Mrs, Chima:

Are you sure about bride prices not being too high unless you Igbo?  r231 is not IGBO and he said N200,000 was too small.   undecided undecided

Let me remove bride price and insert "gifts" because I don't want nobody to start crying.  

Is a gift an investment, r231?

A woman/man can be an asset or a liability to his/her partner. The use of that terminology bothers on mere semantics, there is nothing insulting or dehumanizing about it IMO.
Re: Is Calling A Woman "An Asset" An Insult Or An Appreciation? by horny4u(f): 7:56am On Sep 20, 2011
In this materialistic world its easy to box an asset as only a money investment,

the bible says he marrys a good wife - complete the sentence?

When a man marrys a woman who understands him, builds his ego, takes care of his children, keeps his house clean& harmonious with a feminine touch and brings fresh nutritious home cooked food to the table on time.
She is able to receive inspiration and communicate it to him without harming his ego and generally he just feels like superman in her arms whether at night or any time. He knows she will not take rubbish from him but she ain't leaving him to cope with the world alone either. She is kind and gives to charity. She loves people and shres her smile generously then she is an asset.

She runs a business or has a job is a bonus and this is not for the man but for her self, as here she is able to use her mental energy and make a success of herself outside of her home increases her confidence and self esteem and makes her a better woman.

In my opinion one of the most important successes a woman can achieve is a happy hubby and well balanced kids then she is an asset.
Of cos in this day and age being able to succeed materially is very important and as ambitious as i am this comes secondary meaning if i am in a business meeting and my hubby needs me urgently God forbid he is at the hospital , i will end the meeting fast and go be with him , to be this makes me irreplaceable, an asset and J D rokafella has a quote that say next to doing the right thing the most important is to let the world know.

So being an asset to your hubby is not enough, making him realise you are an asset  is the next most important thing , make your self scarce from time to time so he knows you are not his mum for better appreciation.

I don't have any problem with that, if I think the same thing about my partner and as long as he's not offended
But yes, the better is that your partner doesn't feel he's an item

Ladies are fixed assets. U ve to charge depreciation on them yearly, maintenance is compulsory
Re: Is Calling A Woman "An Asset" An Insult Or An Appreciation? by Princek12(m): 12:35pm On Sep 20, 2011
it is not the men's fault that we call some women assets; it is those women's fault who have put a price tag on themselves for the highest bidder. These women demand purchase and maintenance money for their love; so if you are spending all that money an a girl and she is benefiting you in whatever you feel, then it is logical to call her an asset. If she is not yielding any return, then she is a liability.

The last i checked, dictionary definition of asset is a "useful or valuable person"! How would calling my partner an asset be insulting?

Yup. To be real, some girls put themselves up for sale, while some do not. I have met girls from both ends of the spectrum. And I thank God for the gift of being able to treat people the way they are deserving. If you present yourself as a commodity, so will I treat you; if you present yourself as a respectful woman who needs love, I will shower you with not only love but also the material things. At least at that point you know that girl is not just a money-hungry girl.  If you bring drama, I will reciprocate with drama and kick you to the curb.
