It's funny, having come from a point of not believing in marriage at all other than being prosaic, but seeing friends do the same, and observing the effects of various domestic situations on children through out ,I've kind of come round to thinking it does have a point.

Welcome to maturity sxb. you have finally made it!!

Weddings are some of the funnest weekends I've ever had.

It's like a birthday party. No one actually cares that the earth has rotated around the sun "x" amount of times since they were born. It's just a randomly chosen moment of significance and a good excuse to get everyone together for a celebration. Life would be boring without that

A man who competes with his wife's earnings I don't think loves her very much or he suffers from egoistic issues. Stay away from those type of men. Secondly in Islam what's ours is ours and what's his is ours. Alhamdulilah. Why stress with 9-5.. I would happily be a stay at home wifey. As easily as I could be out there making a dollar or two.

@Sophi, I never had a drink in my life (and not going to as I was never interested in alcohol) and never have been to a night club either, can you believe? But swinger parties? My # 1 wish to Santa every year.

Sophi, just 4 more years may you stay single.

Quit pulling our leg you are either straight-edged *one of us*, or you are not. You can't straddle the fence dammit.

Just say no to STIs.

I see it now. Osman - A few years later, a couple venereal diseases and cirrhosis of the liver from consuming too many spirits. He will lament on how he never changed his ways. It could have been semi-consistent hanky panky *marriage* but he ruined it all for not having any faith.

Hilaac what do you have in mind?

[StormShadow]

Currently on a train, I will tell you when I get off. In the mean time stay lowkey.

I told you the truth, Soph. I aint interested in religion AND still have character and decency.

What you're forgetting is the fact that I am - and will always be - Somali, young lady. You don't have to be religious to be a decent human being.

What about if the woman is the one competing, either making equally or more than him and accepts her.. Does that also mean she doesn't love him enough and is suffering from egoistic issues? and would a better solution be to drop her and go for the stay home wifey, who will basically do her things and leeching

Some men though admire women, who is competent,not sure if it's a bad thing......A good looking woman with some is just what they want and need


ps: always assumed Amira was the whip cracking type so I must stop with these stereotypes

It wasn't long ago that Xalimos were saying, I didn't go to college for 4 yrs to sit around, take care of the kids, and cook 3 meals a day. Faraxs love to cash that fat paycheque you bring home. No way, you aint going back to the kitchen.

Dude we weren't saying you are not capable of virtue because you aren't a fan of organized religion, like the rest of us. Let me guess you are a humanist?

Easy with the young lady thing, it is a tad patronizing.

I don't think you follow my sense of humour.

Are you serious or you're just messing with me?

What do you make of this statement:

"I like - and will always like - Somalinet, Sulfur."

lolz

I am not comfortable with putting myself into any category to be honest. But some might say I might be an agnostic? Don't know and don't care. If I have to describe myself I would rather say 'confused'.

PS: What about if I am older than you? Can I get a pass with the 'young lady' thing?

PPS: I quite enjoy your humor but I thought you were curious in this instance and I was trying to be (kinda) straightforward with the answers. Or am I missing something?

[Malachite]

EDIT: LOL my bad. It didn't look like you were addressing her with the "young lady" part, it's almost 5 am and I can barely keep my eyes open.....Do continue
