Boss13:You have spoken like the boss. You are correct. Men should understand that when you marry you are marrying the family too. If you can't provide for them, you are incompetent. Provision is lessened if they are stable and financially okay. How to know the financial status is simple. Visit them and open your eyes. |

[[s]quote author=Boss13 post=77706045]I have read about some many sad tales on Nairaland about marriages and I have seen similar pitfalls. Please note that my post is from a man’s view and does not aim to bring down women. I am also posting this because many young men do not get solid advice on how to pick their partners. It is only when you get married that you begin to understand marriage. However, young men, if you adhere to some of the advices below, you will avoid some marital pitfalls and approach marriage from a logical point of view. No 1 - Never marry for love. Love should never be the underlying factor to marry a woman. Why - marriage is a long term commitment for the foreseeable future. Love is an emotional situation and just like every other emotions, love comes and goes. There would be days and even months, that your partner irritates and disgust you. If love is the main reason you marry, young man, you would be heading for the divorce court. No 2 - Never marry a single mother. What ever you do, never ever marry a single mother. Don’t start your family with another man’s family. Start your family brand new. I would love to explain this fully, but it would make this post longer. No 3 - Assess and conduct proper due diligence on your future in-laws. Know your in-laws properly. Know their source of livelihood. Ensure your future in-laws are doing financially well as well as the siblings of your future wife. You will not enjoy your marriage when excessive financial burdens fall on you. Except you are excessively wealthy, which I doubt as a young man starting off life, and you have a big heart as well as a big house, don’t marry a woman where you cannot verify her family income. No 4 - Don’t marry a lady from a broken home. Many women will paint a story of not leaving their marriage because they are from a broken home. However, please note these women do not have the knowledge, opportunity or privilege to be in a stable household. Many of them did not see their mothers adore and respect their fathers. Many only get to hear about negative information of their fathers. These are the first set of women to leave their marriage when things take a downward spin. If you want to have an idea of how your wife would treat you, look at how her mother behaves or treat her father and if the father is not around, this is a huge risk. No 5 - Never marry for beauty. I don’t need to explain this so much. Beauty fades as one age and even if it doesn’t, beauty becomes inconsequential during marriage. Behavioral attitude matters a lot. At some point, your wife’s beauty becomes non existent and you begin to see her as an individual and not because she is beautiful. No 6 - Assess your future wife’s friends and those who influence her. Women are largely insecure. Many rely on the advices of their friends, family, or spiritual leaders to make decisions. You have to assess the character of the person who has a major influence on your future wife. You have no choice on this because this individual would be running your home from his/her own location. If the individual is of no good and your future wife cannot cut ties, don’t marry such a woman. If the individual is of good standing, befriend such individual. No 7 - Polygamous home - if the father of your future wife do not have a strong influence over his large family, run away. No 8 - Never marry for food or sex. These are things a man with good income can easily get. Don’t let this form an opinion for selecting a wife. As you age, your sex drive dwindles down. Also, you get preoccupied with other more important things. For food, we can all agreed many of us eat out either due to the job or recreational purposes. Furthermore, food and sex do not define a man. If this is why you want to get married, think again. No 9 - Never marry an illiterate, semi-educated or poorly educated woman. This is actually because of your kids. Women play a pivotal role for the early development of kids. An educated smart woman would raise smart kids. No 10 - Never marry a prostitute. We get to hear prostitutes make fine wives. I wonder the foolish set of people who pushed the agenda. A prostitute has no regards for her body and health. She is highly materialistic and considers money to be her ONLY master. Prostitutes have served a wide range of different men and are only with men for money. A prostitute would marry you for the financial security you bring. She would be the first to sleep with your friends when that financial security no longer exist. She also may continue to indulge in her sexual escapades whilst married because she enjoys the thrills.[/quote[/s]] Fallacies. Marriage got no manual. What you see in it is what you get. Change remains constant. |

Boss13:this is what most men wont agree on.. as a man ages so his financial pocket gets enlarge...i have seen old men who don't get sex from their wives because they are broke... financial security makes a woman wet all the time for her man. |

lilwetdick:So you mean if your father in law is sick you won't pay his medical bills. The daughter will be sad and it will tell in your own relationship with her. Better adjust to the truth now. |
| Re: Men & Marriage - How To Pick Your Wife! by Nobody: 12:47pm On May 06, 2019 |
deltateam:that is why i will never marry from a broke family..atleast..the parent needs to be average before i can marry into their family if my son and inlaw are sick at the same time, i will go for my son..in law can go and die. |

