Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by georgee(m): 11:20am On Jun 14, 2006
Which Is More Difficult To Find In Naija: A Good Job Or A Good Wife/Hubby?

hi guys/babes just want to know your view on the said topic.

Personally, I think getting a good wife is more diffiucult than good job. Definitely there are so many babes out there, but getting a good one out of the lot is almost impossible. I might decide not to get married at all, but just have 1-2 children then no wife.

What do you think?
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by Damsal(f): 12:11pm On Jun 14, 2006
i personally think that guys who are searching for gals keep looking in all the wrong places. You do realise that there are thousands of gals in churches and in offices (those ones usually have jobs). Stop looking in places such as parties and night clubs, not that those girls are bad in anyway they might just really need that drink or want to dance, but a girl you find in a club four nights in a row you might want to over look. Actually i'd over look a guy i met in a club four nights in a row doesn't he have a life. undecided

And about finding a job being easier than finding a woman of course what do you think? we are humans with intellect, finding that right person who thinks on the same wave length as you do is not easy but finding a job in a particular area only requires you to reseach in that area. And about having kids out of wed-lock you might want to reconsider, i know a little girl who always cries saying that she wants her mum and dad to be a family again, do you know what future impact i'ts going to have on her and by the way she's only seven.

Getting a good wife can only be fairly compared to getting a good job that you must hold for the rest of your life. Fortunately, nobody needs such a job: the freedom to move from job to job is always there in a dynamic economy.

So yes, it's easier to get a "good job" than to get a "good wife", but that's only because marriages are supposed to last for a lifetime while jobs are not. A 'dynamic' marriage culture would have been perfect nice if not for the negative impact that would have on children. Why are we all so desperate to get married and have children anyway?

Good Job is more difficult. You can find a good wife when u look in the right places.

Funny thread. Good job is harder to find.
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by sgiwa(m): 4:35pm On Jun 14, 2006
Its definately harder to find a good wife that a good job these days. After all "he who finds a wife finds a good thing". How easy is it to hop from one wife to another? [not easy], but if u loose your job im sure sooner or later you'll find an equally rewarding or a better one.

@ hot-angel
If an employee dies overnight, i guarantee you that his/her employer will start searching for a replacement a day or two after, if the job role is high profiled.
Can that be said for loosing a good wife after all the wahala of catching the right one? No, of course not!!!

@damsel - thanks for ur comment. guys look at the wrong places to get a good wife, u can never get a good one at a party, bar parlour etc.


l beleive it is more difficult to get a good wife than to get a good job. the bible says, he that findth a wife findth a good thing and obtain favour from the lord. so coming across a good wife is a favour from the lord while getting a job can be thru favour from a man.
so it take a man that is highly favour to find a good wife, while it isn't compulsory to be favour by God b4 u get a job. if u are Mike Adenuga's relative or a family friend, u can easily get employed into Globacom.
A job can be change with time, wife is not meant or planned to be change so that tells u what both entails and the consequence of ur choice.

The bible in proverb 31 v 10 says
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

the bible asked a million naira question there, who can find? and l hv answered that b4 now. Only a man that is favour by God. so it takes only a man's connection with God to get a good wife. so it is very difficult to get a good wife in this age because guys are not ready to be connected.

she is worth far more than a good job.

@Damsal, true you might have more opportunities in the church than in the club but believe you me even the church is not easy this days.
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by buddy(m): 7:26pm On Jun 14, 2006
Otokx thats true o!

I heard this story of a guy in a church that got married to another church member, i understand that he was the kind of guy that would leave church immediatley after service, but after he Got married people noticed that he would hang around the church for a while befor going home, when asked what the matter was cos he wasnt looking happy, he said it was hell at home!

i think its easier to find a good job than a good wife!
in fact you cant compare the two.
A good wife means peace of mind in the home,
the wife that makes a home, so really without a good wfey you wont have a good home.

can anyone help us with statistics?
really thinking about this, it could really be relative, i mean too many variables!

A good job is pretty easy to get as long as you've got the right foundations but a good wife, hmmn, I agree with pastor Nosu, it's favor.

You can get a good job from the internet, media, recommendation, or even manage your family bzness but HOW DO YOU GET A GOOD WIFE?
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by Ka: 10:09pm On Jun 14, 2006
I'm surprised that there's any dispute about this.

