What keeps Marriage together is marrying the right person and not factors thereafter in Marriage.

The foundation is the winning factor in Marriage.

Marriage is like a house/institution, you build a house on a faulty foundation then you get a collapsed building.

Get it right before entering into it, if you get into it and start patching it up, your Marriage is then a gamble.

Respect, care, tolerance, etc are all intrinsic to the word love, for if you claim to love then these factors are naturally exhibited.

I am open to marital discussions and advise.
(strictly matured minds)

Dear Nigerian husbands.
I don’t want either LOVE or RESPECT from y’all.
Reason? You are quite INCAPABLE of such basic emotions. Please, stop deceiving yourselves and acknowledge you are not created to give love or respect. kiss

Please, PAY THE DAMN BILLS and TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS. As in 50/50! Simple.

I am fine with that. I can love and respect myself with or without your help.

Thanks!❤️
No married woman will type this undecided

They are 5&6, when it's comes to marriage. Before the love could grow, you need respect.

Let Summarize it.

Loving You without respecting you is rare.

But respect without love is COMMON.

Submission and money


A man sees submission as love

A woman sees money as love
So a woman will submit to a man that disrespect her in Public just because he provide the money??

grin grin grin grin grin..Funny enough there are some guys that very loving and responsible.Its just that they are few and they love people that do not love and appreciate them. I believe some good loving and well brought up guys are available but they are like diamond that we have to look very well .
However, the nuisance and the irresponsible ones are available every where.They are the regulars Joes' in and about town and in churches. Dont worry, Love will come to you and do not let some irresponsible nuisance to make you think it does not exist among Nigerians men.

When you love someone you respect him/her so much

Also when you respect someone, you will automatically love that person.
Re: What Keeps A Marriage Together - Love Or Respect? by KoolBigk(m): 3:46pm On Jun 10, 2020

In a marriage, Love is not enough. When I first heard that assertion, I thought it was untrue. But with recent developments I have found it is true. Ask anyone from a broken relationship if they STILL LOVE their ex, the answer is yes. So if there is still love why are they separated? Simply stated- Love without respect cannot work. Disrespect stifles love in any relationship

[quote author=frozen70 post=90494580]Love is what keeps marriage

So you can stay with the same woman for 50 years even if you don't respect her that much?
You do not submit to whom you do not respect. Also note that respect begets respect and love binds the souls together forever.

Before I can decide to ask you out in the first place, I must respect you and that must be reciprocal. Even if it is a coerced type, I shall pick RESPECT anyday.

I totally disagree with the bolded.

example; You respect someone u work for because he/she is your boss.
work ethics demands so. But he/she might be a pain in the azz that u hate so much.


I think love takes respect wherever it goes, but respect doesn't most times.


Understanding each other is key in every relationship, In addition to getting the right partner who will.

Re: What Keeps A Marriage Together - Love Or Respect? by Danniedpastor(m): 4:06pm On Jun 10, 2020
Ladies and gents, let me shock you.




LOVE DOESN'T KEEP A MARRIAGE.


COMMITMENT AND RESPECT DOES.

Love can begin marriage but marriage survives on commitment and respect.

A time comes when you don't find anything to love in your spouse.
1. It could be in the time of misunderstanding and quarrels
2. It might be a time the make a terrible mistake
3. It might be during extended family issues.
4. It could come at anytime but trust me, IT MUST COME.


This is why people do terrible things to their spouses or even kill then. Then, you are forced to ask... "no be this people dey act Romeo and Juliet before?".


Every home also needs the HOLY SPIRIT to survive. Do you know why?
1 Only the Holy Spirit can keep your home when it is threatened.
2. He reveals imminent attacks.
3. He keeps you Holy... You can cheat if you have the HOLY SPIRIT.
4. The human mind can't forgive but with the HOLY SPIRIT you can forgive and wrong doing.

I can go on and on but no time.

Just play your part as a man and let the HOLY SPIRIT lead you.


GOD BLESS YOU
