Tunex252:Honestly the level of toxicity is terrible. You wonder how a sane man can live with such toxic beings. Men searching for spouse should be very watchful and prayerful too. |

OyinO:They had toxic marriages bros. A divorced or unmarried woman was looked at with much contempt, scorn and hatred, she was like an eyesore in the society of then and most times called a witch, most women then stayed in toxic relationships rather than face the disgrace that may be brought upon her and her children by the society, remember to that those times men freely beat their wives, so don't compare then with now. It is not by force to be together now. |

kapelvej:The writeup clearly depict all of of it, so don't just refer this as an ordinary mere story. It weigh more than you can imagine. Other woman can grab from this writeup, same as the men. It's just that some things done in private also play a big role in ensuring a long lasting marriage. A person with the Sobriquet "Femsyn" has a lot to contribute to this. Shalom! |

No two marriages are the same. Each marriage is different You cannot use one formula to give a general review of marriage. I watched an interracial couple that have been married over 60 years and when they were asked the secret of their marriage, the man responded "I do whatever she tells me to do and everyone is happy". They have been together 60 years, with a formula opposite of your perfect couple's formula. Two people make a marriage work, not one person Submissive women have been cheated on and been divorced by men who never appreciated them Good men have been cheated on and divorced by women who never appreciated them Longevity is not a sign of goodness, it could also be a sign of continued abuse. Slavery existed for over 100 years, OP, if that was marriage, would you say it was a successful marriage, just because one party (the slaves), did 99% work and allowed their masters make all the decisions? Pray that you never have to roll over for someone who will step on you all the days of your life, and that you find someone who will appreciate you all the time. And never forget, similar symptoms don't always mean the same sickness. I wish everyone the partner they deserve. |

I am a single and I am at my late 30s, but when issue of marriage arises my heart always beat. I am privilege to have good job with 6 digits salary and I own my house, but the greatest fear I am facing is what I experience from my colleagues marriages on daily basis couple with my jungle life to the stardom. To cut my story brief, I will talk about my colleague who is also my closest friend's marriage to illustrate my fear for taking the bold step. This my friend married a pretty young lady and they started life together from scratch and they were blessed with two kids. Few years later, they built their home in one remote area and they began to live there without any neighbor. The first day I visited them, I have nothing but to praise the woman for developing such audacity to live alone whenever my friend leave for work. As time goes on, my friend decided to allow his wife to enroll for her degree program in order to better their future and the life of their two kids. When the woman finished the program, she said that she is done with the marriage and that was the end. Pastors from their church, family members and friends did everything to find out what went wrong but all efforts to get things to normalcy proved abortive. Few months later, Lawyer brought divorce letter and that was the end. One thing I learned from their marriage is that, for a couple to live together till death puts them apart, there must be effective communication and determination to sustain the union. Till today, my friend could not say this was what went wrong in his marriage and the woman also muted till she sent divorce letter. About my jungle life. I want to say a little about myself and I do hope that the good people in this platform can advise me to kill the fear I have for marriage. I am from a very humble background and none of my parents has formal education. I began primary school when I was closed to fourteen, I was able to foster myself from primary to tertiary institution with the help of farming activities and site jobs. These periods, I encountered several humiliations that I can't share all. The girl I was dating then, said to me open that I should go and look for my wife elsewhere because she could not see any traces of survival from me and she left me for someone else. Five months later, I got an appointment with multinational firm and God has been faithful in all aspects of my life. I have traveled to Europe and some Africa countries too but the phobia of who will make me happy and will not abscond from my life like my friend's wife is the greatest concern am facing at the moment. |

Femsyn:thank you o. I will not hold sway for other women but I will speak for myself. I am this type that serves the hand I am dealt . Most of the men here gyrating on this thread have no integrity ,no transparency,no loyalty ,no consideration to their partners.They move as if their partners are second fiddles yet they want a woman who will kneel down and lick their feet . Yeye dey smell |

kazyhm:Exactly my brother. If a man is happy with with his wife and the wife is not happy with the man, the marriage will survive. BUT if a man is not happy with his wife and the wife is happy with the man, the marriage will not last. |

Cooked up story, don't believe one bit of it. Why; There is no way a couple you said had lived for 40years together and might have children who at most would be in their early 30s have any child who wouldn't know exactly how the parents handle some issues, impossicant. Imagine a 30 year old not know what to do with the money realised from the spraying on a party and even asking what to do like a child. Haba!!! |

Femsyn:you are right my brother. Even the bible said husbands should love their wives. While wives should be submissive. The mans duty comes first before the woman. Am a living witness. Today marriages are full of misplaced priorities. Men this days marry because of what they think a their wives can bring also to the table. "A woman does not add value to a man. She compliments the mans value." God bless us all. |

Femsyn:You are a wiser man You really helped articulate my points albeit more aptly It was the follow up points that saved the OP if not it would'nt have made sense. Not all men crave vain glory. The OP is a woman and is trying to glorify men. The man is the head but they're both equal partners in the union. The old woman is just extra wise and a peace lover |

Dividing the money is a stup!d idea. That's a way of separating what God has joined together. I hope you won't try this with newly weds after their couple dance. You just might break the home on the very day it starts. The senseless 30 year old daughter should also know better. How can you grow up in a family where the wife sees her husband as the head and still go ahead to share "their" money in ratio of 50:50?? No sense after 30 years of living with peaceful parents. That's what feminism does. |

nextlevel2020:Most girls we have now are selfish... once they are empowered or see a better person financially they jump ship. Never pity any lady and marry her because 95% of them are with you just because of the money. That’s why I pity guys that think u can buy love or entice a girl to marry you. Men should run tests on their ladies to see if they are fit. Test her with money. Pretend you don’t have and do it several times. Don’t be a nice guy. Money is number one thing that will guide. Trust me 99% of girls will fail the test in this age of “buy me subscription or recharge ”. Run the test of materialism. Is she attached to material things? We know material things won’t last. If you married a woman using ur car and in 10yrs time u can’t upgrade she will possibly leave u for a better car owner. Our fathers tested their wives or their mothers assisted them. Don’t relied on your understanding. Run tests! I’m saying this because because most of the times men will have a lot to lose than gain if the marriage fails. The girls of this generation have lost it completely and it’s your responsibility to find a good one and leave the rest to roam the streets. The prophecy will be fulfilled in this generation many women will regret later and seek for men to just attach to just to bear his name and they will find none. |
