Transcript
- 0:30Hello and welcome back to my channel.
- 0:32My name is Lorenzo defect and this is bunted Lawrence area.
- 0:36For today's episode, I want to ask the question.
- 0:39Do we marry for love? Do we marry out of pity or do we
- 0:45marry for Financial Security or financial reasons?
- 0:49So have your answers by the site, for those who are married
- 0:53for those of us who get married for those.
- 0:55We are even thinking. You know, one day I'm going to
- 0:57get married. What would be your reason why?
- 1:00Would see I do or you will say yes to a person.
- 1:04The reason I want to talk about this is because there's a video
- 1:07online without going viral your couple.
- 1:11This young man proposed to his girlfriend and she accepted.
- 1:15It was like family and friends who are presents, kind of a
- 1:19sitting room proposal. She reluctantly accepted the
- 1:23proposal and the next day, there was a video.
- 1:30Video so faced where she returned the ring to the man.
- 1:34This has generated a whole lot of conversation and the person I
- 1:38posted that video. Give an explanation that this
- 1:42goal they've been dating for four years this month Center to
- 1:45school, he was paying her bills, he was paying accommodation
- 1:48bills, he was literally taking care of her even down to
- 1:52appearance. He was the one responsible for
- 1:55the upkeep of her family. And according to him, this is
- 1:59somebody that Wants to spend the rest of his life with and this
- 2:03is the only this is way she was repaying him back for all
- 2:08everything that he did for her. So social media was divided half
- 2:14of social media. Felt as really the guys, they
- 2:17settled women are scum. This is why I don't take care of
- 2:21a woman you know. Women do these women, do that.
- 2:25If it was a man that did this whole theme, who's everybody on
- 2:28social media will be talking about About it.
- 2:31And then the women on the other hand, they said, well, even if
- 2:34you're going to take care of somebody, even if maybe she was
- 2:37in love with him, and for some reason, she fell out of love,
- 2:41but she couldn't. Maybe she wouldn't told him, but
- 2:44he felt a ring will fix whatever thin or whatever issue we have.
- 2:51You know, how people have children to fix marriages, that
- 2:57boy, you know. So some of those things that
- 3:00maybe She was fighting some problems that she didn't like
- 3:04and he felt proposing to how we fix that problem.
- 3:07Maybe he took her by surprise and she had to accept the
- 3:10proposal just to, you know, save face.
- 3:13But she talks about it over the night and decided to return the
- 3:15ring. So it was kind of a two-sided
- 3:18conversation, the men. On the other hand, the paint
- 3:21they said you know this is how women behave especially those
- 3:25ones that you try to, you know, bring them to your level or Or
- 3:30even raise them. Some anyway the guys were angry.
- 3:35One guy said, listen, I married my wife out of pity because
- 3:41according to him when they were dating, she had over, she
- 3:44terminated about five pregnancies and because of that
- 3:49he felt compelled to marry her. He felt she has all these things
- 3:56for him and it would be if she like Lay a curse on him.
- 4:02That's the course will definitely follow him so because
- 4:05he didn't want all the. He didn't want to rule his life
- 4:08according to you, because he didn't want to ruin his life.
- 4:11He had to marry her, though. He said they are happy.
- 4:15She had children for him now and they're happy family, but he
- 4:20always felt he could have done better.
- 4:23He also cited another example of a friend of his who got married
- 4:28to his wife just because Has, he did virgin her.
- 4:31He said they were dating and he didn't even know.
- 4:34She was a virgin until, you know.
- 4:36He kind of fell for her. The started going out and when
- 4:42they wanted to do, you do realize that she was a virgin
- 4:45and after then he she was kind of following him around
- 4:50everywhere, whatever? That was the explanation you
- 4:52gave. But when he came to marriage, he
- 4:55made the decision to marry her because obviously, he felt he
- 4:59can trust this. Ever since he married her
- 5:01because of the trust that he had for her because he knows that,
- 5:05even if he goes out travel out for the next three years, she's
- 5:09going to wait for him, but according to him, the wife is
- 5:14not his back. So he goes out there to get his
- 5:18pic. Like do everything you wants to
- 5:21do with its high cheek. Old girlfriend for comes back
- 5:25home to his wife. The ladies are not saying, this
- 5:29is why we say, no, this is why the lady in question is saying,
- 5:33I don't want to get married to you, because you are not my spec
- 5:37or because yes, you're good for relationship, but husband
- 5:42material. Yeah, nothing why I had a
- 5:46husband material? This is what I want to get
- 5:48married to you. And from the look of the video,
- 5:51you could tell that maybe the boy is doing something that she
- 5:54is not in support of, because there are very young couple.
