megareal: Since you want him to softpedal on being the head of the home(a position which even places more burden on the man) ,would you also tell his wife to softpedal on her financial demands? Because if you don't agree to him calling the shots and deciding what goes, then the bills must be shared (trust me, no sane African man will allow a woman take decisions for him when it comes to matters like this and he's providing everything 100%) |

Elder001: heheheheheeeee ....I'm amused o!. Sha you have forgotten that a lot of women work and earn a lot these days ni. Many(not all) share bills with their husbands already. And trust me, the "women" I refer to here can meet their own small-small needs too. They do not have to wait for their husbands before they buy stuffs for the home. One of my "mummys" does not even allow her husband buy anything foodstuff..she handles it all. The man does other stuffs. Also, are you saying that its only when a woman shares the bill that she has a say in the home? I just want to be clear ni o. No offence intended. 1 Like |

megareal:Stop blabbing pls! Do I look like your so called friend? Is he me? AM I him? I am not interested whether your once upon a time so-called Alpha male wannabe turned kitten, it is his business not mine. If you have any shred of idea about me you will know that I am strongly opinionated and I don't lobby with my ideology. So, stop making yourself feel happy! Family FIRST and always! |

Elder001:I don't know of others but as for me, I will not surrender 1% of my authority to my wife even if I am to keep 99%. I must exercise 100% authority! Same way I won't allow her surrender her 1% authority to the kids, she must exercise 100% but must recognise the Big Boss ! She will know her place and be submissive while I treat her right, same way the kids must be absolutely submissive to her while she treat them right! Her place include accepting the fact that we are not starting a new family but we are all part of my family and extending the family tree. That means my family's interest is of prime importance in the home. Anything less, NO DEAL! I rather do baby mama and know that my responsibility/headache is the Baby not the mother of the baby |

Winter4: Not really! A woman should have say in the home but not to the extent of contesting authority of her husband. I believe a woman's worth should be taken advantage of to the fullest for the good of the home but when such woman begins to contest or protest the rights of her in-laws in their own Son's/Brother's home or when she tries to dramatize over certain fundamental issues that has to do with family, then she must be called to order and made to know her place. Like I posted days ago, my family is my family for life, my nephews/nieces are my kids as well (not that they are like my kids), my parents and siblings are my parents and siblings for life, and they enjoy UNRESTRICTED/UNREGULATED access to my life and my home. My wife must understand, realise and accept this fundamental FACT! |

TonyeBarcanista:Hey bro it isn't by force to marry because from the way you speak everything revolves around you. Marriage is a union of two people. If you feel the only way a wife can be submissive is totally accepting your words without questions. I say hmmm. Remember before submission, the bible gave mandate for husbands to love their wives as christ love the church. Please read about Christ's love for church and gave himself to the church. Read with understanding and not sentiment. I wouldn't have quoted you if u didn't say you are a Christian. 2 Likes |

mylove4him:True, it isn't by force to marry and FALSE everything doesn't revolve around me but I also know that I cannot shut out my own blood out of my life or start restricting/regulating them just because I married one lady. Marriage is a union of two people. If you feel the only way a wife can be submissive is totally accepting your words without questions. I say hmmm.Marriage is a Union of two families not two people, otherwise, we wouldn't bother seeking endorsements of both families. Remember before submission, the bible gave mandate for husbands to love their wives as christ love the church. Please read about Christ's love for church and gave himself to the church. Read with understanding and not sentiment. I wouldn't have quoted you if u didn't say you are a Christian.Do you know what love is? If you know what is and if you are a Christian you will understand the meaning of "brotherly love" that Jesus preached. You will understand that Jesus married the Church to God His Father and Holy Spirit, He didn't marry the church exclusively. Same way I marry my wife into my family and not exclusive to myself. And submission means loyalty, I, on my own part will show love and care BUT she must not contest my authority with me nor try to misbehave when it comes to my family. She must be a virtuous woman |

