philusaau: i have got no job and i am getting married thins year. What most people do not understand is this. There are some blessings attached to marriage.
Guy u need to be financially matured.You dont need to have millions bf ur matured financially.You shd be able to feed urself and ur wife and probably have resource for at least a twin incase God over BLESSED you.At least a place of abode,a regular income job and you are good to go. We dont need to produce children at the mercies of neighbours and friends they have their own 5 n 6 too.

pato405: doesn't always work that way..

how about those who had lucrative jobs but lost it shortly after marriage, or those who had nothing,took a step of faith into it and got enviable jobs immediately after matrimony.

just try your best & leave the rest. sometimes, providence has something beyond your imagination in store for u
God bless u

Personally , I tink its a thin of choice , for instance , if I truly love my man and he isn't so financially stable and he is got potentials , ill marry him I for one don't ebven want the flambouyant wedding , we cud do a low key wedding , I know on my own am not a lazy woman , we both wd pt heads together , drink that garri together and see to it that we become made. Once a man is hardworking and smart success isn't far anymore . As a woman I also need to look at our financial capabilty before having babies , so far we can rent a house and feed and transport , 2 heads are always better dan one , so far the man and the woman work hard , if I can date a man why wnt I marry him ? ?? But den again sme men tend to forget in a hurry the woman who stood by them wen dey had nothing ...
My advice is , you don't have to be millionaire before u marry , at the same time don't be a lazy man that's wen I will not marry you .

You must be an ugly girl.

A beautiful woman with loads of suitors will not settle for 'Drinking Garri'

the guy spoke the truth. no need to be defensive.
if you are having suitors left and right. and have a choice between a financially stable good man or a broke good man. all women in their right senses will choose the good stable guy. this is not rocket science. just common sense.
i'm sure men also will not think twice to choose between a good beautiful girl and a good ugly girl.

no need to be so disrespectful about women.
all u need to say is to advice men not to marry above their means. imagine a poor broke guy chasing after a miss world or a woman not in his league. of course he will be TOO poor for her.
then no need to be bitter or calling a woman gold digging azzz just because she's just not ur type. move on and marry a more homely or modest looking woman who can complement you. ie marry a makoko slum looking woman if ur finances resemble a makoko slum man LOL
we all know most men want a hot, beautiful, high maintenance woman to show off to their friends but plz be reasonable.. be honest first to yourself and also to others.

cut your coat according to your cloth and u will have no problems.


Sorry but i failed to see where and how i disrespected women....are there no gold digging-asss women? All i said was if one is has a gold diggin-asss fiance...then it would be advisable to be financially stable before marring her....and for the record...not only beautiful girls are gold diggers....ive dated gorgeous girls that were completely humble and cared less about money....as long as one has a stable job....that all u need for marriage...a stable job...if a women is asking for more than a stable job...then you have a gold diggin-asss fiance chalay.... and i would advice you to run for your life....

It doesn't...I honestly just think you're ugly based on your comments. Generally speaking, only ugly/deformed/old cargo women have to settle for for anything.
Truly beautiful women always have a host of suitors to choose from and as such can never be seen with POOR men.

Once again exposing the fact that you are ugly.
No Beautiful woman is interested in looking at a man's potential because they can have already MADE men. Because the made men are already taken, the ugly girls have to roam further afield to scout for men with POTENTIAL similar to how Big and Small Football Clubs operate.
It is completely natural to be ugly so you shouldn't get angry at what I said.

You are an Ugly Girl. Embrace your Talent.

Huh? When did I say a woman has to sit around and just relax?
Both of them have to be financially stable i.e stable job = stable income.
Marriage, almost all the time, leads to offsprings.....so if we're going to talk about marriage, we need to talk about children.

Anyway, this is where I leave the discussion. Goodnight.

Re: Men: Do You Have to Be Financially Stable Before Marriage or Not? by Nobody: 3:49pm On May 11, 2013
Eh? Who wants to marry and suffer? He has to be financially stable before we can get married, or he must have sensible ambitions/good future prospects and must be hard working. Of course I have a job and I will work as well to support him.
Financial stability is necessary. I won't wanna have kids and not be able to provide for them properly.

Every sensible man should be financially stable before starting a family, unless he wants to start a family and have his family suffer or go through hardship.
Or he can afford to get married and they both work hard and have enough to raise a family. I'm very concerned about kids coming to the world to suffer cause their parents didn't plan well or cause their parents were foolish.

Financial stability is necessary!

Eh? You have no job and you Are proudly getting married this year with the claims that 'blessings are attached to marriage' meaning you feel after marriage, heaven will open and cash will drop for you?
Do you know who I pity in this your situation? I pity the foolish woman that has agreed to marry you.

Blessings attached to marriage are usually: unexpected favours, divine security (where you must have a praying spouse), etc. Blessings attached to marriage doesn't mean you will be picking $100 on the road daily ooooo kai! #smfh

There must be one that came first and whom you first agree to go out with and as long you have giving your word to that man nothing should change you.A descent woman should stick to the man that came first in her life irrespective whether he is rich or poor.

the next time u see a miss world or miss nigeria drinking garri with broke husband on d side of the street, let me know.
most of those women will rather stay unmarried than marry a broke guy. this is fact.

besides,why do u fault a beautiful girl for seeking a financially stable guy.

now u are talking. if 'those' men were like u, then there won't be a problem.
advice those men to also go for makoko slum girls rather than chasing after high maintenance women who are clearly not meant for a broke guy.
the one that went and proposed is a big fool. if u haven't advised him to cancel d engagement, then u are a bad friend.

I sound very unserious for stating exactly what many GIRLS have said on this very thread?

You sound like someone with low self esteem who is unwilling to accept the simple truth - Beautiful women do not Marry POOR men.... They may marry UGLY men( e.g Heidi Klum and Seal), They may marry outside their religion(Janet Jackson and her Arab Boyfriend), They marry old men( 80 year old Hugh Hefner and his 20 year old wives) BUT NEVER a POOR MAN.

as far as I know, "financial stability" is very relative. Everyone has different needs and different definition of stability. even shoemakers and gate-men have wives. The only difference is that a financially stable man has more options than a poor man in picking the most beautiful or desired woman. that's the only difference.
so if u are broke, you can still marry. just that you shouldn't expect to have a lot of options. that's all.

I love this piece kiss. I noticed that when the issue of money comes into pre-intimacy in marriage or relationship, most guys object the idea of being financially stable before u can plunge into it. why This could only comes from 'broke' guys or the lazy ones who still want to enjoy both ways preaching LOVE as the most imoprtant factor. It is these set of people that implore their girlfriends to do abortions all because there's no money yet. Then why not work hard in your prime and stop messing around with girls or better still go with your level and be over with this gold-digging redundancy undecided
