George_D:

exactly, so what is the point being married if you still wanna be a bachelor.
Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by Spyker: 7:32pm On Nov 11, 2009
Allta:

First of all Spyker, please define "ADULT" , here are some definitions I found:

1. a person who is fully grown or developed or of age , isn't a 30yr old fully grown or developed or of age?
2. a person who has attained the age of maturity as specified by law. isn't 30yr old enough to attain age of maturity as specified by law?


ACTUALLY, I don't even know why I'm engaged in this self, see, according to the law of the land , a man is OLD enough to marry at the age of 18! PERIOD!


Na wa oh, i thought i didnot specify any number for age, if 18 is ok, marry, an adult is an adult and my opinion is my opinion. No need to quarel me, please

A man is old enough to marry when he is tired of frolicking with women.
Do men ever get tired of that?
Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by Princek12(m): 10:28pm On Nov 11, 2009
When he has reached the age of 25. All that early twenties teenage wedding sh*t is nonsense.

i totally disagree with that, there are so many early 20s that have their head screwed on tight and knows what they doing.

a man shld get married when he his matured Emotionally, financially, spiritually and can take responsibilities for his actions
Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by becomrich15: 2:37am On Nov 12, 2009
emotion and finance have nothing to do with marriage. emotion can change, so can finance. You can make $100,000 this year and make 5,000 next years.

God time. And when you have come of age. do not look at finance to get married, you would never get married.

Use faith. marriage is a leap of faith. Dont be scare if you do not have money. Dont get involve with the nigeria stupid big wedding party. people come to eat away your food and money.

Wedding is not about big party. I have this two couple white , i use to know. one couple did not do a wedding party and use to money to buy a house. the stupid couple went for the stupid big wedding. come and see thier life. Owabe party is not wedding. Look it take about N500,000 for a wedding. What if you buy a land.

It is all about planning. To be rich, you need a good and understanding wife. If you have a stupid mumu wife, looking for kare mi. You would have to be an arm robber.
Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by violent(m): 3:01am On Nov 12, 2009
I think am with Alta on this;
As we get older, the society assumes that we ought to be able to think or take responsibilities fitting for someone of our age bracket or higher.
Between the ages of 1 month to 10 years, we were taught to be solely dependent on our parents and in almost all cases, the latter bear responsibilities for our actions.
during our early to late teen years, we were taught the act of self reliance and independence, we take our first lessons in love and hate, trust and distrust, etc, and the society expects a level of reponsibility fitting for peeps of such age group. {e.g i dont expect a child of 13 year old to run for a political post}.
Once we approach our early twenties to late twenties, the society expects us to have a clear vision as to our approach to life, we are expected to take responsibilities for our actions, we are expected to forge a life that leads towards the act of independence, by this, the society expects that we ought to plan a life that is devoid of parental influence in the majority of the actions we take, and this must also include planning a sustainable stream of income towards future living.
Once in early 30's the society believe that we are OLD enough to choose and settle down with a partner of our choice, however the conditions of survival and stability of such marriage is highly dependent on emotional maturity, compatibility between both sexes and financial situation at the home front.
Situations that differ from these are seen as aberations in many societies and are largely attributed to problems from either of both sexes.
BTW, why would i want to be in single in my late 30s/early 40s?

Support you on this one, that's the major reasons some are not able to marry, because they want owambe party. Especially the women.

Whenever I engage some young ladies in discussion and ask why they are not married but are comfortable living with the guy. Their replies point to the Owambe party attitude. Imagine someone who has a kid with a carpenter (in a village setting) saying unless her guy has nothing less than 1m he shouldn't think of marriage. And funny enough she is still living with him and their child.

Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by otukpo(f): 8:03am On Nov 12, 2009
i concur with when the man is emotionally and financially ready ready to do so. Be it at age 20 or 50.
Re: When Is A Man Old Enough To Marry? by otukpo(f): 8:05am On Nov 12, 2009
Talk of married man still trying to bachelors, they can hardly be free from that except when the man is probably over 70 yrs. Men love playing around.
