Today one Elderly Man that's in late 80s came to my shop in the morning to patronize me . He was happy with me he bought a bottle of Hot drink and I offered a small bottle of dry Gin in appreciation and a New year gift.
He uttered some words of prayer for me , lastly he told me I'll be great in my business that I will grow in heights . He advised me to be very careful in choosing a girl to marry that I shouldn't pregnant a girl before going to see the parents and pay for bride price that I shouldn't even have sex with her , that a woman I marry will determine if I'll be more successful or encounter challenges in Life . I just dey reason the talk since morning.

This is spiritual I'm From Igbo and I strongly believe in Tradition this got to do with tradition think deep.

What do you guys think about it
My (adopted) mum told me that there are Wives and there are Knives.

That old man really confirmed her postulation to you when he engaged you in discussions, and I like his No-Sex approach.

It's very true. But more so, become the kind of quality man that quality women are looking for. Don't expect a great wife if you cannot be a great husband. It goes both ways

What he said would have been true if the sexual marketplace have not been deregulated. As it stands, the rule of the marketplace in his time is different now. The only place I can see this happening is in sharia countries, where marriage is treated as a contract and each parties dealt with if they go astray. The man needs to update his software to the 21st century.

socialmediaman:
You are responsible for achieving one of many possible destinies on your path (based on your choices, decisions, other factors), however, the woman you marry and live with has everything to do with what choices and decisions you make in life. I'll give you a simple example

You have a very big presentation tomorrow, and you need to stay awake tonight to study and make final prep. You're about to go and study, but there's an argument between you and your wife. After the argument is resolved, there is sex to wrap things up, and you're exhausted... till tomorrow morning. You didn't prepare, and your presentation is a flop!

You can call the woman evil all you want, but it was your choice to avoid the argument and sex, knowing you have a presentation the next day. It's on You, however, if your wife had cared about your presentation, she could as well have been supportive and given you a break. That's why they say a woman can make or break you. It's not because she has power over you, it's because she has a reset key you may need frequently
Oga don't blame your partner for poor planning. You have a big presentation and you left it till the eve of your big day presentation.
Google time management, your partner is innocent of this particular accusation.
