WTF is your business? She's an adult and she's fulfilled! What's norms to you, your mother and everyone else, is not norms to her!

I'm glad I have nobody like you as a sibling. Disgusting thing!
Nobody wants to be in OP's shoes...It's been attack attack all the way. grin

The reality is, if I have a sister approaching 30, unmarried, I will genuinely be in his shoes but think differently.

I mean, You pass from Who born am, to who marry am as a lady.

Same goes to a man Approaching 40 and unmarried, It calls for urgent Umunna meeting as well. cheesy

Necessary things must be done as at when due.

It seems guys don't even understand that things have changed. Since the inception of this year, the regular question on my lips is that How many marriage ceremony have you attended this year? Compared to five years ago?

Marriage ceremony rarely happen nowadays and there are so many factors responsible for that.

I am very sure that your sister isn't interested in marriage, she has be conditioned by the reality of today. Many men do not want to get married. So, if men do not want to get married, so is she going to marry? Herself?

Unfortunayelt, that's the reality of today and we have to content with it. I imagine the outlook of this circumstances 5 years to come.

You are a fool if you try go physical on her. Is it your life or your business? If she's capable of doing very well financially as you said then she's capable of knowing her predicaments. Last last no be everybody go marry. Fact

quote author=IntelChief post=117589065]My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.[/quote]

I don't think it's necessary to bother people about marriage, irrespectice of age, even if they are one's sibling(s). It's wrong to expect people to follow the norms that everybody follows. We all have different ideologies about life and it's constituents, we should respect people's choices and decisions.

The said lady is doing well financially and she is most likely to be fulfilled. Many people see marriage as an achievement or ultimate goal, which I don't agree to. Not everyone is interested in marriage or raising offsprings, and some want those things but they only want them when they are mentally, financially and psychologically ready.

Africans needs to understand that!

Take it physical with her. . ! ! For what reasons bro. . It's her life and you absolutely no reason to attack her physically.

Best you can do softly advise her about it and pray well for her.

Look, marriage is secondary in the eyes on God. . Her first purpose is to fulfill her earthly role.

If she likes those guys approaching her enough...she would married them. .

keep praying for her or you ask her nicely what really happened and why she no gree for any guy
Re: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by olakan22: 5:43pm On Oct 16, 2022
If you knew your sister enough, you will know why. At least an inclination.
Are you aware of her past experiences with romance?
Perhaps that's what you should help her with, healing. You should talk with her lovingly and not judgingly, also with wisdom. She may shock you with what she will tell you.

Furthermore, she obviously isn't interested. It's a different thing that she is willing but hasn't found anyone. She will not likely regret and stress herself if she doesn't get married ever because she's making an informed decision.

So I suggest you pray for her. Not that she gets married tommorow but that she finds peace and clarity in her life and that God heals whatever hurt she has been carrying for long.

Pray for yourself too, that you will not be a source hurting for her but that she will find strength and love in you just as she helps you financially.

I think your sis will be fine

You want to live your life and live her own as well, if she is happy being single or is still looking for her ideal person then let her be.
If she marries tomorrow now and divorce or get killed by someone she marries shey you will come here and wail.
If God made it so that everyone will get married then the ratio of male births to female births will simply be 1:1 and it is not so marr8is not for everybody

Marriage isn't do or die.

Infact many people would have still been alive if not the people they married.

You can be single and be very happy and satisfied.

However, no man or woman is an island.

Until you meet the right person, it's best to stay single.

If I were the OP, I'll get a life because the sister has one already.

It's a not crime to be concerned about your siblings attitude to some matters, nothing disgusting about it dear friend.
By the time our sister begins to be worried about kids or marriage, it is the Op who will be there for her, not you. Sometimes, people make mistakes in the present which they actually see as a mistake until later in life. So, it's natural for their family and friends to call their attention to such things before it's too late
