I don't understand this question. All the female loud-mouths who shout about equality in marriage should rather answer the reverse question: Should a Man marry a Lady who is Jobless? I'm sure most people wouldn't see the big deal in that. . . "as long as he loves her". In fact that question would even be seen as ridiculous and needless. Double-standards, right? Go figure.


GBAM!!!, God bless you

a man's value is not in his job or resources. This is a secret many ladies don't know.

So that Naija will end up with another case of husband stabbing wife to death?

The natural order of things as designed by our Creator is for a man to work (till the soil/earth ,   can't precisely recall the scripture but I know it's the first chapters of Genesis) and provide for his family, now when that order is distorted or not followed there are bound to be problems.

The problem may not end in the killing or death of one spouse, but there will be problems.  

The matter may be an entirely different one if he loses his job in the course of the marriage. In a case like that every sensible woman will stand by her man and help him get back on his feet, but when a man seems lazy and reluctant to put in efforts that one na wahala.

WHAT SHOULD A WOMAN WHOSE HUSBAND LOST HIS JOB DO, DIVORCE HIM OR WHAT? SOME PEOPLE JUST REPLY POST WITHOUT DEEP REASONING.
MANY WOMEN LAVISH THEIR HUSBANDS' SALARY, WITHOUT THINKING OF THE EVENTUALLITY. IF SUCH MAN IN THAT CATEGORY LOOSES IS JOB, IS JOBLESS MAN NOT BETTER THAN HIM?

If the lady is marrying him 4 his money then that will b a bad idea coz very soon the money will finish given that more is not coming in and she will end up leaving him after 2 weeks of marriage.
If the lady is marrying him 4 other reasons that have nothing to do with the amount of money in his pocket then fine.
Its better 2 marry and start life from the scratch with nothing and build on from there, but like many have already said "the man has 2 have a vision and future ambition". Not just some1 who lies around around reading the news and saying "what will b will b". . .

A jobless man? It now sounds like a disease. I wouldnt support it anyway.

But what surprises me is that a lot of women want to eat their cake and have it. .
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by Nobody: 9:02pm On Jul 05, 2011
A woman can still live miserably with a man that is working because he cannot think out other ways of making ends meet. Infact a man that is jobless comes in two categories. Jobless and careless OR Jobless and struglling. Some men in the second category are well off than some employed men.

Best is the man who has a job and hustles because time waits for no man(not woman).

Will the man be ready to take up the role a jobless woman married to a working man wouldnaturaly take?
Noooooooo! I do not see that happening in this part of the world, she is expected to bring the dough and and still do all the supposedly 'woman' duties
or she becomes a bad wife lording it over her husband

Thank you very much my sister, women don't mind being the breadwinner but a lot of men have complex and very soon everything will become is it because you payed for this and that. As long as both parties are comfortable with it its fine but its important to make sure that the man is comfortable with the situation and won't become resentful and the woman should do her best not to lord it over him. It takes grace

why should a woman marry a jobless man? is she nuts?
Re: Should A Lady Marry A Man Who Is Jobless? by http(m): 7:57am On Jul 06, 2011
I will never marry any woman without a job, i will never allow myself to be violated by any woman just because i don't have a job. I am a man, pls i have my ego intact grin and will never trade that with anything in this world.

what make me different from my wife is that i provide for the family, that is my job, if she like, she can contribute but will never ask her to do that, and she should do what ever she likes with her money.

I provide for her and the kid, so pls dont even go there.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to loose his value and the bread winner, Guys pls Never marry any woman even if she get pregnant for you if you don't have a job. I pray that no guys fall again in this bad situation, cos its better to be dead than marry without providing and more importantly you being the bread winner. wink

God bless your mouth, how can a man be in a marriage without Job, its better to leave the house and never return till you land job than be in the house depending on your wife, God created women to enjoy the man and man to enjoy his hardwork both physically and emotionally.

I understand the situation where a man loose his job, the advise is this look for job and never return till you land one. I pray that all men going thru this, God will surely come to their rescue, amen.

A minutes of silence for all men going thru this situation, 59' 60' amen grin

Well I have to concede that you're both right; a man is nothing without his ego. But the point I was trying to make was that most women like to have their cake and eat it too. Since it is ok to marry a gainfully employed and well-to-do man, then it should be okay to 'submit' to him as the 'head' in the marriage, rather than talk about equality and 50-50 and all that poo that hypocritical feminists often shout about. That's that. Anyways.

To be honest I would rather die a bachelor than enter into marriage without any source of good income. Women will always be women. No matter how 'good' or 'holy' she claims to be, she will definitely disrespect her husband if she's the breadwinner. Worse is that she would expose his 'uselessness' to all her close friends, sisters, cousins, colleagues, etc. . .making the husband a butt of jokes on account of his supposed 'laziness' (women always equate a man's poverty or unemplyment with laziness). A man is better off dead than putting up with a wife who pays his bills. 

It is not by force to marry. If a man doesn't have up to a certain threshold of regular income or stashed up money, then he should not even contemplate marriage. This is unnegotiable.

Funny thing is that it is even better for a jobless man to marry a jobless woman rather than a woman who earns an income - at least they are better off living on charity. If they are both jobless, at least their mutual joblessness would be a common denominator (lol), and the wife would not disrespect him as much as she would if she were the one paying the bills. It is better for both of them (and the kids, if any) to happily die of hunger (lol), than for the wife to provide food out of her own earnings. You may call this viewpoint extreme, but I tell you it is preferable. A woman who pays the bills and puts food on a man's table would be worse than Lucifer on the day she suffers a 'brain-touch'. She would fling her husband's boxers and singlets out of the window, leaving him unclothed, and daclare with fire in her nostrils - "afterall, I bought every single thing in this house including your boxers" For real.

grin grin grin grin Guy, you got  my ribs hurting  with laughter, especially the bolded.In as much as your points are very funny, they are right on point.
To cut the long story short, an unemployed guy(not those that are being supported by their parents) has got no business with marriage, no matter the love existing.QED
