There was a thread entitled 'how i learned to mind my own biz' i cant or i'd rather not trace it ...... that thread spelt out my take on this... to summarize it,it goes without saying that there is only one me (am unique) there is only one her (my wife) n she is unique,there is only one such marriage as ours (its unique i might add).. with this in mind what works for me,for her,or in the best case scenario for us,might not work for u (both singular n plural) even in the most identical circumstances.... if this is the case,i fail to understand what fundah et al are talking about with the men women bullshit..... there is no such thing as men do this n women do that..... its either fundah do this n her hubby fails to do that. work on ur problems as a couple n forget about what other Toms,Dicks,Njunge's,Leonas,wendzs .................................. are doing behind their closed doors with their better\worse halves\quarters\ eighths etc. offcourse am not saying u shud be ignorant but 4 heavens sake mind your biz coz its ur biz to keep ur family together whether u alternate between three or ten jobs at a time to make ends meet. dont expect it to be easy either,its all upon you.

We lose it all together when we generalize the whole concept,if men dont do what women expect of them,why get into marriage knowing quiet well that ur hubby (who is a man) will not do what u expect him to do?


Its just me
whatever choice you make in life make sure that you can live with it.

Why don't we just get rid of these outdated institution? It serves absolutely no purpose...

The men still want many women,and not take any of them home

The women also are now breadwinners

The men want their freedom...

The women want their freedom..

Remain Single!! For everyones sake....

Good people. Men and Women will never be equal. Our bodies are not the same,the way we think aint the same etc.

Lazy men exist,so do lazy women.

Let me tell you guy listen to you wives but make the decision. That crap of I also contribute is just distraction. You are the head whether she earns 10x of what you rightfully earn or not.

Lazy men and women are both a disgrace.

The way things are going this marriage thing is kweli under fire. Mozenrat is begining to make sense.

'...every relationship rests on three legs: accepting,supporting and challenging. That's really it,isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more,to grow,to flourish.....' this is lifted off facebook

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Marriage is not for the faint hearted! you are either inn or you are out! If you are inn just be warned theres alot that comes with marriage/relationships. So Challenges are there and sometimes they can be way too tough,so if you are weak and throw inn the towel its understandable we all have different levels of tolerance. It all points back to why you are with the person in the first place? only you can answer that

a study on how many separations occur not that long after after mama has been promoted to a big post with a big salary that resembles a telephone no. ( and in some cases even includes pet allowances,inter alia) would be very revealing as well.

Could be flexing of new financial muscle,or shift in control/power...but something snaps in the descendants of Eve,which the man comes to realise when he hears the 4 words...'Honey,I need space.'

@All,
there are no lazy men. He is either building the nation by supporting microbreweries or discussing how to end global warming at the local.

Having said that,and consistently with the topic here,marriage is like school. You get into it knowing nothing,its up to you to learn from basics to PHD. Most of us quit the 'school' after kindergarten. The biggest threat to marriage is money.

Ever wondered what kind of marriage a blind man and a mute lady would make?

I have not been following this post so forgive me if I repeat anything since I can't read all the replies. Marriage is not really under threat even with the divorce rates rising and people 'staying in bad marriages'. There is a psychologist who says that there are never really new problems it is just that the old problems mutating....kitambo guys used to tolerate each other nowadays guys are liberal....two sides of a coin....

Anyway I think the reason someone comes in really matters...most guys get married for the wrong reasons....sijui the lady is pregnant so they are getting married for the kid...sijui someone is too old and time is catching up e.t.c. e.t.c. Then we are at the era of instant gratification,so guys can't persevere sorting out issues with their spouses culminating into a lot of drama.

A guy's circle of friends is also really important and that's why some guys will tell you that marriage is great while others will say that there is no




real love

I surround myself with guys with very very healthy,happy marriages where you can even feel the love from a distance...I also enjoy true and real love ....

This is like a whole topic but I will just finish by quoting Ephesians 5


Wives and Husbands
22Wives,submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,his body,of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ,so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands,love your wives,just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy,cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word,27and to present her to himself as a radiant church,without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,but holy and blameless. 28In this same way,husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all,no one ever hated his own body,but he feeds and cares for it,just as Christ does the church&mdash; 30for we are members of his body. 31'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,and the two will become one flesh.'c] 32This is a profound mystery&mdash;but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However,each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself,and the wife must respect her husband.



Acts 2:38: 38Peter replied,'Repent and be baptized,every one of you,in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
