My Family Wants Me To Marry For Money. by septua: 3:33pm On Sep 05, 2012
Hi.i am young woman in my early 20s. I have been seeing a young man of 30 for about a year now and about 2 months ago he started talking about marriage plans although he hasn't proposed but i took that as one.

He has rented a 3 bedroom apartment and promised to take me to his parents towards the end of the year. Long story short we planned to get married next year.

I trust him although i fear he might disappoint me as he is still struggling. But 3 weeks ago my people called me home from were i was doing my service to meet a man that has come for my hand in marriage. The man is handsome and wealthy but he is 16 years older than me and that alone makes me uncomfortable. Plus i dont really like him.

we seem not to have much in common, But my mum and my aunty have been begging me to marry him as we are sort of going through financial breakdown and they see him as a kind of saviour. Plus my mums pastor says he has seen the marriage in vision before now.

The marriage will be done in less than 4 months if i say yes, And if i say no then i will have to wait for my man till mid next year.

So i ask please will you consider your family and go into the marriage or wait for your love.

Live your life away from all this men drama, you are almost done with service and you are young,are you scared of tomorrow? ignore all these proposals and as for your parents,they have to wait on you to start working for you to help meet their needs... add value to your life and don't let marriage be an escape route.

Your parent will not stay with you in your husbands house, cos when a man & a woman has nothing in common so why d stress of marrying a suitor all because of your parents comfort? Be wise my dear, face your studies while waiting for your man & dont disappoint us by marrying an 'arugbo ojo' old man because of your parents financial needs.. Dont rush into marriage in order not to rush out. A word is enough for the wise

I will advice you to marry according to your heart. Don't ever marry because of financial problems cos there is no difference between that and prostitution

Are you ready to be a martyr for your family??
Then go ahead with your parents wishes....
Otherwise stay with the one U love
Money will always come, as long as you're hardworking.

@bolded, don't tell me you are gullible enough to believe that? Don't marry for money. Why? Your relatives will enjoy the man's money and he will probably enjoy your body whilst you endure misery as he may not treat you with decency.

YOUR MARRIAGE SHOULD NOT BE A SOLUTION TO OTHER PEOPLES' PROBLEMS!

IT SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON SENTIMENTS NOR PITY!

MARRY THE MAN THAT LOVES YOU MORE. ABOVE ALL, PRAY!!!!

He has rented a 3 bedroom apartment and promised to take me to his parents towards the end of the year. Long story short we planned to get married next year.

The marriage will be done in less than 4 months if i say yes, And if i say no then i will have to wait for my man till mid next year.

So i ask please will you consider your family and go into the marriage or wait for your love.
1. you have not explained why you feared he might disappoint you. Because he is still struggling does not add up. infact when he "arrives" tomorrow, he will forever cherish you that you went through the struggle with him.

2. You do not have much in common.......... you do not really like him. -- You have solved the riddle on your own.(1st answer) Please tell us how you will handle the stuff if the table turns around tomorrow such that The struggler hit the gold mine and the rich man ........??

3. Forget your pastor vision. It's a lie. Beside, your family is selling you into slavery.

You can deduce from all the replies the solution to the riddle. (2nd answer)

It's upto you

i understand how uneasy u feel about the whole drama but the only one question is how do define your own love? is it love based on past happy memories of your current fiancee or qualities which u feel he has? the new man in the picture may also be likable later, so i will advise you to do a thorough background check on the new man and weigh the cost and benefit of your choice on the scale of future uncertainties

No need telling you more. Almost everyone here said the truth.

Someone cant just show up from nowhere with money and marry you.
Are you that daft?
I read about some guy from Anambra state who was apprehended by Police for kidnapping. This guy has a hotel in Aba, in Rivers and even in Ghana.
What if he had showed up in your house, do you think he would have told you that he was a kidnapper.

Now if you must marry the rich guy, tell him that the marriage will not hold in 4 months. Tell them you need two years. I said this because of the way you said the other guy is struggling. Someone who just rented a three bedroom flat is not struggling in Nigerian standard unless he borrowed the money.

if i say that the OP is not ready for marriage some persons will take it too far. go and develop yourself first. befor you get married you should be abel to hear from your God.(chi). you want to base your marital decision on the opinion of nairalanders? thats crazy.

that you date a guy does not make him the right person for you. poor or rich. may i ask, are you 100 percent sure the rich guy is not the right man for you? who says he cant be. are you 100percent sure the other guy won't change his mind about you in future?. leave nairaland alone and go on your knees and pray and stop this rubbish. you want to get married into another family blindfolded? or as blind as a bat? or from the opinion of strangers. Do you know your God?

Marriages are way-too complex that all psychological theories have failed. and people are failing every day. Go and pray seriously. if possible fast for days. and God will speak to you. don't be lazy. God is more interested in your marriage than you are interested in it. so ask him some how he'll speak and give you peace. whatever happens in future you'll be consoled you heard from God. All human reasoning have failed in issues of marriage. don't reason like the multitude coz you'll get what they get/have.

Please go ahead and marry the RICH but warn your parents and family not to come and cry on nairaland when the man uses you for money rituals when he is becoming broke.

So many people are just too short sighted that's why more people are miserable in their marriages today than ever before.
