No Money, No Marriage by Babatunjo(op): 9:15pm On May 29

People will quote you love. They will quote you compatibility. They will quote you chemistry.

Nobody will quote you school fees. Nobody will quote you the family holiday in Dubai, the anniversary dinner at Nok by Alara, the wife's Range Rover, the children's private school in Lekki.

But those things will show up. And they will not wait for love to sort them out.

A marriage without money is not a love story. It is an endurance test. Two people grinding against each other's frustrations and calling it commitment.

Get your money right first. The love will have somewhere comfortable to land.

I wish those children were taught how to kidnap the kidnappers before the kidnappers came and kidnapped the kids.
But it's not too late! It's not too late, the best form of defense is attack.

I know a very rich lady who sleeps with me behind her husband back. Why??

Her husband is super rich.

But she confess to me that she lost the excitement of LIFE. That her husband over provide and this made him look unattractive and boring.

So she wanted to feel human again
That's why she cheats behind his back .
That the adrenaline and excitement fear of being caught makes her feel alive

If you like get 200$ billion.
Una 2 will definitely be bored of each other
Look at Will smith
Upon all the fame and money and praises he shower his wife. She still go sleep with one guy called August Alsina

I want poor people to try and understand

I get it, you lack money.
So it will feel like $200 billion will make you the happiest person alive

I'm here to tell you that you can have $2 million and still feel depressed.
I can't explain the feeling but it's crazy

That was when I understand one rich french fashion designer commit suicide.

You can have money but the happiness is not there.

Keep deceiving yourself. "Everything is not money" is one of the biggest traps the society set for the unenlightened. Is it when you are poor that you are happy?

We are heading for historical, unprecedented global inflation in the next decade, but yea "Everything is not money"

My dear, everything is money. You live in a capitalist world; it's delusional to think otherwise.

While you don't need to be rich like the OP has portrayed, abeg, it's important to be financially comfortable at least before considering marriage.

Check the global trend, the rate of marriage and birth are nosediving, so much people like Elon Musk are sounding the alarm. Do you think people don't want to get married or give birth? People are no longer brainwashed with sayings like this. People now understand that if you follow societal trends and pressure that your financial muscles can't withstand, you will face the consequence yourself. People are rather checking out instead of facing lifetime financial pressure to take care children.

That's why a poor man has nothing other than his wife. His only source of enjoyment is also the wife...which is why the poor always have plenty children they can't take care of.

This is wrong in every way.

Marriage is kept by love not money. I hate that we try to tie everything to money nowadays.

People who are rich also get divorced. So clearly, money will not keep marriage.

If you have all the money in the world and you get married to someone with all the money too without any desire for each other, it's clearly won't work.

But if you love someone genuinely and without any money, then you both can work together and live a modest life together.

There are government schools in this country where you can school your children for free.

Most Nigerians have little incomes over 100k per month and are successfully married and raising their kids.

Yes sometimes, life gets hard for these people, but they endure it together.

My father was a police man with 5 children. We lived for a long time in a single room and all of us attended school.

It wasn't money keeping his marriage but love.

Most of us came from humble beginnings. It wasn't money but genuine desire by our parents to build a beautiful family.

They didn't revolve their entire world around finance.

Finance was not worshipped.

You may say, one day emergency will come and you'll need enormous amount of money to solve the problem.

But I tell you, this almost never happens. And if it happens, well it happens. Not every problem can be solved.

There are also health issues which your money cannot solve.

Steve Jobs with all his billions died of cancer like every other poor man would have.

Please I beg you as a young woman or man, build your house on love.

Money is never enough. Once you have a stable means of income, marry and build wealth together. Most wealthy men I know today were never wealthy at the time they got married.

And who says you must buy your wife a range, you can start with a Toyota Corolla, you must not send your children to private schools in Lekki. Expensive private schools is not a guarantee for brilliance. You must not go for vacations in Dubai unless you're lucky to eventually make it big.

Believe me, if you want to start waiting until you have made humongous money before marriage, chances are high that you might not marry eventually. God made this life very simple but na we humans dey complicate things for ourselves.

This is not totally true actually. Though money is vital but love outweighs whatever money could do in a true marriage. Now that marriage is business oriented, i am not bothered if anyone chooses money over love. Shalom

Re: No Money, No Marriage by Host78: 11:00pm On May 29

Seriously. The advice is total rubbish.

Love should be why you want to build your life with someone not money.

So, if you start a family with a rich man or woman and circumstances happen, then you divorce them because they are no longer financially capable?

It's such a senseless advice from the op

Money doesn't guarantee love in marriage...yes it brings comfort but not necessarily love.
