........Yet people get married every Saturday

And at least 40% will have some form of regrets or serious complaints about marriage after 10 years.... that's life... everyone always thinks that their situation would be different even when they do nothing to make it so.

Hmmmm wonderful comment
You have all tried
Am married for 7 years now
With 3 kids
One thing I know is marriage should not only based on Love but on purpose which is to grow together in everything

One of the vital things a man must work on in a marriage or about to is His ability to handle Situations or Anger

No matter how humble and submissive your woman might be, days will come that you will or she will provoke you ... Yes sometimes the man cause it without knowing while sometimes the woman do
So your ability to control yourself will always push you ahead
2. Don't keep grudges in your heart as a man because it will always come back when you get angry or feel bad
3.in all you do to grow financially education spiritually grow your wife too so no one lacks behind
4.the Respected part is always take her as yourself when you buy cloths for your body always include her too as your body but her own or give her the money to buy
This will make her feel different and glued to you
5.try as much as possible to break all wayward friends she has Yes it's possible not with fight but tactics and time and in lovely manner

Me and my wife do fight too sometimes for a week or so but na for love because I go soon call her into the other room and it ends there
Also note her bad characters so you can help her amend gradually
My little take on it for men

I can imagine the mugu that sits in his car for 10minutes before going into his house all because of a bad wife, dancing on his wedding day, shinning his brown teeth and asking his unmarried friends the most foolish question in this current earth today "what are you waiting for?". One fool who asked him that question when I attended his wedding, I had to return home with the envelope I came with and never gave him shishi.
He is the definition of a finished man. Dead man walking.

Like someone said,pay serious attention'I mean serious attention to your mother inlaw,like one elderly man told me'he said if you marry a stubborn wife and your in-laws are good the marriage will last but if your wife is good and the in-laws are bad,it takes d grace of God for that marriage to last,imagine my wife telling me anything she tells her mother that is what her mother will believe.

Not getting married before 30 is a great regret, scare because of money, yet I don't still have it as I expected. Wished I had married at 25 years old.

You can't know the true colour of your spouse until you get married.

More importantly, just pray for enough resources in the marriage. Money is very important

We should (my wife and I) should have traveled more before having kids.

I love my kids a lot but we didn't get enough time to just enjoy each other's company
Re: Married Men, What's Your Greatest Regrets About Marriage by Adewale1603(m): 3:49pm On Nov 14
What I know is, it's better for a woman to be the one to truly love the man, than the man to love the woman. If I see such, I will sharperly marry such woman, I'm looking for such woman, that will be the one to love me. I automatically love such woman back, even if she ain't that pretty

My greatest regret is that I didn't get married and start having kids earlier. My advice to anyone planning to get married will be do what you have to do and get married before your 30s if your economic situation allows it. There is no fun in waiting for so long once you are convinced you have found the right person.

No fun in having a baby when you are close to 40 or in your 40s
What fun are you seeking in babies

Comment on everything I analysed there and stop erasing others vital points to proof a foolish of your own point.


You are not do urself good by deliberately disinforming others, if you can change a narrative of comment in the open forum like this, what will now open in close context.

I would not be surprised if you a type that Yoruba called "tuletule" AMEBO.

He is right. Love alone done not sustain a marriage as it a mere emotion that is transient. It comes and goes.

1,Marry a woman that loves to keep a home and be married. You cannot keep who doesn’t want to be kept.

2, Marry someone that values your efforts no matter how little and chooses to be with you regardless . Remember , there will always be someone better than you outside .

3, Marriage is a liability, if you have a dependent wife . Your growth will be slow.

4, MARRY SOMEONE THAT RESPECTS AND ADORE YOU . That way, you will have a reason to be selfless.

5, REPEAT NUMBER 4 .
Brilliant comment. There is this lady I want to marry but I'm still in the wooing stage. She blocked me on Facebook and blocked me on WhatsApp always claiming that I don't know how to answer a lady. She asked me my name, what I do and my age and I simply told her to date me and in the course of the dating, she will get to know the answers to all the questions she asked, she got angry and blocked me on WhatsApp thinking maybe I will call or sms her. It is more than 3 months now, I locked up. I can' marry this one in this condition oo.

Most times, bad news make "breaking news"

People like sensational bad news to feed their bais about a topic

There are many marriages out there working and working well. If marriage was as bad as they say, then why do people get married every Saturday like u rightly pointed out....

Marriage cannot favour everyone, if it favours the person fine, if not then move on.

You would not say because fire can burn one's house , one would refuse to cook his food or because accidents happen, you would trek for lagos to kano

I love this part. Epic👏

Next time, read to understand and not to be ist to comment. Everything isn't about emotion , sometimes apply common sense before commenting.

In your rush to comment, you totally ignored where I said "if your economic situation allows it".

Or are you saying there are no peeps in their late 20s or early 30s whose economic situation allows settling down and having a child?

Marrying for love, marrying for beauty, don't ever marry for any of these reasons if you are a single guy reading this, if not you will regret it.


Marry for:
1.) financial freedom
2.) economic growth
3 ) political expansion
4.) business growth and expansion

It is better to marry an ugly or average looking lady with a great career or business prospect that will help you solidify your finances and guarantee a great financial future for your kids than to marry a broke, jobless, visionless, lazy hot looking beautiful lady. I give you two years after you marry that your hot looking supermodel girlfriend, she will be naked in your front and you wont have an erectiøn shocked


Romantic love and physical beauty are not enough reasons to marry any lady, be warned, romantic love is a fallacy cool

Marrying a woman for financial gain is the shortest highway to depression. Women always will rather part with their eyeballs than their wealth.
