Do women from these regions match anyone or….

Living

They say a good marriage is made in Heaven, but what happens when couples are communities apart? Can intermarriages survive the storm?

Feelanga free: Women from the Coast, the Swahilis, Giriamas and Bajunis of this world, somehow can marry virtually from any of Kenya’s 42 communities.

Because the Coast is a place full of diversity and influences from around the world, it makes them tolerant of other cultures besides their good human nature.

The other community with such a tendency are the Kambas.

Their women can settle anywhere and without complaining, due to ecological factors that make Kambaland a hardship area by all global accounts.

The only odd one out here is the Somali woman. Her religion, culture, food, lifestyle and traditions see to it that she mostly fits with fellow Somalis.

 

'Matches' that might just work

Luo man, Luo woman

This is a relationship that can only work if Akende doesn't earn more than Owino. If it does, well, maybe Owino 'amekaliwa chapati' moto.

Indeed, a marriage between a Luo woman and a Luo man is one that's always in a 'state of emergency', especially if both partners are in high flying careers. Peace Time is mostly achieved when such couples are busy in bed after a session of drowning Sir Edward's, blended Scotch whisky.

Luo's have egos the size of a small Pacific Island.

Having such two people in the same house is a recipe for marital disaster.

Luo men also believe if a Luo woman makes kidogo money she has ways of making the man 'see dust' in that house. "

The opposite of the Luo woman is the Luhyia woman who make good matches. 

A Kikuyu woman, Kikuyu man

This relationships works when one party, read Gacheri, is trying to gain something from Kamande, before the union eventually goes down Sagana River after the fifth born leaves the nest.

Few Kikuyu men can stand a woman who is more successful, unless he's leaching on one half his age.

Is this why a loaded Kikuyu woman makes for the best sugar mummy?

The major complain of Kikuyu women is that their men are tightwads, living on shoe string budgets, even for the relatively well to do.

Kikuyu men on the other hand find their women too uptight, ordering mukimo and Pilsner dressed in Savco jean skirts.

According to an impromptu survey, the best Kikuyu wives are women from Murang'a. They are said to be submissive homemakers who will start out with a man cooking nyoyo using a paraffin stove and stand by him as he gradually acquires enough mullah to treat her at Hemingways Karen.

A Kikuyu woman from Kiambu, on the other hand, is generally money minded, from a history of bringing wiry men home only to be asked "huyu kwanza ame kula?"

'Mang'aa' Nyeri women are brainy, not money minded but could do better fighting Al Shabaab with the Kenya Defense Forces, than making pulp of their men at home-which they take care of like colonialists!

A Kamba man, Taita woman

Both are diminutive by nature. Both are docile. Both love small time fun. Theirs is more of a brother/sister union where everybody seems to smile but someone's heart could be bleeding.
