I have one as friend whose son is almost a teen now..I discovered she a stubborn streak and unnecessarily argumentative and opinionated for a gal that's even uneducated,that's a lot of baggage.. I have lesent that the best thing about Ladies is their smile..any other thing is left for actual experience.. don't ever assume you know everything about them..like some men do...and finally 98% of them usually learn through the hard way before calming down

What about a case where they both spent equal amount for the marriage ceremony or that the lady even brought most of the money...can she drag rights with him then?

Marriage is not actually about following set principles or living by the book. Both parties need to love and respect each other and find a model that works for them. Upbringing also affects marriage. A man that was brought up in a home where his mum had no say will shut down his wife when she tries to speak.

People need to shine their eye and look at the person they are marrying...if they can work together.

Women should not marry a guy they cannot respect. Men and women are joint heirs and equal in God's eyes but one still has to submit to the other. One is the head and one is the neck. The neck and head never fight for control.
Its also about living by the book even as the bible wrote it. Here we are telling the exact reasons why many men abandon their wifes and so much baby mama and instead of learning whats the men are sayin is or will likely drive them to this thing you are more inclined to running around it. Even with imaginary scenarios which are more of remote exceptions than the norm. No man is interested in right dragging or equalization with wife. That's not what he married for. The neck is below the head and anyday it tries to be equal with it, there will be problem.

You just typified what many men have been saying on this thread with this part " A captain in a ship earns the post ". Why earned? Why settle in a relationship where you can't respect freely? You're posturing, and locked in combative mode even without a fight? This is the belligerent and contentious culture permeating the minds of many ladies that makes them remain single. Many of you folks just don't understand what a man's inner soul yearns for, i feel sorry for you.


No one licks honey and spits it out, the same way no sane man will dump a good lady,failed relationships can be grossly attributed to bad character of the female no matter what anyone says. Even God in his infinite wisdom through Solomon clearly states " A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish one tears it down " negative vibes and energy like the one that emanates from it should be earned will only push you into divorce. If you can't respect a man without a basis for it, remain single, it's not by force to accept proposals.


Chillychill, what do you think about this?

It will be better you take heed to the advice you read on this thread now that the day is young, you're on a path that only leads to sorrow down the line. I've met hundreds of unhappy women and all had the time to work on themselves while they were young but refused, i hope you'll listen. I won't take back my word about " female lawyers ", it's how it is. Even the ones that are not lawyers that are contentious are single and miserable not to talk about female lawyers
No I don't plan on heading towards that direction in the first place.Your perception about female lawyers remains your opinion some women have had happy lives with that field and are doing well.And please don't try to pray for such next time I may not know what the future holds but as far as Hippolyta is concerned it is bright for he use your own experience to judge yourself we can't all agree on the same thing and time would tell but as of now I am happy and not on the path to sorrow.

Simply put, the process in life it takes a man to achieve his potential is a daunting one, by the time, he arrives, his soul just want to be pacified, nothing but peace. Because women exert lesser energy physically and psychological towards financial establishment, there's so much unused energy that is channeled into frustrating a man abusing him psychologically and otherwise, at this time, a man wants peace and rest, the woman on the other hand is insatiable and want a lot of things even she doesn't want. My lady, give a man peace and you've given 50% of what it takes to get a peaceful home.

How many % of marriages do we have wifes older than husbands, wifes house the man and wife pay (groom) price not the man?. Talk reality.
We have been discussing reality since and not idealism.Thank goodness you acknowledged such and I am sure the women who do that deserve some level of respect since that is how they earn it in your opinion.And do you as well have the statistics to back that up.I prefer to use some and some women have been doing what I earlier highlighted and they don't come to social media to announce because if she does society would say she is not a virtuous woman a foolish woman and home breaker blah,blah,blah.

A captain in this case is earned by who paid bride price first and foremost. Then, mostly the man older than the wife so why should that respect for a senior just die because ge married. Also house/rent etc are responsibilities of the man. Hence the captain. Why should a woman be the captain how did they earn it?

If no bride price is paid, and the man is not older, and we earn the same income... then what?

I agree with you on your grounds... the woman should borderline worship the man who puts food in her belly and a roof over her head, but if she can meet those needs for herself then should she just stay single?

Respect is earned and it is mutual respect; in my world, anyway.

"Respect is earned " The same problem we've been talking about, if respect must be earned, must you marry? Why date or marry when you will withhold respect?

Many have given men more than peace. They have given love, submission and even financial aid and these women won't saved from heartbreak and sorrow. Men want peace after they've created a multitude of sin and responsibilities, then they demand peace.

In this day and age (our generation) women work and contribute to the home even if it's just keeping up her upkeep because being fine and sexy takes time, money and energy. So I still don't get the male plight. Like you said tho, to accept proposals no be by force.

Look at such energetic release, typical of the kinds of women who are combative even when there's no fight. " rational discussions " atypical of a lawyer, no wonder most female lawyers remain miserable and sorrowful, you see everything through the mould that has formed in your mind in your career training. Like they say, if you see every problem as a nail, you're default response is to bring out the hammer. Learn how to communicative without needless posturing or being on a combative posture, better a word communicated with peace than through strife,you are a typical representative of the ladies this thread addresses
Lol, no one wanna hang around a lady (or man) who is switched on and up for a fight at all times even when there is no need for one. They basically read meaning in even the most harmless of situations, like Chimamanda who got "a little upset" because Hilary Clinton use "wife" in her twitter bio.

This is whole truth. The Bible never gave preconditions before a man earns respect. As long as man(in this case woman) uses sense differing from Bible they encounter problems. Marriage is not law. Thats why many lawyer ladies have problem in marriage. They bring the logic in their profession into a completely different field. Personally i cant marry a lawyer for that. If earning money and paying bills is the main reason to respect the man then divorce him once you can do all that since you wont have reasons to respect him anymore.

[b]There is a parable Jesus quoted, he says a man that listens to my words is like one that builds on a strong foundation, and without notice, the storms come, the winds come and it hits against it but it remains, the other man that doesn't listen is like one that builds on sand, and the storms and wind came, and mighty was it's fall, my dear young lady, in life, " our present state " isn't the reality but a passing phase, the reality is what the process forms through us and pushes us towards. In the house and wind analogy, the two houses looked good for a moment before storm came, it's storms and issues of life that tests our building materials after, not before we construct but after we have constructed, it's at this phase life reveals who was wrong and who was right, which is why everyone can shout on social media for a moment, but a day comes that reveals the quality of our convictions, and it's always in the future, not in the moment, there's time, reflect on what people say on social media even your friends and as life extends, watch whose beliefs and convictions created happiness and success down the line.


Bottomline, to test any notion in life and make it a theory, subject it to time, time will reveal what's right and waht's not.[/b]
