bengreat: Should a wife address her with sir and why if yes or no?

greatgod2012: And what is wrong with it if they are both comfortable with it.

Did Sarah not call Abraham "my Lord"

El Guapo: Well, Am not a fan of the 'Sir' concept. Would only see it get braced by some materialistic Nigerian husbands.

Aint that Silly? ''Sir ve Passed ur meal'' ''Sir u had a Visitor'' ''Sir Can I join In the bed'' Oh!

I wish to enjoy some sort of equality with my wife - equality that'd have defined boundaries. Am not married to a housemaid.

Nothing beats giving ur wife that reassuring feeling that u're her Husband and her Bestfriend, not her husband and her Boss!

k2039: You are very funny and I marvel at the way you think in the 21st Century.
How is Sir synonymous to being materialistic. That you are not a fan doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it.

k2039: And it never occured to you that the husband could be addressing the wife as MA also, and if not, if she os comfortable with it, no big deal. All that happens is her happiness in the marriage and if she is happy, it matters less whether she is addressing him as Sir or not.

k2039: Besides the age difference between the husband and wife could be massive and it could be the wife's idea to address her husband as Sir because she just doesn't feel comfortable with the age difference.

k2039: If you want some equality with you wife, if she addresses you as Sir, address her as Ma, no problem, equation is balanced that way.

k2039: Pointless, my best friend male addresses me as Sir and I address him to back as Sir, that's how we address everyone, we have accustomed our self to it. So does that mean we are each other's boss.

Addressing you husband as Sir just signifies respect and if the husband respond back as Ma it signifies mutual respect.

k2039: Haven't you head of husbands addressing their wives as 'mummy wa' and wives responding bac as 'daddy wa'
Whatever works for each family is what they should adopt, that you don't like it doesn't mean is wrong.

k2039: For the records, I prefer calling my wife by her name and she also calling me by my name.

k2039: El Guapo, Do you reside in Nigeria(my guess is that you are outside it shores).

Well, I was born and bred In Nigeria, though i've tasted the western Life abit too.

One thing Is phenomenal about my Nigerian personality, I refuse to think Nigerian - Such mentality leads one to an early grave

We're too conformed to Outdated norms and Values, its not helping things. Some mantras have to be paid less attention.

Marriage Is supposed to be an institution where a two would be on same level, drifting away from that Philosophy would only make for what I deem an 'Unbalanced Union'.

God bless whoever Initiated the pet names In marriages.

yellowpawpaw: its more of a cultural thing bc u will still c d same woman addressing every other grown up male as sir. Infact I was always ashamed whenever an elderly person use such title for me.I've talked and talked.found out its inbreed.I hv even joined.there is nothing wrong with it although I've seen some men that super impose it on their wives to do so.

byvan: There is just something silly about it,i suppose the sir also applies during lovemaking.This is 21st century joor,the sir thing just doesn't fly it for me.

byvan: My sister follow me imagine the sir kpekusing scenario, e dey casted nah@Bukatyne.

bukatyne:

You eh! what took your mind there?

'sir, take it eassy! Daddy wa, daaadddy waaaaaa, DADDDDDDDDDY WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'

kulyie: As long as it is mutual,that's cool.whenever my dad calls my mon,she says sir and whenever my mom calls my dad,he says ma.its only when its not mutual and the respect is not mutual that I will have a problem with

armyofone: lol my mom too.
You will hear them:

Dad: Dear
Mom: Sir
Mom: Dear
Dad: Yes

I stopped answering sir when I left naija. When I visit and he calls me, hauwa, I say yes dad
