Does it make any sense for a newly married
couple to be staying in a five bedroom
house?.....what's your take?

Do they have the money? Why not, they can! Na their money nw, money is meant to be spent YOLO

comfort my dear. i like space alot

It's their choice to make not ours...

Yes they can. What matters is that they have their own space, which should be sacred.In fact,if they can afford a 20 bedroom flat,why the heck not?

That would depend on the kinda people they are and life they want. Personally, I prefer a six bedroom duplex as an ideal home.

Wow! I thought the ladies would support this. But really, can 2 people live in a 5br apartment without getting lost?!

We care

To each their own-if they can afford it, who am I to say it's not adviceable?

However, i personally prefer small cute houses!

Mansion is in my plan. I love space.

I build for the long term.

My wife rejected all d 3bedroom apartments I proposed. She insisted on a 2bedroom. She said 3bedroom will allow unnecessary company, which I agree with. 5bedroom is not necessary, there is time for everything. Even if d house belongs 2 them, let them partition it n rent it out. More money!

Ok, you have a point sir!

As long as they've weighed the pros and cons for themselves. Whatever floats their boat.

Now this is a practical couple!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! five bed room apartment for what na? they can if they got the house as a wedding gift or if the already built it before the wedding but if the have to get a place to start liife, then to me that's pure stupidity. what will they need it for?? its not just going to be a waste of money but also an evidence of missed priority.a big house wont guaraty a beautiful marriaage. in my opinion it is totally not needed.

they can stay in haven if they can match the cost

No they should stay in shared one bedroom. Divide it wit a curtain

That's terrible!

@OP, a five bedroom apartment is no big deal jare. The more space the better. Infact, if I'd had that when I got married, this is what the bedrooms would have been used for...

~ Master bedroom: hubby and I

~ 2nd bedroom: Nursery for the little one when he / she makes an entrance

~ 3rd bedroom: Guest room

~ 4rd bedroom: hubby's workshop / study / office

~ 5th bedroom: my study / library / office [size=1pt]/ hideout for the extra shoes, bags, accessories, and so on..[/size].

be real & stop fantasising........... Newly weds don't nid all dat space.

Really?

Are you saying newly weds don't need a separate room for their guests?

They don't need a separate room for their kids when they start coming?

The man and woman don't / won't have careers of their own or need space to do their thing? If the man's into antique collection / furniture building / restoration - you don't think he'll need a separate room for that? Or the woman to do her own thing too?

So what makes owning a five-bedroom apartment if they can afford it fantasy? Not everyone is an advocate of living on each other's heads you know.... or partitioning a room with five curtains / wrappers...

Efe, I'm trying to be very serious at work this morning!

Siddon there na!

You nor know say na conditio dey make crayfish bend??

If most newlyweds weren't hard up for ca$h, what's to stop them from acquiring that much coveted 5 bedroom apartment if they can easily afford it? Besides, property always appreciates in value. Buy cheap (now) and sell expensive (later). I understand it's a family home, but the insinuation that because they're newly weds means they shouldn't have class?

Wetin? Not everyone fancies a face-me-I-face-you bedsit with a communal pit latrine at the edge of the compound...

Niiiiiice . . . But this is how I would do mine . . .

~ 3rd bedroom: Guest room

~ 4rd bedroom: hubby and I's study / office

~ 5th bedroom: Laundry and store room for extra boxes, shoes, luggages e.t.c

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! if they can afford it fine but looking @ it from a more generalised view, 5 bedroom apartment is rather too big. i have not said they have to stay there all their lives but as for starting life its rather too much.
for newly weds, d guest can stay off and let dem live their lives. planning is all it takes. i am looking at it as starting life afresh, u dont nid all that space. u just plan well. why wud newly weds even be in different rooms one of the sweet tin about newly weds shud actually be getting too much of each oda. the money used to pay for such a large house where they both end up using just one room and a kitchen can be used for other importants tins.

be realistic jare

like seriously how many couples married for over 10yrs today live in 5 bedroom apartments

This is mine,

1 - Masters- hubby and I

2 -nursery
3 - guest
4- my office/ library
5 - hubby, game section and gym house

6 - a wooden house known as dog house to put tools, by cycle or unwanted toys and clothes etc..

You see, every thing occupied.

So I need 6

Mzflexydeeva: like seriously how many couples married for over 10yrs today live in 5 bedroom apartments

My parents weren't married up to 5 years when they started living in an 8-bedroom apartment (twin flats) . . . even before they built theirs.

By the time I have my second child we'll be moving to a 5-bedroom. We have just one LO and live in a 3-bedroom and you cant even begin to imagine the clutter . . .

Trust me, I'm being reasonable!

How could I have forgotten that?
