Marrying early is the best

For starters, it's not even an achievement...!

No time is really too late for a man to marry, as long as he marries the woman he is happy and compatible with.

Age consciousness in marriage can lead to serious problems.

Stephen2324:
Men who married at 24, 25, 26, 27. Do you regret it? If you could, would you have it different next time?

I wish I had married at that age.
I initially planned to but after graduation no job immediately drove that out of my mind.

The reason I liked the idea is that by the time you are in the 50s your children will be teenagers already. I would love to be like paddy to my son.

I got married around 30. I'll have loved to marry at max 27 yrs. The battle against temptations in the late 20s is herculean. Except those who engage in premarital sex

Currently at 20, in this country who would be thinking of marrying at those ages mentioned by the OP marriage is not for struggling guys.

That depends on individuals... I know many who married mid-twenties and seriously regretted it.

Some of such marriages are currently very prone to divorce.

Not saying it is bad, but everyone should marry when he is fully ready mentally, emotionally, financially, and otherwise.

There is no award on Earth and in Heaven for people who marry earlier than others.

I regret not marrying early 23-26.
Will orientate my kids to plan marriage within that bracket.

There are 60 year olds with teenage sons and daughters who they are paddies with.

At the same time, there are close-aged parents and kids who don't bond at all.

You guys should quit mounting needless pressure on yourselves and your peers to marry when they are clearly not ready.

It's obvious you're question is directed at the millennial and genz generations. Our parents all got married in their twenties and 50 years later, they're still good with grown up kids and waxing strong

It's not wise for a man to marry in his 20s due to love or whatever reason even if the money is there.

Because when you become wiser in your 30s, you will likely realize your mistakes and will feel trapped.

Marriage decisions should be made when the man is fully matured mentally.

Owo ni Koko
No finance no romance
Love will not pay the bills

Speak for yourself pastor...

Early marriage is undeniable the best when entered prepared and have the right partner

just like early education.

Pastorjohn2:
I married at 26 and divorced after 3 months.

I'm currently 43 with 3 churches and 2 houses and am already currently building another church to boost myself.

Some marriages are chains and most women are daughters of Satan's child (jezebel).

A man that marry in his 20's is a fool.

Very wicked OP.
So you dey hide for backyard since all this time, waiting for tales of misery.
As you no hear anyone, na im you come dey ask question.

Age matters little.
Just be ready; mentally and financially.

Qatar2022:

They won't tell you they regret it but high percentage of them regret it

Married at 28
Best decision i took
When money later came i did not have to start searching for love

AfahaAbia:
To me men who marry at that age are very big fools!!! Most of them hope to use their children as retirement plan!!!

To me myopic thinking people like you are big fools..

Well, Economy!
Back then, it was easy to get a job and one person's salary (Dad), was totally enough for the whole house, rent, new car, school fees... everything.
Today, husband and wife will be doing 24hrs shift work to see food money.

Oga
Nothing beats having kids early
Full stop
Dont allow naija economy paint early marriage as a bad thing. Our parents generation got married early and it was cool.

Whats the beauty in dropping your kids at primary school in your 60s

Oga... Did I say it is bad to marry early?!!

Those days and now, are they the same?!!

Some of our parents that married early then did so out of societal and peer pressure... I have heard many of them say if they could go back in time, they would have waited at least 5 more years before settling down.

It's different strokes for different folks... And who told you everyone marries strictly because they want kids?!!

Guy, go read a book or something. Quit projecting your cultural orientation as facts.

Everyone is not of the same mindset, at least not anymore...!

What has kept Flavor, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tekno, etc, from getting married with all the Millions they are worth?!!

Not a single regret, in fact I’m one of the world happiest guy. Met my wife 11 years ago when I was 19 and she’s 18, had our first daughter 6 years ago and legally married now for 5 years and I’d say I made the best decision of my life.
I’m just 30 and my first child is in Pry 1 already.

Interesting...most of them really do but they won't admit it...and most of them are all those that impregnated a girl and were forced to marry her...or all those only son early marriage wahala...
Me l'm 28... l'm comfortable to an extent...but l won't marry till at least l clock 30 to 32...
Besides truth be told... it's not what l know now as a man at 28... that l know when l was 23 or 24..the more life experiences you see...the more emotionally and mentally strong and matured you are...very simple and short....

Have you ever cheated on your wife? Genuine question

Am not sure d marriage will last, bcus maturity matter most in marriage, bcus if lady bring in dey re craxy tin ehn? If not fully mature man will fall beating her everyday

Nope best decision I have ever made, 4kids n existing the 5th, 3 boys n a girl, business booming n my career is progessing well, the boys are doing very great in school and are each others competition, 2013 till date has been a blessing because that marriage reposition my focus to new goals knowing the responsibilities I got. You are making a mistake as a man if you go being 30 unmarried. Yea my first son is in jss1 and I'm just 35, my wife 30 and trust me that family i created is bonded strongly, you can't oppress anyone cos we re all coming for you including my 2yrs old daughter that believe has teddy monkey can protect us all, don't worry. I grew from the street n now I'm a top accountant where In the organization I work, I know the street well and I'm putting my kids through the rope to learn the street without going into the street. Belive me if u meet that woman and you amhave a job, go for it, no job? No problems, use your brain and work your hands to bleed that money. Marrying young is heaven when the money and trust exist, I never ever regret marrying except for the period I went on training in geneva where I regretted being married cos I was Hot as hell n wife was in Nigeria, my vows couldn't let me believe me even tho the girl that was right there was Ethiopian and was so willing.. that's my only regret so far

You dodged a bullet by not having anything to do with the Ethiopian woman. They are up to no good along with there counterparts from Eritrea

martolux:
And the ones who married in their 40s plans to bear kids for other people to cater for?

How do you mean? That a child of 20 or 25 years old is too small to take care of themselves? Do you know the age I started living alone? You think it's about being alive or strong to live with your children is all that matters? What if you've got nothing to offer them?

This actually the best time to marry. Naija economy don reset guys brain from norm to abnormal

thesicilian:
Most of them will not admit it but they actually do regret it

why would they regret it?

are you one of them that regrets it?

That last statement is exactly why one needs to be mature before marriage...

No regret. Trained kids when the economy was good

Silentgroper:
even at 27 ..

Nah way too early...

Even 27 too early? Haba.
Nigeria is what makes people marry late. I knew back in the day an indigent student at UI ibadan, at 24, he got a job at chevron with starting salary of 10k, an un heard of amount. In 6 months the fella married his woman.
Why do I say naija is the problem? The economy and how things are set up.
A young man in the uk, at 24 is already married if he wishes to, he already has a house based on modgage, a nice brand new car on lease. He is working with skills acquired. By the time he is 27, he buys a bigger house by selling the previous one(as family has grown), he keeps paying his modgage and building his wealth through his property. Access to credit helps him.
Here in naija, you are on your own, even steady job hardly can run your expenses, to have a house, you muct cough out the whole money or pay huge rent with atleast 1 year payment.
Inshort, naija makes people advance in age before becoming men.
