I think it all depends girl in question. I hold two degrees in Engineering, not yet 25, and unless i tell you, you won't even guess that. My mum has always told me that a woman's best asset is her character. I personally don't like people who think or act like the world begins and ends with a degree. Good character has nothing to do with a degree, it's just something that you have or you don't. Guys need to be confident and secure in themselves though, and not scamper for 'safety' every time they see an educated girl.  grin

Education puffs some women up. Once she is puffed you gonna have a lot of arguments.

Different kinds of education though. There are academic and feminist. Feminist is the more dangerous one.

Educating women so they can take jobs from men? Why cant the system create feminine jobs for women?

Why do you gotta give a woman a man's job or a man a woman's job? God, man save us from the pagans.

Can this be true?  a girl sent to a school could either  learn good or bad character from school; If Yes, then, it works in both ways, some become better wife materials while some do not, maybe it could be associated to the kinda company they had kept or found themselves in, while in school.
Literally speaking, education helps one realizes who he/she  is, hence brings out one’s full potential, and self actualization.
No wonder in that age and stage in life, a lady can statistically define what she’s actually wanted in a man. At this, she could step on toes as her dicission could put some men in the disadvantageous position.

A good wife depends on what you mean by that expression. I will like to choose a wife that knows how to take care of her home and protect it.

An educated woman makes a good wife by all means, but it doesn't bring along the characters - but it makes some know how to act in public. Education is almost equal to public awareness of some facts that the illiterates don't know, and these notwithstanding, aren't criteria that can make a totally good wife.

If a wife doesn't know how to think intellectually, education may or may not enhance it. One thing I like more about most educated women is that they are opinionated. I clearly understand where you're coming from, poster. Some Nigerian women, not just the educated ones, but the ones who have managed to get out of the country always look down on their husbands; the trend is changing these days and they are beginning to know better.

However, an educated woman will do a man a lot of good. If you're man enough, you'll be able to handle her, and constantly sound it to her ears that two captains can't be in a ship if she's starting to boss you around without respect.

Re: Does Education Make You A Good Wife? by totorimi: 7:35pm On Oct 05, 2009
Education is not the issue its the upbringing, we have some educated ladies that are extremely good, they are God fearing and obedient and respectful. However we still have those ones that are totally bad, their mouth is like viper if you venture to challenge their feminism they will use their mouth to finish you that you will pray the ground opens and swallow you up. They are the shameless ones walking about the streets. If you are deceived by the dressing or cars or their carriage you are done for. Education is never the issue, a good wife is a good wife and a bad wife is a bad wife anyday anywhere. May God save us from the bad ones. The other day a lady stepped out of her car and landed a guy a dirty slap for brushing her car. For Gods sake where did this type of people come from. It is not in our culture for a woman to slap a man in broad day light like that and that woman is supposed to be educated. the kind of grammer she used to wash the whole matter down was anothe thing. to worsen the whole matter when the guy attended to teach her a lesson all the other ladies rained abuses on the guy that he is not a gentle man that he has no manners. What the hell

I think Education tames you and brings u out tamed but when it comes to marriage it is all about ur up bringing.Though Education adds a little to it like like taming ur attitude and so on.My own point is all about taming and just being u.Education helps in ur aproach,the way u relate to ur in laws and the people around u.

It is good to be educated , but that may not make you a good wife. Proverbs 31-10-31 really explained the quality of a good wife.So if you are educated as a lady and you dont have this qualities(prov. 31-10-31).Please forget, you are not qualify to be a good a wife.
Re: Does Education Make You A Good Wife? by chizzyjay: 12:18am On Oct 07, 2009
As a lady this is what I hve got to say,the value of education cannt be over emphasized cos it gives more exposure in certain areas of life,coming to marriage it is a different issue altogether no matter how educated u are but lacking in good manners,etiquettes,and certain acceptable behaviours in general your education is in vain,so that a lady is educated doesnt guarantee her as a good wife.
Re: Does Education Make You A Good Wife? by Anabel(f): 2:47pm On Oct 07, 2009
No not at all, it only gives you a better status as a woman, if you don't have a good xter, sorry wrong one, maybe you go back to your parents house for better training or wait for the next world to come.
Re: Does Education Make You A Good Wife? by jaybee3(m): 2:51pm On Oct 07, 2009
Yes & NO
It's highly important but doesn't necessarily help develop/mould women

education does not make anyone a better husband or wife, frankly our great great great grand parents seem to have done better in that department than us today, and we call ourselves civilized

I think it all depends girl in question. I hold two degrees in Engineering, not yet 25, and unless i tell you, you won't even guess that. My mum has always told me that a woman's best asset is her character. I personally don't like people who think or act like the world begins and ends with a degree.

@chienigma
Maybe you should tell us where you got the degrees before age 25 and where you are from.
I've not seen one humble female graduate in this part of the world.
Despite their partly fulfilled educational attainment, they go about bragging in all forms of manner, speaking and acting stupidly like they were born and bred in Europe.
Have you noticed the new style of speaking English,talking through the nose and stuff?

A degree does not guarantee success in mariage; IT DOES NOT EVEN GUARANTTEE SUCCESS IN businesses because we have seen so many degee holders who run down businesses entrusted to them - SOME OF OUR BANKS' CEOs for instance grin

It (degrees) just gives you an insight and better understanding of your area of discipline and other areas of life (this you can also do without a degee) as the case may be depending on your kind of person you are (ambitous and innovative wise)

It is not only women degree holders that do shakara - men too do that.

The point is that a good, reasonable, kind, understanding, patient, down-to-earth-person no matter how educated he/she is will always maintain those humble and noble traits. The same goes too for snubs and little minds, and other negative people (their education does not improve them). You know why? Changes does not come from without but from within! And this makes the degrees superficial!

What make one a degree holder anyway?

Answer: the CERTIFICATE!

Outside that, we are all equal and the same!

Even some so called degree holders are really EYE SORES when you come close to and hear them talk.

My mother never saw the four walls of a classroom but she ran and still run our home (VERY) well.

On a last note people, Degrees does not put foods on our tables because if it does WE WOULD NOT HAVE SO MANY RETCHED PROFESSORS AND LECTURERS who can hardly feed themselves not to talk of helping others!
WHO ARE BENT ON THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING THEM TO STAY IN THE CLASSROOMS TILL THINE-KINGDOM-COME!

We would not have so many of them working for the so called money-miss-roads.

I should not be misconstrued for not supporting education; No! But education without a good foundation and good character and good business sense is worst than the MOST UNEDUCATED person.

RILE ME IF you want; this is (just) my stance!
