So Much To Learn As People In Blissful Marriages Share Their Stories

A Nigerian lady has sparked beautiful responses on Twitter after she asked people in blissful marriages to share their stories.

In a tweet shared online, @chiiogbu asked people in good marriages to be more open with their beautiful stories because bad stories of marriages have taken the center stage on social media.

According to her, stories of bad marriages shared online are making marriage look unappealing to single people, therefore those in good marriages should normalize sharing their stories.

She said a lot of single folks, like herself, are no longer interested in getting married because of the terrible marriage stories they read online.

She tweeted:

“I need people in genuinely happy marriages to normalize sharing advice and their cute stories because their colleagues in toxic marriages overshare thereby making it look very unappealing to us singles. We need balance plsss.”

Her tweet quickly garnered traction on social media with some sharing their stories and how sweet their marriages have been.

However, some others stated that they can’t share their stories for fear of attracting evil eyes and what not into their homes. Others also mentioned that social media users have labeled people in good marriages as ”fake people”.

Nonso Dimgba: “Marriage is very good and sweet, 9yrs this year in marriage and people still think am single when I’m done with child birth…. One factor that causes toxic marriage is PRIDE and it eventually leads to irreconcilable issues..”

@theellageorge: “This post made me kinda sad, because I’m guilty of being silent about my marriage. Some friends have asked me to be open but I can’t. The truth will sound like a lie or exaggeration. Even after 8 years, I still find myself at random times, thanking God for my good fortune.”

@zcej_: “I fit share am finish, devil go come pour sand sand inside my garri. Abeg oo”

@ammielv: “My husband is a great guy.. it really is the little things. He is patient, He is kind, He encourages me to bring the best of me to everything & even when there’s any issue, we don’t go to bed upset with each other. We forgive each other more, He’s legit my best friend.”

@amocoboy1: “This is my 12th year in marriage to my lovely, reserved, godly, but stubborn wife and beautiful children. The family life has become normal to me: love for my wife, patience, tolerance, trust, hard work, discipline. It gets better day by day and also comes with its challenge too.”

@BukkyOla: There are I repeat good stories about marriage.. I for once been married for 7years.. together for 8 years. He works and same here, but still he cooks for us, before I can finish my shift and return home, the table is set with food and I have the choice to choose what to drink, not even to mention that I don’t even know the cost of things cuz he buys everything and never pushes it to me that he does, I think marriage is about compatibility and If you find someone who tolerates and loves you for who you are, and not what the society paints of a perfect person then you are lucky. Of course he’s stubborn but that’s why I’m there to calm the situation and be the matured one in those times. I’ll choose him every das cuz he’s good side outweighs his bad side.

@TheMan: Of cos there are good marriages until one party finds out out other other party has been cheating, lol. You will be surprised some of the people that commented under that tweet are going through pain in their marriage. Men and women should work together for a happy home, but MEN should note that loving your wife is good but don’t be a fool, let their be boundaries.

@Anonymous: TheMan, you are beginning to talk sense o. I swear I thought my husband loved me with the way he is always doing. I thought he could never cheat especially because of his religious beliefs and how he is always speaking against it. Omo, I thought wrong until after almost 20 years of marriage, bombshell upon bombshell just kept arriving at my doorstep. He is just apologising now. Every marriage is sweet until the secrets start leaking
