Marriage is not about money or status, it is about true love from both sides; you both can overcome any circumstance. When there is money take care of your wife and children, develop her. Never marry a liability. Money makes Marriage sweet. 5 Likes |

Irupetepete:believe that stupid girl at your peril I bet my balls that she's one single, bitter, mishievious girl under -30 years of age and probably under-employed. No gainfully employed girl or married woman will be so jobless to be displaying stupidity every hour on naira land. I'm sure she'll be reading your comment and laughing at your naivity 4 Likes |

Marriage is partnership and not a master slave relationship. You discuss everything and anything with your partner. Decisions are made and agreed together. Discuss finances, religion and how many kids you want to have and how you intend to train your kids. There's no book for all marriages. You read and tailor it to how it best suits you. Don't marry liability and the things you know you cannot endure or take from your partner... Tell them and make it loud. If you cannot please please just walkway. Dont enter marriage with the notion that he or she will changeor it will get better over time, na there your whala start. Most people plan for wedding and not marriage. You spend your time and money on pleasing people outside..... Give a good show outside so people we will say all is well with the family, meanwhile the husband is a beast at home. Communication and mutual respect is key in marriage. Listen to your partner and take corrections. You will definitely change when you get married. As there's so many things that you will stop doing once you are married. All marriages have their ups and downs. We have our disagreements and we settle our disputes within. No third party. You must learn to apologise and forgive if you want to succeed. I don't mean you cheat on your partner and ask for forgiveness oooo. You have broken the trust in your marriage if you do it. Forgiveness does not mean your partner should forget it either. You have to work really hard to gain your partner's trust again... Some may end up leaving the marriage if they cannot trust anymore.

Akwamkpuruamu:What if you don't have financial control over her, does that mean the marriage wount work? Imagine you both relocate and she gets a job, and gets empowered financially, I bet it the marriage will be in problem. Nacking and cash should not be used as leverage in marriage oh.

occfx: Just have a high stable income and business on the side that will be generating steady income. this will require hardwork which is why I said young guys should strive to build their finance to a reasonable level and invest before going into marriage. |

Marriage is all about communication, endurance, trust and forgiveness ....secret in marriages will break the edge. Over 15 years in marriage, we started in a face me i face you, a one room apartment. My wife came from a 3 bedroom apartment and decided to stay with me in a room where toilets are shared( unbelievable you will say) My wife slept on the floor with me. We set our priorities right, we sold our shares to get a 3 bedroom apartment in a choice area. Now we live in our own house. It has been tough, rough but with understanding and knowing who we are, it's been so far so good. Yes money can be a a factor but it's not enough.. 3 things you need to be a good partner as a man includes the following in moderation Owo(money) Ogbon( wisdom) Oko (sexual satisfaction). Finally the involvement of the holy spirit canot be ignored I so submit 1 Like |

I 've been married for 15 years with four kids. The first 2 years was self -discovery, mutual bonding and threshold limits... why ![]() I left a relationship of 3 years supposedly leading to marriage to propose to a lady I meet under 2 weeks to pepper my ex. I married my wife barely 1 month we met. Thus, the quarrels and arguments within the first few years of the marriage. My gamble eventually paid off cos she is the best wife for me. Neither of us Can even remember the topic of our last quarrel 8 months ago. MONEY DOESN'T MAKE A GOOD MARRIAGE. 4 Likes 1 Share |
