A THREAD FOR MARRIAGE DISCUSSION by freecharles(m): 9:36am On Jul 15, 2014
you know people, I'm always scared of marriage. Thank you for asking why? The reason is this:
I get bored and tired of something very fast especially when I see something competing with it. (I so much love 2pac's music I neva tot I cld do without it but the day I started listening to biggie was d day my love for 2pac started going down the drain but not totally sha o grin)...what am I saying you ask again? My taste change often and I tend to loose interest when I see something better (don't know abt marriage yet cos I ain't tried it yet). I see couples stay married for 28yrs (God bless you my popps and mum), 40yrs, 60yrs and more and I couldn't help but ask HOW DEY DID IT.

so married men and women, tell us how u sustained your marriage but for single peeps like me (#throws salute), how do u think a marriage can be sustained?

Also lets talk abt other various marriage issues people

When you keep discovering something new about yourself, you will also discover that you will keep discovering something new about your partner till death do you part.

That alone makes it lively, expecting something new daily. Meanwhile, you must have a strong reason why you want to marry your partner which will also help you not to be tired of him/her.

Here's what I think:

1. 'True love' does not exist. Love comes from appreciating the person over time.

2. Two people living together in the same house forever is going to be tough. They are going to get on each others nerves, no matter how 'in love' they were before marriage. So they should be ready to weather the storms when they come and not give up at the slightest or even major challenges. That's what 'for better, for worse is all about.' That's how our parents had long lasting marriages.

3. I intend to make forgiveness a key part of my relationship with my wife to the best of my ability. Nobody is perfect.

4. Marriage is for life. Don't marry anybody using g deciet or lies or out of selfishness. You'll burn out. Don't marry out of pity either.

5. Get my mom to like her or at least tolerate her(my mom can be a handful grin grin grin). Always have her back when the family is around.

6. Make sure she wears sexy outfit indoors grin Its important to me angry

7. Make sure we settle number of kids before marriage. I want 4 ONLY

Happiness in marriage without getting bored is very possible. Marry a friend, confidant, lover, one you can trust and rely on, share your challenges with, live with each other and for each other. Temptations will surely come from time to time wink but if you are happy with your home and partner, the chances of straying will be very minimal. God help us gringrin

@Op I think for someone that gets bored easily like you, you should go for someone spontaneous.great points 5minsmadness!

Marriage is not as hard as it is. If u meet someone 'SUPER NICE' dun let 'em go cos of the fear of d unknown. Just go ahead n take a dip
Re: A THREAD FOR MARRIAGE DISCUSSION by ahnie: 4:47pm On Jul 15, 2014
to me...marriage z both sweet n sour
it all boils down to understanding,tolerance,forgiveness,respect,good sex ...even averagesex ...and communication.
the bottom line z....you have to be ready to get pissed off by the same person for the rest of your life.
everybody can't marry their best friend...this z where tolerance and understanding comes into the picture coupled with individual differences.

Marry a friend,make him/her your best friend.
Be ready to forgive, never expect perfection.
Grow as partners but never lose your individuality.

Your questions are too generic.

Narrow them down to the barest specifics, man.
Re: A THREAD FOR MARRIAGE DISCUSSION by Meddler(f): 9:29pm On Jul 15, 2014
I appreciate your honesty and since you know this about yourself well don't get married. I know society (especially Nigerian society) frowns at unmarried people but seriously who ever said marriage was for everyone? Remain single and keep tasting all the different flavors out there wink grin. A word of advice- pls make sure you are honest with your partners and let them know you are not interested in any thing long term grin grin
