Marriage na serious matter, no be beans! When you hear say, "Marriage go complete you," na half-truth dem talk. Marriage no be only about love, flowers, and romantic strolls. Na real work, commitment, and adjusting. At the beginning, you go feel say na pure love you and your partner get. But as the years go by, sometimes that love fit fade. But guess what? Na commitment go keep the marriage alive. E no matter how sweet or tough the journey be, if you no get commitment, you go soon see say things dey change.
Let me tell you something: As a woman, this na the best time to enjoy your single life, because when you marry, e no go be the same again. You go get responsibilities wey go change some things. If you marry a man wey no get sense, no be say you go need to adjust to his way, but also, some of your pleasures go dey limited. No lie. Before you marry, you fit chop anything, travel anywhere, hang out with your friends anytime, and live your life how you want am. But once you marry, plus kids and family wahala, e go take sacrifice to enjoy small small pleasure.
As a man, e no be joke. When you marry, some of your old lifestyle go need to change. No be say you no go chop better jollof rice again or go club again, but you go need to make some decisions for the sake of your family. Your integrity and reputation don’t matter now. E go be about what is best for your home. If you wan make the marriage work, you go get to start thinking as a family, not as a single man.
Another truth wey nobody go tell you about marriage be say: Attraction wanes. As time go on, e no go be like before, when you go look your partner and just smile for no reason. Even if you marry the finest girl or the most handsome guy, e go happen. You fit start to look your partner one day and ask, “How come I no notice this thing before?” Or your partner fit look you like, “How you grow this beard so?” 😂 But guess what? If you fall in love with your partner’s soul and not just the body, e no go matter how the body change. Na the content, the personality, and the love between you both go carry the marriage.
Now, let’s talk about in-laws. Some people dey feel say their mother-in-law na their second mother. Omo, abeg, no let the love deceive you. Your in-laws are not your friends. Dem be family, yes, but dem no be your friends. Your mother-in-law no be your real mother. Maintain respect, no go dey too close. If you get a good relationship with them, thank God. But if you start dey show "see finish," na trouble go start.
Another thing wey go shock you be sex. For some reason, many people believe say sex go dey constant in marriage. Nah, reality check—sex fit fade, too. Some people go spend months without sex because of responsibilities. Kids go take most of your time. Sometimes, the thought of sex go just make you tired. You no go want. But at the end of the day, you go need to keep things balanced, satisfy your partner, and communicate well.
Let me talk about forgiveness—this one dey important. You no fit run from it. Marriage go show you a new level of forgiveness. No matter how you try, your partner go offend you, and you go offend them, too. Wetin you go do? Forgive, and make sure say you don’t bring it up every time. Na part of marriage, and e go help you grow.
You know say childbirth fit change a woman body? Yes, childbirth no easy. E fit take a toll on your body physically. But, my sister, it’s a miracle. A woman go go through all the pain to bring life into this world, but the changes no go be small. But, no matter the physical change, the love wey go dey for the baby and the family go cover am.
Now, here’s the interesting part: If you marry person wey feel say them too good for you, prepare for trouble. This kind partner go always make you feel inferior, like say na you dey lucky to marry them. The person go start to dey talk down on you, and that na one way to kill self-esteem. Before you know am, you go begin feel miserable.
Sometimes, e go happen say you go dey hide to eat because of the kids. Yes, if you no hide your food, e go finish before you know it. Kids go start to form like say them never chop in their life. That one dey funny, but e dey drain sometimes.
If your partner dey cheat, no matter how faithful you are, you fit still contract infection. I no go lie, e go pain you, but na the truth. Cheating no dey good for anyone. But when you dey faithful, try to make sure say una both respect each other.
Now, here’s a very important point: As you marry, you go experience different stages with your partner. Sometimes, you go feel say your partner na the best thing wey happen to you. But after a while, you go start to wonder if na brainwashing them do you. The feeling go shift, and you go feel like you never know this person before.
Marriage is not a walk in the park; it’s work. Both of you go need to work to make it work. And remember, na the little things wey count. Respect, understanding, and communication go carry you far.
You fit also notice say the person wey you marry fit fill the room with their clothes. Your wife fit turn wardrobe into fashion show, but na the fun part of it. Just make sure say you give room to her clothing empire. She go need it.
Now, let’s talk about men wey dey obsessed with their wives. If you marry a man wey dey jealous of every other man, especially if them dey talk to you, just know say you don enter wahala. Dem go treat other men like enemies, and you fit face domestic issues from there.
Finally, when you marry, the way your partner treats you fit affect how others go see you. If you marry person wey like to embarrass you, others go start to look at you with pity. If you no want make people pity you, respect and love each other well. Your partner's actions fit determine the kind of respect you go get from people. Keep your marriage solid, so people no go laugh at you.
