Timeless marriage advice for women.
Elderly women offered practical marriage advice emphasizing the importance of money, knowing family dynamics, having written agreements, and maintaining skills.
So, listen up! I used to teach in a school in the countryside with kids and some fierce elderly women who dropped some marriage wisdom that still hits home today. A-san, 85 at the time, told me about her mother’s advice: “Find a man who values his money but isn’t cheap when it counts.” Her family background taught her the importance of quality over quantity. They saved but also spent on things that matter, like good education for their kids. In a world where many are struggling financially, this old advice is practical—buy things that last and save in the long run.
Another gem came from B-san, 91, who said, “Know the family before tying the knot. If you can't stand them for a day, run!” Solid advice for anything in life: if your surroundings don’t fit, it’s time to reconsider. C-san, 87, provided a reality check about marrying for love—“Get everything in writing!” Prenups aren’t romantic, but they protect you if things go south. Multiple women echoed the need for skills to survive a potential divorce. Life’s unpredictable, so stay ready—keep learning and developing to secure your future. What do you think? Agree, disagree?
