It is alarming to know how a lot of singles are not marriage materials but are looking for marriage. Some ladies of today are looking for husband material when they know very well they are not wife material. Just as no one invests in something which has no future, no man will spend a dime with the aim of getting married to you if you refuse to add value to your life to become a marriage material first.
Many singles are out of order; with no work, no place of abode, no plan for the future, still perching with their friends and relying on parents for survival, yet are out there looking for a life partner. It is a total shame you don't have money to get a new boxer short but you are busily chasing a lady for sex, a lady for whom you don't have what it takes to give her a new pant, even if she marries you.
Some ladies are putting pressure on men to come and see their families, to take them to the alter, whilst they have no moral standards, sleep with guys without knowing their surname, home or family. A wife material does not sleep with a boyfriend rather a husband.
Instead of looking for a job to afford their basic needs, they are rather looking for men and pressurizing them for marriage and by so doing they can be taken care of.
If you have to get into a relationship just for help or to meet your needs, pay bills, school fees, rent, etc. then you are not a marriage materials. If all you do is to borrow clothes, take pictures with them, upload on social media just to get a guy to date, then you are not a marriage material.
There are ladies who cannot cook for themselves, wash their own clothes, clean their own home, or take better care of themselves but are in relationships and keep asking themselves, why is he not coming forward to ask for my hand in marriage? For some the men have gone for an engagement list from their family yet have no plans of getting married to them.
The reason why he is not getting married to you is because he doesn't see a wife in you. You are not a wife material to him but he is comfortable having you as a girlfriend because you are a "girlfriend material".
Just as no one puts money into a vending machine when it is out of order, so would a man never put something in a woman when she is out of order. If you can't help him to help you by putting your life in order, how can you help your marriage in the future when he marries you?
And guys, if you have your life in order, ready for marriage and meet a woman who has all it takes to be a wife for you, don't play with her. Don't waste her time.
If she can cook a meal in this world full of restaurants and processed microwaveable food, you have a wife material. If she can make time wash in the mist of all the laundry, you can be assured you have a wife material.
If you meet a woman who puts the things of God above telenovela and want to spend more time with you than the television, in this world of soap operas, then you can be sure you have found a wifely material.
If she claims to be in love with you yet very selfish, always at the receiving end, can't do anything without expecting something in return then she is not wife material. You can't have a lasting marriage without God's building material called love. If you meet someone who loves to serve and help others without asking for anything in return, who is selfless not selfish, then you have found a wife.
This is a woman who can give you the view of the future through their own actions and eyes. Be with someone who is trustworthy for you don't have to rely on their "Trust Me" for their actions spoke the truth you need.
In conclusion "Our purpose is to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others" - 2 Corinthians 8:21 (GNT)

Cambodia Khmer Culture


Mike never forgot the time when an invitation from Dr Sok Chenda was delivered to his home in Phnom Penh inviting him to stay with her in Samrong during Pchum Ben. During the festival that year, he visited the pagoda, which was near Chenda's house, almost every evening. Usually, by the time he arrived there, the monks had already said their prayers for the ancestors, but he was always in time to observe the people, mostly adults, distribute balls of rice in small banana leaf plates around the building.

On the fourteenth evening of the festival, Mike noticed that the pagoda, with its gold Buddhas and colourful gods, looked more beautiful than usual. Chenda explained that the people had helped the monks to clean and decorate it for the special prayers and ceremonies that would last all night. Mike stayed for a short time, but then went home to sleep. When he woke up early on the final day of the festival, he was surprised to see that nobody had yet returned from the pagoda. Eventually Chenda arrived home and had a short rest. Then, at lunchtime, she returned to the pagoda with special food for the monks to dedicate to the ancestors.

After the dedication, in the early evening, more gifts were offered to the ancestors in people's homes. Then, early the next morning, Chenda took Mike down to the river. By the time they reached it, most of the people from the village had already put their gifts into small boats made from banana trunks. As they pushed them out, Mike heard them say, "Please go back safely". Mike reflected how gentle these people's religion seemed and how lucky they were to have such strong faith in it.

Last month, Sopha introduced her neighbor to her sister, Dr Chenda. It was an emergency. Her neighbor, Sinourn, was feeling very sick. Sopha told Dr Chenda that Sinourn was in pain, because she had been badly beaten by her husband. "When he gets home from work, he argues with her," Sopha explained. "He asks her for money to buy rice wine and if she refuses, he hits her. If he'd beaten her any more, I don't know what would have happened, but, fortunately, he was arrested just in time and put in the local jail."

For Dr Chenda this was a sad but familiar story. She knew lots of husbands and fathers who, although they sometimes helped with the housework and looked after the children, still claimed that a mother's place was in the home and that a wife's duty was to obey her husband. It was because of such ideas that women like Sinourn were kept like prisoners in their own homes. In fact Sinourn had only managed to escape from her 'prison' when her husband had been taken away by the police.

If Dr Chenda hadn't known about and become interested in human rights and, more particularly, women's rights, perhaps she too would have shared these traditional ideas. Instead, however, she supported human rights and had become actively involved in the rights of people who had a weak position in society : the poor, children, minority groups and, of course, women. Especially those who, like Sinourn, were victims of violence. And, as a doctor, she sometimes found herself in a good position to help some of them.

After about a week, the police invited Sinourn to go to the police station to make a formal complaint against her husband. Sinourn, however, who was still feeling dizzy and weak, didn't know whether she wanted to or not. As well as herself, she had her children to think of. If her husband was kept in jail, what would happen to them ? They needed the money that he earned, even if he did quarrel and spend too much money on rice wine.

Cambodia




Under a hot sun, a car from The South East Asia Hotel collected Simone Fox from Pochentong International Airport. At the hotel, a large gentleman with a grey beard was waiting for her. Professor Martin Green introduced himself before taking Simone to the market, where he had lost the rare liquid. "This is where it happened," Martin explained. "I bought a ring at this shop, but when I went to put it in my bag, it had disappeared." "What ? The ring ?" asked Simone. "No, the bag," explained Martin.


"I saw a woman take it," the shopkeeper said. "I told my husband, but he said she was probably his wife, so I didn't do anything." "These witnesses saw a woman take your bag, Martin. Do you remember any woman standing near you at the time ?" asked Simone. "No, but there are probably a lot of shoplifters around here," Martin replied. "I came with my friend, Dr Linda Croft. By the time I'd bought the ring, however, she'd already left. She said it was hot and had a headache." "Who's Dr Linda Croft ?" asked Simone. "One of the scientists attending the conference," Martin answered. "I shall have to investigate her, when we get back," said Simone. "Oh, you couldn't possibly suspect her," continued Martin. "She's such a nice, helpful woman. She even helped me yesterday with the lock on my door." "What happened ?" asked Simone. "Well, I couldn't lock my door, because the lock had been damaged. Linda kindly offered to mend it for me, but I didn't like to waste her time and changed rooms instead."

Back at the hotel, Simone checked the lock on Martin's old room and then his friend, Dr Linda Croft, on her computer. As she thought, Linda Croft was not a scientist at all. She was a well-known spy. "She will have left her room by the time I reach it," Simone thought as she picked up the phone. Linda Croft was waiting for the next flight to Bangkok at Pochentong International Airport. Her baggage had been checked through to London. Simone relaxed in her room. "The police will have prepared their trap at Heathrow Airport by the time she arrives," she reflected. "What a relief. Now I can relax and read the newspaper."
