Many brides are familiar with this feeling. As the wedding day comes close, so do intents and advice and wishes multiply. Friends offer this and that advice, family members suggest various things that should add more colour and radiance to the big day… on and on goes the carousel.

While many of these projections can be brushed off when they come from these sources, it is not so easy to do so when they come from parents.

With a bride who is not so sure of what she wants, it’s actually very easy for parents to project so much of their desires on the ceremony that it may well be assumed that the wedding is a renewal of their vows rather than their child’s nuptials.

How much influence should your parents have on your wedding day?

It all depends on the disparity of their wishes and yours, to be very honest. If their wish is to have a ceremony that is totally, totally different from what you have dreamt of, taking on their wishes may be very difficult.

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!
