A union where the man loses his right and the woman gains every thing. Sound dumb but that is it IMO 1 Like |

Marriage is that feeling of suffocation or drowning, except there is always a SCUBA attached to help you breath and stay alive in the water or to resurface. 1 Like |

In the late 60s through the 70s and earlier part of the 80s, marriage was seen as what a man and a woman go into for the rest of their lives; it was very odd to hear of separation and divorce. abeg go and sit down. Have you ever heard of something called POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE? CHILD MARRIAGE? ARRANGED MARRIAGE? ABUSIVE MARRIAGE ETC see as he is pretending as if marriage has always been the same happy perfect cookie-cutter christian activity between one man and one woman. 1980s ko, 2050 ni. Did Fela and his harem of 30 wives exist before 1980? abi you want to pretend as if you did not know that happened in the 90s. Marriage has existed even before christianity existed. read your bible well. Marriage will continue to exist for a long time in various forms. Look at him preteding as if he has never heard of a separated couple before. Just because they don't call themselves divorced doesn't mean they did not separate and find new wives/husbands even if they move to a different state to do it. The only difference is that men used to do it (a man will leave his wife and go and find another wife) but now, women can do it too. women are free to re-marry as well. Just as we now have women pastors and preachers etc. I see you mention catholic church. oh I forgot, catholic church still bans women from preaching. Catholic church also ban people from using condoms. Last time I checked, Mary the mother of Jesus was a young girl. that makes her marriage to Joseph qualify as CHILD MARRIAGE. It will be considered a crime today in 2013 in many parts of the world (except maybe middle east)!! Times change. live with it!! abi we should also still be killing twins? each person should define marriage for himself/herself jare. 2 Likes |

Marriage is where women, legally hustle men into slavery ; moan in pleasure at night and cry and complain by day, while the man bears his pain grudginly without complaint. |

Marriage is the union of a man and woman to fulfill their dreams, ambitions and destiny together. For a marriage to succeed, the couple must have goals/vision,work towards them and fulfill together. # When I say successful, I am not referring to the length or the wealth that exchange hands; I am talking of one they fulfilled the purpose they came together. They multiplied in all aspects and their home brings glory to God Sorry, I do not have the Nigerian dictionary/Bible 1 Like |

Marriage is a journey, not a destination. Sometimes bumpy, sometimes smooth. Sometimes pleasurable and sometimes downright aggravating! Love is a tiny fraction in the composition because sometimes you fall out of love, rally and fall in love again with the same person. It is a commitment. A test of maturity. Btw, I'm married and even though it's not "lived happily ever after", I am so glad to be married |

Marriage to me is not what many of you think of.It is an eternal union to complete me.What i mean is d@,i will not marry for marrying's sake rather i will go for my other half.Don't marry because of love,beauty,wealth but compatibility,understanding,focus.Why do i even marry someone i can't converse with for 3hrs non-stop as the case maybe?otherwise = divorce!!! 1 Like |
