Age Limit? by Needlelady(f): 5:38am On Apr 05, 2008
Do you believe that age  is nothing but a number? If no, what do you think is the appropriate age limit by which a girl must be married(i.e if marriage is a must in her life) and what is the upper limit age by which a man must be settled down unless he wants to be known as an old cargo.?


Will you care about a partners age before marrying him or her? I mean, can you still marry somebody even if the age gap is almost 10 years?


Do you also believe what they say that '40 is the new 20'?

Please sir, with due respect make some correction in the number you put.
Are you talking base on religious theology or the present modern life we're living?
you mean a girl/boy will just jump out of university and jump into marriage because time is against him/her?
This is why some boys/girls get hooked with a terrible marriage life cause they feel like getting old.

There is no age limit in marriage it's only when one feel OK and get the right person he/she has something in common period.

I'll get married to any age in as much as she gives what I want and lack.

i am uncomfortable around a girl thats 5 yrs younger than myself. i feel too old around them. there's no age limit for anyone to get married. although, its always a good idea for a girl to get married early

So are you suggesting that a lady gets married at an older age ? Bearing it in mind that they get closer to MENOPAUSE now a days ? undecided
For me,marrying at a younger age of 25yrs is quite ok , at least before getting to the age of 30-35yrs , she would have given birth to the number of children she wants and she could go ahead and enjoy the best of her married life looking more younger and refreshed. grin

MENOPAUSE as I know starts from 45 up wards, besides must she be used as a child producing machine? 1 or 2 children is okay then the rest will be for fun.
Anyway exerpt in nigeria where all they cares is bearing children, staying at home doing nothing.

I think having them matured is the best.

My brother menopause starts earlier nowadays due to the kind food in take which compraises of so many chemials. You said marriage in africa is all about child bearing,you are wrong bro,but then of what use is a marriage without children and besides who says the wife will sitdown at home without working ?There so many working mothers out there and they are really doing well.

      Yes,  it's of no use without children but not to overload her with wheelbarrow loads of children. then her hollyground will be as wide as a tunnel.
  MARRIAGE should be for LADIES- 30 upwards Men-35 upwards. with this age, they've already tested good and bad sides of life and come to a conclconclusion there is no need of rushing marriage, remember men love flirting also girls, so they need time to figure things out. all these need to be done before getting married. 
   not as early as 25/30 as you said,  later they come to realise  that they never enjoyed life before.

       The food you've infront of you (in ur profile) I hope you're not eating alone? me I dey hungry oo.Io

          That's the big problem that will face africa in the year future. they're rushing western world culture and food like flies dey rush dead body, we tend to ignor our natural food god freely give to us. People are drinking chemicals in the name of soft drinks while some are eating fabricated foods mixed with god knows what in it. thank god I can cook and know what to prepare. FAST FOOD?, NO THANKS.
Re: Age Limit? by Nobody: 2:07pm On Apr 05, 2008
i think by 25 you should already have a man that you're courting and ready to take to the alter undecided


For a man, it should be 30, that's the limit

So is erectile dysfunction that affect men from the age of 40. Does that mean that men should be scared of the big 40 or should they rush and have all the children they can before age 40?

who is talking of a man here ? undecided  A man can stay as long as 100yrs and will still be sexually active and still have children. But will it be good for a man of that age to be paying school fees when he is suppose to be reaping the fruit of his retirement ? Am sure a woman can and will never be that sexually active at half of that age .
So if you see a man of 40yrs unmarried , then there is definately something wrong somewhere !

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I thought dis was about age limit?
Re: Age Limit? by madamkoko: 2:26am On Apr 06, 2008
I don't believe that age is nothing but a number. I believe that a woman should be married by 30 and a man married by 38.

My boss was married at 35 and she has two kids, I feel like because more women are getting higher degree, they are waiting till later to get married.

I also believe that it depends on where you are in your life, marriage is not just about the pressure of family members telling you to get married. You also have to be mentally and financially prepared, until then i don't think that you should get married because you are getting old, ,,
Re: Age Limit? by madamkoko: 2:30am On Apr 06, 2008
40 is the new 20 if you are a RICH MAN!!!! tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue

If u're broke, then I don't think SO.
Re: Age Limit? by presido1: 9:14am On Apr 06, 2008
As far as the gyl has not reached the age of Menopause she has not passed the age of marriage.
For the age of marriage depends not only on age but other factors.
Re: Age Limit? by Needlelady(f): 9:29pm On Apr 06, 2008
By madamkoko,
I believe that a woman should be married by 30 and a man married by 38.

Why the difference in age for both sexes when both should be wary of an age related reproductive inability at 45?

Don't fool yyourself brother, not anymore, more and more men are getting erectile dysfunction from 40 because of the sedentary lifestyle abnd food associated with this generation, besides, some scientists are pointing at cell phones too as a probable cause. I hope you know that viagra does not cure a dead horse, sheeesh.

it all depends on people and their destiny,i know of a girl dat got married after our secondary school,at d age of 15 and still lives happily wt d husband, but i believe once a girl is 18 and has got a matured brains i dont see anything stopping her from getting married

and as for d age gap,i will only marry a guy dat is atleast maximum 10 years older than me

Re: Age Limit? by damola1: 10:31pm On Apr 06, 2008
well, seriously, why must one get married, why not stay by yourself, since it's so much wahala, one might be better off not married, its not uncommon to find matured boys single in developed countries, someone like paul allen is still single,  why must one get married?,  plus now society is even demanding a particular age range to get married,

whether d person believes in God or not ain't ur business,it has been prdained right from time to be so, , he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favour from God

Even you yourself talk am say na bondage and caging, how come you no wan live a free life, that's out of bondage?

na bondage because marriage is like one television,with so many channels but u are allowed to watch only one channel, therefore it helps reduce fornication rate, like i said earlier it is a bondage but can also be a very sweet bondage if u want it to be, a sweet bondage only if u are wt d right person, cool
