I reckon whoever came up with that quote conjured it up having observed that marriage seems to be a modern day slavery and advanced imprisonment to many. And yes slavery is 'punishment'. Therefore, he's got a point.

too bad

I don't really agree with the bolded. Marriage (with the right person) is one of the best things that can happen to a man.

ronald4lif:


What do you mean by the right person?. And what are the chances of meeting the so called right person?. Anyways, right person or not doesn't dismiss the fact that most marriage is a legal form of slavery.

When one has to inform someone else of their daily movement and risk being nagged upon should they fail to give a detailed account of where they were and why they couldn't respond to their text/calls swiftly then that's an imprisonment as they are no longer living their lives freely. Their freedom have been constrained to a limit that is acceptable to their partner, not like they want it to be.

AgapeCharis:
The right person is that person with attributes you're okay or can put up with and most especially, fits into your life dreams.

Your second paragraph is laughable to me. (No offense )
You're Making it look mechanical.

ronald4lif:


Sure one can feel someone fits into their dreams or compliments them which goes a long way to sustaining their relationship/marriage when love is still shacking them. But how long do you think one can put up with another's attribute?. It's possible but chances are not as huge as it seems.

Until you understand that there are a great number of unhappy married couples who are still in a marriage prolly because of their kids or the societal views of divorce you'll bury that share similar attributes crap. Separated and divorce couples once felt they shared same dreams, are inseparable and attribute before exchanging vows too.

Of course the last paragraph can be laughable, mechanical or even electrical but the message is an indisputable one.

AgapeCharis:
Of course decisions made based on feelings always turn out badly. Maybe I used the wrong word in saying putting up with someone's attributes. I mean coming to accept and deciding to be committed to someone irrespective of whatever shortcomings they may have.

You sound like this marriage thing is bullshìt. You could just stay away from it since you see it so.

When you marry someone you are happy with and is your friend, you wouldn't see those things as a responsibility. It's something you'll want to do.

ronald4lif:

Friendship doesn't always last forever and there's a limit to which one can tolerate others shortcoming. People change and their supposed shortcomings might change too, possibly for the worse. So one should put up with shit because they are married?. Or you think one's shortcomings can't get worse or their partner can't get fed up of it at some point?.

You see, when someone attempt to raise pertinent concerns, something a lot of people conveniently decide to shy away from discussing in relating to marriage doesn't mean they abhor the marital institution so your second paraphrase is unwarranted and completely irrelevant. It's akin to one being labelled a hater just by asking questions or constructively criticising a person's behaviour.
