This reminds me of a couple of quotes I have heard before:

First One

My wife and I were happy for 25 years. And then we met!!!

Second One

A certain man had been married for 20 years and a young man wanted to know what the secret was. The young man asked him "What is the secret to your long marriage?". The man answered "We eat out 3 times a week. She eats out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I eat out on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!!!"
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

sometimes I think that arranged marriages are better.


True, they worked! Everyone knew their roles, wasn't about love - I wonder how many men know their roles now after all in this age men are presumed guilty unless proven otherwise then the cycle starts again. When I was a 'newly wed' I used to feel the urge to lie because even the simplest of question my wife would ask sounded like an accusation eg your boy will as you: "Chief uko mtaa gani?" while your wife will as: "Where are you?". Then I learned that that's how women talk.

@2012, Don't forget those influenced by the sabuni's (the bold and the beautiful, Alenjadro and Carina Etc) The picture depicted in these things is one of guys living happy ever after - may be on some beach - Guys driving a nice car, lady just looking beautiful to no end, kids playing on a nice green lawn Etc. Guys think this is the life, forgetting that all this is fake.

Fast forward after the nuptials and these things are no where, instead there are crying babies, schools, work, bosses, and soon guys wonder whether they made a mistake in the first place. Just keep it real and remember you are married to flesh and blood, which can make mistakes. Be quick to let go of grudges/forgive. My two cents...

I am very young & happily unmarried... feel free to judge me harshly.

Love is not a basis for any marriage. It is a feeling / emotion. Like anger, joy, sadness. It exists WITHIN us. It does not exist WITHOUT us. It therefore does no depend on who we marry but on us.

Some things are good for us... some are bad, eg. Tusker, Church, Drugs, Good exercise... we choose which of these we love and enjoy... you may find that you love, hate or find some of these boring. Our opinions will invariably differ.

Some people are good for us... some are bad... we choose who to love & who to be with... we may choose someone that we love but that is bad for us - like narcotics, or someone that we hate that is good for us - like exercise!

I think we can choose who is good for us and then love them... then tell them why you love them & why you married them so that they don't change!

@Genghis, love is actually a verb. Its action - oriented.

I am happily married. I've come to understand there's a difference between what I need to feel and what I need to do.

The key to a a good/great marriage is communication. No communication, you will have problems up the wazuu. People say it all the time but when confronted with issues, communication is thrown out the window pap...Patience and forgiveness very important too..

On another note,in our time, the best place to get a mate was on campus. Most of the guys who got their wives while on campus are still together today.. Koinange Street was not an issue then...

This issue on marriage is one that i've of late found this topic on marriage quite intriguing particularly on why so many marriages these days don't last compared to those of our forefathers. I even tried to get a few opinions on the net and some of the reasons given were;the internet thru porn sites and dating sites is destroying trust, abuse of drugs and alcohol, independence of women esp. Financially, lower moral standards today, etc. I still need to be convinced on what exactly is happening to our society today that has so destroyed the value and meaning of marriage

I'm not married, but I've thought now for a long time that modern people's quest for an equal partner is their eventual undoing in marriage. It is my understanding that equality is an ideological farce that, when achieved, creates chaos. In any partnership, a heirarchy is necessary so as to maintain order. Hence, when looking for a partner, for order's sake you should look for one who's not on the same level as you in key areas, especially finance. Do the more experienced wazuans agree with this point of view?
