You cannot force her to marry. Marriage is not for everyone also. Some people are better off single for themselves, for the family and for the society.
I love this .. same way not everyone will have or deserves to have kids.

There are somethings if one didn't do them on time will hardly do it afterwards and if something came first the rest will be difficult

Don't make money first
You wouldn't know if the women with you is there for the money or you
Children marry with the little you have if money comes in abundant you will think any women that comes are after the money

Reduce the volume a little ... � 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![/quote]

Not everyone is meant to get married.

IntelChief:
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.

Give her some space, maybe she is worried about it but not showing it openly, is it when she writes a book of lamentations that you will know the issue is bothering her. Some people are good at hiding pain.

Look for wife and marry and leave the woman alone. When she's ready, she'll settle down. If she does not want to, no force am. She's even the one that will deal with you if you insult her

"As a man in the family". Yet she supports you financially. Where is the man na?

"I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons". As you dey so without hunger, you no go respect yourself? Abi you want hunger to be your second name?

Who says she does not want to get married? Are you too young to understand that people plan their lives?

Plan your own life and live your own life.

Interesting...

It means if she was your younger sister, you would have beaten her to pulp. This is how Nigerian families are always in support of their women staying in toxic marriages. You people will rather die or allow the woman to die herself than to see the women in your family unmarried.[/quote]
That is it. Very useless set of people. You have female sister doing good on her own and you are not happy?

lookingfly:
she's not happy, this i can tell you. Ladies always want to be loved or married. Until you get close to them before they open up to you.

You don't know Her enough to say She is not Happy.

And Even if they are not happy to be alone, not every Woman (or Man) is ready to settle down with just anyone just because they want to get married and time is going. That is foolishness. And that is how many enter into a lifetime of hell, when they could have been single in peace.

Your initial post and this one indicate there is something wrong with you. If and when she gets married, is her decision to make and not yours. You're even talking of threatening and beating her. Do you know the consequence of that, both legally and with regard to your relationship with her? Young man, are you okay at all? Did you read everything you wrote? You should do a good job of minding your business at this point. If you dare to assault her, you better not post it here because I'd be the one to report you to a government prosecutor myself.

Better leave her alone. Not all women will marry please. If she's thriving and happy as a single lady, leave her be. It's far better than her being with a husband where she may not even have peace. Thanks.