TonyeBarcanista:I understand all what you are saying but I must warn that you don't expose your wife to undue family pressure. Yes if you have an understanding family there is nothing wrong in you running this kind of home but you have to thread with caution. My marriage almost went soar because my hubby has your mentality but I must tell you from experience. You may be a good man with good intentions but you can't vouch for orders. My hubby is a good, selfless man that goes all out for his family. Before they sneeze he has covered their mouth. You know the disadvantage, they felt he always had so if they come to my house and I am like please let's manage. It looks absurd cos they didn't believe he could be looking after them so much and I am complaining. So they felt I was the issue. So please before you tow that lane, make sure you protect and shield your wife. Don't ever think because you are a good man every other family will be good. It is just an advise. |

mylove4him:Good! I know the kind of family I'm from. My wife is covered but she must not make any attempt to create a wedge between my home and my family. She mustn't! It is highly unacceptable! She's safe and protected nevertheless |
Re: In Need Of Advice From Experienced Wives, Mothers, men Or Couples by mylove4him(f): 3:00am On Sep 18, 2018 |
TonyeBarcanista:No one in their right senses creates a wedge unless the woman has witchcraft spirit. It is the things that has happened in the course of the marriage that people might interpret wrongly. I still insist that you shield your wife no matter how good and sincere your family is, so you might not be able to read everyone's mind. I have seen kind gestures and comments being misinterpreted. Everyone is not well read like you and everyone can't think like you. So if you can sieve the good ones and endear them to your wife and shield her from the bad ones. You can't tell me everyone in your family is 100% saints. 1 Like |

NoToPile: I know a woman who has a husband like him. After their marriage the guy started giving funny laws, stop talking to your family, delete all your Facebook friends except five or six stop working so that you can depend on me and I can control you totally. When the wife started showing him the true definition of frustration and misery in the house nobody told him twice to undo his selfish laws. The most annoying one was the one about cutting her family off. So her parents that suffered to train her and spent millions to make her the educated, refined wife he wants to marry should just be discarded and abandoned like they are nothing. Shoro niyen? |
Re: In Need Of Advice From Experienced Wives, Mothers, men Or Couples by Nobody: 7:51am On Sep 18, 2018 |
Avoid husband's relation, if you want your marriage to last. You can help them from afar. No matter how good you are.,it will eventually affect your relationship with your husband. Don't rub it in his face, just maintain you don't need someone younger. 4 Likes |

Thanks Ma'am for the advice...What about ones Mum In Law? Can she visit frequently? Yes, she can visit. No matter how close or in love you are with your husband,avoid issues with his Mum or her siblings, if not, they will ruin your marriage.if she visits often, don't complain but always pray for the grace of God to handle her properly. It is won't be easy for you. |

Couples should bond together before bringing in a third party into the home.It's better for you to leave the girl with her parents or else she may end up leaking your family secrets to extended family members. 1 Like 1 Share |

babythug:Well i have come to update this thread after a year. The lady came registered her in lesson which she took for granted. go today, tomorrow she will tell you she is not going. Started making bad friends for just the short period she stayed. She came with tattered clothes and rags as pants. Got new sets for her. A big tin of milk i get she will finish it within two days. note this is something she cannot even eat at home. I talk and talk, shout, advice but she wouldnt listen. She will say im sorry ma i will say no problem this is food you can eat as much as you want but please food must not waste people are hungry outside...The people around even noticed her misbehaving and adviced me. well me i pity people a lot. After one Month she stayed, hubby told her she is going back home she was crying didnt want to go again. Begging to stay back as for me, my mind was made up. Baby is doing well in creche and since she left, her mum only called me once to say thank you that her daughter is refreshed...the girl in question is not smart to even carry phone to call me and say thank you ma. Anyways all i did was for God i didnt do anything in order to get help in return. It is God that rewards..... I asked her why she want to stay back she said her mum always tell her no money and that to eat is a problem. well i had pity on her but my pity should not put me in trouble. she is better off with her parents, she is young and will decide on her own when she grows up. In all, i say thank you Jesus... 1 Like |
