At 38 No Urge To Get Married by Emuf(op): 4:05pm On Jul 18, 2020
A friend of mine want to know if it is normal. He's close to 38years and doesn't feel anything about getting married. He has enough resources to get married, but he's just indifferent. What could be responsible for this?

Thanks for your inputs.

I agree with @kestolove95... Till you find that person; do not marry out of necessity.

It's is life,it's is passion and all you got to do is advise him.

He has a spiritual wife, should go for deliverance
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by VenusEAGLE: 4:50pm On Jul 18, 2020
It's a life of choices. There is nothing wrong with him but how does he handle seeing his friends with their wife/wives ?
For me I would like to have as soon as possible

Is either he has been keeping too many relationships and cannot see himself been married to just one or he missed his calling of being a Reverend father.
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by GboyegaD(m): 5:07pm On Jul 18, 2020
That's his choice. He might not see the value marriage would add to him and most importantly, marriage isn't meant for everyone thus, he's fine.

Everybody must not get married. Even the Bible said it

Thanks for your inputs.
1. He has no desire for female companionship/warmth
2. He is very dedicated to his calling and thinks marriage is a hindrance
3. He has women already performing the duties of a wife without marrying him. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? cheesy
4. He is an homosexual
5. He has phobia for commitment; refer to number 3
6. He has an impediment stopping him from getting married
7. He has seen too many things go wrong hence not interested in marriage

Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by Hathor5(f): 10:59pm On Jul 18, 2020
Maybe he is simply content with his life the way it is.

That your friend is a very rare kind. He is one not cowed by societal pressure for marriage. And he should remain that way except when he believes within his spirit that the time to settle has come. Else he goes into what he is not prepared for and rush out like a raging dog.

Nothing is responsible.Marriage is not a must for everyone.

The issue is usually the older you get, you need people around you. All the best to him sha , Marriage is not for everyone
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by StPete: 11:04am On Jul 19, 2020
Your guy has had too many fvcks with lots of ladies at his beck and call, so there's no immediate need to settle down. Besides, most ladies are leeches, so he's already imagining the burden of harbouring a leech for the rest of his life.

If he still have a woman he makes love to when the urge comes up, then he is the one delaying himself

Why won't he have urge for marriage, even baby mama, what is he afraid of ?

Is he afraid of women or having children making noise in the house

Well he can remain the way he choses to be, then marry when he gets double of his present age
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by BigSarah(f): 9:15pm On Jul 21, 2020
He doesn’t want to share his personal space
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by cooooooks(m): 10:52pm On Jul 21, 2020
He hasn't met someone or decided on being with someone forever.

If or when he does, it'll happen in a flash.
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by We4all: 11:24pm On Jul 21, 2020
I know a lady who is about the same age and doesn't feel the urge to get married or even have kids. I guess it all boils down to priorities, and according to her, marriage is not one of her priorities.
Re: At 38 No Urge To Get Married by Takotsubo: 11:43pm On Jul 21, 2020
You don't have to marry,it's perfectly alright..
Nothing abnormal here.
