[quote author=purem post=66041612]@MissRaine69 when it comes to female

Dream, goals, aspirations, aims, burning desires etc are all but having someone that can put them in an apartment and provided three square meals for them and give them some change for makeups

LOBATAN

That's all they long for undecided

If I was not intelligent or have any academic acumen
Did not go to medical school
Didn’t have my own practice
Be in a stable relationship
And it’s makeup not makeups
No I am not wanting for anything
You and I are not at par
And never will be

MissRaine69:

Ffs
What is she wants to travel abroad to further her education and he does not share that view?
How do you know definitively he will support her career aspirations post marriaage?
What if that becomes a hurdle when her career surpasses his and he stats to resent it?
He might be progressive but the rest of his family are not . They ultra conservative and expect a daughter in law to have a child within a year a of marriage and she might want to wait a year or more?
Finish school ,get a job and build her independence and no living on your own does not involve coitus with any man.
The girl said she is not ready why is it mandatory that she is not allowed to experience life until she is?

I don’t have a secular view of life you do my view is my own. Marry when you are ready not because you have to.



Couples dont travel abroad to further their education & work?

If he doesnt support her career aspirations now what makes you think he will when she is through reading it say in 5 years time?

When she is done with school, stays independent & finally gets married and then encounters ALL these negatives you have pointed out, what then?

What was the point of delaying it? They can all still happen even after she has "experienced the world" as you put it.

If she isnt ready then he isnt ready, but dont try to tell us marriage will hinder her career now. That's utter BS.

MissRaine69:

In certain quarters of this society yes
Do you know where she is from? The expectations of the particular society she lives in? Are you the husband? What if he wants kids immediately and she does not?
By the way you are allowed to have your point of view, permit me the courtesy to have mine. Or is being objective a difficult concept for you to fathom?
i should be the one to ask u that, am just expressing my opinion objectively. To the best of my knowledge, so why trying to take a swipe at me?

Op if you are not ready to get married now, please don't go into it yet.

We have instincts that warn us deep down not to undertake an unfruitful venture but due to society pressure, we ignore our inner voice/ guardian angel warning us of the danger ahead.
And for the op to be in doubts means, she and her man are not in the same frequency in fulfilling her desires in either furthering her studies during marriage.
She has doubts lurking deep at the back of her mind.

If not? If her bf is convincing enough and sincere with what she wants out of life. She will gladly marry him without blinking an eye or asking us here. Op some men can promise heaven and earth but only your inner being will know if he's sincere or not .
Don't go into what u might regret later. Marry when u are ready emotionally, and materially. So that your in-laws will not even say u are a drop out freeloader.

It's not about how far but how well.

so are u trying to tell me getting married will hinder her from aspiring for greatness? That a shallow thought! Marriage adds it dosent subtract! Know this
.........i think the only problem marriage could bring her is if she starts having kids immediately..........it could set back her studies and ofcourse deprive her of having personal time
Re: I Am 20 Years Old! Am I Too Young For Marriage? Help Me? by HarunaWest(m): 10:47pm On Mar 21, 2018
Its quite unfortunate that early marriage that was formerly seen as a good thing now looks like and obsolete and mundane idea. My Ex got married at 19 immediately we broke up..now she stays in London with 3 kids and she's living the life......A Doctorate Degree holder already. Life works in different strokes for different folks,but the beauty in life is that its all about taking risks..If she truly loves the dude and sees herself growing under his watch and achieving her dreams,then I feel its better she gets wedded sooner rather than later...Cos if adventure is the reason why she's stalling,many men are ready to dish her sour taste cum experience in relationship... she shud sha thread cautiously... Drops Mic cool

she and her dude are young chapz..me no know d reason why that dude won't be considerate owing the fact that economy is even hard and it ain't even wise to feed an illiterate cos she won't be useful when posterity turn up...better they discuss her education first before any conjugal transaction

Re: I Am 20 Years Old! Am I Too Young For Marriage? Help Me? by Nedfed(m): 12:19am On Mar 22, 2018
A lady can get married in as much she is above 18. When a young lady got married in between the age of 18-22 many people will say she too young for that and if the same lady never get marry at the age of 32 the same set of people will still say she's not serious. Now my question is that,
What exact age can someone marry?
Or is there in any of the holy books the age is writing?
So why are we people always get things wrong. Majority believes a lady must finish school before she can marry. Who tell you that?
Many of our mothers got married to our father with ordinary school cert that even if some of them have this. But many of them later accomplished their dream through the help of dia husband. If you marry the right man, he will help you in achieving your dream. We have seen cases of graduate that still fall to the hands of wrong man who pretend to love them.
Another point is that many believe that at the age of 20 the experience may not be dia. Please what is experience? Is it by fvcking around or by having heart broken several time before sum1 is experienced?
As an African, every lady at the age of 20 must have gotten upto 80% of experience needed to be a wife. Is it how to cook, tidying the house or take some responsibility she shud av known all dis.

Therefore age is barrier in marriage the must important things is the LOVE.
If diaris is genuine love things will work for gud.

How is it confusing?
How are you going to enjoy your youth if you are married? You are wife the youth ceases to exist
Not ready for the responsibilities as in our society there are certain quarters where it is an expectation that marriage -babies
She might not be ready for that
The commitment
She wants to see the world ... experience life
Have a career



In simple terms, You mean;

She's too young to be faithful and loyal to one man at 20. She should instead wh*re her body through her 20s to 30s. Then start looking for an unfortunate nice guy to marry the leftover angry

All those talks about dreams and aspirations are hogwash. Marriage can't stop a woman from achieving her dreams, that excuse is lame.

I could care less for what you think.
In my comment did I make reference to being promiscuous? No but you did.
See if a man has grown up without an objective view of what the world is like outside this the sort of mindset they adopt. Finding your person and living life does not automatically mean sleeping around. But then we come from different worlds. Where I hail from you are encouraged to have a career to be an asset when you do marry not a liability.

Did she tell you that the boy wants a full time housewife?

How are you going to enjoy your youth if you are married?
MissRaine69,Permit me to correct you! I as a person that mingles with the opposite sex a lot especially the brilliant ones and yes also married ones.
I has seen so many young married women enjoying their youth to the fullest,the truth is that many opt for early childbirth before they reach age 30,so they can be through with childbearing in order to enjoy life from age 31 and upwards.
And for the records,marriage doesn't stop sleeping around it even add to it.Thanks for your understanding.
