Is It Proper For Mothers To Be Matchmakers? by demzylahot(m): 8:53pm On May 09, 2016 |
It's becoming a common trend mothers matchmaking their children,this is largely due to the same old story "husbands are scarce". Bringing two people who may not be attracted to each other with the hope of marriage could be dangerous. The husband materials are mostly discovered in workplaces, church etc,the mother finding him fit to tie the nuptial knot with her beloved daughter. Employment, accommodation etc are mostly used to entice such men.In fact some mothers go as far as housing the guy for a long period of time to create the much needed attraction between the pair |

No, it's not proper because it could backfire.if eventually the man is not even half of what he pretends to be..besides,you'l be the one to live with the man not your mother...one's happiness should always come first !.follow your heart. |

If the man has never been married, nothing wrong with it. Op mind your own business if it doesnt concern you. |

My happiness i will not marry anyone because someone says so NEVER EVER WILL I except if God says yes I follow suit |

Sometimes it is necessary if the man is shy or for whatever reason, reluctant to marry and not because of religious conviction. |

if you ask me it could be cool sometimes esp if the girl won't just marry and she's getting too old... They don't have to force it tho , that will be too awkward and could spoil everything. Simple gestures like Have u met James Nancy? James meet Nancy, fullstop is just enough for any sharp parent... However, I'll like to add that this kind of thing is not new ; in traditional Africa ; I know of the Yoruba's for sure for sure. Its peculiar to Muslims too I think, most of the time , it ends up well. |

Well I don't see anything wrong with it so long as its not been imposed. If one is cool with their folks doing the match making then pls ride on. Whether you find the person yourself or ya mum does the finding, its all a means to the ultimate end "marriage". Most times people don't care about the means. |

Re: Is It Proper For Mothers To Be Matchmakers? by jmoore(m): 8:58am On May 21, 2016 |
You are single and not in a relationship, then your mom introduces a lady to you. As time flies, you find out that this lady got what you need in a wife. Are you going to let her go because it was your mom that found her, huh? There is nothing wrong with matchmaking, just make sure the person is your type before you can go ahead for marriage. |

No, that's weird. Ha! Her taste in men might be off for starters. She might choose some fatherly type But on the same breath, might not be such a bad idea since some of us tend to go for the same douchebags over & over again. Someone else's pick might actually be the right choice. |

Well, I won't say it is right or wrong. Although, I can't consider going into such a relationship because there is already room for third party interference which I detest. If the guy's mother is the matchmaker, then directly or indirectly, the lady will likely be married to both mother and son. |
