I am working on an article on relationships and marriages. In my part of the world marriage feels like punishment on the female gender. In the days of old as I learnt, it was the responsibility of the man to provide and protect the family but in todays society, men relax and have the women do almost everything. I observed this most in Nigeria or African. women grow old faster once married. I take instances from my neighbours, family and the society. The man on any day wakes up, take his bath, dress up, eat and off to work if he has one. The woman is the cook, launder, housekeeper, nanny, hand lady, errand girl, cleaner, and she must be working etc. just name it and she must not complain, she must not be tired. For real this is happening dont think am just assuming. I see it live. Why is it so? I once asked a man in this case, why he maltreats his wife like a slave and he said no reasonable man is allowed to do house chores or assist in anything. The work of the man is to bring money thats all. Can this be true? Will you like your sisters, daughters, neighbours, friend be treated badly in the name of marriage? Lets talk. No abuses or insult please. I need soul lifting contribution.

Marriage shouldn't be a punishment at all. My experience in marriage so far has been very amazing. Everything is all about understanding. My husband helps me do house chores when ever he can, but that doesn't make it his duty. I have always appreciated him for helping out and he does it on his on will. Don't treat your partner bad or as a slave. Love should lead us all.

A marriage is not a punishment I'm already can be your punishment when you are not prepared to marry so if you are prepared to get money and you will see the sweetness of Mary in that marriage never one day be a punishment if it's a punishment for a pill that does not have money but incapable of maintaining their family or taking care of their family so it is people that will say that marriage is punishment to