Great post. Thanks a lot, OP. |

Limitless72:My sincere apologies for not responding to this question. I guess its over a year old - wow. Let's get straight into it. I will not advise a man to marry a woman who is older than him. There is something called "SEXUAL MARKET VALUE - SMV". A woman who is your age mate is actually not your mate in the sexual market. An ideal age bracket should be between 7 - 10 years and the ideal age for a man to marry is 35 years. At this age, the man should be able to sort out himself financially and be capable of accommodating and be responsible for another individual and this also includes kids. A woman who agrees to marry a man who is younger has hit the wall and no longer attractive to successful older men. I am not saying women don't marry younger men, but normally women prefer men who are older and because these men have figured themselves and have their shit together. There may be concerns about RESPECT and the ability of the woman to follow the lead of her husband. The only time I may advise a man to marry an older woman is when such a man is doing extremely well (financially). However, high-valued men who have enormous financial resources do not go after older women except she is a woman of means or an opportunity to further increase their wealth. These men have more access to exotic younger women and typically go after them. |

Boss13:Op say more about the in law background check. Should it be just ascertaining their financial background alone or are there other things to find out? |
| Re: Men & Marriage - How To Pick Your Wife! by Boss13(op): 12:55am On Jul 04, 2021 |
patwilly:My apologies for not responding to this on time. I have been busy. It is extremely important to conduct due diligence on your prospective in-law. As I write this, I'm currently advising a man who failed to implementing this and is now going through a divorce. This man is from a well-to-do family, but married into a poor family. This is a story for another day. I will strongly warn young men to not marry below their class. Infact, men from poor background should strive to marry into affluent family. Men from rich background should stick to their class. In-laws from poor background actually seek marriage as an escape route from poverty. They will drain you financially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You can conduct this diligence via finding out where they stay (location). Nature of business or employment of the parents and siblings. Position of your fiance in the family. Who is the main financial sponsor of the family. Educational qualification of the parents, siblings and even extended family. The easiest way or cheapest way of doing this is by asking your fiance/girl-friend and then confirm the information. Don't marry into a poor family. That's financial suicide. |

i think what you did to the lady doesn't make much sense. if you continue treating ladies like that , you won't go far iLegendd: |

nokspos:No, I have gone far already. Whatever is left is left for God to handle as far as He wants. |

OP, you are dumb. Thank God this post didn't make frontpage. I have seen children from broken homes who are responsible. I have seen single mothers raise incredibly wonderful kids. I have seen criminals who were raised by both parents. What is your point exactly? You are very judgemental! Jeez! People should be judged by the contents of their character, not this rubbish you just posted. |
| Re: Men & Marriage - How To Pick Your Wife! by nokspos: 8:30am On Jul 04, 2021 |
i'm not jobless why should i stock you, your idea of being a real man is not perfect. you already broke one of the code of being a real man, you didn't fulfill your promise and called off a date a day before an appointment even when she had given you constant reminder. you called it off just to prove that you are a real man. and we all pray to have a female child iLegendd: |

BinamRex:Are you a product of a single mom or currently a single mom? I don't deal with outliers. I deal with the majority. The statistics are there for all to see and review. While there maybe a few single moms who change the course of their situation, they make bad parenting decisions and are usually not good spouse. You don't have to argue with me on this. My advice is for young men considering marriage to avoid pitfalls. Most young men do not understand how to pick their partner. As the world continues to condemn traditional values and pick up liberal idiosyncrasies, you find young men pairing up with the wrong women for the wrong reasons. There are three things that define an individual - Their family, Their food content (which could defined their body structure), and the environment. Family and Environment are extremely vital in how an individual reason and adapt. For example, an individual from a poor family in a poor environment would need a miracle to break the chains of poverty because everything around that individual is poverty. |
| Re: Men & Marriage - How To Pick Your Wife! by Boss13(op): 11:59am On Jul 04, 2021 |
patwilly:Though financial due diligence on prospective in-laws is crucial, but other factors should be reviewed. For example, what is the power dynamics between your fiance's father and mother. Who makes the key decisions in the home. If other siblings are married, how do they treat their spouses and how often do external influences creep into their homes. During social gatherings or celebrations, who wedges more control and influences? How do you elicit these information - through interviewing your fiance about how parents and also through observations when you visit the family. You must do these things, analyze them before you make your decision else you will regret your marriage. |
