Please do not let anyone blackmail you into getting married without first having your feet set squarely on the ground. Your mother wey dey talk, na she go come bail you out when your suitor-turned-husband starts treating you as though a liability? undecided

Support your spouse financially or contribute financially to your marriage and family? undecided

Marriage is best when planned well by both man and woman from the beginning. So many allow their hormones and urges drive them into marriage only to find themselves stuck trying to make the best out of what was a terrible decision from the beginning. Don't end up like them and don't be deceived by how nicely they look from the outside, more than half of those in marriage are living miserable existence but will rarely utter a word about it for shame. undecided

.... and then the expectation is that somehow those kids will grow up and help pay off all those debts. Essentially, they are birthed and enlisted as slaves in the process that is called marriage. lipsrsealed

There is no link whatsoever between your need for a job and your desire for marriage. Is there any law that says you can't get a job once you're married?

Stop putting the two needs (if at all you need both) on the same scale. Job will always come and go. A job is nothing but a means to an end and not an end in itself.

And what is this thing you guys call "financial stability" sef? Do you know what is means to be financially stable? Having a job (or job security) is not the same as being financially stable. How many Nigerians can survive a year without their salary? That's how to know those who are financially stable and those who aren't.

So ask yourself; are you willing to go through the process of financial stability before you consider the need for a spouse?

I will advice you to accept any suitor that come your way, this life is mysterious, you may not understand now until you learn a lesson...

Listen to me and your mother that are talking from experiences....

Every customer that come to patronize your wares at the opening of your shop, should not be allow to leave the shop, you must try much to compelled him to buy from you at that particular time.....

@ Yemialade listen to the bold words
This is where a lot of girls miss it. Once u miss that particular suitor, u may get a good job but find it hard to get a suitor. I know someone suffering from this. It is better to get married as a lady & continue searching for job, than to get a job & continue searching for suitor. Listen to ur mom.

I am not discouraging you from trying to achieve your goals of getting a job before settling down, but I want to ask a very important question. Don't get me wrong and don't be annoyed oh, but do you have a boyfriend or in a serious relationship? If yes, what is he talking about marriage or haven't you discussed the future with him? If on the other hand you are single and searching or not searching, you need to ensure that suitors are coming your way. My reason for saying this is so that you will not regret your decision or get gainfully employed and not been able to find a good home for yourself. Thanks.

Re: Marriage In This Economy by Channah1(f): 2:46pm On Aug 30, 2022
Lol.. marry na!!!..

I just see the way some girls itch for marriage like it the next best thing. If there's money, fine but if not, mhennn marriage is not rice and beans o. Serious work.

Apart from the financial responsibilities which is already draining on its own, The demanding aspect of it both physically and mentally will leave you wondering if you made the right decision.

I still believe marriage should be throughly given a serious thought through and through before diving into it. One must be very ready, financially, physical, mentally and emotionally otherwise it'll look like a difficult task. Iv been observing a lot of marriages these days and they don't seem interesting. Just a bunch of responsibilities and piles of duties.

Don't let anyone push you into what you're not ready for. Not even your mother.

Here's a young woman who desires to have something doing for herself before venturing into a marriage and becoming a burden on a man, and y'all are encouraging her to not have personal ambitions.
