5 Mistakes Young Men Make Before Marriage



The success of every marriage is determined by the resolve of the individuals involved, what they know, and their willingness to implement. For the young man who intends to walk that path sooner or later, here are five proven ways not to attempt marriage.

Make unrealistic impression: It is natural for a young man to want to impress his lady. You want to let her see how refined you are; give her some nice treat so she can see how ‘right’ you are for her. It has something to do with the ego – yes, we all have some. Beyond that, a good impression helps to plane the path to a woman’s heart. But remember, when you make an impression you must have to live up to it. Never exude what you are not made of. A lady will only come to resent you the moment they get to realize you’re a fraud. Yes – even after she’s become your wife!


Go on a spending spree: Some men just cannot resist the urge to spend their way into a woman’s heart. Perhaps you think you are just not spending enough and that is why things are not flowing. Though a woman will appreciate it if you can provide for her, and possibly the family when you get to build one together, but do not splash the cash you do not have. Any woman that follows your cash will crash your heart once it stops to flow. A woman would rather know and marry a broke bloke than be with one who owned nothing he’d ever given her. Forget the ubiquitous materialistic tendencies you see, they are soon dumped for common sense when the time is right.


Keep it cool all the time: Yes, you are a gentle man – that’s ok. What about the other side? Everyone has one, so don’t pretend you haven’t. When you hide your temperament and how you truly feel about things, you will be setting up a time bomb. The thing about dating is that while we are it, we send out our best representatives: you send yours, she sends hers. However, in marriage the real persons clamber out of the works and will stay out 24/7. So let her know the ugly side, because if she married the nice guy and then the not-so-nice guy creeps out later on, there will be  lots of trouble. If she got to meeting him much earlier, there will be a little less trouble.



Peep into every pant and hope to change in a snap: If there is any change you want to make at the testosterone level you’ll need to start, preferably, a year or two before getting married. So many guys make the mistake of trying to effect such change after their wedding date, and you must know that such a change takes a little bit of getting used to.  So for that singular reason they mess up a lot of good things in their new life. Since marriage is a fix between two people alone, you might want to start with going on steady with her all alone, getting used a single item on the menu, before tying your life to hers. If she is not enough while dating she will never be enough in marriage.

Don’t talk about the future: when you get married the future will suddenly cease to be about you, your fancies and impulses. It will stop to be about those lone, crazy or complicated dreams of yours. This is because marriage entwines your destiny with another’s – and not just yours and hers but that of the kids that will result from such union, too. So don’t wait to get married before you discuss the future. It is important that you know if she is going your direction in life, because is she isn’t then a space will either not be enough or will be too hot for both of you.

Finding The Bond

My strongest addiction as a single was reading. Being alone was bliss and gave me ample time to devour as much literature as one could come by. I had very little care for what happened in other social spaces.  When I got married some years ago I had fears my lifestyle might have some effect on my family bonding, so I chose family. I found a great partner in my wife and have bonded excellently with my kids. But my love for the books and writing have suffered tremendously. A few months ago, I decided to return to reading​. If you were a reader you would know that if you've ever read a book that it has a way of reaching back to you whenever you saw the title. Going through my shelve, I realized I could sense and recollect every book's content by a mere touch; these were old friends indeed. And it struck me I have not bought new ones in a while. I have returned to reading, having made friends with the kids. I know they must sometimes wonder why Daddy suddenly has to stare fo...

A Letter to My Daugther

Dear daughter,   As I look down on this blank, unlined paper waiting to get inscribed with ink, I could imagine an angelic face on the brink of making a transition into a world of many wonders. I want you to know that you have been loved already. I could only imagine what it’s like over there on the other side, so I think you should consider it a fatherly advice and hold on to as much memory as you could while crossing over to this journey full of treachery and pain, hopelessness, and yet permeated with a lot of joy, and I hope you will come to add to its beauty. It is a world of many influences. A world of riches and poverty, highs and lows, wisdom and folly, fame and shame: a world of immense prejudice and little justice. But it is also a world where you can be anything you want to be, if you don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You are a woman, yes? The world expects a lot from your kind yet! So you are also awaited. I want you to know you can do all that without lett...

Want to Beat Her?

Let’s see. She is running her tongue again and getting you all depressed. You feel your authority is being challenged and you have to make it clear who is the man; you don’t want your friends talking in disregard. You think she is acting loose and if you don’t do a thing about it she would never know how badly you feel, or, bizarre as it might seem, how deeply you love her. We have to put the drink aside for a while; you really wanted to beat her, which is why you got drunk in the first place. In a way or another we would have seen quite a few women being battered; may be enough to wonder why some would be so maltreated, yet they are still all over their tormentor like clinging ivy; may be enough to wonder why a man would so badly abuse and assault the same individual he claims to love; may be enough to know where to stand on the issue. A lot of these cases have the same fundamental causes: nagging, fluid temper, jealousy, alcoholism (and their likes), low self esteem, pride and so on....
