Reason’s Why Some Single Men Or Women Delay in Marriage
Waiting for Mr. or Mrs. Right
Some men or ladies still don’t have total trust on the suitors who approach them for a relationship leading to marriage. They don’t want to associate completely with a sinner in such a way that if they realise there’s even an iota of sin on someone they are on a date with. They quit immediately and move on with expectation of meeting someone one day with an angelic behaviour to marry.
Education
There are those who put too much focus on education. I must achieve a degree, masters or PhD then I think of marriage. So you find he has achieved the degree he wanted with zero investment at age 35 maybe. From there, he is on the job seeking job, by the time he’s gotten a job and settled to marry or get married he/she is 43 years old.
Evangelistic mission
There are some who have put more focus on mission work until they’ve no time to settle. In this category, you’ll find a man who is above 35 years, no job, no wife, no house. He depends on pirating on friend’s houses, depending on handouts and speaker’s token of appreciation when he’s invited to minister in a certain church.
Responsibilities- there are some, who lost their parents at youthful age, so they assumed parental role because of being a first born.
Therefore, raising up their siblings make them stay long before they resort on marriage.
Lack of job Opportunities or Source of Livelihood
There’s no woman ready to marry a jobless man. But even if it’s not so. There’s no way you can plan to marry with a dry pocket or when unstable. When you have no source of livelihood, means even taking a lady out for a date will be a problem. So men in this category rarely have even girlfriends to entertain because of joblessness.
Instability
some youths are still unstable in life, it’s either because they work and earn a dollar a day or they don’t have a job at all. Therefore, even buying a calf as a dowry payment becomes a problem.
Indecision Making
This happens when one dates more than one man or woman. He or she realises that all of them are worth marriage, therefore it becomes difficult for him or her to decide. By the time he now wants to settle with one, shit happens.
Expensive Dowry Expectations by Parents
Some ladies are still looking for men who can take a million home as a dowry. They had taken some men before and were rejected on grounds that they couldn’t agree on dowry negotiations. Let’s pray that they’ll get one who’ll meet the threshold.
Disappointment- some were disappointed in the past relationships. They still feel insecure with forming another relationship so they give up easily especially when they notice a red danger.
Adultery
some youths doesn’t see the need of marrying or getting married. As long as they have money and good seducing skills, they can convince any other lady or man to bed. They’ve children outside wedlock so they don’t see the need of marrying or getting married.
