‎Well-researched, and in fact well written article. Well done!

But you didn't classify the age ranges properly.


It should have been:

17 - 23
24 - 28
29 - 35
35 - 40
40 and above.

The best age range of ladies to go for if you want a healthy, awesome relationship/marriage with little‎ or no drama is 29 - 35yrs range.

24 - 28yrs range is also okay but anything below 25yrs is a suicide mission!

Once again, nice write-upsmiley
On point

RomanceThe Different Ages Of Unmarried Ladies And The Way They See Romance. by Toks2008(op):
This does not apply in every case but this holds true in most cases.

[size=13pt]1.Age 18 to 23: [/size]
This set of ladies still believe in the Romeo and Juliet type of love.They don't consider money as a factor for love and when they love they do fall deep in love because they tend to be highly irrational at this stage of their lives and will not even mind eloping with you. Ironically they usually frolic with guys of very close age proximity as they are more at ease with guys of close age gaps.At this age,they still get wowed by a guy with 6packs and will gladly dump a rich dude for a man they desire. Don't ever discuss marriage with this set of ladies but they are ready to explore with you and have flings without serious commitment.

[size=13pt]2.Age 24 to 29: [/size]
At this stage, the reality of life begins to set in as many ladies in this group are either graduates of tertiary institutions or of a tech school. At this stage, they are beginning to realize that love is not enough and the harsh reality of life will make them have a rethink when they see a super hot drop dead gorgeous broke guy approach them. While this set of ladies still desire good physical attributes in a man,6packs and cuteness is no longer a must have for the guy that is ready to win their heart but the guy should show them his readiness to help them with some financial burden especially those from not so rich background.Marriage to them is something to think about without so much desperation.Guys who have nurtured romance with this set of ladies from their earlier ages stands the risk of losing them to other guys if they don't measure up to their new perspective of romance.

[size=13pt]3.Age 30 to 40:[/size]
This is the age group many ladies don't wish to be and still be unmarried. Most ladies in this age group will try to hide their desperation but deep inside, they really want a man to be their significant other. At this stage they really do not place any emphasis on money or even love but just to have a man to settle down in matrimony with. Do not go near this set if you are not ready for a purposeful affair. This set of ladies have grown in wisdom and you will hardly hear them talk about wanting a tall,cute....but at this stage, a GOD fearing man with a vision who is ready to settle down is their choice.Unlike their younger counterpart,this set of ladies are ready to build a life with a man.

[size=13pt]4.Age 41 and above:[/size]
Your guess is as good as mine.

Just negodu there and stop showcasing your shallow understanding of the scriptures

Do you think I just write things from the scriptures without understanding?

Go back to the thread and read clearly what the scripture says about desertion as a viable ground for divorce and remarrying.

Please do me a favor and stop quoting me I don't get involved in beer parlor discussion ..the sripture is crystal clear. ..1 Corinthians 7:15. (GOD'S WORD® Tran slation)
"But if the unbelieving partners leave, let them go. Under these circumstances a Christian man or Christian woman is not bound [by a marriage vow]. God has called you to live in peace".

It takes a dunce to do that.

Below is your quote advocating the prospective bride/groom to go seek REASON FOR THE DIVORCE, from the "Ex".




Why seek information from a 'source' (the Ex) when you are sure the information given will be FALSE and UNRELIABLE?
It simply shows a lack of clarity of the thought process on the part of whoever does that.
No long story, its a dud.
You still need to learn a thing or two about due diligence.

Early Christianity was Roman Catholicism. Other groups were suppressed successfully.

The English bible which you all base your faith on exists because of the church on England.

The Church of England was founded to facilitate the divorce of the founder.

The English bible you know exists because of divorce.

I cannot comment about earlier Latin, Hebrew and Greek bibles.

But just stating how everyone came to be debating the contents of this book. Divorce!!

A historical fact.

How did you ever come about the coloured part?
There are millions of people who found TRUE LOVE in their second marriage, Male and Female, and lived together till death!


BTW: there are things that cant be forgiven, or "forgotten", which makes re-unification IMPOSSIBLE and DIVORCE the ONLY ALTERNATIVE!
For[b] example[/b], Man caught his wife with his Brother!

Also, there are times when a divorce is better alternative than forcing two "mad humans" to live under the same roof!
Although, l think it should not be taken for granted, due to its effects on the children, if any
Only a dummy will expect to hear something good about a prospective spouse from an ex but my point is logical enough...no matter the lies, st least you will have a little clue about some facts and the person will be left to clear the air on the terrible things the ex said.

