Foolish Lovers
I come from a broken home with both parents remarried. I was the only child between them. I was very lonely growing up because my siblings from both my parents were my half brothers and sisters and I was always seen and treated as the outsider so I never really belonged anywhere. I had vowed even before I met Christ that no child of mine would experience the kind of life I had. Being a Christian helped to reinforce my decision. I would marry a God-fearing woman who loved God and will honor our marriage. A nagging voice at the back of my mind kept whispering to me that divorce…

Finally, …what Men want 6
Interestingly , there is just one more comment to report . “I wish that when we first got married Babe knew that a lot of her decisions were based on the perceived need to maintain a happy home look…” In this age of social media, there is a lot of pressure to keep up appearances. For example, say hubby is working on the monthly budgets and planning for investments to secure our future and yours truly (et moi) wants to dine at the newest restaurant in town which my friends are going to, so that I can update my status and let them know I’m still the Babe… Society has…

What Men want…..5
There is something that evokes the depth of our emotion when we see someone crying and one husband comments “Men can be hurt and cry privately in their own way sometimes. “ I gave this point a bit of thought and I would say this also goes out to both genders. To the guys, it’s okay to cry when the need arises. Sometimes you are hit with a tornado of an issue, and it takes everything inside you – and more, to keep your head above the waves. One of the husbands I spoke to shared how he had cried on a few occasions openly and his wife just held him in her…

Let me just make a confession here. Getting all this information from the men convicted me of some of my actions. “Men are not mind readers – hence the need for clear communication.” In fact, I am guilty of this one right now. I have been moody for over twenty four hours, waiting for hubby to realise that I am not myself and ask what is going on, but the guy is just carrying on as normal and my mood is not getting any better. But come to think of it, if I go and change into something skimpy and walk around the house, still wearing my moody face, I…

It seems like after the question of how we look was raised , the men shifted to how where we live looks.Bedroom matters came next… “Unfortunately, the bedroom we share starts to look more feminine over time. We men sometimes wish we had our own man cave/bedroom; but for the sake of peace…. Have you seen that scene in ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’ where Matthew M goes into his bathroom cabinet and sees tampons and shaving stuff and everything girly he never thought he would see in his personal space? That’s the picture I got when I heard this comment. I laughed when I watched that…

I thoroughly enjoy the idea of reporting the news. Journalism was a career option but I didn’t know how I would make that work in Nigeria so I pursued a different dream; but I have always loved the idea of sharing a story, especially when its not mine! So, an opportunity to report on what husbands would like wives to know was something I couldn’t pass-up. For this article, I spoke to a range of husbands and from their feedback, I have picked a few pointers to share: I wish wives would make an effort on their appearance while indoors. We men appreciate things through sight. In our defense dear…
