justwise: Talking about insurance...life insurance protects your family from potentially devastating financial losses that could result if something happens to you. Remember when you said you won't get life insurance because you will setup your children well (something like that), in other words, you are not planning to leave your family in an 'anyhow' state so no need for life insurance, same thing here, I'm not planning for divorce so no need to make such preparations. 6 Likes |

hustla: Hehe... no be even Otedollar.. even down to basic issues. If a new immigrant asks their click about driving tests and their response is something in the line of 'this test is straightforward, you'd be asked to demonstrate what you already know- this is how you go about it...' that persons perception and experience would be much different from a clique where the first response is 'omo that test hard die' A while back someone asked me about ielts, knowing his ability, I told him 2 weeks is enough time to prep. Guy was shocked and started relaying how people prep for months before taking it and still fail. Had to virtually force him to still register. After it all he returned and was like.. this exam no hard finally. Perception is important. 2 Likes |

rinzylee: In all, you are yet to highlight the pros of marriage or means to sustain one. You can't force people to run your desired commentary. Discussions so far have highlighted the laws of the land where we've come to reside. No one is asking married people to divorce. One shouldn't wait for troubles to spring up before learning these. You dont wait for a police officer tell you to use a sit belt. Lastly, you make statements surprising of a medic. Oh doc, I know someone who was severely diabetic/hypertensive but refused medications, I also know someone who was a chain smoker for decades and continued despite medical advise. They both lived healthily to their 90's. OTOH, I know people who took meds and died of disease complications soon after. It's called annecdotes - not statistical or scientific evidence. |

triplo3: Yes and No. Once children become involved, whether you're married or not makes absolutely no difference as the needs of the child will always come first. Secondly, there's something called common law marriage (it's just a social term/slang) but it's when people live together and are not married. If I recall correctly, living together for 2 years or more, gives certain rights akin to being married. The longer you live together, the more those rights become entrenched. If you live together as partners and intermingle your lives, i.e. get a joint mortgage, joint accounts, have kids etc then for all intents and purposes, you'll be treated as a married unit from a financial perspective. To avoid all of these blurred lines, you must have a contracting out agreement from the start so something similar to pre-nup or you keep your funds and your lives separate. It's why single mothers will claim living alone for benefit reasons as once a partner moves in, his income is taken as family income even when the children are not his! The longer the relationship lasts as a joint couple aka partners living together, the more rights you have. My friends have just separated after being together for 23 years (unmarried with an older teen son). Splitting the assets still started at 50/50. Son opted to stay with the dad as the mum is moving back home so the assets have been split 60/40 in favour of dad. They've sold the family home and had to negotiate to keep their pensions. So not getting married is not the get out of jail card people think it is. For a lot of my white friends and this spans all countries I've lived in - they just don't see marriage as proof of commitment anymore and don't see the need for it. Especially where there are kids and a mortgage. You can walk away from a marriage, you can't walk away from child support or mortgage payments or joint debts. So I agree with them - any of those 3 things are a greater proof of commitment than marriage vows. The biggest advantage to not being married is that if you die, partner has to take your estate to court to get something out of it if you have not co-mingled your lives and finances. It does also means you can't make decisions on behalf of the other person without a prior PoA so if for any reason you need urgent hospital care and can't consent, they can't consent for you as a married partner will be able to do. Plus at the end of the day, the lawyers will always walk away with more than you ever think you can hold or protect. So either shine ya eyes and jump in with both feet, or close your eyes and dip one toe in and stay on the side-lines. The law is blind and an ass. It starts from a position of fairness to everyone. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I will keep my focus on Love, sacrifice, patience, humility, kindness and above all God at the center of everything. Anyone who wants to take lectures on how to split wealth after divorce can go ahead. I no dey hold anybody. I understand marriage is a covenant and a huge commitment. There's no divorce in my dictionary. I no dey force anyone to agree with me or stick with my own narrative. Everyone to his own philosophy. Una well done 6 Likes |
