I got a mail from a WAG reader wanting me to share a message from her to other WAG readers.
Am going to paste it exactly the way she sent it to me, no editing.
Read and take to heart.
Pls pass this simple advice to all that cares to listen: -
The rate at which marriages collapse now is assuming a social symbol status in our society. In no- time, people will be throwing divorce parties and invite friends and well-wishers to celebrate their divorce anniversaries; they will choose aso-ebi, hire a hall and popular musicians & what have you.
Even a question like "So when are u getting divorced?" will become commonplace.
If u know u can't handle the weight & pressures of marriage, please remain single.
If u don't know what marriage is all about, please remain single until u do.
If u are getting married because of the things u desire or hope to gain from the other person please remain single.
If u know u can't be faithful, remain single.
If u can't endure insults from one another, pls remain single. If u can't forgive one another's wrongs, pls remain single.
If u can't place ur spouse above every other human being, pls remain single! Don't get married out of desperation."All my friends are getting married" is d most foolish reason to get married!
If u desire a successful home, but ur choice of friends are forces not to reckon with, think again.
Be very mindful of where you go for advices, Many would give, but not many mean well!
Guys, if u know u can't put ur wife ahead ur ego, pls remain single till u're mature. Ur woman is your priority and EVERYTHING else including u comes last. You are the teacher, the guide, the bodyguard,the role model - u are not a deity or God. So do not expect to be worshipped. You need respect, earn it by being responsible!
Ladies, if u know you can't be submissive please don't go into marriage so you're not turned to a punch bag! If u know u can't stand being corrected, please remain single. Mr/Mrs I know it all!!! Ladies check ur domestic scorecard - if ur score is zero, please stay in ur parents' house!
Ladies and gentlemen, marriage isn't, & won't be a bed of roses but u can make urs work!
I, WAG must say this is truly a nice piece of advise. Thanks dear WAG reader for sending this in. If you have anything you wish to share on this blog you can contact me through my email, warrigirl@ymail.com
INFO OF THE DAY: Women Blink Twice As Many Times As Men Do.
That's a lot of blinking every day. The average person, man or woman, blinks about 13 times a minute.
So we babes blink a lot, the guys trip a lot, niceeee *blinking my lashes*.
Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

D person hit d nail on d head
#GBAM
"My friends r getn married" is probably d most popular reason ladies r getn married...
Everyone should get married for the right reasons..
If we really want to analyze this topic we would end up saying things like we are not of this earth. The devils last tool is geared toward the destruction of the institution called marriage. But I bet, I see him winning already. Because I see a lot of people saying "I better remain single" already. He has planted and solidified his root long time ago. And we were/are part of this camp in one way or the other. My own thghts: If you fall into this category in one way or the other, then you are part of the cause of this new era of 'marriage fall apart' syndrome:
1. Practiced double dating before marriage.
2. Didn't discourage your younger ones on dating too early.
3. Sex before marriage.
4. Supported gay or lesbianism in any of its form.
5. Supported/encourage runs or gigolo(ism):: pls permit
6. Joined the school of though about marriage been age-bound
7. Didn't discourage that married man/woman who still keeps matured women/men as 'just friends'
8. Had an affair and still keep intimate contact with ex (ones-ones runs).
9. Didn't criticize dt bad govt policy that afftected the economy wt hardship as a ripple effect.
10.... Jst a lot more.
Some how, our acceptance of bad characters and culture links with this 'marriage-splitting' curse we face. They are all just chained together. When that 18yr old yahoo boi, made that 20million, u joined him and had a drink. I joined too..lolx. What about the ripple effect on that young girl who now factored fantasies as part of life and thinks its thesame for marriage. Now same little girl marries a civil servant tomorrow, but her currupted mentality abt money, men and spending wld not allow her give supposed 100% respect to her man as due. Especially wen one of those money boiz is f4ck*ng one of her marriage friend too.