- 5:58I'll for him to have sent us to school pay her bills and did all
- 6:01those things. I think he must be doing
- 6:04something that is not legitimate.
- 6:07I mean, we all know Yahoo. So maybe I I am just thinking
- 6:14out loud. Maybe this is what he was doing
- 6:17and she saw that unfilled. This is not somebody I want to
- 6:20spend the rest of, yes, you're doing all these things.
- 6:22I appreciate you, but this is not somebody.
- 6:25I want to spend the rest of my life with With this is not the
- 6:28career path. I want my children to emulate.
- 6:31This is not somebody, I'm proud of to.
- 6:34Yes, I've gone to school or medication now.
- 6:38But introducing somebody or introducing him to, you know, My
- 6:43Friends Ask paw. This is my husband looking what
- 6:46does your husband do? And you can't even come up with
- 6:50job title for your husband. I think for women, we kind of
- 6:53consider a whole lot of things before saying yes to Amman and
- 6:57on Especially if we are not on that pressure, especially if we
- 7:01are not kind of we're not, you know, if she was pregnant that
- 7:06would have been a different case.
- 7:07We might say, okay, she's accepting that just because
- 7:10she's pregnant. But if a woman that is thinking
- 7:14with a hate, completes be logical that woman will make
- 7:19better choice for ourself and there's nothing wrong with that.
- 7:23So the question now is do we marry for love?
- 7:27Do we marry For Financial Security, do we marry for pity,
- 7:32whether your PC in this person for whatever reason or do we
- 7:37marry for companionship? Do we marry for partnership?
- 7:41I think this is something that is lost in this whole thing
- 7:45because even if you're marrying somebody that you love that
- 7:48person, might not, you might not be compatible with that versus
- 7:53you wake up one day, I'll be like, what am I, what am I will?
- 7:56Do you need this? Your relationship or marriage or
- 7:59whatever it is or if you marry somebody out of Financial
- 8:04Security one day you might be coming dependence and you
- 8:08realize hang on a minute. This is not what I signed up for
- 8:13right now. I can take care of myself.
- 8:15So why am I even in this relationship, in this case of
- 8:18this lady, she might be dating the sky.
- 8:21She was in love with him when they started their relationship
- 8:24and eventually it became Kind of financial dependence because he
- 8:29was not paying her school fees and taking care of our parents
- 8:33at some points. You not stop pitying him.
- 8:36Because like, I can't leave this relationship because this guy
- 8:39has done a lot for me. But at the end of the day, are
- 8:45they compatible to ask yourself? Is this somebody that I can
- 8:49spend the rest of my life with our core values?
- 8:52The same is what we stand for the same.
- 8:56Can we align In terms of how to raise our family or household
- 9:02Beauty, who can we align? And if you cannot align with
- 9:07this person, whether you're marrying, the mouth of Love,
- 9:10whether you marrying them out of pity, what are you marrying
- 9:13them? Out of financial reasons.
- 9:16It is you're always going to have issues.
- 9:18I don't think we're going to tell anybody what to do, or how
- 9:21to love or who to marry people make their choices.
- 9:25Even if at the altar, some Buddy tells you.
- 9:28I don't think I want to marry you.
- 9:31I don't think that should be. It's going to be painful.
- 9:34Yeah, you're going to hurt. It's going to, it's going to be
- 9:38painful but it is better to hear.
- 9:40It's there. And then I mean they said broken
- 9:43engagements is better than a broken marriage.
- 9:46It is what it is. Mari, whoever weather for Love
- 9:51Without for money, whether 44 BC Mary, if he's going, Work is
