarantee that the gains far outweigh the work required. So also it is no news that so many men these days are raising children that are not biologically theirs without their knowledge, this is Ludacris and utmost wickedness. So many things are wrong in marriages these days and they can all be traced to the following:
- cultural differences
- getting married for the wrong reasons
- deceit (e.g. a man presenting himself as wealthy just to marry a woman only for the woman to fine out otherwise after the wedding)
- always comparing one's partner with others
- lack of or inadequate communication
- boredo, m/inactivity
- disrespect for either of the other's family members
- family interference
- lack of finance/mismanagement of funds
- secrets
- improperly managed stress
- impatience in choosing a partner
- lack of trust
- excessive jealousy
- unsatisfied sexual needs of either of the couple
- lack of appreciation
- lack of forgiveness
- insighting children against their father/mother

In all of these, to get a partner that though isn't perfect but would do all in his/her power to make you happy, try and do this: make sure the person you want to marry is going to help you know God, love God, serve God and be with God in eternity.
Any person that would seriously assist his/her partner in achieving the above is sure to be good to go. The other things are minor.

As for the issue of a woman/man willfully deciding not to marry, there's no issue with that. The only challenge is that any such person has to be celibate or otherwise commits fornication - according to Christian teaching and I assume the Muslims teach likewise, but we all know that a lot of people just want to be free to have sex with whomever they so please without consequence. That is that, we are free to choose our own paths.

Look with keen eyes for your partner with prayers and you are sure not to err. Don't overlook warning signs when courting. Discuss everything possible before getting into marriage.

Finally, marriage is the only school where U get your certificate before you begin and it is for life. It is a lot of work and don't give in at the slightest show of trouble. There are pointers to how to spot a genuine man/woman that would truely love you, all you need do is look out for them.


CHoccolaTE:
SERIOUSLY? WHY? angry

Why on earth do you people think that women will keel over and die if they don't get married?
Why do you think women are just dying to get married or get you hooked?

Day after day on Nairaland I see posts by men that talk about how some female celebrity is approaching her 30's and is not married or how some other ladies will never get married because of one reason or another as if these women told you that their lives cannot continue without marriage.

Why on earth do you people think Nigerian women are desperate to get married to you?
See eh, the reason why majority of women seek marriage is because of societal pressure from people that cannot mind their business and because they want to have kids that will not be called bastards so you better understand that fact.

Marriage hardly benefits women (except the very few lucky ones that married considerate men) so why do you think they are dying for it?
Husbands come home from work and expect a hot/good meal which the wife is supposed to have prepared; it is hardly ever the other way round and it is very rare for a woman to come home and meet that her husband has prepared something for her to eat yet this is something men enjoy all the time.
Men just stay by the side and watch while their wives whine in pregnancy pains and face the pains of being pregnant for months; imagine the struggles of getting the kids ready for school while fighting early morning sickness.

She works to assist you and must still submit to your whims because society expects her to, and you still expect sexxual gratification when you come home not considering that she is probably exhausted.
Also, after marriage the husband clearly enjoys his life and freedom more than the woman. he can close from work and 'hang out with the boys' instead of going home and nobody queries him, but his wife can never try such, she goes home straight to take care of children, does the cooking and cleaning and what not. She even has to take a break from work sometimes to pick the kids from school and drop them at home then go back to work before finally returning home at the end of the day to carry house work solely on her head because the majority of Nigerian men are lazy asses that think that helping their wives at home is an abomination.

After all the stress of doing housework on her own and taking care of children on her own she starts to look old and tired and her husband complains that she is now too old and unattractive and without thinking twice, he begins to look outside at younger women because his wife is no longer attractive to him.
The worst part is that the children the women is taking care of, the children that she got so stressed for and losses her beauty after birthing are bearing the man's name. The children bear his name and not hers and yet the men will have the effrontery to say that their wife is no longer attractive after bearing these kids so they want to chase other women.

What do women even gain from marriages for heavens sake?
People expects them give up your identity and start bearing their husbands' name, the kids you spend your life taking care of bear his name and claim his home town when they are asked where they come from, the man is very very likely to cheat on his wife and maybe infect her with some STD or another and he will more likely than not, turn her into his slave by refusing to assist with house work while expecting her to contribute financially to the upkeep of the house.
In fact, if not that religions make childbearing outside marriage a sin and society(mostly men) treat unmarried girls like outcasts, I'm sure many women will not get married, who in their right senses will want to marry an overbearing, unhelpful, slave driving no-good lazy ass; which majority of men are, when they can just have their kids in peace and not have to worry about taking care of him?

All of you can relax, eh kwa?
Women are not in any hurry to become your slaves.
Enough of the marriage this and marriage talk you keep disturbing our ears with.


Lastly, I know that not all married men think that women are on earth to be their slaves, I know that some kind and thoughtful men still exist there so this message does not apply to them.
Kudos to the 2% of Nigerian men that still have respect for women and consider their feelings after marriage.
I salute you.

