@dancoded01 said: Don’t marry anybody who feels that taking permission to go out from you is imprisonment ,never marry anyone who needs social media validation for everything they do, and lastly, if she is a fan of blessing ceo that is a ground for divorce.
@desmondAlake: If you know you’re sex freak marry someone like you don’t go to marriage and say you will change her or whatever.
@damilola_talks; Same way if you like slim women marry her, don’t date a fat woman and expect her to lose weight when you’re married to her.
@yimeditate who just gave his opinion said: “Regrets in marriage, you ask? Well, strap in, single lads, for a dose of cold, hard truth served with a side of sarcasm. Marriage, that blissful union where you find out your soulmate snores like a chainsaw and has an inexplicable passion for reality TV. It’s a magical journey where ‘I do’ often turns into ‘I did… what now?’
My advice? Remember that ‘for better or worse’ is not just a catchy phrase; it’s a legally binding contract that includes in-laws, shared bank accounts, and debates over the correct way to squeeze a toothpaste tube. So, before you leap into the matrimonial abyss, make sure your parachute is packed with patience, a good sense of humor, and maybe a prenup. Just in case.”
@drackfel: “Never marry a girl from a poor family. If you do, you’d take responsibilities from her parents and that would make you stagnant financially. If you are rich, marry from a rich family. Forget nollywood fake stories.”
@MrVince911 chipping his own opinion said; “Don’t even get married.. Have kids, make sure your kids don’t lack anything.. Enjoy yourself. Travel on vacation. Live everyday as if it’s your last!”
@Valencia_cute5; “MARRIAGE is a MINISTRY of all OFFENSES, so you must be a PERMANENT SECRETARY in FORGIVENESS DEPARTMENT, with a PHD in UNDERSTANDING, MSC in LOVING and BSC in TOLERANCE.”
@SelomSarl: “My only regret after 12 years of marriage is that the church blinded my wife, and I tried to warn her but she wouldn’t listen. She was deeply involved in the church, unaware that some African churches harbor evil forces, including witches and wizards, who seek to destroy. It wasn’t until they set her up in Redeemed Church and she lost our only son that her eyes were finally opened. Unfortunately, many Nigerians remain unaware of the evil that lurks in 90% of churches, and I wish I had succeeded in saving her from their clutches sooner .”
@SelemSarl continues by saying, “Based on my life experiences, the only advice I would give to young people who want to get married is to marry a lady who is not only educated but also willing to listen and communicate effectively. Mutual respect and open communication are key. Forget about material wealth and external influences; focus on building a strong foundation of understanding and active listening. When both partners truly hear and understand each other, success and prosperity will naturally follow. Remember, a listening ear is the greatest asset in a successful marriage.”
@Dele93748586: “Patience, Patience, Patience: As the old saying goes, “Patience is a virtue.” In marriage, this is especially true. It’s like being a gardener – you can’t rush the growth of a beautiful flower, and the same applies to a healthy relationship.”
@OpenMindIsKing: “No regrets. Just married someone that has the same vision, values, goals & inspiration as you and you will be fine. Remember looks fade away eventually.”
@iamOvih: “When your wife tells her mother everything that happens in your home, expect constant chaos. Until she learns to be a woman and not a child, don’t make the mistake of getting married to her.”
@MasteryOrder: “Marry young to someone you love. You want to build a life together, not separate from one another. The right spouse will push you to the stars and you should do the same in return. Build a foundation based on trust, character and reciprocity, and learn together to fight for one another. Everything else can be built on this.”
@Osaize1: “Never allow your wife to play your role as the husband. Especially when it comes to money. If she spend her money for the children school fees refund it back. If she spend of rent, refund back. Your money is our money and her money is her money. Read that again.”
@JayHovaxxx said: “Two things. 1. Love is not always enough. 2. Men are not wired to need your conventional love, they prefer respect, they want to be in charge. They translate respect as love. While women translate attention and responsibility as love.”
