I swear I have the money for the marriage ceremony, but experience has taught me that planning is very essential, so I will even over manage in the wedding and trad, or I might do one and wait later for one, |

Marriage is not everything! My personal principle is that it's better to marry at 35 financially comfortable, than to marry at 25 broke. I hate relationships getting strained over fickle things like money. Very disgusting it is. I can still remember what happened to someone I know after he married broke. Not something you pray for. Edit.. I also believe it's very selfish to marry broke, because you don't know what your financial situation would be in the short term. How then do you cater for your kids if things do not improve before they come around. Except of course you postpone child bearing. 7 Likes |

Look for a lady much younger than you are so you will have breathing space to have an income to sustain a family. (When people with wisdom say don't marry your age mate, it is because of the breathing space you need to set your foot right but as usual we know so much and scream AGE IS JUST a number) Much younger? Like 13 years younger |

and while yorubas , igbos and other reasonable tribes are putting a lot into consideration before marriage to enable smooth sailing, our brother in the north are busy getting married at the age of 13 to increase population as a means of winning election to remain in power, not caring about the future of the child, throwing them out at the age of 4, the reason we have alimajeries and beggers everywhere , the reason they said the north will constitute 75% of Nigeria population by 2050 2 Likes |

No correlation to what I said tho but I guess when you are like me money wouldn't matter to you,you know there are people who have wealth and don't know what to do with it,these are people who are not worldly MrsPhyno: |

Dis days ppl no longa plan dia wedding any more they end up planning their wedding without planning marriage. Wedding is a day event while marriage is 4 life |

Strahovski1:Easy man... the OP gave a solution for the kids as well. He/ She said if u can't afford having kids right away u can wait with ur partner till when you are ready. Rome wasn't built in a day so u do expect every couple to have their first issue exactly 9 months from the date of the wedding.#justbeingrational 1 Like |

ogechieku: He is the cause of his problems. Why didn't he wait till they had enough money before impregnating his wife? Must he do a naming ceremony? Also the article is saying you don't have to wait till you have made it before you get married. It isn't encouraging people to have kids when they can't afford to. There's no law that says that you must have kids immediately you get married. Some sensible people wait at least two years so that the couple can get to know each other well before starting a family. 1 Like |