In conclusion, marriage no be for the weak heart. E go test your patience, strength, and love. But when you’re ready, e go worth it. No be about love alone; na commitment, compromise, and work. And if you marry well, the journey go dey beautiful. But remember, marriage no be one-sided, both of you need to work on it together. 😄
This I Support Her 97% Matter
My guy, this “I support her 97%” matter na one phrase wey no dey ever miss for married life. If you never hear am before, abeg borrow ear. For marriage, support no dey complete. Na 97% we dey always get, and the remaining 3%? Omo, na vibes and inshallah.
Marriage na full-time job wey no get closing time. As a man, your number one assignment na to dey shout, “I support you 97%!” Even when you no sabi wetin you dey support, you go still raise hand like say na campaign you dey run. For your mind, you go dey hope say make this support no land you for wahala.
The Origin of the 97% Support
You see, women sabi bring ideas wey go make you weak for knee. One day, my wife just wake up tell me, “Baby, I’m thinking of starting a fish farming business.” My guy, I no sabi anything about fish, and I no even know whether our compound get space for aquarium, but wetin I go talk? Na to nod head and shout, “I support you 97%!”
Before I blink, na so I see cartons of fish feed and big, black tanks wey look like UFO for our backyard. When I ask her say, “Babe, where you go see fish put inside?” She reply me, “Leave that one. I’m coming.” True to her word, the next week, live catfish don land. The fish dey swim, but for my mind, na me dey drown.
When 3% Go Missing
One time, my wife come say she wan start small chops business. She don already order meatpie cutter, chin-chin machine, and one industrial blender wey fit grind yam to powder. As usual, I shout my default line: “I support you 97%!” My brother, na so I find myself dey slice onion for midnight, dey fry puff-puff wey I no even chop.
Why Men Never Give 100% Support
You fit dey wonder, why we no dey ever complete the 100% support? My guy, na because we don wise. That extra 3% na where your brain go tell you to pause and reason the matter. If you give 100%, you go soon see yourself dey follow her go one empowerment seminar wey dem go collect your email and dey send you monthly reminders for contribution.
Another reason na because women sabi use emotional blackmail. Imagine say you wan hold back the 97% support. She go just look you, “So you don’t believe in me? After all I’ve done for this family?” At that moment, you go see yourself nod like agama lizard. “No, baby! I support you 97%.”
Support Dey Get Levels
One of my guys wey support him wife 97% come tell us say him wife say she wan open gym for women. The guy, as usual, shout, “I support you 97%!” My guy, today na him dey lead women aerobics for that gym. Anytime I see am dey jump up and down, I go just dey laugh. Support don turn punishment.
When 97% Support Turn to “You Own Don Too Much”
You know say support get limit. If your wife dey bring idea every week, my brother, na there wahala dey. One month, my wife say she wan become caterer. Before I fit breathe, the next month, she don shift to fashion design. Another time, she talk say she wan become relationship counselor. I come dey ask myself, “Na me be your first client?”
One day, she talk say she wan start snail farming. I look am and say, “Babe, why all these businesses?” She reply me, “I’m just exploring my options.” Na there I realize say na my wallet dey explore options. But still, I no fit vex too much because, deep down, I know say the hustle no easy.
When 97% Support Finally Pay Off
No be every time we dey shout “I support you 97%,” e dey end for trouble. Sometimes e dey pay off. One of my padi wey dey support him wife matter come tell us say him wife open hairdressing shop with her business idea. Today, the woman don blow, and my guy no dey hear word again. Anytime we dey gist, him go remind us, “I was there for her from day one.” My other guy go reply, “You no be husband, you na investor.”
E sweet sha, because when you support your wife dream, the love dey grow. Sometimes na that 97% go give you rest of mind later. But my guy, always get sense. If the matter dey too much, activate that 3% reserve energy and pause. No let her carry you go where you no go fit return.
Conclusion
So my brothers, if your wife bring one business idea or new plan, just know say the default response na, “I support you 97%.” No argue, no ask too many questions, because whether you like am or not, you don already sign the invisible marriage contract.
But remember, support dey sweet when you fit laugh about am later. Na the memories of those 97% moments go make your marriage dey spicy. And for the women wey dey read this, abeg sometimes pity us small. We no be machine. That extra 3% wey we dey hold back, na wetin dey keep us sane.
For now, if you see me dey fry chin-chin or dey build fish tank, abeg just hail me. I dey live my best life as the chairman of the “97% Supporters Club.”
What do you think? This format captures the humor and drama perfectly! 😄