Pocohontas, it's time he learnt how to start being a man gradually. Guy, swallow your pride. Draw up your plan and use some time to save up and then move to your own apartment. You may have to look for a better paying job though, cos the bills wud start mounting once you on your own.




pocohantas:
Nothing wrong with seeking to move out of your parents house, but you want to do it for all the wrong reasons.



So, your definition of worse is that you can't receive female visitors?
Na with your 30k you wan use stay with woman PRIVATELY?

I was at the beach this morning and saw the ship. I enquired from the military guy posted to keep watch and he said the ship was involved in illegal bunkering and was arrested by govt authorities since 2017. The ship lost its anchor at sea and drifted to ashore. That's about the story with it. The ship is most likely going to be scrapped since it has gone aground. So I don't think there's cause for alarm

Romance / Re: My Experience With A Lady I Intend To Settle Down With by Ohidata: 7:29am On Jul 12, 2018
Raskasal:
This post is directed to the matured minds in the house.

I've dated this lady for close to a year now and I have the intention of having her as my wife because of my love for her. She's got good qualities, cooks well, supportive in a little way but temperamental and easily provoked.

But there is this challenge I'm having with her, she puts up surly attitude and would always keep to herself whenever I correct her, and she won't talk to me for as long as we stay together, call or try to get in touch while away. This might last for as many days not until I come out to calm her down. Over times shes been doing this and the only way I've had to let things be normal is for me to talk to her again and beg her not to be angry. But I'm feeling I'm loosing my worth. This is someone that never admits she's at fault, talk less of apologizing. On several note I have had to take blame for her errors even when I'm not at fault just to make sure we're fine.

A recent development was that she came for holiday and was using the rest room within my apartment, I was passing by and asked her to close the door, she murmured, closed the door and she hasn't been talking to me since then and even when I do she'll answer reluctantly for like five days now. I am tired of living under same roof with someone that never feel anything keeping malice and I want her to realize her mistakes and apologize, but she won't, she'll rather stay back in the room, and whenever I go to the room, she be making avoiding moves.

I watched her closely to observe if she's into someone else but I haven't got any traces of that.

I have decided not to call her to terms again not minding if it costs a break up, but then am thinking I might be taking things way far.

Pls How best can I handle this? I really do love her tho and I am afraid of loosing her but I am loosing my worth and this has made her not have regards for me.

Thank you all

You have to ask yourself one basic question, can u survive her current behaviour if you were both married? You have your answer. Men and women have to love with their senses intact. It is for similar reasons that there are lots of failed marriages these days. People see attributes in their partners that they clearly cannot cope with but they go ahead and marry the person anyway - it's only a matter of time before the fallout occurs. Please don't make a yourself a victim of this.

Romance / Re: "Proposing To A Lady In Her 30s Is Not An Engagement But A Rescue Mission" - Man by Ohidata: 2:42pm On Jun 11, 2018
If any human being values another, he/she would not speak the way you just did. A lady in her 30s that possesses genuine qualities to make a good wife is way better than a 22-year old lady that that has nothing to offer other than her beauty. Guys are marrying beautiful young ladies by the day, that didn't stop or reduce the rate of domestic violence, infidelity, divorce and even couples' murdering each other. Guys, pls be wise and look for genuine characters in ladies and ladies be wise. Don't be fooled by just a person's eloquence or good looks. Men and women alike have to bring something worthwhile to the table called marriage, else there'll be issues - it doesn't have to be money. It could be your talent, wisdom in management, conflict resolution skills, support for ur spouse on his/her work/business.

Above all, seek ur partner in the presence of God, if you do this sincerely you can't get it wrong.

Miss, I don't think we should castigate him just yet for trying to reach out to her family. It makes sense to at least know a few members of a lady's family if truly one is serious about marrying her, and vice versa - or don't you think so?

Furthermore, part of the reason we are experiencing this outrageous rate of crumbling marriages is that people (men and women alike) see the signs that their intended partner have issues that may not make the relationship work but choose to ignore them and believe that "God" will see them through it all. When the centre no longer holds, they cry fowl.

My dear young people, this is my word... go into a relationship with sincere intentions and with something tangible to give your partner other than beauty & curves in the case of ladies or money and comfort in the case of men. There are men whose wives are the prettiest females to behold yet they cheat and there are women whose husband's provide more than enough money and comfort yet they cheat. Create time for each other as a couple, talk through your problems and difficulties, show respect to one another, don't take each other for granted, hold no grudge, share everything in common, never deny your spouse sex, respect your in-laws, make your spouse's happiness a priority and above all make God the centre of your marriage

Man, you are not as important to her as you should be, if that's what's truly happening. Please don't try to force what is not. Find someone that loves and respects you and marry her.

My advice to all: no woman is doing a man a favour by marrying him and no man is doing a woman a favour by doing same. There are some signs you see in the beginning of a relationship that always ends up causing pain and suffering.

And for the lady that thinks 5 years is too long, some people can marry someone they met last week - their business, while some may have to start as friends and work their way gradually. Different strokes....

Man up and move on with your life.
