Best And Worst Marriage Advices

Lets share the best and worst marriage advice you received, heard or gave.

For those married: can you share your best/worst advices you were given or gave

For those unmarried: can you share the best/worst you think you have heard or given to someone/couples





** the use of the word, bad and good is subjective here**

^^^ are you sure you have brains---- 

"Your husband is always right" worst advise given me on my wedding day which turns out to be completely a farce! Husband should be treated like a King but not always right

Babe, as if u knew what I had in mind. I was planning to start a similar thread.

I will be married soon. Some of d good ones;

"don't share your family affair with a third party"
"Don't be stingy, make your resources available for your family i.e your husband and kids"

Bad ones that usually come from girlfriends;

"don't let your spouse know your income"
"keep somethings secret from your husband"
"it's not compulsory you make pounded yam for him. If he can't manage poundo yam, buy from the nearest eatery" 

this one na super fabulous advice!!! has very ink of truthfulness written over it.


chai! LMAO women will not kill me!!! lol


ewoo very bad indeed lol. thought it was the wife who was always right

Best: Respect and Communication always.  marriage without them is doomed

Best:  Never take each other for granted and TRY to never let the sun go down on your anger

Funny: When a man acts like a child, it forces his wife to act like his mother - and a man cannot make love to his mother. **you know the rest!**

Best: Endurance. no marriage survives without endurance.

Best:  forget about all those sayings that marriage is a 50/50 thing. marriage requires 100% from the man and 100% from the woman to stay strong   
           and last

I forgot this one, I definitely agree! I would also say never let your partner leave the house angry, you don't know what can happen outside, 

This is the only advice I've gotten 'yet' from my mother.

What you can't take in the night, do not take it in the morning.

Night here means the marriage proper, morning means before the marriage.

Meaning, don't pretend to be what you are not just to get married. If you feel something is not right about the man's views or family or you feel uncomfortable about something, say it and do something about it. Don't ever pretend to like it.

Never follow a man to fight anyone ie family members. Rather be the peace maker because when things go south; He'll side his family and so be the peace maker.

Most definitely agree !!! Oftentimes, some women think it's normal to fight along with your husband afterall, you're his wife therefore you both are in it together! Being the peacemaker sounds foreign to some women especially when the husband is involved.

Best - Always resolve issues between yourselves without third party interference/intervention

I'm a strong advocate of this, no point inviting other people's opinions and interpretations into your marriage. My position is, you found and decided to marry each other so you should be able to resolve your differences by yourselves

Dont mind Prof Chamo 

Something I always hold on to :

Never hesitate to apologise when you are wrong. Sincere apology.

Secondly: be your partners/husbands best friend.

P.s. Am not married. But these are rules I will stick to when I get married.

 Best~ Treat your parents in laws as you would treat your own parents. Do not look at your mother in law as moster in law

Bad ~ Always remind her who wears the pants in the family.

When you are having problems communicating with each other, don't talk to each other to work it out. Silence is the best answer because your spouse doesn't give a flip to what you have to say anyway, so save your energy.

Best: from a couple who has been married for over 50 years getting to 60 now and still have a very strong marriage.

Question: what has been keeping you both together for this longest time? whats your secrert?

Answer: "secret? there is no secret my dear. just perseverance, endurance, sacrifice, respect and God. you see the problem with so many todays marriage is that they lack this virtues. you have to preserve in marriage. you must make sacrifices in marriage. and you must learn to endure. she continued. respect is  a huge part because you cant have two captains at a wheel at the same time. you MUST learn to respect each other. and you cant forget those three word "i am sorry"

finally, she said the biggest one is GOD. remember there are three people involved in a marriage. God, you and your spouse. if you take God out of the equation, you will have a hard time balancing things out. NEVER forget him. make him the captain of your marriage. you will encounter many storms and waves of the ocean in your marriage, but with God in charge, you
will NEVER be shaken"
