So, keep your fingers crossed as the journey progresses.

Samantha125:
Is she that one that you'd sometimes accompany to the salon to have her hair done?

If she is, I guess all that waiting and dozing off at the salon finally paid off, I don't think I'd have that type of patience as a man, I'd have just dropped her off and tell her to call me when she's done...

Jman06:
Yeah, she is. I love her very much and accompanying her to the salon is not a problem for me.

Samantha125:
Aww... How cute... So have you guys decided whether you'll be getting married in community of property or out of community of property?

Jman06:
What is 'community of property'please??

Samantha125:
What's yours is hers and what's her is yours... You share everything.

Little piece of advice for you . Marriage is different from dating . For a successful marriage , you and your spouse should adopt the calmness of a dove . Dont ever raise your voice on your spouse to the hearing of next-door neighbor . There is no way you will live with someone without misunderstanding sometimes , even your siblings born of the same parent . So , misunderstanding must come but try as much as possible to reduce it to the barest minimum , don't be too quick to talk , and don't ever pass aggression onto your wife . This is life and storm might hit at a point in your marital journey i.e sickness , loss of job , business , don't because of that see your wife as badluck or maltreat her , instead hold each other's hands and survive the storm together . Don't make your wife jealous , and to you , your wife should be the most beautiful woman on planet . Take care of her . People do believe there is no manual to good marriage, which is a lie . There is actually a manual that if you follow , your marriage will be smooth except you marry a bad spouse . Good luck to you , and I hope you are marrying your friend ? Cheers to a blissful marital journey 🥂

Yesterday 26th January 2026 marked the beginning of my marital journey as I made first contact with my prospective inlaws. The reception was warm and signalled the start of a great relationship between the two families. I'll continue to update you guys as the journey progresses.
I know some of you might be curious about the girl I later settled for but trust me, I made a great pick and in line with what I have always posted here about the sort of woman I wanted to marry.

So, keep your fingers crossed as the journey progresses.

Jman06:
Okay...of course that's how our relationship is

Samantha125:
So you haven't considered the idea of maybe getting married OUT of community of property?

Perhaps you might have some assets that you'll like to protect in case things don't work out between the two of you, because with marriage out of community of property, the couples keep their own separate assets and liabilities in cases of a divorce... You don't automatically share everything upon divorce like you'll do if you were married IN community of property.

Jman06:
I didn't consider that because in my country, couples hardly share properties upon divorce. Maybe if we are traveling abroad, we could consider a prenup or something like that. For now, it is the traditional cum Christian wedding we are going to do

Samantha125:
What if she then decides to claim half of your assets in case things don't workout between the two of you? Because I believe traditional marriage is automatically ruled out as marriage in community of property, meaning she'll still be entitled to claim half of your assets if she wants them... I mean your case might be different from the rest of those Nigerians who got lucky.

And I hope she's a nairalander so that she can starts taking notes...

Antwan99:
In over 2026 years, no one has taken half of anyone's assets after a divorce in Nigeria.

Jman06:
Sharing of properties can only be enforced if the marriage was contracted in the court. Traditional and Christian marriages do not support sharing the man's properties.

Meanwhile, my marriage would definitely be successful so there won't be need for dragging properties.

Samantha125:
With the right legal representation, they can still apply for a divorce rescission even after 20 years of your divorce and claim half of everything...

Antwan99:
In over 2026 years of Nigeria's existence, no one has applied for a rescission.

Samantha125:
I've said what I needed to say and I'm done.

But just keep in mind that people are getting exposed and more wiser by the day... You can't be comparing the things of today with the things of the past or the future... Who'd have thought we'd be having AI music topping the music charts in 2026?

Antwan99:
That's totally a different scale.

Gbadugbakun:
Can we get married?

Dtruthspeaker:
See how she is wishing you evil.

Do I not keep saying that women hate men?

Also as you said, there is nothing like sharing of property in Nigeria.

Modified
She is saying all these because a judge in her country just rightfully deprived one lazy wicked husband from sharing what they call community property

Samantha125:
I'm married.
