Vacancy: Foolish Woman Wanted for Marriage

I am looking for a foolish woman for marriage. Don’t think I am stupid. I am not a dunce. Experience had taught me that just like two wrongs cannot make a right, two wise people cannot find peace under one roof as husband and wife. Isn’t that the silliest thing to say? Wait a minutes before you jump into quick conclusion and thereby book a flight that would take you to gruesome doom.

          Here are my requirements anyway. I am looking for a young woman of no mean intelligence to be my wife. Her beauty is not of much importance to me, but that is not to say that my sense of beauty would not play at all in the choice, for I am a fan of dark tall voluptuous women, with nice breasts on their chests. That is my type of woman. But as you can see, much of the values I attach on a woman are not on things she carries on her body, but on the things that adorn her mind, for they are the things that make marriages work. So I am ready to forgo those attractions I told you that trip me in women and concentrate on what would give me peace.

          Foolish people are the most qualified people to live with in a marriage. In any other life’s endeavour, they may be bad. But in marriage, whatever power that governs unity in marriage had made it that foolishness in one of the couple is a sine-qua-non to have a successful marriage. Wise people are good to work with. But they are useless in marriage. For where two people of great wisdom have neglected this fact and tie themselves in a marriage, it would be difficult to have a head and a helper as God to be head at the same time and nobody would want to be the helper, the relegated one. And that in exactly what fails many marriages. Note; I am not interested on who becomes the head or the helper, whether the man or woman. I am interested on the workability of the marriage; a situation where one of the couple would be foolish enough to live with the wisdom of the other, or better still, a situation where one of the couple would be wise enough to live with the foolishness of the other. That is what I mean. Have I made myself clear enough for you to know where I am coming from? It is not that I don’t admire wise women when I see them, or that I subscribed to the opinion that women must play the second fiddle in every marriage. Where I stand is that in every marriage, the success of it depends on whether one of the couple would be ready to pay the price of being foolish to allow the marriage to live.
