From my experience, I became financially stable when I got married, and my hustle became lighter compared to when I was single
Good for you. Not everyone is as lucky as you. So you weren’t financially stable when you were single?

Lol, this is funny. What’s your being submissive going to do in the marriage? What if your husband starves you death due to lack of money you won’t japa? Dey play!
Read my response again if you missed it. I believe in gender roles and I’m a traditional woman, just like your wife. FYI, I can’t be starved. There are contingency plans, na who depend on man na him lose. My own is, just provide for the welfare of the home and we are good. If you need me as a wife to step in where you might be lagging, I’ll gladly help. But, it’s not my responsibility.

Marriage is good the question is did you really marry a help meet or na pride make u keep woman for house .
Most of us just jump into marriage with the pride of I am a man now ...not considering who you are getting married to.

Bro I'm married , and my life has never been easier because the right woman came into my life .
Some burden are off me shoulders .[quote][/quote]

Don’t marry broke women. grin
That’s not the answer. What you should have advised is, don’t marry an unsupportive woman and one who believes in gender roles (different strokes for different folks). I can be earning 500k per month and decide not to spend a dime from my salary in the home front. No be by woman financial capacity. Check her ability to be supportive.

That’s just the fact! When I was a bachelor, I know how much I spend and save every month. Fast forward to when I got married, it’s all about bills, bills and bills.

I just checked my OPay transaction history and I couldn’t believe how much I’ve spent in just two months.

This thing called marriage is just responsibility and nothing more. If you are not financially stable or you have other side hustle that bring extra money,please don’t get married.

My 2 cents!
Word.
This word should be put on a billboard, wallpapers , memos and reminders.
No sentiment, it is what it is.

I can see You are speaking from ur PERSONAL perspective. 😒

But Generally Speaking, Married Guys/Men without strong Financial (Esp in Nigeria) are NOT happy@All. undecided
All their little earned Income, goes into Family Upkeep/BILLS. :
No Savings/Financial Plans for the Next 5 or 10years! embarassed

This is the Point of the OP. 🤨
Very deep, couple with the fact that majority of this ladies are nothing but chronic liabilities, poor and dull.

Very few ladies are apt and worth it but the rest is can you take care of me crew and with this mentality the purpose of marriage is defeated.

A man will keep working to keep the family and no investment plan for his old age because all money coming in goes solely to the family and when the man gets old the children will be praising their mother for being successful.

Dnt get married when you have not map out your life till old age.

WOMEN HARDLY SUPPORT. ANY MONEY A WOMAN GIVES SHE WILL SURELY GET IT BACK FROM YOU THEY ARE THAT SMART/CUNNY

Marriage is more than responsibilities...


Marriage is far from how you view and understand it.

Responsibilities is just a task. Marriage is a command from God.


I didn't understand marriage untill I planted a tomato at the backyard and I was always going every morning to observe and check for changes an watering it.

My friend thought it was all about watering it. But in real sense, it used to bring joy to me seeing that I was able to grow something and it was wonderful...

Need I say that I was stocking alot of it on the fridge and dashed some out? Later I also included pepper to the family and with eggs at home, I was always sure of a good breakfast....

The beautiful seeds the produced.



Like I said earlier....

Marriage isn't a responsibility.... If you're poor and stingy, you'll always have this mentality.

If you're not, you will enjoy its beauty!
beautiful comment..

This one spend 100k dey complain

Come meet guys spending close to half a million, some even over a million in some months.

Only school fees for two children in secondary School oo don pass 1 mill self. If you come check the three terms, add 2 wey still dey primary school.

And them never enter university oo

Your only prayer is that you married a sensible woman that appreciates your work and Baba God to always bless one hustle
That we will be able to make much more hustle, take care of our family and still be a blessing to those we are better than

Like me and my elder brother go dey say when we meet up
To be a man is not a days job, e no easy
But we no go run away from our responsibilities Lai Lai
No wonder more men die before there wives
school fees for two children in secondary School pass 1 mill? Cut your coat according to your clothes. There are far cheaper quality school, that will give you value for money than the exorbitant ones.

@the bolded, give us examples of their monikers Victoria. grin

Stop throwing subtle shots. We want names!
grin

But honestly, saying "just a 100k" is not fair on the Op.

You don't know his level of finance before he made that post.

It might be chicken change for you but just for instance put yourself in the shoes of someone earning like let's say 70k monthly, then you'd understand why the Op is complaining.

Difference level of finances for everybody.

Your pocket change might be someone else's life savings.
The monikers know themselves and they should be able to decode this should they see it.

Fine, we could have different levels of financial capacity as all fingers aren’t equal. But, the question that begs to be answered is, did he not know all these before deciding to delve into marriage? At least, knowing all these and deciding not to get married would have halted him from creating this sob thread and lamenting all over the place.

What he should be concerned about now is creating multiple streams of income and as well, getting his wife to support him if she’s not doing that already. Being a sole provider on a small income can be very hard and impossible to do, so I get it.

I know you are happy with this thread anyway as you have always hated marriage. Please, stay single!

My man is a traditional man to the core. He’s a provider man to the last. My job is to revel in his provision and leadership, and we are good. He expects NOTHING from me. Not even a N5 of mine. My job is to be submissive and be an agreeable partner and whatever that follows is inconsequential.

To answer your question, I am an ORIAKU and my man likes it that way. Nothing concern me with splitting bills. Sorry, but I believe in gender roles.
you believe in gender roles but you don't want to share in responsibilities. Jesus!

Lol. You must think everyone lives in a lala land. Well, I don’t know about you sha. But, as for me, 500k per month is very feasible and what I have seen and doing. Even more. Selah.

Absolutely... very good point... Everything goes into family upkeep and bills. How do you want to save to acquire your long term and short term family goals. It's that crazy mehn..

I believe in gender roles means what to you? It means that I believe in the principle of marriage that says a man must be the sole financial provider and the woman the carer and should tend to the home front/kids. Any other thing apart from this, I’m out. Every man/woman to his sole responsibility. No be fight.

nothing like achievements in all those things you highlights, all what you wrote still scream responsibility, and mind you a single guy can still achieve all of this, including the peace of mind that follows.

When we are single, no money but now that we are married and have money to take care of d responsibilities. We don't need to complain, we should only pray to yeshua to continue blessing us to take good care of our home.
