HOW TO CHOOSE A WIFE

Welcome to February. The first month of the year is gone. If you are still alive and kicking, congratulations. You are a strong one — this year, over 80,000 suicides has been recorded worldwide. The world is fucked. Humans are shitty — the just released Epstein files shows that the world is ruled majorly by assholes. I am digressing too much. This is February, the month of love I believe. So I will share a little something since romance will be the main agenda for some this month. How to choose a wife. You can see that I didn't add "good." It is because I know if she has all the qualities that I'll share, then she is good already — perfect even. This little something is based on framework, core research and learning not just fantasy. God will not choose your wife for you, he can only guide you and these are some important pointers you must look for; 

1. In character and temperament. She must be emotionally regulated under stress. She should disagree with you without disrespecting you. Never addicted to drama or similar extremes. Having a calm nervous system > loud personality. She must be accountable without defensiveness. No public shaming, private correction only. She must show kindness always especially when there is nothing to gain.

2. In values and discipline. Delayed gratification comes naturally. Low impulsivity (money, emotions, decisions). Understands loyalty beyond feelings. Doesn’t outsource validation to strangers — content with herself. Self-respect precedes relationship demands. Keeps boundaries even when unsupervised. 
3. Past relationships and history. Peace is her default setting. Doesn’t define herself by past pain. No outrageous body counts. No obsession with exes, trauma or villain arcs. Reasonable relationship history, not serial entanglements. 
4. Family and imprint. Healthy relationship with her father or has consciously healed it, comes from a family where conflict resolves, not explodes. Women in her family respect her (not compete with her). No repeated pattern of unstable long term relationships. Understands commitment because she’s seen it, not imagined it. 
5. Communication and respect. Speaks clearly without manipulation. Listens to understand, not to win. Doesn’t weaponize silence, tears, or sex. Respects your name, time, and reputation. Conflict is a discussion, not a performance. 
6. Work, purpose and independence.  Has direction (career, craft or calling). Doesn’t view marriage as financial rescue — this is very important especially in a country like Nigeria. Money is discussed maturely, not emotionally. Understands contribution beyond the aesthetics attached to it. Proud to build, not just be provided for. 
7. Social behavior. Respected by other women (not feared, not envied). Kind to service workers when nobody’s watching. Not performative on social media. Attention is enjoyed, not hunted — private life remains private. 
8. Attraction and intimacy. Attraction is mutual, not negotiated. Intimacy feels safe, not transactional. Sex isn’t used as leverage or validation. Affection is consistent, not mood-based. Chemistry + calm, coexist. 
9. Timing and readiness. Chooses you, not pressured or age. Ready for marriage, not escaping loneliness or poverty. Understands sacrifice without resentment. Wants partnership and collaboration, not supervision. Peace increases, not decreases, with proximity. 

And lastly, she must be godly. Not a church goer but a person has the fear of God, who understands the roles of God in her life and the instructions given to her by God in alignment with the vision and mission of her man. 

The summary rule. As a man, please don’t marry potential. Don’t marry intensity, don’t marry history. Women can fake these things. Marry character, stability and peace. Your life will become quieter, not louder. Your decisions clearer, not confusing. Your progress will accelerate, not stall and mutual trust will deepen without constant reassurance. 

Scholars and philosophers said if you marry right, you hit a goldmine. They are not wrong. And I know I have never been married but I see people and I watch them closely. Save this for later, brothers. Buena suerte.
