@Post

No, I cannot look forward to anything that does not benefit me in any way, art or form and then puts me at risk for sexually transmitted diseases knowing fully well that most people are filled with the demonic spirit of lust and cannot stick to one sex partner for the rest of their lives.

The problem is that many of the females in
this forum are so emotionally damaged
and battle scarred from failed relationships that getting married is
not an option... people like *some text missing*

Why would any sane person not think of being married someday?

Lol @ missing text

if only those who feel that way realise that a failed relationship will not necessarily translate to a failed/broken marriage. Neither will a smooth r/ship guarantee a successful marriage. However I beg to differ slightly......

For me, I think its a thing of self ego/pride/arrogance of some ladies

Many (Naija) girls who prefer not to marry are predominantly working class ladies who feel they have just enough or comfortable with their earnings that they feel they can do without a man as husband. Obviously, they believe they are self made and can't humble themselves before any man all in the name of marriage, except of course if the man is like ×10 richer than them. They believe albeit erroneously that money/economic need is the only reason a woman will/should get married to a man, forgetting that marriage exists more for reasons such as bonding and not just financial gratification.

Another category is those who are disenchanted about marriage cos of the over bearing attitude of some men. They believe that some men are too domineering, bossy, intolerant and control freak. Also experiences/stories they hear about others from abusive relationships and marriages scare the living daylight out of them, hence their stand on marriage.
Sad as it may be, this is true! Some men definitely don't deserve to be called husbands, so on this, I sympathize with the ladies who hold this view.

However, that some men have this obvious shortcoming doesn't mean one should give up on marriage. Please by all means marry. Terrible tales of others experiences shouldn't discourage you. That their marriage was full of thorns and abusive doesn't mean yours wont be rosy. The reason i will advice that we all work on ourselves (myself inclusive) to attract and get attracted to the right persons. So please a change of mindset will suffice here for the ladies.

None of the sexes has the monopoly of 'toutish' tendencies and waywardness. Just as we have hopeless and useless men who should have no business with marriage, we also have hopeless and useless women who don't deserve to be called wives.

In the spirit of the new year and as a good christian, I wish every Nlder a very blissful, eventful, abusive and violent free and of course a mutually beneficial relationship/marriage this year.

And yes, for those of us who are considering marriage in the very near future, possibly in 2014 I pray God provides us with what/who we desire in our partner/spouse. AMEN..

....Happy day people

True there!
By the time they 'wake up' belatedly, they begin to run from pillar to post seeking for divine intervention from church to church.

so reverend fathers are not sane

Vilicious: so reverend fathers are not sane

Don't be shallow.

We are not talking about people who by their calling are restricted from marrying. Rev fathers as you and I know are expected to be celibate
