I still keep wondering, how come marriages of the times of my grandmother lasted,even though they were arranged, but now we have freedom to choose, we even claim to be inlove, yet the rate of divorce cases keeps increasing,I want to know what went wrong from the transition of my grandmother's generation to ours

My dear God knows exactly what he was doing when he shared the responsibility. He said wife be submissive to your husband and husbands love your wife as Christ love his church. We all know what Christ did for the church! But today people are just one sided

What is your definition of submission? Please do not use religion because I'm not a Christian. If I quote my own religion.. woman is head of marriage so leave religion out. Be logical

sinaj:
it's wen u have big breast nd butt

u must be ur lecturer's most favourite student

MrsChima:
Scram you punk!

It is part of civilization, I will never marry a woman who is single and has a PhD, as far as I am concerned she needs no man, even those with masters are a handful, why don't girls of today get their masters and PhD after marriage? My mum did it so what is the fuss? I pity this generation...

Are you one of those men with insecurity issue? I sincerely pity your woman especially if she has a vision. If I were your gf and you say such, I will run with quick speed Cox you will surely kill the woman dream believing she must not be highly places in the society than you are....... Men and their selfishness

You had better go marry a school cert holder or a primary school girl. Men and their selfishness

Did you read my post at all? I said no woman should put career above family, I even gave example of my mum who has a PhD AFTER marriage, you must be a feminist, you definitely don't need to get married...

Why do you think something went wrong in the first place?

dats the thing, how can we correct it,if people like you don't even know if something is wrong

How do you want to correct it?

Our grandmothers paved the way for us to move forwards and not backwards. Just because people didn't divorce as frequently as they do today, does not mean that everything was better or that they were happier.

Does the timing of a woman's degree have anything to do with the survival of her marriage? U pity this generation because women are getting advanced degrees? Seriously?

The survival of one's marriage depends on it's foundation..not a woman's degree. It should be a thing of pride to U ...not sth worth shaming generations.

Yet such women don't have 50 years wedding anniversary, I know what am talking about, if you have heard cobams (the blind producer) love story you would understand what am saying.

One man's experience does not translate to a general policy/guideline. I know intellectually successful women who have been married that long. It all depends on the character of the individual.

cos one way or the other we r affected by wt happens to our neighbors even if we seem nt to care

How will you be affected by a marriage that crashed two weeks after the wedding took place?

Well the truth is most African men won't tolerate such, the best option is someone raised outside the country, even African parents won't be happy to have their daughters with PhD but still single,don't believe me? Ask your African parents...

The mentality of ur African Parents differs greatly from that of mine because they are pushing my sis to get her masters degree and she is still single. Same applies to the African men you have encountered. My African brothers appreciate an educated woman.

My dear I said PhD not masters, just ask them...

What does it take to get a PhD? How many years will it take one to get a PhD? Puhleezzee... My African parents are always proud of their children's intellectual accomplishment. This they have shown over the years. A PhD cannot stop a woman from getting & staying married... only insecure lowlifes will see it as a threat instead of pride.

Like I said, it's the woman's character regardless of her accomplishment that determines the strength of her marriage. This does not exclude the men.

Lol, you think PhD in Nigeria is beans? Ok oh as you want it, but know this, education is meant to teach you your rights as a citizen and not make someone brilliant (bill Gates, mark Zuckerberg, Richard brandson, Steve Jobs etc all did not have degrees) but I agree with you on the importance of character... Good luck with your degrees.

I already have my MBA & Iv no interest in PhD..so ur "goodluck with your degrees" dosnt apply to me. Ur deviating here cos ur point is that women shuld go further only when married. My point is that PhD has nothing whatsoever to do with a long lasting marriage. The character of the individual does.
