Nowadays, Money/success Is A Prerequisite For Marriage by delleby(f): 3:14pm On Jul 10, 2015
Gone are the days when criterias for marriage were being well groomed, of marriageable age, with good moral background or even state of health. Nowadays criterias like where he/she works, what the figure of their take home salary, who and who in the society are parents and so on are what matters. An example is sister of mine who was told that the reason a guy who initially had interest in her declined was because she didn't have a steady income. Notwithstanding that the lady in question has enviable qualities. Whats even more annoying is that some people go to the extent of researching to find out where and how much a lady/man is paid before they start blabbing how and where God told them that they have found their life partners. Well, understand that the price of baby formulas and diapers are constantly sky rocketing but I am also worried as to the quality of children these marriages based on all these highlighted will breed. In a world that is constantly increasing and changing, just imagine the level that our children will take it to.

Well said, but we both know that the family you just mentioned isn't capable of managing a family with 3 children, how much more 6. i I know it wouldn't have been easy for them, but they, especially the husband should have cut his coat according to his available material. I'm not disputing that money isn't necessary, O Yes it is. but shouldn't be a pre-requisite as such.

You and I both know it's a prerequisite.

When you say "cut your coat according to available material", what's the available material here?

Money!

Like I said earlier, money is very necessary in marriage but using it as a prerequisite is what baffles me. However, its not possible for both parties not to have a source of income. Pls read my initial post about a sister of mine. The guy in question was actually well employed in a multinational company o.

If it's necessary like you rightly pointed out, why shouldn't it be used as a prerequisite since everything will be stalled in the absence of it?

There's something called a scale of preference. If after explaining about a sister who got dumped by a guy who had a good job jst cos of not being gainfully employed and receiving a fat salary herself, all I can say is that its a pity. The lady herself is a graduate with prospects so y limit d requirements to having a job.

I understand what you are trying to say, but the truth is that men are not just looking for wives, they are looking for women that will help them financially. Gone are the days when good character was the only prerequisite for marriage. As a lady, you must have something doing, whether gainfully employed or business, if you want to get married in this generation. To sum it all up I will say no man wants a liability, they want a woman who can help with the financial needs at home.

Exactly!!! Hence the Choice of my Topic. But my fears as highlighted in my first post are for values of the next generation if money is taking the place of virtues.