A good job only requires that you are happy about a few things - pay, work environment.

A good wife requires that you are happy about many things - her personality, religion, physical features, sexual compatibility, social background, attitudes to money, attitude to children, attitude to housework, etc.

So how it can be easier to find a good job than a good wife?
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by bankymi(m): 11:50pm On Jun 14, 2006
ka!you are the one!What else can i say?You have actually said it all.Let anyone who has ears listen to you.
And talking about the right places to find the good ones,the bad ones know those places.Be informed now that they are there lurking around the corners waiting to pounce on you.Don't say i didnt tell you!
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by chinani(f): 12:29am On Jun 15, 2006
Damsel said it all!!! Smart lady! wink

I'm not a guy, so I'd say finding a good man is harder than finding a good job. What makes a job good is the fact that we can leave!!! We are willing to stay for a few years then start our own biz, go back to school or move up the ladder but the promise of change makes it more than bearable. A husband on the other hand is (hopefully) forever. . .and parting ways shant be pretty, so that decision is more troublesome etc. etc.
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by diddy4(m): 1:06am On Jun 15, 2006
i think a good wife its so hard to find. mind u, not everything dat glitters is Gold. someone said offices and churh, well. i wont say it aint possible to find a good wife in those places but i know for a fact dat a woman might be good at her job or in shouting when singing in church but wont be a good wife material. a good wife is not something u see at ones and say **pointing** dats a good wife, nahhhhhhhhh. its with time when u see all d other sides of her dat u agree whether she is good or not.

ones u have a good degree and a good connection, u will get a good job guaranteed. but a degree in womanology wont get u a good wife. nahhhh. its all luck.

kiss good wife
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by superb(m): 7:09am On Jun 15, 2006
it dosen't mean that if a woman goes to church or if she is God fearing that she will necesarily make a good wife.its only that you have a higher concentration of women in one place to study in a church.but a good wife is easier to find.
you need the right qualifications or to know people to get a good job
you don't need that to get a good wife.
even men who aren't well to do can have a good wife.
infact they are even luckier in finding one!

Hi,
I agree with you that getting a good wife is much more harder than getting a job.[color=#000099][/color]
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by noshaking(f): 11:18am On Jun 15, 2006
Good jobs are easy to get as long as you have connection and enough IQ but getting a good wife takes the favour of God, it's not something you get because you have enough connections, good IQ and enough wealth. Moreover, you can leave your job if you get bored but it is not easy to leave your wife either good or bad, you will have to consider a lot of things before doing that.

My brother, shine your eye well well and let God guide you through

Im still asking, what is a good wife? and what is a Good job?, Although without the definition, I can agree a good wife is much harder than a good spouse.

I dont believe we all sincerely have the same expectations in terms of definition, forget the Bible in this case. In reality what is a good wife to you?, and what is a Good Job to you?, and why do you think its harder?

Is it:

Good wife: always available to you, breeding, doesnt challenge you, always have your way, bla bla bla
Good Husband: loads of money, satisfaction down below!, great car, house, fortunes?
Good Job: lifetime employment, 6 figure income, mobility, sit tight, etc,

What you really want in life defines which will be harder.

@Ka; you have defined the qualities of a nice lady, not necessarily a good wife. You only know a good wife after shes changed her name to yours. How he/she accepts and manages your indequancies, how he/she relates to your larger family, how you both grumble about trivialities. Courtship is one thing, marriage is another.
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by hibans(f): 12:10pm On Jun 15, 2006
Well, guys i must tell u all that, u cant compared the two things together. finding a good is easier than wife, lol. In any case places or not places doesn't really matter, what matters is seek God's fovour by praying putting everything in prayer through that i think one can get a very best wife OK.

Seun, i learned u about getting married and why must u talk that way? in as much as ur parent gave birth u, i think they will be glad to see their grandchildren and even, OK.
Re: Good Job Or Good Wife: Which Is Harder To Find? by Ka: 12:24pm On Jun 15, 2006
Bibi,

There's no uniform definition of a good wife - it depends very much on the man who is looking.

But certainly, a man has to be sure that he is happy with all the features I listed in my previous post concerning the woman.

I don't understand why you regard those as the qualities of a nice lady and not a good wife.
