debrief08: Marriage has taught me that no one wins an argument or a fight at the end of the day, you just torture each other so it is easier to make up than to carry on with beef.
Marriage has taught me that it is better to be open and honest and avoid silly games and schemes
Marriage has taught me that men are not mind readers, you want something say it and dont assume they will get the signs or clues
Marriage has taught me that the annoying little habit of your partner like making a mess is what makes them special and different.

chaircover: Hmmmmmmm!!! a lot of things.

Marriage has taught me patience and tolerance. It has taught me how to forgive and it has taught me how to talk especially when I am angry. It has taught me how to communicate effectively. I never used to give people second chances and If you offended me I used to bottle it up and stop speaking to you and I could hold a grudge for years but Marriage has taken that from me.

It has taught me not to be selfish and it has taught me the real meaning of the word love. I used to think that love was those butterfly in the stomach feeling one used to feel but I know know that it is a deep seated awesome feeling that grows each day.

having kids has also mellowed me down and made me more tolerant of people because my kids are not perfect because I their mother am not perfect and therefore I cant expect perfection from people.

I also learnt the hard way that you could start off being right in an argument but if care is not taken you could end up being the offender. I learnt that not all questions have answers and I learnt that not all things follow logic. I also learnt that not all battles are worth fighting and the word Sorry is one of the most important words in my vocab.

Kai!!! Ive learnt a lot o! Its true what our mothers say. . . .Ike oko ile eko. can someone translate that for me please.

Well, am not married but what i av understand about marriage was dat is d grooming of two individuals with diffferent family backgrounds dat av different identity but very difficult to know each other characters. But at tymes goes on dey understand each other.
The keyword for marriage are patience, endureance, trust, maturity,courage and the couple shud tried to avoid their matters to 3rd parties.

fellis: All these marriage threads never fail to depress me.
Look at all the sad lessons people are learning. . .
(Try not to change your spouse but change yourself, the annoying habit of your spouse makes them special and different, all that glitters is not gold, be patient and long suffering.)

greatgod2012: Marriage is teaching me to be humble, tolerant, loving, patient, adaptable ,trustworthy and focused. Infact, marriage is a school on its own, u keep learning and learning and learning as much as u are still married, u keep learning, dt is why i did not use "has taught" because im still learning and i will continue learning.

dazzler1:

Are you married? What depressed you about marriage talk/tolerating your partner? Both wife & husband are not perfect.They only need to see strength in eachother's weakness. The more you talk about it,the more knowledge u get.

debrief08:
The annoying habit I wrote about is not a slap or cheating or major things, it things like hugging the remote, chewing like a cow, pouring water on the bathroom floor, scattering clothes, being a neat freak.
What is depressing about that?
