FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS CHILDREN FOR MARRIAGE

"MY FATHER'S ADVICE TO ME WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR A WIFE"

By Jerry John Rawlings, former Ghanaian President

My son, I will be very raw and sincere with you. Do not worry about the size of a woman buttock or breast, but do worry about the size of her heart and brain. Do worry about the size of her love and endurance, because after 5 to 10 years, it will not be about the breast or buttock again. As you can see, your mum now has a flat chest and almost flat buttock, but we still love each other and live together happily.

Be careful of a woman who loves money. I mean the woman who talks ‘every time’ about her hair, cloths, shoes, bags panties and make-ups. Marriage is not all about these things. Without make-up, cloths, shoes and panties, a good marriage will still stand but without love, no marriage can stand.

When I married your mum, I didn’t have
a car or house of my own. I was not even educated, but I had dreams and she appreciated and supported me. Any woman who does not support your dream is not worth thinking-a-minute about. There are women who see your dreams better than you, you are lucky if you find one.

My son, open your ears very well, there is a kind of woman you should avoid, do not make mistake to marry this kind of woman or else you will regret forever. I mean a woman who always has bad things to say about everyone and everything. If you see this kind of woman, run away.

One of the worst kind of woman you can marry is the one who complains about everything. If you buy this, she says you should have bought that, if you do this, she says you should have done that.
Please stay away! Most women enjoy talking, but the one who talks for two hours and listen for two minutes is a potential ‘bomb’. Be wise.

Be very careful of a pretending partner. A pretender is not hard to know, she would always know everything about everything and she would be careful. Just close your eyes and open your heart, and you will see! No woman is perfect. If you see a woman who
believes in your dream , who respects you, who is committed and who is not all about herself alone, don’t lose her.

But remember, you must not be wayward yourself. I have trained you!
If you find a good woman, but you are a bad man, you won't have a good marriage! I won’t pick a wife for you, but I have given you my advice. When you find her, bring her for my blessings.

May you find a woman who will increase you and not decrease you, Amen!
