3 reasons not to marry a female soldier

Truth be told that every relationship has its own difficulties; it just happens that when the Military is involved, there’s a special kind of inevitable obstacles that comes into the conversation, especially as Nigerians, our Men tend to be very sensitive when the female counterpart is in the Military.

My thought is that when you start out dating someone, you hardly think of all the possible obstacles that could arise from it. But know this fact that military life (and military relationships) seem to move just a little faster and need more planning than others. If you as a man, you are thinking of venturing into this path of getting married or dating a female soldier, think through their lifestyle before you jump in, it is a huge challenge dealing with a female soldier.

Below are Reasons for you not to Marry/Date a Female Soldier

1- Don’t Marry Her If You Already Know You Can’t Be Faithful.

What do you do when she is on deployment and separated from you. Can you stay faithful and not stray into the arms of another woman?

Yes, people in the military cheat as do people in the civilian world. But that doesn’t mean everyone does, that we all agree with it, or that it’s even the “norm.” You will be separated from the person you love at some point during their career in the military. If you need physical touch and constant communication so that you won’t stray, you need to start considering marrying someone else that's not in the Military because deployment is unavoidable.

2- Don’t Date/Marry Her If You’re Not Resilient.

Life of a Military woman is already hard enough without marriage. They are going to move. They leave their family and friends (over and over again). If you as a man cannot put up with their deployment, weird shifts, emergencies, trainings, and a whole bunch of other stuff that will happen at inopportune times, then my advice is do not marry or date her biko, just advice yourself as a guy and stay clear let men with resilience dive in.

3-Don’t Date or Marry Her If all You Care About is just Rank

This one is very core to warn men or should I say guys that just want to show off to people that they are dating or married to a uniform woman.

Uniforms are cute and all and ceremonies are exciting, but really, if you’re attached to the rank rather than the person, do yourself a favor and get out now. That’s not a healthy way to begin a relationship or enough reason to be in a marriage. It is so not fair to the woman involved. If you don't love her and only care about the prestige that goes with it, bro, just don't do it. It's not wise.
