Marriage right from the beginning has always been about the man and wife. Once both agree to be married, let no one oppose them. Forget societal pressure
As a man, you need a source of income and a matured mind to stay happilly married. As a wife, you need to be supportive and caring.
Whatever the couples contribute to the marriage, it will determine whether it will last or not

You are funny,, I never mentioned we should copy them, I simply imply, if you are not the rich type to throw a lavish wedding party, then do the simple one and not the what the society (friends and family) expect,, and I never mentioned the whites have everything right,, I believe you are an adult and you can read between the lines, not turn my words the way you see fit

Dia r sum weddings which if u r not bringing money den don't come n u must pay 4 ur meal. I kid u not. All d choice of the ppl wedding themselves. So no one cn say sum gypsies married on 20 euro n make that d standard 4 Western weddings. Diff folk diff stroks

So that's the choice of an individual couple but you made it sound like it was the norm, part of the culture.

It's clear 4rm my 1st post. "Dey hv all sort just like Nigeria hv. All sort". Didn't u c dat? Did I recommend every 1 duz it? No. Did I make it a standard? No. So wia did u c wen it was made d Norm? Evry post hs tat in it, so if u want 2 argue in it, no point arguing, it ws alway dia. Maybe u weren't readin.

Daz wt m saying. All sorts of ppl. So it's not as if d African way is bad. If dey want 2 do it, their choice. If dey r broke afta, dia biz. But no correct way 2 do it. N few ppl will marry wut 20euro in dis wrld. 1:1000000

Pettyprincess:
This is one of the things i dnt like about us,many guys are in debt after their lavish wedding just to impress family nd friends.
What i know is that on my wedding day it will be very simple with just family nd close friends,i will rather use the money to establish myself nd hubby.
same here oh..if possible only 10 guests..cos after wedding we need money to start our lives..

Being single is one privileged I can't trade for a billion naira, marriage is equivalent to life imprisonment.


The fear of someone standing at the door demanding to know where I was coming from by 11pm scare the shít outta me.

Lol - African men never cease to amaze me - u want submission but you dont want to pay d price of submission ? lol - being burdened is d price u pay for a wife who lets u be a man and keeps quiet even though she wants to talk ! Sad that nowadays lazy men want their wife’s to be sharing bills but still want d submission given to sole breadwinners ! Lol
Kapeter:
Then we manage to host them successfully (thanks to loans), now we are together as husband and wife, we have to watch it when we will be giving birth cuz right now it's time for repayment hence there must be little delay in that.

And then, just a year after, your far distance cousin is also getting married, your husband who is only responsible for the family even with the meagre he receieve monthly is again mandated to buy aso ebi and not just ending there, must accompany you, not just that, getting there, you must also show a sense of belonging, you must show them your husband too is there(if you know), money must be spray by force and then another loan again for another unnecessary course. I don't really understand, is this really why God made union? Did he created eve to just frustrate adam for no cause or for other reasons?

Because of this many reasons which i just cannot fully list here, marriage is seen as some very hard job for men who ought to be married when actually it isn't hard. I made it an African thing because i have seen the way other youths in western world are living compared to how we live down here. All is not perfect everywhere all over the world but trust me if it's 30% worst over there, it is 97% worst down here in Africa.

Fornication, soapy and other are now what the youths indulge in because society won't let them become who they ought to be at the right time. It's insane and i hope things can really change for better.

And men(youths) go ahead and marry and still be you, no one should pressurize you to what you are not and cannot be, once you can take care of yourself and your wife, no problem, it's not your duty to take care of wifes family, it's hers buh willingly from your heart you can if you so wish buh must not be forced and mind you marriage isn't force, if it's not working it's totally not working, there's nothing like i'm doing it for this or that, stop making things hard unnecessarily, it can easily be disolved and you try again. Let's all stop making marriage seems hard and encourage youths instead of scaring them into fornication and others.

Not illegal but irresponsible if done often.

Is it illegal to return home 11pm if it ain't work related?
