Usually I do a video but I decided to save you from my ugly mug today
My Musings is about Marrying Up or Marrying Down
While I will focus on Marrying down, in my opinion Marrying Up also has its huge challenges
I’m pained when I see amazing, hardworking and determined women try to be put down by Society, Culture and then by Family
Family in this case is your spouse
Pls do not put yourself under any undue pressure to get married and then end up with a loser who will be threatened every time you breathe
Your calling is great and the man you marry must be able to take it and run with it
You need a man who understands that he must be your champion on and off the field
A man who is ready to be in the shadows so you can shine
Most women are ready to do this for their men so My dear pls don’t for 1 second think you don’t deserve such
Also pls let me debunk the lies ….
The man who will love you and worship you is waiting for you, don’t allow anyone fool you into believing that your Age or Stage will reduce those chances
Cock & Bull
Your chances are as high as YOU want them
Your self confidence and Self love will attract exactly the kind of man you deserve
There is no Marriage O’Clock and if pikin is your worry then Freeze your eggs or Adopt
Your happiness and Peace should always be Number 1
Don’t settle for anything less
Don’t Marry Down
Don’t Marry Up
Marry your Partner
Someone who sees you
Someone who accepts you
Someone who wants you to do better than him
Someone who loves you more than himself
I always felt She was Marrying Down and from that illiterate rant, I was right
