Na Oloshos full outside now, no Wife material anywhere for now. Our society don over rotten finish.
"Open Hypergamy becomes open prostitution, but this relationship becomes an accepted exchange or transaction the more comfortable women get with revealing the crueler nature of their sexual strategy." - Rational Male

"As Open Hypergamy becomes more proudly embraced and normalized in society, so too will women’s sexual strategy be laid more bare. And in laying that strategy bare, so too will women’s opportunistic model of love become more apparent to men." - RM

"It’s ugly, but as Hypergamy becomes an increasingly normalized a blurring of the line between dating and prostitution becomes more common." - Rational Male

"Hypergamy doesn’t care for male idealistic expectations of love." - Rational Male

Many young men have delved into unfortunate marital union based on the common misconception attached to Proverbs 18:22 which states that "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favours from the Lord".

Do not be deceived. There is no scientific, cultural, social, religious or economic evidence that once a man gets married to a woman, he begins to obtain favours. If a man begins to experience favours in his life after getting married, it clearly shows that there are some unique and profitable qualities the woman possesses. It could be that she has financial wisdom, an astute business person, a prudent and wise woman who knows how to create and sustain wealth or a supportive wife that can go out of her way to see that the family succeeds.

As a man, don't ever you think that immediately you tie the knot, favours begin to troop in through doors and windows because your wife has two large breasts and a vagina in between her legs. You have to be very intentional when getting married except you have no mental picture of the family you would like to build.

"He who finds a wife (a good, wise and prudent woman) obtains favours from the Lord". Not just any woman. If you marry the type of woman that doesn't mind using your child's WAEC fee to buy shoes, bags or asoebi, and still expecting to obtain favours from the Lord, you will soon meet your Creator.

Let us not deceive ourselves. Marriage doesn't just bring favours because you exchanged vows and you have 'kissed the bride'. If you are a hardworking and ambitious man, favours will be obtained from the marriage if your wife is someone who has substance, prudent and sees opportunities even when they are not clear.

Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas in advance!
Well,
Somehow I consent to some of your opinions on this subject.
Finding a WIFE, is not finding "any lady" out there. That lady must be a WIFE.

Asides all the qualities you listed above,
She must also (above all) be able to motivates the man towards his Creator (God). She must be one that stimulates her man to align or remain under God.
Every man best performs when he is under God!

The bible is a great book but it needs to be revised.
That part should be written as "he who decides to marry should get ready for anything".
Not only that Paul refused to marry (Jesus also refused to marry), he wrote in 1 Cor. 7:8 that if anyone is not married, let them remain like that.

Proverbs 18:22 which states that "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favours from the Lord".

It’s a huge misery how white men were able to brainwashed humans till date using religion..

It’s very unfortunate..
shocked point of correction. it is not brainwash; it was forced. they killed 80million people to force Christianity on mankind and Africa might require another 500yrs to overcome this mental slavery of religion. Christianity is a completely fabricated religion.

fuckJones:
can you do us a favor by explaining 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 too
1Cor.7.27 - Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife .

The above simply says if you are married do not divorce her and it's both ways for the couples. If you are not yet married do not desire to be married.





1Cor.7.28 - But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you .

The above says if you desire to marry and be married it's not a sin and you have not sinned and though she may be a virgin.
The issue about having trouble in the flesh, have to do with the wife now will have to put herself subject to her husband.



Modified:
Both verses has in it's context the role the woman plays in her committed service rendered to God put into consideration.
We should note that it's same for the man as well.

WRONG! FINDING A WIFE IS DIFFERENT FROM FINDING AN OLOSHO OR A WOMAN TO MARRY!!

A WIFE IS AN EMBODIMENT OF GOD'S BLESSINGS AND FAVOURS WHILE A STREET GIRL/WOMAN IS A CURSE!!!

Abegi, you are only looking for what to write.

The Bible said "He who finds a wife*..."

Your focus should be on the word WIFE, is every woman you meet out there a wife?

A woman can be a good woman but not a good wife to someone.
A woman may be considered a bad woman by some and yet be a good wife to someone.

As long as she is a good wife to her husband, she will help her husband grow, progress, increase generally in life.

So, to understand Bible, you need wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
A wife is ANY married woman.
U are the one merely adding good wife and unsuccessfully trying to defend the bible

Lol. These things are.hardly as straightforward as you make it look.

Its written "he who finds a wife", theres no ambiguity here that warrants explanation. A wife is the person you married. So, the expected direct consequence of finding a wife is that you'd recieve favors.

Again, finding a "good wife" still doesn't guarantee any favors. Examples abound around us.

He who finds a WIFE finds a good thing and obtains favor from God.

The bible did not say...
He who finds a WOMAN finds a good thing.

Not every Woman is a Wife

There is a big difference between a Woman and a Wife.

So many men today did not find a Wife. Instead they found a Woman.
That's why the problem started from.

It's sad.

Women are everywhere but Wives are rare.

May God help men to find a Wife and not a Woman in Jesus name.

The Bible is clear and the word of God never lies.

HE WHO FINDS A WIFE HAS FOUND A GOOD THING.
A WIFE IS DEFINITELY A GOOD THING IN REGARD ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE.
HE WHO FINDS A WIFE. A WIFE.
I REPEAT, A WIFE.
IT DIDNT SAY A PROSTITUTE OR HARLOT OR WOMAN. IT SAYS A WIFE.
WHEN A WOMAN IS READY TO FIT INTO THE DEFNITION OF WHAT A WIFE IS, AND NOT WHO A WIFE IS, THEN YOU WILL REALIZE THAT A WIFE IS INDEED A GOOD THING.
YOU CAN MARRY A WOMAN BUT SHE IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING A WIFE AND YOU ARE DECEIVING YOURSELF CALLING HER Yur wife
Those are the kind of people who complain that their wife is not a good thing. Othewise aWIFE is a GOOD THING
Re: The Misconception Of Proverbs 18:22: Advice To Young Men by obaidan: 4:59pm On Dec 22, 2024
Marriage to a reasonable woman will help you focus on the things that matter. 2 of you can have talks about progress financially, asset growth etc 2 of u can put resources together to start a business venture that will increase income for the family. Assurance of an alternative income from your spouse can increase your risk appetite which can bring financial breakthrough. Its not u signing papers at ikoyi registry or saying i do in ur church or having someone call u husband that will bring the good things.
And these kind of support can also be gotten from partnerships that are not conjugal. So have sense, dont go and carry any woman to marry and say they have told me marriage/women bring success. If una dreams and goals no align, even if she be good person, u no go grow
Re: The Misconception Of Proverbs 18:22: Advice To Young Men by Krismas(m): 5:06pm On Dec 22, 2024
grin The most interesting thing about Proverbs 18:22 is not WIFE, its FIND!
Cos over the last couple of years, certain churches have emphasized the FIND in the verse above all else.
Not too long ago, i read folake4u and Magnoliaa on a Shiloh thread, advising people to attend Shiloh for miracle marriage.
At the time, it occurred to me that those sisters were perhaps oblivious to what their church's teaching on the matter is.
HE WHO finds A WIFE..........
That church claims, since Adam blamed god for giving him Eve, god does not give wife to any man again.
They support this with Prov 18:22, that every man must FIND his own wife by himself now.
Chai Christianity is confused!

the choice mode of killing for jesus back in the roman empire was forcing a pole thru the rectum of a man and hammering it, until it comes out from his mouth. For a female, they place explosive in her pussy and detonate it, all in the name of evangelism for fake mythical jesus.
