It depends. If he loves her. . . |

omomakun: I'm saying that what we are practicing now is "forced monogamy", it is a scam. In the olden days, marriage was not this torturous. In solving the problems arising from polygamy, we created a monster! I remember a story i read about a particular rodent that became uncontrollable in Australia. This rodent constituted a menace as pest. So one day some smart dude thought about introducing a particular snake that feeds on these rats. Well, one day the population of the snakes boomed and became more uncontrollable and more dangerous than the rats! ![]() ![]() Same with marriage here. In igbo part of Nigeria, the problem of female abuse in marriage which monogamy was introduced to solve, was easily solved by the woman simply packing her things and moving in with another man who would then pay her bride price again. No need killing a fly with a sledge hammer. Today, some oyibo people de marry up to 8 times before dem die! Abi dat one no be polygamy? |

vivaladiva: You see the fundamental flaw in this new marriage definition? ![]() ![]() ![]() You are talking about marriage as if it is some kind of social outing where you decide whom to sleep with and for how long. ![]() ![]() ![]() That is the flaw in your logic. There are children involved! ![]() It is interesting to get this perspective from a female because I as a man am baffled by how a woman can file a divorce alleging "irreconcilable differences" after 2 -25 years! Why did you then accept to stay for better or worse? Why did you base your marriage on "love" when infact it is on convenience (sex, money, fame), all transient things that fade? Why not say it from day one the you are looking for someone to have 5ex with for 10 years? That would be more honorable, wouldn't it? You see why I say it is a lie crafted by one "woman wrapper king" in Europe to worship some "fair lady", and then passed it off as God's law? ![]() ![]() I'm saying this, there is something fishy about this current scam. Our forefathers had genuine marriage. This one is fake! |

Mr~Cork: and I wonder why men don't seem to see these things coming. women do! they hardly pick the wrong date. and they always set their bars very high, that way, they don't ever lose. it's alright, i'm only saying that people should face the facts and forget about all these "love" lies. our forefathers married without love. if you are strong enough to work in the farm, you must be able to produce strong kids. end of story. ![]() |

Mr~Cork: lol! not related but i understand. mehn i wonder how marriages became traps for men. i've seen too many guys invest all their life's resources on a woman only for her to turn around and act as if the guys are fools. i started thinking about it, and i remembered that our forefathers never even lived in the same houses with their wives. the wives lived in their own houses, and the man only went there on "action days". these days, you live and breath your wife. the result it that you become a woman without even knowing. ![]() to add insult to injure, she'll even tell you that you are not man enough. ![]() how can you be man enough when you share her bed during menstruation? ![]() ![]() |

everything God created is perfect. Did God create monogamy? God's things work whether we like it or not. example, the rain must fall whether we sin or not. Everyone must die whether a sinner or righteous man. Even a mad woman gets pregnant provided she is fertile, it doesn't matter that she's been sleeping inside garbage dumps. those are how God's things work. how can people work so hard to keep a monogamous marriage, yet they fail after decades? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() something is wrong somewhere! |

okay, hear me out: I think today's definition of marriage is a lie and fake. Forced "one man one woman" marriages are lies and ticking time-bombs. Each time they fail, they destroy this world one bit at a time. For every original, there is a fake. Marriage as designed by God is not the same as the one we've been introduced to by the devil and his agents. Ask yourself this: Why do half of all marriages in western world fail these days? Why do we see men and women swear oaths to each other, only for the men to start cheating almost immediately after exchanging vows? ![]() ![]() Why does this happen even in marriages involving the so called men of God? A pastor I know was divorced by his wife after 24 years of marriage! Is that God's design? Why are women these days increasingly promicuous? If we conduct paternity tests on Nigerian children these days, we may find that about 10 -40 % of kids are not by the supposed fathers.I could be wrong but i doubt it. Why do we still pretend that this strange definition of marriage works? If you look at the bible, all the men who were closest to God all had multiple wives. Where did this idea of one man one woman really come from? I'll tell you where -the devil. The devil wants to destroy the human family in order to avenge man's elevation by God. For every good thing God created, the devil created a counterfeit. Marriage is one of them. Our ancestors were polygamous and yet enjoyed normal lives. They had intact families and children were secure in families. Today children are born out of wedlock and even those born inside wedlock lose their families to divorce. Did GOD design one man one woman? If he did, why is it not working? ![]() It is clearly not working! |

tell her you've lost your job and you are broke now. She may not react immediately but be patient, she will eventually after you ask her for money a few times. women just can't stand supporting men, ironically we support them naturally. i could be wrong and there could be this 1% out there that won't bail on you if you did that. |

jealousy is not a sign of love. it is a sign of selfishness. the jealous lover worries about what s/he might lose instead of what the lover might gain. for men -ego. for women -pride. nothing loving about either. love transcends both. |
