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.


You want to change it for your elder sister that supports you financially cause she’s not perturbed about marriage? You don ever hear this word “mind your business” b4? Your mum is in a better place to discuss the issue with her

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

Try and be reasonable, please!

Being concerned about your siblings or relatives should be with moderation, not extremity. I realized that most Africans always go overboard with issues like marriage, which shouldn't be so. Also, I noticed that people will always believe they have a say in your life, until you start changing it for them.

I've never been an individual that follows herd mentality. Everyone knows me for my principles and way of life, and I don't bend my principles to please anyone (including parents or relatives). I do what pleases me, as long as I'm not going against the law of where I reside.

I don't give a fück about anyone's expectation!

God instituted it

Yes he instituted it as long as it does not cut short your earthly assignment.

Why do you think most great priests in the Bible were not married. . If married will lead you into too much compromises, God will.not allow it.

If you can be graced to find a right partner that would allow God's expression then it is OK.

Your primary role is to accept Jesus Christ and multiply his seeds here on earth. . And if you will.multiply his seeds, your marriage will be the first and main ground. .

If she is flirting with guys then you can advice her to get married instead. But if she is single and chaste let her be.When the time comes,she would get married. All this pressures to get married has made people marry for the wrong reasons.

MufasaLion:


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!
Sometines, one can be soo focused on one thing, while neglecting the basic things.

So, every human at a point will need tha person who set their head straight to basic things.

Africans do..We are more of an Egalitarian.

This is our continent, I mean "Nke a bu nke anyi" in Igbo. We have our traditions, we must uphold it wherever we find ourselves.

The western ways we tend to uplift usually backfires with time.

A lady was chasing money, and shouting I don't need marriage, what do I need man for..While her mom was going for alter calls, booking mass on her head to get married.

When she got pregnant, her status was " Whatever you heard about me, believe it" grin grin

Anyways, she did her trad on August or so..you needed to see the excitement of Mother and daughter. grin grin

There are ways to go about this. OP can talk to her in a way she will process the massage clean.

Yes, this is Africa and there's no civil law that states you must have a child or spouse. I don't care about traditions and culture as regards marriage and kids. This shit is the reason most are still in poverty breeding like rodents in a room apartment. And even those that have money are married because of societal pressures!

And that woman going to altar call or whatever just wasted her time, money and resources because her daughter wasn't impregnated because of those things. The daughter was pushed into such union!

I can't live my life to please people.
