I dint say love but not love oh. Bsds my idea of indepence sure takes into account the fact datd husband is d head. Its just something like for example, aving my own job, savings e.t.c.
Then u need to explain your own concept of independence

Of course having a job and a measure of financial independence is good n a given in modern days

So what do u mean by love but not crazy love

What do u mean by independence in a marriage

U may have noticed I didn't use the word 'broken' , I said single parent home/ divorced home. That's one of the stereotypes pple lash out without knowing, not all single homes are necessarily broken'. If I think in dat line, well u can't really blame me cos its what I've learnt overtime. Hmm as to those that don't want to marry pple from single parent homes, well dats up to them.
My question for u, what exacvtly do u find bad about such line of thinking?
A single parent home is a function of many things agreed however broken has roots in the manner of the particular genesis

I like your open questioning nature and will answer you what i felt about ur thinking

Marriage by definition means that one has to submit his will or desires to that of the other.

The man makes decisions for the betterment of the family ditto the mother

There should be no 'I' or me in it
You sink or swim together

That's why the choice of a partner is really one of the most important decisions one can make

A woman more so must take care as she has to submit to the headship of her husband

So love but not love sounds weird to .me
But heck..its your opinion

This post is for those raised in a single parent home.in other words raised by either their father or mother alone. This could be as a result of parents being divorced, widowed or unmarried.
My own parents r divorced nd I was raised by my mother and below is a list of what coming from a single parent home has taught me
_ to be independent
_ to not be too crazy in loving

_to learn how to think like an adult at an early age
_ to not feel too pained by insults and stereotypes from pple around
_to plan a better marriage.
Feel free to share urs, nairalanders.
How can you plan for a better marriage yet neither be loving and/or (inter)dependent huh huh huh

You are not and can never be more important than his wife, let's just get that clear. What you guys have is more of a business relationship and not an emotional one.

Having said that, if he has been faithfully fulfilling his end of the bargain for services rendered and then suddenly over the past 3months he has reneged, then you should understand that something has happened. If he is a client worth keeping then I suggest you do some customer care and be understanding during this trying period. He will eventually pick up again. Unless you want to lose him to other 'mistresses' you have to play patience and understanding this period.

Is he your only client?

True
Although colour is not a "prime directive" for me, there are undoubtedly serious pathologies in some black communities and nations. And as such co-opting "alien" notions does not necessarily help if not done smartly and with - dare I say it - proper "consciousness.

My main thrust - as ever - is always to exhort men to stand.

lol... there are issues

The black man nd woman need change.. that's the truth

Some men have abdicated their responsibility as authorities in the family which has led to the ascendance of 'strong black women' - filled with anger and hate

Some idolize the white woman look and make themselves bleached, burn their curly hair or use attachments all to hide their God given beauty

Some equate strength to being mouthed and rude all over the place

One can go on... The matter no go end today

Family › Re: Arranged Marriages Were Better Than Modern Marriages. by pickabeau1: 8:13am On Apr 07, 2015
Interesting...


So you can talk like this without typing in CAPS and exclamations shocked

More of this

Sophyrocks:
Now inspite of the higher morals we had back amongst our forefathers, some of them still married wrongly. Some homes back then had all manners of abuse. Its not everyone that would be enlightened when it comes to marriage and morals. But divorce wasnt the culture, women were always advised to endure as long as their husbands still cared for the kids. Most women were just homemakers, housewives with nothing going for their lives. There are also some exceptional households with women as breadwinners. Yes, women being breadwinners didnt start from this modern age. There were men who did nthing but drink while their wives went to farm and sell their produce.

In this modern age, most people do not find arranged marriages desirable because it could involve forcing a person to accept someone they dnt like at all. Modern age must come with a lot of changes. Economic changes have changed everything. women now work and earn money. A lot of enlightenment and education is going on now. Things of old have passed away. The bad change is our morals have gone down. Nowadays, a lot of s.ex is going on before marriage which has introduced unwanted pregnancies, stds, abortions and single motherhood. Gross infidelity is everywhere because of our fallen morals. There are too many vices going on that would disrupt marriages. also many people now marry for flimsy reasons, to show off, to please society. women could tolerate then but not now. the vices are too prevalent to do any tolerating.

Truth be told, if marriages of now are to survive, they must revive their dying morals. High morals〓 better marriages. Since we all know what destroys marriages, we have to avoid all these vices to make marriages work. The same bible that talked about love also talked about adultery. we know all these but because of our fallen morals, we ignore them. Too bad.

she doesn't visit, n even when she does (that is like once in 2 or 3yrs) she doesn't spend more than a week. That way the women don't have to tolerate her excesses for more than a week in 2-3yrs.

My uncles do all the visiting. She has other female kids she can visit as many times as she likes to.
OK and you think this is the best way on this issue?

jadelyn007:
movies are not responsible for the hate most people hv for their mil, it happens for real n I hv seen it life, the onus is on the spouse whose parent the inlaw is to put his/her offending parent in check.
Its not only MIL that are insufferable, some FIL are like that too. Sometimes its nt only the Man's mother, it could even be the woman's mother that is constantly a thorn in the flesh of couples.

Their was a time my maternal grandma was having issues with my uncles wife constantly. I am very close to the said woman and I've stayed long periods with her severally, we got along fine.
This same woman who seemed nice to everyone couldn't get along fine with grandma cos my grandma will always find faults.
Mind you, I have only 2uncles, granny doesn't like any of the wives. Is it a mere coincidence? Or are both wives bad? I have visited these women severally and I don't see anything wrong with them.

Some MIL's are just like that, no woman is ever good enough for their son, but their daughters are always the best thing that can happen to any man.
OK..let's go along on your tangent
So how was the issue resolved
