At What Age: by Angeleyez(f): 1:09am On Apr 15, 2008
Not sure if this topic has been discussed b4 but:

At what age should a person began to think about marriage? At what age should a person get married?

So I'm 26yrs and I noticed that most Nigerians around me are asking when am I going to get married (that's been since I was 22); however, most of my America friends are saying "you are young, you have plenty of time".
Re: At What Age: by Angeleyez(f): 1:10am On Apr 15, 2008
Well I think for a woman, 28 is a good age to be married and for a man, 32. What do you think??

Sorry, but we've broken down this topic, analyzed it, thrown it in the trash and recycled it so many times!!!

Well, anywaz, I still think 25

My sister got married at 21, she is 28 now, has had all the kids she wants and shes doing really fine
I am just two years younger but i will be getting married really soon.

Marriage is not just about age, it is about maturity and selfessness.if one is mature at 16, marriage is possible
i know many guys who at 30 are still waiting on the maturing ship to take them away.

I personally think that a young woman should be settling down when she is 27yrs. anyone younger than 27yrs should be enjoying life to the fullness becos i know for a fact that when you get married, there r just somethings that u cannot indulge in anymore, JMHO grin grin grin

God forbid get marry at 27 years,like my dad say"we want an old lady" ahaha lai lainor will my mum sit and watch her daughters get marry that late, for guys it's a different case since they marry late.

My mom got marry at 25 and had me at 26 cheesy cheesy, and am getting marry around that age also just 1yr different from hers

Yea i know marriage isn't something you rush into but are you trying to tell me between the age of 21(since that is the age you finished university) - 24 you haven't found the one.

The only reason why some women gets marry late is because they don't want to give up that dating hood to settle down, they will  prefer to be jumping from one boyfriend to another, rubbish. Without think we (women) age faster than men.

And not to talk about the complication women have when giving birth late

Re: At What Age: by jgirl3: 3:00am On Apr 15, 2008
I think 23 is very appropriate. At that age - you should at least start thinking that there might be a man with whom you will like to match down the aisle with.
Re: At What Age: by iice(f): 11:59am On Apr 15, 2008
A person should think about marriage when he/she feels it. . .

Supported!  Especially with all the diseases out there with no known cure! If ma daughter is not married by 21. . .I will really be on her case because. . .I am sure there is someone out there she can hook up with!  I don't like this old cargo business for males or females. cheesy Thank God for America. . .by age 19 most ladies have had like 2 kids. . .for 2 or 3 men. . . no problem I say. . .Just have them early! cool

The guys nko? shocked  With their sagging balls! grin  God forbid bad thing. If the balls are sagging. . .it better be after like 10 years of my making good use of them. . .not from being used and abused by "along the roadside" virgins as remnants! grin  That is for the salvation army I say!

Later you see them in some 'born again" joint speaking in tongues and disturbing those God has answered their prayers! grin Not realizing it is too late for all that!

MARRY EARLY and HAVE YOUR KIDS EARLY!!!!!-----------Before you guys become salvation army brides and grooms. Who is afraid of Divorce? shocked  No need to marry sef. . .just have una kids abeg! kiss Have your kids early so you can have the energy to run around and enjoy your retirement in peace instead of taking children to school in your 40s while other parents mistake you for the "grandparents" as you limp around the block looking for where to change your diapers full of poop like the children you are struggling to raise! cheesy

If you are going to phock around for over 15 years before you get married. . .you berrrrrrrra have at least one child to show for it. Why waste all that precious egg and sperm just for the memories? undecided
Re: At What Age: by MyPeace(f): 12:20pm On Apr 15, 2008
What if you dont see a husband at 21 - 27, what do you do? l have a friend who desired to marry at 26, she is 35 now, and hasnt seen a husband. Will she force a man to marry her? Yes, we all desire to marry early, but we are not God. Personnaly l desired to marry at 25, but was able to marry at 30. l wont force myself into a man's house at 25 before l desired to marry at that age. lf you marry early as you want praise God, if not still pray and wait on God. its never your making.

Husband or wife is not important these days, with the high rate of divorce and separation around the world. . . . . . every one, male or female should just and have one at least.  Because you might have the husband later in your 30's and 40's with no children. 

Personally, I would rather have children and no husband if I had to choose.  My life will be more complete with a child without a spouse than a spouse without a child.  Both. . .the best case scenario!  For those who choose to marry without children,  fine. . .companionship marriage I say. . .as long as you are happy!  I would be happy to be by maself, like anyone else should. with or without kids. . . but these days. . .it is more important to have kids than spouses! cool

Have you kids early and get the spouse later for companionship! kiss

All na choice and luck from God!

To increase your chances of having both a spouse and children. . .GET MARRIED EARLY!  Most of you have been gifted with super marriage qualities in your 20s but choose to play around on Nairaland especially or selling fake virginity on Hi5 and Ebay. . .then come and tell lies that "you no see husband and you know see wife"! Please just grab anyone and to to the altar! grin  Stop wasting time!  If it is a mental illness that is preventing you from getting married early. . .head to the nearest native doctor please and find a cure! kiss

At age 30. . .that na desperation time. . .by force marriage anyway.  Especially for a female. . . anything looks damn gooood even without glasses to see with!  Who una wan deceive? undecided

Re: At What Age: by asanwa: 3:35pm On Apr 15, 2008
Having a child without a man is the way to go. I personally do not think that one needs a man in order to have a child.

My motto is enjoy yourself to the fullest and when you are ready (if you ever get ready) then adopt a new born baby girl or boy and care for them like your own. After all there are a lot of kids who need love and have no parents and also it would save you the hassel of having to carry a protruding belly for 9 months and then going through the pain of squeezing a paw-paw out of your nostril!

Thats my opinion!
Re: At What Age: by Viante(f): 3:44pm On Apr 15, 2008
@Asanwa,
Your opinion reeks of grated frog skin.

@Topic, Marry when you is ready, its better than marrying and divorcing faster
than the speed of light.

My mum got married at 19, she woke us up this morning with

At 30, at 30, you will not be in my house oooh!

i looked at her and put my head back on the pillow, hmm i still have a long way to go. . . . .

Grated frog skin!
Well I was just expressing my opinion, why would I want to subject my self to such anxiety when there I a lot of motherless children.

Must I grunt and cry (for the sake of contractions)? Must I insult the swine that got me pregnant (for the sake of mood swings)? Must I add extra unshiftable pounds (for the sake of 'my dear you are glowing')

Abeg Jare!

I'll give my love to the motherless. It is most satisfying to me

I know someone that had the same problem, still this day she still regretting for not getting married earlier. She has everything a woman want in this world expect two things, husband and child.
Why the younger sisters and brothers are  all married with kids, that thing almost drove her crazy cry cry
They had to advice her to have a child out of wedlock, 3yrs ago she had a baby boy kiss kiss.
She's in her late 30s now, and still no husband, anyway I think she's done searching

What life are you enjoying that you can't do with your partners?
My mom told me that after she get married, her and my dad still party together, eg jazz club (once in a while) to spicy up the relationship cheesy cheesy cheesy, you don't have to change who you are just after married

What are you saying undecided

Let me tell you something, there is a difference btw a child you carried for straight 9 months and not to talk about the
pain she went through during the labor to an adopted child.

Like they said blood is thicker than water

Lmfao you think the family will accept/treat an adopted child like their own, hell NO
