10 Signs You Are Long Overdue For Marriage by Crystal70200: 2:52pm On May 05, 2016
Below are the signs that say it is high time you got married:
1. When you keep catching the bride’s bouquet
You have probably attended scores of wedding ceremonies where you keep catching the bouquet. You now have enough bouquets in your house that one could easily mistake it for a flower shop. Remember that catching a bouquet means you would be the next bride. This is a big sign you need to get married.

2. When all your friends are married
If you have been consoling yourself with the saying that there is a time for everything, you need serious help. What other time are you looking for when all your mates are married and you do not have friends to hang out with? Do you have to ridicule yourself any further by becoming a big sis to a group of university girls who are considering getting married themselves?

3. When your friends’ children call you aunty
There is no point watching your friends rebuke their kids each time they call you aunty instead of mummy. That is a big sign you are not young and you need to take life more seriously if you have not been doing so before.

4. When you know the order of event by heart
You have attended series of wedding that you do not need to have the order of event for you to know what point they are at the programme. You know what event comes before what and at what time it should be done. You are so good that you notice when the engager makes a mistake and you even make effort to correct her from your seat. Chaii, your matter is a serious one.

5. When you are older than the other members in your single’s forum
At this point, you do not need anyone to remind you that you need to get married. You are probably the oldest member of the single’s forum organized by the church; the other members are people that were in teenagers’ church when you were in adult church.

6. When everyone has given up on you
Parents are known to be relentless when it comes to certain issues. But in your own case, your parents have left you to do things when you want to because they are tired of saying the same thing over and over. At this point, you need to get married.

7. When you start to calculate the time you first saw your period
You become bothered when you start to calculate how old your first born could have been if you had given birth as soon as you started your period, this is a huge sign you should probably go ahead and marry. At this point, you are sure you could have been a grandma at fifty.

8. When you have enough clothes from other people’s wedding
You have attended enough weddings you have a lot of clothes from being a groom’s man or bride’s maid. It could be so bad that you have every shade of color someone else may be considering for his or her own wedding yet you are still single. It becomes embarrassing when you are tired of people asking you when you they would have to buy clothes for your own wedding too. My brother, it is high time you got married.

9. When the position you are vying for requires you to be married
Another sign that says you ought to get married is when you are vying for a position where the eligible candidates are expected to be married. It could be really embarrassing then when you get screened out for not being married.

10. When you stop craving whores and prostitutes
When the whores and prostitutes you visit often become less desirable, it may be a sign you need something deeper than that. That means it is time to get married and build something meaningful out of life.

Culture, Tradition, society, even laws in some cases, really everything that makes up civilization in Nigeria.

Those who die Single in Nigeria? They become a social pariah. A moral lesson for mothers to point to and tell their daughters "You see that woman. Despite everything she owns, she's not married undecidedundecided".
Any act of good she does will always be seen as "suspicious". Any misconduct and people will pounce on her, telling her that's why she aint married.

You don't believe me?? Look at Linda Ikeji grin

What you are mistaken is "happiness". It doesn't matter what people say. Those saying "that'd why she ain't married" can't say it to her face they only say it behind close doors. This Linda Ikeji you mentioned, she doesn't even know you exist. Let alone this talk including her name.

So most single women don't even know these talks exists amongst society about them specifically. They are living their life happy. I just Googled linda Ikeji and found something. She is the top blogger in Nigeria. How many Nigerian married women have what she has?

My point is, society or tradition or whatever law can never enforce anyone to get married. People will talk and get tired. What matters is the happiness. If marriage makes a person happy, the person can get married but if being single is what makes a person happy, so let the person be single and happy not shoving it down their throat like they are out cast or they aren't human beings

Personally I don't believe in culture or tradition. I do whatever I like because I don't know who created the culture or tradition and I don't care. All I know is myself.

Really inspiring talk.
No really, it is, if only it was applicable in real life.

Of course, one can turn his back on society. One can say "f**k them all" and not give a whit what they think about someone.

Problem is, Society always wins.

Don't believe in Culture? Lol, that's funny.
