Hmmm.. Can the marriage scale ever be balanced? Well in rare cases I think. Some marriages are scams to either the husby or wife.. Since none is perfect then marriage will never be perfect..

Marriage can be very sweet and interesting if you'd use your wisdom and can be very frustrating if you're insensitive and immaturegrin

Let me share...

I and wify(sic) came back from a church programme 8pm on Tuesday. She asked If I will join her in the indomie noodle she was preparing for dinner and I said No that I desired swallow. Something to fill the stomach properly cos there is this delicious oha soup she prepared the previous day. Honestly, I wish and scheme to finish all the liver,towel and other orishirishi used to prepare it. They were so fresh...grin

Few minutes later, my EBA and oha soup were served and my expectations grew into anger...this woman don serve me water soup...grin I look across to her doing justice to her well prepared garnished indomie...(oh men, that indomie tight...green pea, carrot, egg, lettuce) and shouted in frustration: ''Why is this soup watery, am I a prisoner?

Being angry that she is having a better dinner, I raised my displeasure to the power of X5. She explained that the soup I have is the amount she could scoop from the blocked quantity and that she complimented it with water. See me see more anger...I abandoned the food and hit the bed in annoyance. This time it was a mind game. The more she beg to prepare another one the more I cunningly form ''James bond'' and slept off afterwards without eating.

Next morning, after preparing to go out I ask for fried plantain and pap, she said whatever I need I should go get it myself (hangover from lastnightgrin) and I replied; ''since you have decided to starve me, don't shout harder to me any other night again cos I don't wanna faint'' and smiled. I guess she stole a smile, went into the room, got dressed and came out requesting I assist her with money to go see a friend. Women! I quickly dip hand into pocket and handed her a thousand naira bill and she left with just saying thank you.


I was at a lost whether to get angry again or smile off our foolishness when she came right back in with bunch of plantain then I knew my breakfast is guaranteed.
Afterwards she ask me to apologize for rejecting her food the previous night which I did and she became happy.

Umunwayi....God perfect gift.

Beautiful!!!!!

Marriage scares d hell out of me?

I often ask maself dis questions:

'What if I marry d wrong person?'

'What if she gets worse or becomes a monster afta marriage?'

'Wot if I get bored before one year?'

'Wot if I stop loving her or find out wot I had was not love but infatuation?'

I wish I had some answers:/

RedEboe:
Years before i got married, I thought sleeping with same woman over & over again would get boring. Well, i've come to realise that this is not the case ESPECIALLY when a man endeavours to marry a woman he is $exually attracted to.

It was a Pleasant surprise for me to realize that a good wife is more than willing to satisfy ALL her husbands' $exual urges and desires if only he's bold enough to tell her what he wants (lots of hubbys are pussyz).

It gets better when the husband reciprocates this by making his wife comfortable enough to also share her inner-most $exual desires, and makes real effort to fulfil them.

Yes, $ex is the most important subject in marriage especially for young couples.

The AWFUL part about marriage (from the male perspective & in my own opinion) is that, Yes, you could love your wife more than anything on earth BUT for some strange reason(s), you can't get your eyes off other beautiful women that come your way. You DON'T want to keep them as second wives or mistresses, you just want a piece of the pie, for the road. (Yes I know, it's evil)

A number of married men have the capacity to bump into a hot $exy babe, appreciate 'God's creation' and move on. While for some other married men, possessed with the spirit of 'marksmanship' in their DNA, as hard as they may try, will end up going for the 'adultrous' chase...with a 90% success rate.

Well, you can guess which category I belong to. LOL!

This is just the type of answer I need. Very direct.

Thanks.

we r different in nature... as long as d wife doesn't complain... bt if she does den d husband should adjust... I knw some ladies who actually takes responsibility of all house chores without hesitating... saying dat dey enjoy it while some don't...

Did you read the story?? Let me paraphrase it for you.

Wife: Dear, I am tired. I will rather prepare a simple meal of Indomie Noodles. Can you help me with dinner?
Husband: No, just go and prepare my dinner. Oh, and by the way, I want you to prepare me a more elaborate meal of eba and soup instead. I do not care if you are tired.
Wife manages to prepare his meal despite her tiredness and husband gets angry because it is not up to his standard.

Anyway a lot of women called wives in Nigeria are just glorified maids and prostitutes in their homes, so not surprised at the husband's selfishness. Once she becomes old and tired from the husband's selfishness, the husband will exchange her for a fresher and younger version.

Imagine, she is not even financially independent, and she has such a selfish husband. I pity her.

Honestly! I love your writeup.
Well,my wife is a very caring n lovely wife. I so much appreciates her,even though from the inception of our marriage I didn't really love her despite the fact that she is pretty. However, she married me when I was down financially;although already a landlord with two properties.
Our problem started when I noticed she does not like my mum n I don't joke with my mum. Not like my mum lives with us. Knowing my mum to be a very free n lovely mother,also the person that encouraged me to marry her brought a lot of discrepancy btw us. However, we both have two kids together and for that reason I am trying to make the marriage works even though I can't tell the end thereof.
I know she knows I am attached to my mum that is why she is not comfortable for us being around with my mum but the truth is:she has a son...she too is attached too.

Fortunately I married an educated beautiful homely lady. Bible is her compass and she is nothing near a feminist.

She married me to put the feminine touch to improve my life and that's includes raising children and preparing delicious meal for the family.

Marriage is not all about se.x . It comes with responsibility and mostly division of labour.

I have lay several ladies, eaten in the best restaurants but I chose her to provide all these so that I can be focused and committed.... If she cannot provide the basics, I needn't marry her but to continue in my way of providing for myself. I can even get a baby mama but I desire more. I can't marry a woman polishing her nails and on telemundo while I do the dish or cook.

I can do those on my discretion or she hires a cook/maid. I've no qualms with the arrangement

Yes, you value your mum. But Life is a race, a relay race, someone must pass the baton onto the other. It is now your wife's turn to carry that baton. I am a "my mum this, my mum that" person. Today, my sis asked me about my partner: "can you see this man supporting you at your mother's funeral?"

It made me think. One thought was that my mum was elderly and had lived her life and will continue to do so. All I can do to honour her is not to buy her an expensive car or house, but live my life is a wonderful manner.

So which will please your mum, a new car or a happy marriage?

Remember, the relay race can never pass the baton backwards.

I'm a kind of a quietist and will not like to be disquieted whether by man or woman. I'm not ready to tolerate all this shortcomings coming out of a lady all in the name of keeping a marriage. I'll rather not marry than marry someone that we have to quarrel and forgive, and soon after we quarrel again and forgive, since I'm 100% sure I will never be a cause for a single quarrel in the house. Marriage seems to me like something that will cause me discomfort. I'll rather just be.

Why marry someone you are not in love with? So you are now trying to force yourself to love her? Humans are really the most complex creatures.
