  • ONE MAN, ONE WIFE - DotCom 7 months ago

    One man, one wife makes a secured, happy home. Having relationships outside marriage is a selfish behaviour. Wife and children would be crying at home while you entertain your chick. Think carefully and stop it.

    Side chicks are saviours. Honour them. If not for side chicks many marriages would have broken down. If you marry one woman she'll fight with you; if you marry two women they'll fight over you. The uninitiated will not overst ...

    @ Give Us Barabas, your comparison of Ghc2 to those day's 20,000 cedis di not factor in inflation for value. In about 2007, $1 was equivalent to ghc1 which in turn was equivalent to 10,000 cedis. Therefore ghc2 was 20,000 ced ...
