Marriage is a very important norm in our local society
In our setting ladies are often expected to marry early than men . Once you are done with senior high you are automatically eligible for marriage. In some other cultures girls marry even much younger .
Anyway welcome to my post, from my first paragraph you can tell what I will be talking about in my post.
I have been asked a couple of times when is my mr right coming to ask for my hand in marriage ? 😂. I always laugh to these questions. Then answer in my head ‘but I am just a little baby girl 😂😂’. Afterwards then I give my usual answer Mr right will show up when I am done with my degree. Actually I want marry as early as possible, not later than 25. So I have got four more years to chill and enjoy my fathers house 😂😂
Now before I move on. which is more important to you in a marriage love, money or both ? Share your thoughts with me in the comments.
I definitely would marry because of love. But I always tell myself Aya, you can not let love get into your head so much. If you blindly go into marriage without considering other factors then you would not enjoy any little bit of it. I am not a marriage expert or something but day in day I hear and see how some marriages end or become a living hell.
So aside being in love with the person I want to marry, there are other factors I would consider which is character, family background, and responsibility. I can not marry a man who isn’t responsible. Even if I would like to my parents would not accept it .Especially my mum . Because every now and then she’s telling me about what kind of man to get involve with and all.

As much as love is important in a marriage money is too , basically money is everything, it is not necessary for you to be rich but at least well to do. Going in to marriage definitely the plan of starting a family and having kids and obviously money is needed to take care of the kids, their education, feeding, health and many other more. I am not expecting my husband to bring everything to the table but he should be able to and be the head and provider for the family , my thoughts
The funny things is even now a days men also consider money when marrying their wives , men want to marry a woman who can also work for her own money so she does not become a liability on him.
So if I am asked to choose whether love or money I would go for both. I want love with a big touch of sweet life 😂😂
See you in my next post.
