REASONS WHY ONE SHOULD MARRY A TEACHER:

WHY TEACHERS MAKE THE BEST WIVES

By Maritim Kipngetich

A teacher attending to pupils. Kenyan men prefer marrying teachers to ladies from other professions.

When it comes to looking for a lady to marry, men are always careful and those who are intelligent enough must be wary about the profession of a wife one wants to marry.

Naturally, men need a wife who must be at home by 5pm to attend to other chores of the family. Attending kids and preparing food are the topmost duties of a working lady.

Forget statistics and consider anecdotal evidence that has persistently shown that marrying a journalist is more risky in terms of divorce than marrying a teacher or a doctor.

Careers that do not expose women to life in the fast lane are generally preferred. Men also perceive certain careers to have a higher promiscuity index than others. They thus prefer careers where they can easily monitor their wives.

The most favoured career by Kenyan men is teaching. Naturally all men went through the hands of teachers when they were in school. Male teachers are always caring and they play mother role when they are teaching children. Disciplinary actions of female teachers will make one’s children to walk in the straight and narrow way.

Teacher’s paltry monthly income also makes them to make good wives. They are always satisfied with the little amount they get every month.

They have more permanent stations mostly in the countryside, thus one can build a family around their career.

Their profession involves guidance and counselling. This helps in teaching the children virtues, thus they have firsthand impact. Most teachers, especially women will practice what they teach. This makes them the best role models.

By virtue of their career, they have to be upright, so naturally they will make good wives.

They earn paltry monthly income and they are too contented with the job to leave. Generally, they are less materialistic compared to women from other professionals. So as a man if you make less, they will remain faithful and still respect you.

They must become popular around the stations they work in. This reduces the chances of them cheating in marriage. They always strive to build a better image around that community. So as a man, you are likely to be comfortable wherever you are.
