Marriage: Women decry a lack of financially eligible suitors

In Nigeria and across Africa, women today are struggling to find men who earn as much as they do.

According to the young women in the interesting video below, a good man is hard to find, especially in this economy. There is a shortage of economically attractive men.

Although we like to think marriage is based on love, they say, it “also is fundamentally an economic transaction,” and women want partners whom they can call their equals.


And this has contributed to battles for control in relationships in which the women outearn their men.

Two of the women on the panel confessed they'd fought with their partners, exchanging blows over money and control.

Have you been in a romantic relationship in which a partner who had financial power over you, was tempted to control or abuse you either physically or verbally? Does a “lack of good jobs” for men contribute to loss of male control in a relationship? What can we do?

Please watch and share your opinion.

All relationships are built on the man having a source of income that can meet obligations.

Unfortunately, in today's world, there's an inflation of expectations with regards to earnings. That's why these topics have become an issue

so true. still watching though

The two women complaining of abuse are single mothers.

Why on earth will a man marry a single mother that also out-earns you.

Why?
