So this guy married a woman and just after 2 months, the marriage landed in divorce because she got bad BO.
“He told Xinhua news: “Whenever I asked her when she was late, she would say she was putting on make up but now I know the answer. She was trying hard to cover up her body odor!” said the angry Li Fan, who felt he was cheated.”
This also reminded me of the news article I read about a girl who divorced a guy after just 24 hours of marriage when she discovered that he had erection problems.
To me, the man and woman who left their spouses had every right to do so because their spouses were not being truthful.
The way to go is, before you get married, you need to clear everything out. You need to tell each other problems that both of you have kept hidden, if any. Cut all the flowery talk for one second and discuss honestly and to the point.
Here is a list of the things I came up with for you to discuss with your future spouse before both of you sign on the dotted line.
1) Does your partner or his/her family owe huge sums of debts?
Money is a common problem for Singaporeans. So even though the girl may not owe any money, her family might and her family’s problem will eventually creep to be your problem. Ask how much and create a plan to see if you are able to pay this off.
2) Is your partner sexually promiscuous?
Guys and gals this day and age have eroding morals with religion taking a back seat so you gotta be sure if he/she is STD free. If you need to go through a blood test, by all means do so.
3) Do any of you have any ailments?
Do tell your partner if you have any illness that he/she might not be aware of. I know some people have problem with snoring, some have Irritable Bowel syndrome where they need to go to the toilet constantly, etc. I read a guy who needs to literally tape his man boobs so as to avoid embarrassing perspiration marks on his shirt. Whatever it is, be adult about it and state your case even though he/she might leave you.
4) Career/Education Plans
Voice out any long term career/education plans because a studying spouse would mean delayed baby plans.
5) Do not discuss and share details about prior sins.
This info does not benefit and since you guys love one another and hence thinking about marriage, it will only bring emotional harm. Once you repent of your sins, never mention it to anyone else. If you have STD, just mention the STD part and not how many partners you been with etc.
And this one is for Muslims…
6) Islamic knowledge
Islamic Knowledge is extremely important for Muslims as this is the backbone of a successful family. Discuss the level of Islamic knowledge each of you possesses. A wife that is lacking in faith would mean a disobedient wife and a husband that is lacking in faith means he cannot lead the family effectively.
May all of you have a happy, blessed marriage ![]()
