Mynd_44: Hmmmm.

The reason? I don't know cos I ain't married

'they' are listening

Marriage makes irresponsible boy a responsible man by force.You want to be responsible abi,,,MARRIAGE

X

I guess people marry becuz they got have som1 to cal them Mum and Dad or becuz they got to spend their whole life wit a particular person. Hope am right.

Two things as for me. Righteous sex and procreation.

it's importantly for companionship- somebody to make you 'complete'

Foxyhoxy: senseless

if you didnt get the message then your dumbness is a default program and it will be pointless changing the command prompt

when i find that one person i cannot live without

Cuddlemii: Hmmm....I will need to reflect on this. It never crossed my mind.
But I think as you get older, carrying baggages and burden all alone becomes stressful, you need a helper, companion, bedmate/sex-mate & friend.
Changing wares don't last & makes you loose appetite. How long do you want to keep up with dating amaka, sleeping with titi, smooching adaku?
You have got to get ownership & make it permanent/consistent.

variety is the spice of life. Y don't u marry dem all cos on vagina can be boring #justsaying#

For companionship, to avoid fornication and so dat I don't die genetically. Someone has to continue the phylogenetic tree.

Marriage is one of the greatest frauds in human history. It's no more than an ego-boosting formality. Every thing you get from marriage can still be gotten without it.

Companionship. It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make him a help meet for him. Gen.2:18

The main reason for marriage, is to have someone that your family people can blame for all your failures, laziness, inability to send money home or be successful or rich.

It also serves as a cover for all your life misfortunes and under-achievements. A bonafide excuse for failing to meet important life responsibilities, expectations or working hard.

If you are not married, all your excuses for been an under-achiever or failure to meet certain obligations; will not attract too many sympathetic ears. But once you get married, they will all of a sudden look beyond you and see a 'valid' reason to blame for all the problems you have been facing and instead of focusing on making you to see reasons to get up your butt and work harder in order to meet your obligations, their focus and energy will be laser targeted on removing that 'valid' reason.

Since you know that, their efforts will blow your cover, you will stand as a man to protect your family....your innocent wife not knowing your true motives will support and stand by her husband and so shall both of you be, married forever for better for worse till death do you part.

For me Companionship and growing my own family .....wish I have started already ...... God knows best.

A man, or women alone is not a complete person. Together they build a family. A family is stronger than any nation. A nation without the strength of families, will never stand.
My country, The U.S.A was a nation of families. It is not so today...see how she falls.

PLS MR MODERATOR KINDLY TAKE THIS TO THE FRONT PAGE AS I NEED AN URGENT & GENUINE ADVICE. THANKS.

I am a young man in my late twenties. I currently work with one of the multinational oil firms in Nigeria.
Since 2years ago that i got this job there has been an intense pressure on me from my Parents(especially my Mum) to get married.
Not that i don't wish to, but my problem is that i have been a religious fellow all these days(who has been indoctrinated in the belief that an unmarried young Brother should not have any close relations/friendship with a single Sister), right from my child hood beyond my university days.
Now my problem is how do i get to meet this MRS RIGHT and how do i get to know her character/worth without going against the teachings of my faith?
Pls i will appreciate candid advice from matured Brothers/Sisters & Friends in the house.
God bless you in anticipation.

It's simple.. Biblical reason for marriage is to be helpers to each other.. A man is to support a woman's vision, and vice versa... Eve was made as a help mate for adam

The teachings of your faith is not beyond run away from fornication. The truth is that you can start from friendship with a lady you like, while observing her characters to you and others. Dont declare ya intentions yet so she does not fake it.. Have plenty casual friends and study them. You will find mrs right.. Hence knw that no one is without blame. Try and avoid talks that initiate temptations. Thank you.

azpekuliar: Legalised fvcking! All others are secondary!

GBAM! I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THIS IS THE ONLY ACT WHOSE SINFULNESS OR NOT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT :-) :-)

Firstly,for help-meet, to complement each other, for spiritual re-enforcement; iron sharpeneth iron, for companionship; it is not good for man to be alone, for oneness; they twain shall become one flesh, for procreation; for child bearing and child rearing and lastly to avoid fornication; to live in purity.

''It is not good for a man to be alone'' said by God.

That is the reason for marriage.

People get married becos of either family or society pressure, or (feel among).

berem: I need to watch that movie 'WHY DID I GET MARRIED'.

crazy movie

lrguru: The most important reason people get married is the most important reason for marriage

which is?

marriage fix ur missing rib

People get married because of love, because they want to have a family with that special dude/chic and raise good kids.

To RAISE children.

True2myself24:

Companionship

You just took that out of my mouth, and companionship it is!

Marriage is a territorial mapping. A kind of "keep away " sign board " accepted by most societies as they procreate and compartmentalize the new generations into families , clans and tribes.

Free or at least prepaid ssex may be the reason.
