What's That One Thing You Learnt In Your Marriage by lavylilly(op): 8:09pm On Dec 28, 2024
Married Women: What's that one thing you learnt in your marriage and wish you have known before marriage

Me: Your husband will always be that stranger you met on day one. Don't ever trust him with any secret oh!

Silence is golden Don’t be the 1st one to call 4 a dialogue when there is a dispute. He is the man. Let him call the house to order

Never ever stay in a family house 🏡

Never talk down about your family members to him

Married Women: What's that one thing you learnt in your marriage and wish you have known before marriage
None of the first two responses addresses the question. Those responses revolve around what should be done in marriage (when marriage has already started), not what should have been done before and when going into marriage. The question itself is about what should have been done before and when going into marriage, not what should be done when marriage has already started.

You may be a married woman but you still do not possess the skill and experience of a married woman.
Men are egocentric beings to the point that they'll lay down their lives to uphold their egos....an experienced married woman usually exploits this weakness to their advantage

It's obvious you have never been married.

When time reach you go talk true.

I agree both of you should never stay in a family house though, and even staying close to both inlaw is not ideal...but pretending that members of your family are saints and do not have faults will land you in back in the streets eventually because you will never be fair when conflicts arise between your family and him. Your husband will see through you and will resent you for this even if him no talk, but him affection for you go dey reduce dey by day.

Secondly you still see him as a stranger...if you are still referring your siblings as your family. Who you husband come be? you never ready.

[quote author=lavylilly post=133482825][/quote]One thing I learnt in marriage and I practice it too.
I don't wait for my husband to create the comfort I want in my marriage and family

Am the one that wants it so I will create it either by funding or by implementing

After all, is for the benefit of the marriage

[quote author=lavylilly post=133482825][/quote]I learnt to be intentional and deliberate in what should happen in the home.
if you leave things on autopilot in your home, the aircraft go crash.

we most times put women at high pedestal before marrying them. when she starts living with you in the home that is when it wil dawn on you that most of them behave like children. Kids need guidance . So your wife.

Very childish and immature mindset, infact, arrogance! Either of the couple can initiate dispute resolution in marriage for peace to reign supreme

DID YOU WANT A WIFE THAT WOULD ALWAYS INSULT HER FAMILY MEMBER TO PROOF LOVE FOR YOU?

O girl, you never jam oo.
Just relax until you see that thing you're looking for.

You need to have your own life on the side before you consider the idea of marriage... Because if you revolve your life only around your marriage, you'll get bored.

I am surprised at his interpretation of that post because the advice was simple and clear - NEVER TALK DOWN ON YOUR FAMILY TO YOUR HUSBAND (OR SPOUSE). Anyone who doesn't respect this rule is the problem. No need giving it additional interpretations. We all know what "talking down" is.
