We never marry
She organise my life.
When i met her, i was dating 2 other girls.
The first was just looking for a guy that was ready for marriage and she stayed because she hasn't seen😂
The second one was after what she can get from me
But when this one came, she was opposite of the first 2 in everything.
After dating/observing the 3 for 5 to 6months, i ended everything with the first 2 and focussed on only her and its been a year and 8months now. and no regret
Why does this story look like my husband's story?
He was dating two ladies before we met, they were older than me. The first one was agitating for marriage, the other one was too, but she was more subtle in her approach, then I remember our boss complaining about her 'other room' inadequacies. Men and bedroom things grin

When I came in, I was little, and was less concerned about marriage. I married an older man. In my husband's voice - I brought peace, no nagging or bickering or disrespect of friends and family. I got along well with everyone. I think the initial two lacked in those departments. Then, I don't ask for money or things too. He just gave me willingly. I didn't pressure him for anything, me wey I dey 'too proud' to ask for help. I always see it as demeaning up till tomorrow. That's as far as my hubby goes.

On my own part, I knew he was the one because we were friends first, and we carried that into the relationship. He lavished attention on me. We'd gist endlessly, he never gets tired of me. Then he can pamper for Africa! I don't ask but he always gives. He never plays the Alpha male game around me. My parents love him!

We've been married for over a decade and it's still like we just met. We still gist till late in the night, we still hold hands while we stroll, we still don't get tired of each other's company, we eat from one plate and the people who know us - family, friends, colleagues, neighbours- call us The Siamese twins.

It's a fairy tale when you marry the one.

Op, thank you for this. Atleast, I'm pretty certain that good marriages still exist. The internet is already choking us with the negative side of marriage and people are getting scared.

I believe, I'll marry right. ♥️💍

You know sometimes in life there are situations that chokes us and we look both right and left but find no one . But when we decide to look again we found out that someone is patiently waiting for us to find them , and that person was there throughout the low point of our life. So when we got back up we decided to keep them because situations of life cannot be predicted

Re: What Did Your Wife Do During Your Relationship That Made You Say She's The One? by Flesh10: 7:10am On May 17
I dated mine for 8yrs and for one day we didn't have any serious issue. There is this peace of mind I had around her

No unnecessary quarrels
She is very simple
No social media frenzy
No long throat
Just herself

After 8yrs I knew this is the one and proceeded to do the needful and so far she is still the same woman I met years ago no troubles.

Peace of mind over anything for me

Never dated my wife. Taught her for 6 six weeks 5 years earlier before I chatted her on Facebook. I was in another African country, and within 6 weeks of chatting her up, her bride price was paid by my family.

It's 4 years now, and we're enjoying the journey cheesy

I stayed jobless for six months after NYSC before getting only a Primary School teaching job.
I was so ashamed to tell her the truth - a campus big guy like me.
Eventually, I managed to tell her that I got a secondary school teaching job. She was cool with it. Later, I opened up that it was a Primary School teaching job, she was cool with it again. She then counselled that I needed not ashame of teaching since somebody gonna teach my kids in future. I was so relieved. She accepted wholly.
Months after, I left teaching job for an oil company job.
Our marriage is now 18 years. Our three daughters are doing well with one in university
God bless your marriage sir and may it continue to blossom

Please remember that in all marraiges, there are quarrels and there is no perfect one. How can there be when us as people are not perfect.

We have marraiges were people, quite frankly, are able to overlook imperfections. Those are the ones being described here.

Don't get a false impression or chase your own perfect partner based on what you are reading here.

I was told that during dating(courting), the girl will be pretending, and its when you finally marry that you will meet her original version.
Not all girls. My woman👩 was not always demanding even she knows I have. We went to a restaurant and I asked her to order anything, she only asked for ice cream🍦. She also cook 🍲for me. I realized that she is the one.

Why are you delaying marrying her?

Because tomorrow, you may say she left you for someone richer, whereas you are wasting her time⌚ and perhaps avoiding pregnancy.

Honestly, I really would not like to join the rest of today's generation to criticize marriage as a sweet union of people. Judging from what you wrote, everyone wants a similar story but the kind of broken people that are in the dating pool is seriously alarming.
All of you have slept with yourselves and filled yourselves, now it is hard to choose for matrimony, real sad world we live in today

This babe was there for me in times of difficulties, no nagging, obedient, respectful, good cook,wife material, she manage anything I give her and she support with what she as. To my greatest surprise she didn't tell me she was V.i notice it the first nite very tight like superglue it take 2 days for me to burst the kpekus. I ask her why did u not tell me all these when I ask she said she wanted to no of I will run or ot. I told her am not after ur body whether V or not ur character will speak for you. Today we are together with 4 children 3 houses, 6 cars, 4 business. Thanks be to God for everything and giving me an angel.

Smiles... I had lived a celibate life until my early 30s. So I was hell bent on marrying a virgin as I was one myself, I had just newly gotten my first job few months back and due to the nature of my job I was always in transit. Getting home one of the weekends my mum cajoled me to escort her in visit to a family friend not knowing that I was following her to my current in-laws place. Met her and saw a lovely angel that left me spell bound. In as much as I couldn't verify her status(being a virgin) I went all in and within 6months did everything necessary to make her my wife. Looking back I got myself a jackpot. A well trained virgin and a good mother to my two kids. I am Muslim so my means of marriage shouldn't surprise you

I rarely read past the first page, but seeing that we're all here in the third page still reading comments tells you that this is a lovely topic.

I pray we all meet the one woman for us and live happily ever after.

But woman wey go good, na beginning them dey know am... You can't pretend to have good manners. And even if she changes in one way or another, everybody changes.... But remember, if you give a good woman a good environment, she'll stay good.. butbif you're toxic, she'll learn from you and give you unbelievable hot hot.

Even us as men, we're not perfect too. But you see that many of the testimonies above center around the woman accepting you for who you are.. so if she show true color, help her find her way back to why you both fell in love
