I have learnt to not try to change my spouse but to change myself if I really desire a change. You are welcome to share yours. Only serious contributions needed please. 5 Likes |

I'm not married yet,but if their is anything I have learnt from marriages around me is that; 1)Divorce is predictable 2)Many oaths taken and promises made before marriage will just vanish with time 3)Love alone is not sufficient to have a prosperous marriage 4)Take your time to know somone before you marry them,because marriage doesnt change people,it reveals people(like my mum will tell me,marry your best friend) 12 Likes |

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. 13 Likes |

That a natural man cannot love but can only lust. A godly man can love because love is of God. Love has deep-seated meaning devoid of deception. You give,give,give,give,... all forever without expecting anything in return. |

marriage has taught me that package doesnt really matter, but what matters most is the quality of its content. and overtime, i ve come to understand that it is better to marry your best friend. Before marriage, both parties should go for total medical check up together. not gud to go into sex before marraige 2 Likes |

It is very clear in marriage that "all that glitters is not gold". |

- Marriage has taught me to almost not think about/take care of myself and focus all my efforts @ making my Wife and Kids comfortable. - Marriage/Fatherhood has shown me why my parents used to behave like they did towards us as kids. - Marriage has taught me not to bicker @ every fault or annoyance & jst let some things slide by for d sake of peace (Patience & Longsuffering). - Marriage has taught me to rely on God more, no man can run things alone. - Marriage has driven me continually to strive for success @ all possible & reasonable cost; cos i cant afford to fail/relax with all these dependants behind me *Sleepless nights & Caffeine addiction ![]() 2 Likes |

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.) ![]() 8 Likes |

fellis: All these marriage threads never fail to depress me. 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. |
Re: What Has Marriage Taught You? by Nobody: 1:12pm On Nov 04, 2012 |
fellis: All these marriage threads never fail to depress me.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? |

Marriage is teaching me to be humble, tolerant, loving, patient, adaptable ,trustworthy and focused.

Patience and tolerance and long suffering It takes patience to be able to live with your wife and tolerance to be able to endure somethings from her. Never to try to change my spouse, cos that's who they are. thought me not to be to quick to jump into conclusions, but rather give my spouse the benefit of the doubt or hear the person out before i start reacting cos, their might be a genuine reason for their actions You can never understand a woman. 1 Like |

dazzler1:I am not married. I am the type of person that likes to solve problems rather than tolerate them. Trying to see the strength in another's weaknesses, (especially weaknesses that are problematic to me or that inconvinience me) rather than eliminating them, might be difficult. But I guess I will just have to learn to do it. debrief08:Ok. Thanks for being specific and mentioning that the habits are not so bad. Except for things like pouring water on the floor or scattering clothes, those are things that would be very annoying to me if he does them and expects me to always be responsible for tidying up after him. |
