1. My son, if you keep spending on a
woman and she never asked you if you’re
saving or investing, and she keeps
enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.


2. My son, a woman could be a good wife
to you, some could be a good mother to
your children but if you’ve found a
woman like a mother to you, your
children and your family, please don’t let
her go.


3. My son, don’t confine the position of
your wife to the kitchen, where did you
get that from? Even in our days, we had
farm-lands where they worked every
morning . . . that was our office.


4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your
pocket; look if you will see a smile on
your wife’s face.


5. My son, if you want to have a long life,
let your wife be in-charge of your salary,
it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills
to pay but if it’s in your care, she will
keep you asking even when all has been
spent.


6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman,
the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and
that means you may be in trouble living
with a wounded woman.


7. My son, now that you’re married, if
you live a bachelor kind of life with your
wife, you will soon be single again.


8. My son, in our days, we had many
wives and many children because of our
large farm-lands and many harvests,
there are hardly any land for farming
anymore, so embrace your woman
closely.

9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did
meet your mother could be your eateries
and restaurants of nowadays, but
remember, the closet thing we did there
was to embrace each other.

10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of
spending on those tiny legs that never
knew how hard you worked to get it,
spend it on that woman that stood by
you all along.

4 n 5 is bullshiit.why will my wife receive my salary.

11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother
father’s house, to call her out, it was not
for sex, it was because I missed her so
much.


12. My son, remember, when you say
your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.


13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the
bicycle with me before I bought that
tortoise car outside there, any woman
that won’t endure with you in your little
beginning should not enjoy your riches.


14. My son, don’t compare your wife to
any woman, there are ways she’s
enduring you too and has she ever
compared you to any man?


15. My son, there is this thing you people
call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house,
divide all the bills into two equal parts,
take one part and ask her to start paying
the other part.


16. My son, I met your mother a virgin
and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t
blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that
our women had prestige.


17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to
school because I was foolish like many to
think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that
mistake, the kind of female achievers I
see nowadays has made the male-gender
an ordinary tag.


18. My son, your mother have once
locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I
did not raise my hand to beat her
because of a day like this, so that I can be
proud to tell you that I never for once
beat your mother.


19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I
wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor
painting of their appellation mostly on
their arms, the ones you people now call
tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t
expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.


20. My son, your mother and I are not
interested in what happens in your
marriage, try to handle issues without
always coming to us.


21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her,
help your wife achieve her dreams just as
you’re pursuing yours.


22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me
and your mother, it’s a secret of growing
old and having children to take care of you too.


23. My son, pray with your family, there
is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to
God that knows everything, everyday.

Op Wake Up! This is 2016 not the 60s

Drabeey:
same reason why divorce is rampant nowadays and seldomly then

foolinlove:
Maybe because women were property, not partners.

This advice just feeds into a patriarchal worldview. It's well intended but very silly.

Drabeey:
Emphasis on 'but very silly'
can u explain?

foolinlove:
It is very silly because it feeds into an idea that men are superior to women.

It is well intended. Treat your wife well, but don't treat her as an equal.

Not for me.
