Married life comes with its own special ups and downs, as married men and women all over the world will tell you.

In the second part of this article on the popular complaints married people have about their partners, we list five most common things that married women often complain about, things that men might need to note and make adjustments on:

1.  Effort reduces

Several women all over the world are familiar with the disappointing situation where a man who was very attentive, very affectionate, takes them seriously and just goes the extra mile to make them happy stops doing so once the marriage begins.

Reduced effort makes women feel less appreciated and not as happy and bright as they might have been at some point in the beginning of the relationship. It is one of the things that married men would need to note and put an end to.

2.  They don’t help with house chores

Men are not excluded from menial jobs and activities and chores in the house but sad, many men are not too familiar with this idea.

The idea that men do not take house chores as their responsibility as well leaves the women really frustrated and annoyed.

3.  Too tired for sex

If only men would realise that working hard and providing money for the family will not take away the sexual needs of the wife!

Another huge problem that married women are familiar with is the unfaithfulness of many of their partners. We have once wondered here if the unfaithfulness of married men is extra-worse in Lagos, Nigeria, because of the commonness of the activity and the regularity of its report in the city.

5. No more efforts to look good

That women are married does not mean they no longer want their husbands to look as hot as they used to. Beauty standards are not to be imposed on just the wives. Husbands also have the duty to keep looking good even after they’re married.

Keep your grooming on point, exercise intentionally and keep that weight in check. Your wife would really like that!

The problem with dating people with too many friends https://dailyconcord.com/the-problem-with-dating-people-with-too-many-friends/ Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:38:52 +0000 https://dailyconcord.com/?p=13266 Someone without close, good friends may typically not be able to maintain a happy relationship

Someone without close, good friends may typically not be able to maintain a happy relationship – or even go through the stressful motions of existing in this millennial age.

It is fine if you are the type of person who has no friends. But it’s even better if you have a close circle of people on whom you can rely. It is not a bad idea to have friends and allies who have your back; people that can look you in the eye and tell you the truth and have your best interests at heart all the time.

Here is why good friendships are even more profitable when you are in a relationship: good friends give you good advice. They are also good soundboards for your worries, issues, relationship problems and things you need to get off your chest, as long as you do not mix up the ideal order of communication in the relationship.

As amazing as friendships are for people who are in romantic relationships, having a big circle and worse, letting every member of that circle into your love business may not be such a good idea. The bigger your circle, the higher the chance that there will be a mole in it. The more people you have up in your business, the higher the possibility that negative energy will be let into your relationship with your man or woman.

All friends are not necessarily friends; and having a few number of them does not take away all the risk of having your affairs polluted by jealousy, envy and bad advice; but it does cut down on its possibility. With a large circle, intent becomes even difficult to track. What’s real and what’s not gets muddled up in the crowd. More ears will likely become privy to your affairs.

Dating someone with many friends and a loose mouth leaves your affairs open to so much criticism, unnecessary assessments and a lot of strange influences.
