Quick question for married people: take the woman to see your parents before proposing to her, or propose to her before taking her to see your parents? In what order is this culturally appropriate?

You should seek her consent/agreement to marry you before proceeding to introduce her to your parents as your wife to be.

That consent to me is the proposal and should come first.

But above all, be sure your feelings for each other is genuinely mutual.

Do you propose before dating a woman? If not, then this should not be a question.
The moment you and your girl start dating, it is necessary for your family to know because they watch out for you and give you on whether to marry such or not. You can make it official to them when you are ready to settle down.
The only people that needs official introduction is your kinsmen and that should be after you are done with the proposal and both of you are on the same page.

His family should have known the lady before proposal. If I were the lady I won't accept the proposal without knowing his family.

The appropriate time is when you can foot her bills.
When you are earning at least half a million Naira.
Get a good paying job with stable income before you think of proposing.

Dear young ladies, please don't accept a proposal from any man who is not financially buoyant.
You can't suffer as a single lady and still suffer as a married woman. Be wise. Don't let them sweet talk you into suffering.
Refuse to suffer.

You're so pathetic with ur entitlement mentality... wretched, what then are u bringing to the table?.. the 40k job that you're begging on nairaland?
Can men just stop with the nonsense "what can you bring to the table?"
What women bring to the table outweighs what men bring.
Some of the things women bring to marriage are things money can't buy. Example; children.

She would certainly see my parents and know them and they know her,
But not for the marriage or announcing her as my wife.

Just for them to all be familiar with each other.

If any day my parents have a reservation they'll let me know.

But when I choose to propose it's going to be no one's business .

If not the fact I'm not yet in my state, she'd already be known very well at home.

They only know her name and face but never met.

The bottom line is all 9ja girls are ashawo both the ones forming GF or church girl. They are all the same.

The fact that you have never caught your babe doing ashawo, doesn't mean she is not an ashawo

Well, there is no one size fits all pattern. First thing is you both should be on the same page. As long as you're both ready then you can decide which should come first. However, ideally, you should ask her first, and when she agrees, you can move on to your parents, except you're having the reservation that your parents may not want her, making it easy for you to dissolve the relationship before it goes any further.

But if that is not the case, then na who get something or has the power over something (please I'm in no way objectifying the woman, just making an allegory) you want, na you need to ask their permission, not who needs to ne informed about your intention of wanting or needing the something.

Anyway, you guys do whatever works for you and good luck.

Her character especially with money
Her character to your family

Don't you think you should ask your parents as the most immediate custodians of your specific culture? It is your parents you are taking the girl to, and they are the ones who can tell you the right order.

Spiritually, your parents are higher than your cleric in of screening your spouse (nowhere in the scriptures does it mention clerics involvement in marriage but parents are involved and mentioned).

Will be nice to take her casually to see your parents introducing her as your girlfriend. Then discuss your intentions with your parents and see their reactions and reasons for acceptance of her or otherwise. Then pray and you will know the next action to take.

You should firstly introduce the lady to your parents, basically for familiarisation.

Proposal shouldn't be something based on external influences, it should be strictly on your and when you feel it's the right time.

And, that time is when you are convinced she's the one for you.

When she is still a virgin and maximum 25 years old. Anything older then well.you are on your own.

A woman's best time to give birth without wahala is between age 19 to 25 years. 25 to 30 years max is pushing the envelope of risk. Above 30 then you have money to spend on csections and wahala and also brave yourself you just might have a kid with down syndrome, trisomy 21 or schizophrenia.

Watch as ENPs rush me and abuse me also telling us how they know a lady who gave birth at 80 years old. Watch the gay men them
