Today's Single Woman: What Men Expect From You and What You Should Give in Return - Episode 2

Please do click here to read the first episode, incase you missed it. I do not know if I'm to say civilization is a curse or a blessing. Because living a civilized life has come with decadence of morals. And in the days of our fore-fathers which we call primitive times, there was much respect for morals and traditions. Today, there's a twist to everything. An upturn of events. Hmm! some may just stop reading after those few sentences like 'what crap! Lol!' Yeah. Right standing is scorned and replaced with wrong ones. Diamonds (virtuousness of ladies) are viewed as bronze (lost of virtue). Even the ones still struggling to maintain some semblance of morality have become a mockery of  what we call today civilization (open-eye, as it is termed in pidgin English). And the single woman just needs to go with the flow instead of directing the flow. So, what do men expect from today's single woman?

Baby(ies) Before Marriage
For some if not most relationships today, the trend is; have sex, get pregnant, have the babies and maybe marriage later. This has become so rampant, one may wonder where virtue has been thrown. And if anyone is ready to  go in search of it to keep the ladies pride intact? Becomes a question asked by few. Funny enough, the offer of marriage may not be on the table when you've given him all that he needs from you. You may agree with me that men naturally avoid commitments and probably gets married to fulfill all righteousness. So, why get trapped if he can get what he needs for free? And before you realize it, the relationship has dragged on for years and become what Nigerians term 'CREDIT MARRIAGE.' The worse will be the case, when he suddenly realizes there's no bond of vows holding you two together; he can still pursue the option of having a fresh sisi/chikito with all manners of excuses of how ill mannered you are (anything to get out of the relationship). Of course; you can't let that happen, not after all you've given to him or lost (respect, dignity...... shape). Then you two become two LIONS trapped in a RING. But only one desires to get out. And the drama/fight begins. Attack and counter attack. I've come to understand in the bible; God took Eve to Adam, blessed them and asked them to multiply. I believe its same thing today when the question is asked in a wedding ceremony "who giveth this bride away?" and the father replies "I do" and the joining, vows and blessing of the marriage continues. So, it is not the blessing before the giving away. Let's stop getting it twisted. What then should the woman give in return

A Wife's Blessings Before Babies;
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD (Proverbs 18:22). In essence, the greatest asset a man should pursue and possess is a WIFE not a BABY MAMA. Every single woman should get to truly understand, the man isn't doing you a favour alone, you are also favouring him. Because; as he crowns you with honour, you in-turn add values to his life. Yes! your coming into his house makes it a home and brings along the blessings of good things, increase and multiplication, when it is rightly done.You can double check again the scripture above 'you are the good thing.' We just have to learn to live by 'God's (word)' standard and not the 'world' standard. Cheers!
