Is Marriage An Achievement? by Viciyke(m): 8:21pm On Oct 11, 2012
Am jus wondering if marriage is an achievement because i see young ladies/men who seem not 2 have achieved anything yet in life go into marriage cos of one reason or the other. So do u tink marrying when u av not reached ur expectations in life an achievement or a good idea?

Well, it depends.....it's an achievement but at the same time.....even if you haven't achieved anything before marriage, most marriages bring in enough achievements for the couples......and open many opportunities

If your car is an achievement, then marriage is much more than an 'achievement'.

If you are able to pay her dowry (small or huge) and wed her in a registry, church or mosque, then you are an achiever! Do not mistake marriage with sleeping around or co-habitation.

op what do you mean by someone who hasnt achieved anything in life going into marriage?


you seem to be complaining about two different things hence your question makes little sense.

people who marry, have their reasons for doing so, which might not necessarily correlate with whatever you think should be the norm.

and as a matter of fact, there are far too many armchair critics these days- una no do, therefore una just go dey take bad eye look others.

free your mind before your miracle passes you by while you are stewing in envy or whatever.

Yes, marriage is an achievement. As you are not married and have achieved nothing, you are a double failure.

only a good marraige is an achievement. a bad marriage is a failure. a personal one 'cause you suffer from it.
many marriages are a failure. a few are a achievement. and the divorce rates are on the rise.
however, if someone chooses not to marry, fr one reason or another, he / she has not necessarily failed.

it depends on the motive for marriage.

For example: If the reasons for going into marriage is to get papers to travel abroad I CANT DESCRIBE THAT AS AN ACHIEVEMENT, even if the motive was fulfilled!

So to me it depends on the motive!
The motive determines if the marriage will hold or not!

Actually, sir, i think you're the one being overly critical. The dude has asked a honest question but you just have to run him down.

One wonders why there's so much hate going around these days...

my dear, life is a personal fin. there is no yardstick for marriage age or anitin. inshort there are no parameters for achievements, marriage, success, money, or being made. its al a personal fin. wat eva u call achievement is a personal fin. so life is totally subjective, depending on your frame of reference. so its an achievement for some. while d criteria u re trying to put b4 it, is immaterial. moreover, wat is d tin dey re suposed to achieve dat u re stressing abt? wat abt dose dat hav achieved dis ur yardstick dat re nt yet married? wat do u hav to say abt dem? for instance 2_face is not married, does dat mean dat he has nt achieved? #thumbsup
