Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by larimo(m): 10:29am On Jul 04, 2011
What is your opinion? Is it advisable for a lady (working or not) to marry a guy that is jobless?
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by femmy2010(m): 11:38am On Jul 04, 2011
If she is working and the guy isn't just sitting idle regards searching for a job then u can marry him.

You must be new here. It is the unquestionable law of the land that a woman should not only marry a man with just a job but a very high paying one. Nobody will let their daughter do otherwise. Deal with it jobless men or better still get a job. smiley

The reason for the question is the attitude that do arise from such men in their homes, where their wives are breadwinners. I think a high percentage of these men struggle with this.
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by MissIfe(f): 2:35pm On Jul 04, 2011
It is not the easiest situation to start a marriage. The man might not be comfortable with his wife being the breadwinner, and they would need to delay other plans (children, house etc.) until his situation improves. If the situation lasts, it can be very challenging for the couple. However, if a man has [i]currently [/i]no job but has plans for the future, prospects and hopefully some savings, and if the wife feels ready to take the financial responsibilty for a while, why not? But they should really think things through, sometimes waiting for a year or two can make things easier, it also depends on their age and the time they have already spent dating.

Hierachy of needs says a man will get a job first to get clothing, food and shelter then marry a wife for procreation. If not he may be like the banker's husband utterly frustrated and take his resentment out on her. 1st things 1st.
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by GemPearly: 9:52am On Jul 05, 2011
No. it wouldn't encourage a very comfortable living and happy environment for you and for him as well, considering he knows what he's ought to do as a man. Let him get workin first, all other things would then easily fall in place
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by obowunmi(m): 10:49am On Jul 05, 2011
A real man would never put himself in such a position. How will you fend for your family ? Only a fool will marry a woman with no job. A big fool. How woman go take respect you if you no get kudi.
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by Andrew3(m): 12:14pm On Jul 05, 2011
the question is how to get married without a job? how to pay the bride price, the party(although not neccesary) maybe mass wedding grin

IF YOUR QUESTION IS ' SHOULD A LADY MARRY A JOBLESS MAN' THEN THE ANSWER IS A FULL 'YES', ON THE CONDITION THAT THE LADY HERSELF HAS A JOB, AFTERALL A WOMAN CAN DO WATEVA A MAN CAN, BUT IF THE ISSUE IS 'SHOULD A JOBLESS LADY MARRY A JOBLESS MAN', my hand no dey for dat one, Shekinah

Jobless marrying Jobless and Job marry Job, it should be that way, what would happen if the man after getting married lost his Job, kill the wife like the recent news that happened or kill himself?

Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless?

I don't understand this question. All the female loud-mouths who shout about equality in marriage should rather answer the reverse question: Should a Man marry a Lady who is Jobless? I'm sure most people wouldn't see the big deal in that. . . "as long as he loves her". In fact that question would even be seen as ridiculous and needless. Double-standards, right? Go figure.

All these kinda threads all the time, are u people not tired of creating similar threads all the time? undecided
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by Abanicwise(m): 2:50pm On Jul 05, 2011
To start with,d question is can a man marry a jobless woman? If d answer is yes,then the riddle is solved. But d only thing I will not advice is for a lady to marry a guy without a promising future,d likes of no education,no plan,cos d greatest tragedy that can befall a woman is to marry a total liability as a hubby.
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by ogospec(f): 2:57pm On Jul 05, 2011
YES! if the man is ambitious and work towards getting ajob and the lady is already working. then the man shouo know that 70%of the house chores is for him untill he gets a job.
because it will be unfair if the wife
1 go to work
2 brings money
3 go to market , cooks and feeds the man
4 suffer the haet of pregnancy
5 and other house keeps and chores.
I dont believe in all this gender responsibility, Marriage is for completness, God noticed the incompleteness of  Adam  that was why He created Eve.

Why not!
As long as the guy is not a lazy one nor a day dreamer.
God knows what the future holds.
One thing i hate is for a man to sit down at home 24/7, even if he doesn't have a regular job he must just go out and come back everyday.
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by bizmogule(m): 4:28pm On Jul 05, 2011
