ANCHAVER

1) Tell me what does a man look for in a girlfriend and how does it differ 4rm what he looks for in a wife?

Basically the same thing, I don't go into a relationship if there is no future in it. We're better off being mutually beneficial if we can't date.

2) Is there a marriage age for a guy and if so what is it?

LOL! I would say 27 to 30, different folks, different strokes though. But 27 seems ideal to me.

3)How do/did you know your babe is the one?
I don't believe it is possible to know the one instantly, there are so many sides to a person that you have to learn to accommodate and at times tolerate, most of which take time. So the concept of "the one" is not really logical.

4)What are your views on divorce
I don't want to knock those who go through it, but its not something I support, divorce damages the fabric of society and has a lot of ripple effects. So I'd insist on 110% commitment to be sure my relationship is a life time venture.

5) Why do you think divorce is more common these days and in especially in younger couples?
I think its because a lot of people rush into things they are not ready for and end up rushing out. The more people get divorced, the more excuses others have to do so.

6) Do you think your parent’s marriage or divorce influences your decisions in picking your wife or your marriage?
Definitely, you can see their problems, mistakes and successes firsthand, which is always an ideal learning experience.

7) Do you think women are less tolerant nowadays or men are less resistant to change?
Well, it goes both ways really. There is the need for tolerance and change on both parts, so I would have to say yes.

1) Tell me what does a man look for in a girlfriend and how does it differ 4rm what he looks for in a wife?

 -Gf: pretty face, good body, good sex; I make sure my gf has the wife qualities though so that I am not wasting my time.

Wife: prayerful, home-maker characteristics, mother traits, not troublesome/feisty, etc

 2) Is there a marriage age for a guy and if so what is it?
For me there isn't. I always thought I'd get married at 30/32 but now that I am in a serious relationship I feel like I can get married in as little as two years, provided I'm comfortable and independent and able to maintain a home. Especially because my girlfriend and I are within the same age range.


3)How did/do you know your babe is the one?
I think it's instinctive and subjective.


4) What are your views on divorce
Ideally, I would never like to divorce. I would rather seek alternative ways of resolving any disputes, especially after we have had kids together.


5) Why do you think divorce is more common these days and especially in younger couples?

I think our moral values have lowered a lot, sadly.

6) Do you think your parent’s marriage or divorce influences your decisions in picking your wife or your marriage? 
Yes, certainly. Luckily my parents have a strong marriage so I watch them. From the way they relate to each other I have an idea which of their traits I would pick and which I wouldn't; as well as which of their parenting skills I agree with and which I do not.


7) So do you think women are less tolerant nowadays or men are less resistant to change?
I'm not sure I have an answer to that

 

LAMI

1)       Tell me what does a man look for in a girlfriend and how does it differ 4rm what he looks for in a wife?
Girlfriend = Fun and Adventure. Wife = Companionship and Support.

 2) Is there a marriage age for a guy and if so what is it?

No marriage age but many would say preferably before 30

3)How did/do you know your babe is the one?

 I don't have a girlfriend so cannot answer that.

 4)What are your views on divorce?

 Till death do us part. Unless there is domestic violence, I'll actively support anyone being abused by a spouse to leave that relationship. 

       5) Why do you think divorce is more common these days and especially in younger couples?

 I think people rush into marriage these days and rush out almost immediately. Either they went in for the wrong reasons or they are just not patient enough to work through tough times.

6) Do you think your parents marriage or divorce influences your decisions in picking your wife or your marriage?

 Absolutely. My parents are still together so I want to make sure I find someone who will stick with me through thick and thin and vice versa. It's a hard task these days. 

 7) So do you think women are less tolerant nowadays or men are less resistant to change?

 I think the relationship you find yourself in will dictate the answer to this question. I however also think that tolerance is not the forte of many women in Nigerian society today.

I've got a couple of more coming up, so stay tuned!
