How Much Should A Man Earn Before Getting Married

Julius Diamond, a marriage and relationship Expert Wrote:

"I Have Had Other Interactions where a lady said if the man is able to earn 30k per month then she can satisfactorily marry him. However, I told her that that will only be possible in the village. Because 30k salary is like nothing in Abuja, Lagos, PH,.and some other major cities in Nigeria".







So, Ladies and Gentlemen. Lets see if he was right......How Much Do U Think Is Enough Salary A Man Should Be Earning Before Asking For A Lady's Hand In Marriage?

pls ur comment should have the city u intend to live. considering the rentage and othee cost of living.......Thanks.

the man should look at his life

putting into consideration how much he spends monthly

the typ of lady that he wants to marry

if she is the material typ

after all this he should b able to know how much salary can make him keep a woman as his wife

all depends on the kind of lifestyle the guy wants for himself and family but such thing shouldn't be based only monthly salary because one can lose their job rather a man should base that on his investments and possibly multiple streams of income unless the person wants a marriage where every night is a frustrating one thinking about bills to Pay and money borrowed and worse having millions of problems and little money to solve them with.

u know it has become a thing seen every where that wen u ask a lady's hand in marriage: Her parents will want to know what he does for a living and how much he earns.....Even if the lady feels ok with the man, her parents may want to interfere with the conclusion that they don't want you to suffer....So how about this incident?

I beg to say that even if he knows and even if he marries a marriage material...my friend one day she may start meeting up with friends and relatives who will start saying all kinds of things that may change her marriage material attitude ooo...and she may begin to tell her self "I can't suffer like this enymore". that's how husband and wife problem will begin....how do see this?

It all depends on the man's standard of living.
Also, how understanding the wife-to- be is.

My dear though it's gonna be rough, hard and crazy but it's left for the lady to show them that this is the person that she WANTS, that she knows what she wants and that no one else should make that choice for her because that's her happiness and no one would like their happiness to be messed around with. She shouldn't be offensive about it in any way but she should display some certain assertion that NO ONE can change her decision and be adamant about it. the guy also has to play a part too in showing the parents how much he's willing to fight for his love, support, love, cherish, care and protect her with his life and most importantly working his azz off to attain financial security since that's the case here. Great convincing skills and diplomacy goes a very long way in actualizing this and God too. Unless there's another very bad reason why they parents are going against it then the reason should be treated before further things.

How much=how much do you need to take care of your family?

In what city=depends on your salary

D amount u earn doesn't rily matter dan how u spend, d kind of life style u live and want to live, where you live (at least u will pay house rent), d kind of woman u want to marry and ur ambition..
