MY FATHER'S ADVICE TO ME WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR A WIFE... by Jerry John Rawlings, the Former President of Ghana.

   My son, I will be very raw and sincere with you. 

Do not worry about the size of a woman buttock 

or breast but worry about the size of her heart 

and brain. Worry about the size of her love and 

endurance. Because after 5 or 10 years, it will 

not 

be about the breast or buttock.

As you can see, your mum now has a flat chest 

and almost flat buttock but we still live together 

happily, I still love her and she still love me.

   Be careful of a woman that loves money. I 

mean 

the woman that talks ‘every time’ about her 

hair, 

cloths, shoes, bags panties and make-ups. 

Marriage is not all about these things. Without 

make-up, cloths, shoes and panties a good 

marriage will still stand but without love, no

marriage can stand.

When I got married to your mum, I didn’t have 

a 

car or house of my own. I was not even 

educated. But I had dreams and she appreciates 

and supports me. Any woman that does not 

support your dream is not worth thinking-a-

minute about. There are women that will see 

your 

dreams better than you, you are lucky if you 

find 

one.

   

My son, open your ears very well, there is a kind 

of woman you should avoid, do not make a 

mistake of marrying this kind of woman or you will 

regret it. I mean a woman that always has bad 

things to say about everyone. If you see this 

kind 

of woman, run away. 

One of the worst kind of 

woman you can marry 

is 

the one that complains about everything. 

If you 

buy this, she says you should have bought that, 

if 

you do this, she said you should have done 

that. 

Please stay away! 

Most women enjoy talking but the one who talks 

for two hours and listen for two minutes is a 

potential ‘bomb’. Be wise !. 

Be very careful of a pretending partner. A 

pretending woman is not hard to know. She will 

always know everything about everything, she 

will 

be careful. Just close your eyes and open your 

heart and you will see!

   No woman is perfect. If you see a woman who 

believes in your dream, who respects you who 

is 

committed and who is not all about herself 

alone 

then don’t let her go. 

But remember, you must not be a wayward 

man. 

I have trained you! 

If you find a good woman but you are a bad 

man, 

you won’t have a good marriage! 

I won’t pick a wife for you but I have given you 

my advice. When you find her, bring her for my blessings. May you find a woman that will increase you not decrease you…
