    1. In this case, I learn about African marriage a lot, about their traditions and the way to do the arrangements, I really like know about this because let me see the beauty about weddings, specially the African weddings, the importance that they give to te marriage, the significant symbol that they create at the moment to do the union in front the altar.

    2. Because she live other lifes, not the own like should be. Don't aprecciate it her own stuff, her own happiness and joy and she just hate other people and herself, like Omo, Ayo's neighbour, that feel jelousy about Ayo because she had better gifts and presents from Ajayi, and that Ayo will not need her more, Omo feel, in someway, forgotten.

    3. A man should feel respect and happiness, since the fisrt time that God see they in the altar, he should feel love and want to bear children with her and give them love as he give love to his wife.

    What did you learn about the importance of marriage in this story?

    The importance of marriage in history was that people who lived together without being married were not seen by the church, and on certain days the church spoke badly about these people.

    Why can women feel jelous or angry in front of the joy of other?

    I think that his neighbor felt superior when lending him his ring since it was something that ayo did not have. That's why when I told her that she was going to marry, she reacted badly because she lost that "superiority"

    How should a man feel about his wife?

    I should feel accompanied since a wife would be as a fundamental part for the man as he completed it that is to say Ajayi should feel complete.

    The marriage is important in this story because it was believed that they showed the love and commitment they felt also were religious then the ceremony was very important. The women to fell underestimate because usually the woman to dream with a marriage and a ring, so in the story she felt that the other women were superior to her because they had something that she did not. He should feel accompanied and supported by his wife and willing to perform all the ceremonies that are important.

    What did you learn about the importance of marriage in this story?
    In "The truly married woman" I learn that that a marriage is very important in the religion and the life of the people, because they were very influence for the church, in this case, Ajayi felt bad when the priest speak out violenty against unmarried couples living together. Also, when other people went to their house, they had to seemed that they were married.The marriage was celebrated for both families, the family of the bride and the family of the bridegroom, and it was a big celebration.

    Why can women feel jelous or angry in front of the joy of other?
    Because the marriage give more importance to people, for the sister, she was worried that Ayo would become more important in the family than she was. And for Omo, because Ayo always borrow her ring, and now she has her own ring. Now, they are not more superior than Ayo.

    How should a man feel about his wife?
    The man should feel proud and comfortable with his wife, but also he have to respect his wife, women are not servants of men. the men should love his wife, and they have to make a family with her.

    I learn that the marriage is create a project life with other person, a sentimental connection with the correct person. For this the marriage is the most important event in the life of the couple, because the relation beetween in the couple change to convert the biggest expression of love.
    Also in the story, the neighbour Omo begin feel jelous and angry for the Ayo’s joy. The women can feel like Omo because, is very common that the women dream with the happiness of the marriage and the wife condition, because is a dream which the family inculcate on the women’s mind since the infancy, and for this the women feel envy by the dream make reality for other couples.
    Ajayi, in the story feel that Ayo and him, lived as a married couple when the reality was the opposite, but the proyect of life which they created was the life of a serious cuple and the marriage was the way to formalize. A man should feel that his couple is the person who complete his life, a woman who need more respect and love than a mistress.

    What did you learn about the importance of marriage in this story?
    A: The importance of marriage in this story is that the society i saw married couples as something clean, so to speak, besides that for the characters in this case, it can be said that it cost them to make this decision, since they were previously lovers. Another factor that greatly influenced was the photo, since it made them reflect on what they really wanted, that is, they wanted to be that happy family in the photo.

    Why can women feel jelous or agry in front of the joy of other?
    A: By envy, that is, they are not satisfied with what they have, that is, when they see that someone is a bit happier, or happier than them, they get angry, because they know that at that moment they can not have it.

    How should a man feel about his wife?
    A: He must feel happy, affectionate, proud, that is to say, he must love her, because his wife is something, that is, it is not something that is taken very lightly.

    Ajayi and Ayo are happy whether married or not. 12 years living together and they are loving each other and comfortable.Their greatest undoing is giving in to the society's expectation about a proper marriage.
