you've been taking those advice from guys in NL romance section seriously, you can't take your wife's advice serious or you will be seen as a.......(they'll come tell you the word.

limitless777:
She has NEVER been WRONG and I mean it. Ever since we became husband and wife her words of caution and directions have without exaggerations been 97% CORRECT.

From the choice of accommodation-I remember when she told me we should move from IKORODU to Ojota three years ago and it's been a great blessing-, choice of businesses, church attendance, visits to our family members, the children's choice of school, savings and spending models and so on.

Recently and honestly I discovered i've ONLY listened and taken to less than 10% of her advices and that's brought my home and family a very very serious losses.

BUT now I'm thinking and beginning to see that for our-especially mine- visions; missions and journeys to be quicker and easier, I MUST have to start listening to her and do as she advises.

My worries are what was the reason why I find it difficult to follow her guide, advices and supportive words and have to pay direly in severally terrible ways.

I don't know how many of us men are already a victim of this or those who are not but your suggestions will/may be helpful.

thanks.

Most men are that way. . . They find it difficult to accept the fact that their wives, a mere woman, someone much younger than them. . . . Could have better judgement when it comes to running the home.

What you guys forget is that it's not a slight to you, instead it's an asset you are privileged to gain from the sacrament of matrimony. Most women were made to be home keeper, it's not a competition. . . For the fact she's a woman, she's better at running the home than you . . . Women think of little things you men may consider irrelevant.

The voice of your wife is the voice of God. It's nothing to be ashamed of, just the way it is.

People may say you are being controlled by your wife (which is what most men fear anyway) but just imagine the stress you would save if you just did things her way all the time!

The end justifies the means. . .

There's nothing wrong in seeking good counsel, but people shouldn't make it sound like man is a dum.b creature whose relevance and wisdom lie in the palms of a woman.


Just thank your stars you have a good woman. Seriously speaking, some women are dum.b and their counsels are not worth taking seriously. We see them everyday on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

Dude, calm the mess down okay.

The poster is asking for a reason why he finds it hard to accept his wife's advices.... Not to highlight the supposed ills of women.

Seems to me NL femnists has been getting to you.....

Acidosis:



All mind games and coincidence.


His wife told him to relocate the family from Ikorodu to Ojota and he became blessed. I'm sure if he had moved to Surulere, he would have received more blessings.


If someone tells you to change your kids' school from Ikorodu Grammar School to Nigerian-Turkish Academy, common sense should tell you those kids will naturally do better.

SirWere:
Piss poor analogy and hasty Conclusion.

I'm sure there are other incidents that made the OP consider the fact that his wife gives good advices.

In any case, if she continues giving him these especially good set of coincidental advice; shouldn't he at least consider and accept them??

SirWere:
depends.

You can't expect Nairalanders to give you a specific reason without knowing your previous history.

You could have been spurned by many women in the past, or dated irrational females; leading to an unconscious condescendion for women.

You could have a sensitive ego and feel challenged when she brings in better advices than you : you're the Alpha afterall.

You could have been influenced by the torrents of bad news pouring through media and Nollywood movies : You know, the one where the wife's the one that destroys her home for no reason or
"Wife roasts Husband's balls for not acknowledging anniversary" and other bunkum like that.

There are a plethora of reasons honestly. How do you expect NLers to know the exact one

This has to be the most ignorant thing I've read this year.

Ujoan:


Coming from someone who's not likely to ever get married, I kind of understand why the meaning of my post is lost on you.

Why Don2nd leave this thread for real men who are lucky enough to have found a wife!

crackhaus:

How has my marital status stopped your post from being full of scum and complete with wishful thinking?

You wish your husband listened to you more, don't you?
