Always remember...
Men are the PRIZE.
And women are the PRICE.
There is nowhere a woman is mandated to spend any money during her wedding.
But the man must spend to marry his wife.
She positions herself and wins the PRIZE through femininity, respect and faithfulness.
While he shows love through leadership, protection and provision (PRICE).
That is why the bride is always the happiest during wedding ceremony.
Because she is the winner of the PRIZE.
Good morning.
@jon_d_doe I feel he would not listen to you Agba. At the end he said naija babes complain he doesn't have or give them time because he is working on PC, yet he had the time to make video call, talk more & even pray together thereby giving the UK woman attention. He's eager to travel out.
This is a simple test that you should carry out as a boyfriend.
Whenever your girlfriend is visiting, deliberately keep money somewhere that will be visible to her.
Make sure you count the money, and it should not all be the same denomination. Do not touch the money, and do not ask her to touch it either.
When she leaves, go and count the money.
If it's short, wait to see if she would tell you that she took some money from it and explain what she used it for.
Ideally, she's not supposed to touch the money if you didn't ask her to.
But give her the benefit of the doubt if she touches it without you asking her to.
If she doesn't tell you about it after she has left, carry out the same test again and again.
By the time she has done it more than 3 times, please know that you have not found a wife yet.

When people discuss retirement, they focus on money.
They talk about pensions.
They talk about investments.
They talk about medical insurance.
Nobody talks about what happens when the children grow up and leave.
Not leave home and settle in the next town.
Leave properly.

The other becomes an expert on village weather patterns.
One knows immigration procedures in three countries.
A son has a work commitment.
A school closes for holidays.
A family emergency appears.
The return date quietly migrates to another season.

Plans are made.

“How are you?”
“I am fine.”
“What did you eat?”
“Tea.”
“What else?”
“Bread.”
“What else?”
“More bread.”
The wife immediately sounds concerned.
A few weeks later she is somewhere in Melbourne teaching grandchildren how to pronounce family names correctly.
The husband remains exactly where she left him.
At home.
Guarding the family compound.
Monitoring trees planted twenty years ago.
Inspecting fences nobody intends to

Meanwhile the wife is thriving.

The conversations become one-sided.

He reminds her to call when she arrives.
He waves goodbye.
Then he returns home.
Alone.
The first few days are pleasant.
The house is quiet.
The television belongs entirely to him.
Nobody complains about the volume.

One ends up in Texas.
Another settles in Minnesota.
A daughter moves to Canada.
A son relocates to Australia.