I still wonder why some people find this difficult to understand...

Employers ask for references and this is a place you may decide to leave tomorrow how much more marriage that is a lifetime thing...Phew!

[[b]what about gambling habits, shameless infidelity acts, stealing and every rehabilitation exercise has proved ineffective?[/b]
Do you know that 90% of women who go into marriages with supposedly bad guys or guys with bad habits knew all along that the guy has such traits but the problem is that they always believe they can change that person.

So the truth is that marriage is not a walk in the park and every marriage has its own peculiar problems and until we are ready to have high level of tolerance,we should not bother getting married.

histemple:
I doubt seriously if you are married because of your submissions herein. The OP is spot on.
There is no perfect marriage anywhere in the world, the happy families you see, are products of continued resilience and tolerance.

First, you must understand that the institution called marriage is under serious and CONTINUOUS attack by the devil. So, some things happening in marriages are spiritually manipulated and can only be understood by married people.

So, if a husband/wife offends the other and he/she is truly sorry, then the one insisting on divorce is either unforgiving or has no regard for marriage. Such person will always have reasons to walk away from subsequent marriage (s).

He rightly captured it when he said "there is a party that isn't willing to divorce". If you are lucky to have a remorseful and apologetic partner who wants the marriage intact, you should be happy and forgiving. Then follow up with prayers.

From experience, the party who is insistent on divorce thinks the grass is greener on the other side.
Brilliant.

Don't waste your time.the stubborn goats will never listen to intelligent advice. my sister almost fell for this. she almost married a "divorced" pastor in the name of desperation. today she is happily married.
As I wrote, there is absolutely nothing wrong in marrying a divorcee but what I advised is that due diligence be done to know why he or she was divorced.

Some people have good reasons for divorcing while some have lame excuses and if the divorcee you are considering marrying falls into the latter category then I will simply tell you to run or stand the risk of wasting your time with such.

Since I have to explain an adage to you. I think its "fair to ask for you relatives to return back the dowry paid for marrying your mom", no insults meant but it is alway spoken like this in igboland before an explanation is given.

I have seen many cases of divorce and know many people that have had one, are fighting one and are currently going through one.
The necessity to meet with or speak to the partner of the person in question is irrelevant and only brings confusion. I know a friend that his Caucasian wife visited him at his base and after a long night of activity and serious all night vigil. She called him the next day after she arrived her base and asked for a divorce.
There are many questions that such actions as meeting the partner can never answer. Divorcee's are not animals or monsters like our Nigerian society likes to portray them, they are human beings with emotions and feeling. They get hurt nust like u and me, they shit, they spit and they get sick. Its only due to human weakness or failure of an action or inaction that have placed them at such receving end. They should not be stigmatized because it but rather be understood.
I could tell u many other examples but with stop here. Its a wonderful topic though. God bless.
There was a time i had a lady friend who came to visit me and she was just yapping about how impossible it will be for me and my ex to just split up after years together and that i must have done her something really terrible,bla bla bla...

You know what i did?

I gave her my ex number immediately and asked her to chat her up and that whatever she tells her is the truth. She took the number and told her that she is my friend and she would really want to know me from her perspective and the chatting began.

I was not even bothered about their chats cos i know that at the end my ex will only blab and that was exactly what happened as the lady was so dumbfounded after chatting up my ex and she said "toks,your ex needs help because she is not making any sense"...and this is just a lady friend talking and we have nothing to do together else i would have assumed she was bias.

Why am i telling you this epistle? Its to tell you that no matter how terrible an ex would like to paint you,even if 90% is a false representation, you will always have an idea of that person which is the most important.

If you know why many people divorce,you will pity the new person who marries them..this is not to say there are no good divorced people but at least try your best to really know why he or she divorced and not just jump in.

Yes ur statistics is very factual cos its what we have to fight with while counseling these people. I agree with asking questions and doing ur discrete research before jumping the broom but thats as far as I think it should be taken. The idea of speaking with the other spouse is wrong and will only bring bias
@ the embolden i totally disagree...there is no bias if you are really interested in the person and even if what you hear is very terrible, at least it will give you an idea of what to do and how to make him or her a better person.

The truth is that this piece also applies to single people...if you really want to marry a man or lady and you can do a due diligence and if possible talk to the ex as the case may be,you will save yourself avoidable headache.