Hmmmm... Pls criticize me
Ighxo
Hmmm marriage is really not 4 kids but 4 matured minds,all dese gurls getting married cos of deir frnds and pressure from mummy will also end up in a broken home. And its only d unserious fellows dat wud wanna remain single cos dey can never be matured. Xoxo
@Ighox: Seriously?! You ought to be kidding. So we are now responsible for every single divorce action on the planet. No me jodas. What planet are you living on oh?! Mars?!!!
Pls define unserious fellows oh? So priests are unserious? So all those buddhists abi na wetin dem dey call them are unserious. Niggam please!
thank God u knw u'll be critizied. I believe in personal decision wen it comes to marriage,wen u re not ready u shud remain single. I will never support marriage man keeping affair wit ex or even close contact cos i made up my mind to do all my dirty deeds befor i get married and wen am married its just me and my Angel. Xoxo
My Doc please undastand me wen i say unserious fellows, priest and all who believes in remaining single is just deir religious and if u read bout dem recently over 2000 catholic priest resigned cos dey ve been fornicating for many years so instead of continuing in sin dey decide to resign and get married. Thats serious pple. Both of us do not fall into deir category so if u re not serious den u shud remain single cos i ve alot of family friends over 40yrs who re still single doz re d unserious fellows am talkin bout. Xoxo

Dafe, please what exactly do you mean by unserious oh? That's what I'm having a problem with
U rather remain single shey? After na una go dey disturb pastors to pray 4 una wen una go dey church wen dey say pray 4 d nation u go pray 4 husband. Oro kelekele
A lesson to us all. We all are @ fault 1 way or anoda wen it comes to failed marriages. We should indulge 4 the right reasons most especially love. The way we behave in our relationships now will tell how our marriages will end up wen we eventually get marriage. Tanks WAG so intriguing.
@ dr gee, hmmm.. I think u almost got me wrong. Wat I was trying to say is that the culture that we once embraced and some decision that we once made is now affecting the marraige institution. Would you compare the rate of divorce in our fathers time and now? Would you compare the rate of single parenting of their time and ours? Wat I was trying is that the rate of moral decadence is looped to the rate at which marriage break up (as a whole).
@dafe, criticism is just normal especially when one understands the complexity behind some things we call basic. For instance, what was ur take on the west invasion into libya? I guess like many others u would say "Gadaffi is a bad man, so let him be. Removed" am I correct? But wat if I say its jst a staged act by the west pre re-colonising africa. I guess that would make me sound like I am from Mars?
Back to marriage issue. Why is it that the rate at which men are prepared for marriage these days both financially and mentally is kind of slower as compared to the past?
Yes, you won't support married men having affair wt their ex. But at thesame time, you didn't criticize that neighbour who was into runs with probably some married men too. Right? Bcos 'runs' is now a norm in our mental mind nowdays.
Yea, u wanna have the fun before u get married.. It sounds cool right?. But you said that u wanna fu*k as much woman dt u can before u settledown. Oo.... And u think that that spirit of womanizing would just vanish wen u are finally married? U lie.
Jst keep criticising.
Hello darlings, I'm glad u like this piece xxx. Me don dey warm up for marriage, God give me the grace to make it beautiful
I agree with Ighox 100%.@Dafe do you think fornication would not go unpunished?I will advise you to go back to your Bible and read it.Watever sin you commit you always get the retribution whether you like it or not.
Its a Beautiful piece, It was RuggedMan that tweeted everything you see in the post. To the issue of marriage, I'd say you should put everything in God's hand and it will work out fine. Anybody can have a successful marriage with anybody. India does 'arranged marriage' and they have the lowest divorce rate in the world.If both parties put their mind to it, they will make it work
Personally, I don't have a girlfriend now because am not ready for emotional attachment, all those love talk bore me. Talkless of marriage, when I have my mind at rest, I will think of women
Its a serious matter.God help us
Dr. Gee, I tink what Dafe means by unserious is simply 'irresponsible'. Unless you're ready to make up ur mind to bear the responsibilities dt come wt marriage(cos thr's a whole lot of it) marriage won't work for you. Instead you'll get frustrated and finally take d exit route.
Thanks Warri gal. There are so many reasons not to get married oh, but by God's Grace we will conquer all.
