Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by ebubeson(op): 6:57pm On Jul 22, 2025
Parents are very important to us and good parents make it beautiful.

Now, with the way your Parents behave, will you marry a partner that behaves like any or both of your parent?

Thank God for parents.

Do your best to be a good parent.

It's absurd to project your parents' image on your partner. Nobody can be like anyone, most especially in character. Just find who suit your personality.

Nope. I would not marry a woman who is a religious fanatic

Yes and no

Yes because I will like a providing and supporting partner just as my parents

No because of the overprotection. I will like a partner that won't disturb me too much and let me have my freedom to make my own decisions

It seems you haven't noticed that you will be part if that parenthood, what i see in your statement is someone taking care of my financial liabilities but unfortunately you put parents but didn't project yourself as a parent in that relationship grin wake up. Your parents were providing for you the kids but in this scenario you will be the one providing for your kids in addition to your husband grin

Because you are so bittered, you seems not to understand the question. The OP was asking about our partner not parenthood.
Of course, I will provide, support and protect my children when I get to that stage

God forbid abomination. Never ever will I pray to.

My dad was a good man, bt my mum, well, she was just herself. She scarred me for life. Till now, i still wake up in d middle of the night screaming, even my wife reported the matter to pastors for deliverance.

I will never ever meet someone lyk my late mom and befriend that person. Never.

That will depend on the character they are exhibiting
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by Melancho: 6:16pm On Jul 25, 2025
Nope.

Since I have 30+ characters to go, I will still say...No.
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by wunmi590(m): 6:20pm On Jul 25, 2025
huh

No, I'm a different breed on my own, I really worked on myself, so I just want to marry who is myself..

I love my parent, but he'll no
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by Bahamas95(m): 6:27pm On Jul 25, 2025
No.

* My mum is a nice woman but this issue of church always made us clash back then. I don't want a situation where my wife would be disturbing my peace with loud prayers and everyday church.

* She's too generous for my liking and ungrateful people misinterpret her generosity as stūpidîty. My mum can go the extra mile to help people but they hardly show her same love.





I swore NEVER to make the mistake my parents made with humans, nobody gives a dàmn about you. They just show fake love to get what they want.
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by Olatara(f): 6:30pm On Jul 25, 2025
Spending money part, yes I will marry someone like my dad, but other parts,no way. cool
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by Ijoba85: 6:31pm On Jul 25, 2025
I can't marry a woman like my mum. Damn , my mum is so strict.
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by dheilaw1(m): 6:43pm On Jul 25, 2025
Hell NO

Do I still need more 40 characters to make a comment?

Parents shape us in many ways — through their love, sacrifices, values, and even their flaws. Some people look at their parents and think, “If I find someone just like my mom or dad, I’ll be blessed.” Others quietly promise themselves, “I want something very different.”

So, ask yourself honestly:

- Do my parents’ behaviors represent the kind of love, communication, and respect I want in a partner?
- Would I feel emotionally safe and fulfilled if my spouse acted exactly like my mom or dad?

It’s not about judging them, but about choosing consciously. You’re not just marrying a person — you’re choosing the energy and environment you want to build a life in.

So… Would you marry someone like your parent?
If yes, that's beautiful.
If no, that's a cue to grow in a new direction.

Now, with the way your Parents behave, will you marry a partner that behaves like any or both of your parent?

Most good mothers are not good wives. I can tell you for free that being a good mother does not translate into being a good wife .

Most mothers are very good to their children because children are their last resort.
They are the one who benefit most from the children when they are old. They build that bond in their children from childhood while the father is busy chasing money to sort out family bills.

Dear men,
Before you pray that God should give you a wife like your mother, take time to ask your father if he can still take your mother as his wife again in his
next life.
His answer will guide you on the kind of woman you want God to give you for a wife.
Re: Will You Like To Marry A Partner That Behaves Like Your Parents? by Sofistcatdmoron: 7:34pm On Jul 25, 2025
