I can categorically tell you that your sister has not seen her kind of man that is why you think she is not serious about getting married.

I was like her until I met my man. I squarely focused on my career and other important things that my mum would not let me rest. In fact several people tried to connect me with suitors but I never liked any of them.

You and your mum should just let her be and keep praying for her, when she meet her man Na she go tell una say she wan marry.

You cannot force her to marry. Marriage is not for everyone also. Some people are better off single for themselves, for the family and for the society.

My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.
must every woman marry?
She's living her life, marry if you want marry .

U don't even try to find out her view about being married/single. everyone one have his or her own plan about life,she can decide to even marry very late to advance person/ be a single mother a have her children, since she have good and money . you can't even choose her life for her,but if you're so much concern just encourage her.

Interesting...

It means if she was your younger sister, you would have beaten her to pulp. This is how Nigerian families are always in support of their women staying in toxic marriages. You people will rather die or allow the woman to die herself than to see the women in your family unmarried.

You dont force people to marry rather you encourage them to marry

So, you can seat with her on a good day and tell her that you are waiting for a day you will walk her down the alter and that day will be one of your happiest day on earth

I think this is a polite way of letting her know that you want her to get married

Lastly, you have to be careful so that you don't create problems with you and her in the future, no body will support you for being confrontational because it's her business

You should be ashamed of yourself. You are the man of the house but your sister assists you financially. You are not married and it doesn't seem like you would be in the next 10years. You sound like a teenager sef. Just grow up kid. Leave your sister to live her life. Get a life, get a job. "man of the family" no be job.

Wait she gives you money and the only thing you want for her is marriage. Is this the same marriage that 2 ladies were burnt to death in one week or is the one Oni of ife is doing. If am your sister I will.stop giving you money. If you love your sister you would support and respect her decision and put her interest first. You think she is not seeing through those men who might just want to eat her money. Our generation is different please.

Marriage is not by force actually...

But some ladies who are ignorant or are willing to remain unmarried tend to mostly regret their decision later in the future....

You can talk to her about it....if she's really ready for it...I mean to remain unmarried...

Cos she looks like someone who is determined to remain unmarried...
is not true. Many ladies are now seeing the deceit in marriage. She might just want kids later on which she can get if she wants without being married.

When a woman starts making money, she believes she doesn't need a man. Does that mean women date men because of financial gains?
Most times you hear them say "I make my own money, I don't need you"

We all need a companion, trust me. She might not feel it now until she approaches 40, and then her friends/colleagues will be focusing on their kids and family. She will be left all alone, then she will become desperate.

She's older than you. I am sure she has seen somethings your inexperience self doesn't know about marriage.

There are some men out there that are not worth calling men. Very lazy to raise their hands supporting their family once they know their wife is capable of taking care of them. Thereby recking their wife. Your sister is just being careful ni o.
