Why Ladies Must Prepare Early For Marriage by Abbymart777(m): 4:59pm On Dec 20, 2019
WHY LADIES MUST PREPARE EARLY FOR MARRIAGE

Many ladies start preparing for marriage very late in life. Many dont get very serious about productive relationship until they are 29 or 30 yrs old - very late. While the male are being prepared from birth to understand their leadership responsibilities, woman are groomed with the mindset that their husbands will carry their burden. That is why a larger percentage of the female species has nothing to offer than their bodies. Many of them commit themselves to having fun not knowing that one day they will become wives and mothers - they live their younger year unprepared for this task I.e the task of being a wife and a mother. So when they are older at 29 or 30 suddenly they realise that time is not on their side and they desperately begin to looking for a man to marry. Unfortunately even at this age most of them are not prepared, apart from their bodies they have nothing else to give. And that is why most of them will lower their standards just to marry anyone. All they are concerned about is to bear a man's name, all they are concerned about is to meet the societal expectations of marriage. They lower their standard compelled by desperation, lack of vision and complete lack of desire to make a difference- any man will do, as long as he is a male and willing to marry them even if he is not a well developed male and has no desire to be one. This is the reason for so many problems in our society.

If you ask me I will say that it is important to prepare a lady from her birth for the responsibility of marriage. Both gender must start preparing very early in life for this great responsibility that requires teamwork and capacity to make uncommon required contributions.

The man as the male is naturally given the power of "PROPOSAL" while the woman is given the power of " ACCEPTANCE or " REFUSAL" What this means is that the woman by natural design is compelled to wait until a man comes with a marriage proposal before she can marry. While a man may choose the time he desires to marry, a woman must wait for a man to "decide" for her when to marry. And while the possibility of a man to marry his dream woman is still very bright even when he is 40yrs and above, women have almost zero chance of marrying their dream men when they are above 30yrs of age. This is the sad truth. So tell me who should prepare early, who should be ready for marital responsibilities at 24, 25 or 26 yrs - the male or female?

The world is a " BUYER'S MARKET ". So everyone who has a product to sell has the responsibility to make the product " BUYER-ATTRACTIVE " and "BUYER'S WORTHY". In this context men are like the " BUYERS" while women are like the " PRODUCT "I apologise for using this metaphor if it seems offensive especially to the proponents of the feminist ideology.

The summary of my submission is this, women are to start preparing early in life to make themselves marriage worthy. This is necessary in order to avoid becoming like a products that is "unsellable"- a product you have to reduce its price and make very cheap to be sold on " promo". The truth is that some women are like products that will never sell even if you place them on permanent " promo".

Prepare yourself so that you can " sell" at full value to men who know your worth and are able to pay the price to have you as their life Partner.

So who evaluates a man, and decides if he's "marriage worthy"?

The kind of theories I read on this forum shows the future is dark.

No wonder innocent, marriage-worthy ladies end up marrying panel wife beaters. While trying to beat time(that you guys shout everytime), they end up marrying nonsense

Teenagers should be prepared for marriage.

They should also be taught and be guided on the journey of self discovery.

That way, they automatically know the spouses food for them.

They marry early, fulfill their dreams and live happily ever after

intelligent men with foresight to are always bothered about getting married before getting pass 30.
This is obvious on another thread by liquidgold.
Women that are bothered about marrying before 30 are planning their lives

2. I believe life is all about perception but your perception and analysis of "proposal is flawed on so many levels. Women propose and infa

Story.....
It is only in Africa that marriage is overrated and the men criticize and scrutinize a woman's age, nonscence. There is nothing wrong with a woman who wants to achieve some of her dreams and marry in her late 20s, 30s or 40s. Singlehood is as sweet as marriage. The problem is not the age of women, the problem is the mentality of the Nigerian man. Our daft mentality should stop dictating to women the ages they should marry.

I'm already familiar with that. It's very common to see a white divorced woman getting married with ease, without her failed marriage or age being criticized. How much more an advanced spinster. You aren't aware of many white women who marry younger husbands, the men hardly discriminate or worry so much about age.

Please, teenagers should be taught to pursue their dreams with all they can. Marriage should come whenever they choose or when they have some things in place. How many people live happily ever after when they marry?

And Nigerian divorced women are not getting re-married (even though it is mostly common law marriage aka cohabitating) especially in rural areas?

How do you know that her failed married and/age are not been critisized?

A number of Nigerian men are married to older wives tooo. Darey Art Alade, Peter PSquare, Gov of Ondo state etc. While I know they are not your regular examples, these are men who could pick anyone else and they chose older women.

In fact, multiple marriages seem to me like their society discriminates against single people a lot hence the need to always be married.
Re: Why Ladies Must Prepare Early For Marriage by LilMissFavvy(f): 10:50pm On Dec 22, 2019
They do get married, but definitely not as much as the whites, they are hugely criticized. It's a black mentality thing, and that's the fact.

I already answered your 2nd paragraph. I had mentioned that some white ladies in their second marriage are lucky enough to marry even younger men. Some white spinters who married late, still settle without being mocked for being old.

You think marriage & dream chasing are mutual exclusive, I don't. In fact, some dreams would never be fulfilled until marriage. Imagine someone who wants to be the president of Nigeria: he/she must be married.

You also think marriage should come whenever they choose without preparation.

Why do you think there are a lot of happily never afters?

Because they let marriage happen and did not prepare for it.

And I do not necessarily think a teenager should be married: I said they should be prepared for marriage.

And I do not believe in people living loose, purposeless lives in the name of freedom or growing up.

Most of them never recover from the damage inflicted on their body, spirit and soul.

The person you marry is the 2nd most important decision you will make in life.

A divorced 98 year old white lady has a lot to offer than a employed 26 year old Nigerian Lady.
