Nigeria is a marriage-obssessed society. In Nigeria, nobody cares whether you are financially able or whether you have found love.
You see a senior person harassing a young person into marriage, but they will never help the young person get a job or start a business.
Most people who aren't financially capable who allowed themselves harassed or brainwashed into marriage with the "Marriage-brings-blessings" sermon are finding themselves in serious troubles...and guess what, they are abandoned by the same people who goaded them into it.

If you're single, you feed yourself and have a roof over your head, then you can marry. There are no special bills or taxes for married people. Your stomach and portion of food do not get bigger with marriage. Your electricity or water bill do not increase because you're married. Same electricity, same cable TV, same quantity of water, same rent, etc.

In fact, it is easier for two WORKING and sensible people because they're able to put resources together to achieve a better result. E.g. If you've being paying rent alone, you can share bills (not necessarily in equal proportions).

The only thing that makes a difference is pregnancy & child upkeep, and to the best of my knowledge, this is optional. After all, single men and women have more sex than married people, without fear of pregnancy.

To blame finance for being single is lack of SENSE and understanding. It is perpetual failure of the brain to think MARRIAGE between two people will drain finance faster than the single folks. It is like living alone to bear all cost Vs. living and sharing bills with a room mate.

Think.

Marriage is not a Magic Wand to escape Poverty and Wretchedness.

If you like, take his advice. I promise you your pastor will not be found on the days of hunger and your wife shall become his play toy.

Good morning Nairaland family. I have noticed that some pastors will tell unemployed single men to marry and that when they get married and start having kids, that things will begin to get easier for them in life.

Sometimes they say things Luke when you get married, the star of the woman and yours work together to make things easier and give you better things in life.

I used to laugh at this until about a month ago and a pastor I know told me the same thing.
Please how true is this? I need advice from people with such experiences. Pardon my English please.

Thank you and God bless.

What may work for Musa may not work for Adamu....

There was this church member of mine in my former church... He got married not employed. Church even contributed money for his wedding. His wife was employed and had a small car but both of them were close to 40 years of age or more but the got married.... After he got married, things started getting better for him, he even became richer than his wife and bought her a better car... They have at least two kids now...

I know quite a few. The first time I heard it, it happened to my personal hommie who was just earning about 30k. Dude got a lady they both liked themselves pregnant. As I'm speaking to you, one contract came from no where. Bam 3-5million and he grew it. A second followed the same. This doesn't mean diligence and financial appropriatey should be exempted in such unions. There's an oil that magnifies little to become big. Work is crucial as well as planning and action

midnighter:


How do single and married people use the same amount of water, electricity or food...

That's one of the strangest statements I've ever read

okokkk:


The unemployed ones are very fertile because the only thing they do is eat, drink, and sleep. They are the ones most deserving of the companionship of a woman.

In fact, in my three decades on earth, I have never seen an infertile jobless man.

I'm not sure where you live or where you got your math lessons.

In a sane clime, if on the average it takes you 5 liters of water to bath a day. When you the number of your house hold increases by 1 at least your water usage will double.

For cooking if you alone consumes 3 cups of rice a week and say it cost you 100 naira. When you the size of your household increases by 1 at least your expensive on rice on the minimum will be 150 naira based on the assumption that your wife consumes half as much as you do.

Well you may keep this roof but when your family size grows and the living space per individual decreases beyond the required minimum living space for an individual, stress sets in, diseases and other psychological issues creeps in. These alone reduces not only the quality of life the members of the household but it also depletes the family resources: low productivity from stress, use resources that would have been put aside for investment for treating communicable disease etc.

Infact I was marveled too, I'm not sure he resides In this nation. The Advice Is Caveat Emptor. It can only only be feasible for the Working Class. Imagine Two people would use the same Volume of Water. I don't even know where someone who doesn't have a Job would see Cash to pay steady bills. Nanxixx.
