If she's employable, employed like you postulated and industrious, then very well. That's a great step.

Financial stability is something that can be hard to hack especially in this part of the divide where one has to work thrice as hard as anything to break even. On the other hand, a lot of people are just late bloomers, had less access to information that could have helped them earn money or skills to pave way to their financial freedom, or were just plain unambitious or laid-back. And you know that thing they say about time? A lot of people do not utilise it well; they stay hoping that things will just metamorphose or would glide from one enjoyment to the other. Well, reality bites hard in the end.

Is the suitor financially stable to carry the burden pending when she breaks even? Does she have skills that can be invested in should the need arise?

Be very practical with your eventual decisions.
Nothing wey anybody wan tell me.

Lool some of you ehn. You are bad advisers.

Love conquers all kwa.

Esther can you marry a 56 years old man that is financially unstable, please tell us undecided

The level of double standard that is inbuilt some people ehn.
I can't.

But if he loves her, he can help her to get a better job, encourage her to pursue something better as sometimes we just need someone to believe in us......

He has to study her to know if she's laid-back or she didn't have opportunities due to limiting factors from her parents like no sponsorship for higher education....

If it's the later, he can help her get/do something better..... if it's the former, he's preparing to bear almost all the bills as she will be full of excuses to do better and worse when children starts coming.

You can see where i stopped reading.

You are one of those people that give advise that you yourself will not take/do.

Why advise a man to settle for less when it’s something you will never do. Why don’t you help the 56 year old man to do better if you love him.

Instead love wasn’t even in your equation at all. “I can’t” fullstop. Why should a man even give consideration to such when he like you is in a far better position and can do far better undecided

Note: the polar opposite of a 38 year old, financially unstable and unmarried woman is a 56 year old, financially unstable and unmarried man. It is NOT a 38 year old man - unlike the 38 year old women, a 38 year old man hasn’t peaked and has small chance to pivot and turn around his life (before 45).

If the case is reversed, will she marry you (a 38 years old employed but financially unstable man)?

Like negroid001 said, no 38yrs old woman should be financially unstable at the standards they give us (men)

Lack of critical thinking is black man's best friend.

When did a woman's financial capability became a criteria for marrying her? Hmmmm, this is a sign of worsening national economic situation, sighs.
Since when a man financial capability became one ..

If the case is vice versa, should all of this be applied??

Hi everyone

Is it advisable to marry a struggling 38 year old woman? Yes she's employed but financially not stable. ?? Any pros and cons?

Thank you
No, because being employed and not financially stable is a clear indication of reckless spending and bringing such a person into your space is a red flag for your finances too.
Re: Can You Marry A Struggling 38 Year Old Woman? by MrPresident1: 12:07pm On Jul 05, 2025
The whole concept of marriage has been destroyed by western civilization. A 38 year old woman is supposed to be helping to nurse her grandchild

If she marries at 16, by 38, her girl child is 20+ already married too

The Law is coming to right everything

Men and women are different so our values on the dating pool will differ. I can't date a lady of that age because I prefer youth.

As long as there's life, there's hope.
Brave to come out this way
However, have you come straight that your strong headedness will get you back where you came from.
Come straight and maybe a good man will tag along before asking for your hand
Re: Can You Marry A Struggling 38 Year Old Woman? by Jman06(m): 12:20pm On Jul 05, 2025
Most ladies will not marry 38years old struggling man so why should men marry such a ladyhuh Only a very unambitious man would do that and the end result is poverty and marital problems.

I'll rather marry an 18-22years struggling girl!

Is the instability self afflicted or societal? Secondly, how old are you?
Re: Can You Marry A Struggling 38 Year Old Woman? by pocohantas(f): 12:30pm On Jul 05, 2025
I can't and I won't. Except she is very beautiful and has unique skills she is bringing to the marriage/home. She must have developed other aspects of her life to an enviable level. In the absence of this, she has to tell me what was her longterm plan for life.

If I am a struggling 45yo man, I will do it. Not like the younger girls would want me anyway.
Re: Can You Marry A Struggling 38 Year Old Woman? by judewrites: 12:31pm On Jul 05, 2025
Whether 38 or 48, there is no timeline for marriage.

Once there is love (which is rare these days in marriage) you are free to go.

With love, there will always be a way.

Marriage has to do more with quality of the person in sense of who they are, not what they are.

what they are can change at anytime.

But who they are is permanent or long lasting.

So who is she, her character, her habits, her character, her likes, her values, her passion, her goals, her struggles, her beliefs and then do u like her in appearance and personality.
Re: Can You Marry A Struggling 38 Year Old Woman? by Eniolohunda: 12:33pm On Jul 05, 2025
What is your own plan as a man that want to marry too? If she is gainfully employed as you emphasize, that means she's not just sitting but walking towards a financial freedom. If you are waiting for her wealth, that means you yourself are going to be a liability to her instead of an asset.
