I love marriage as ordained by God devoid of adulterous husband or wife - any other trash/form, is BULLSH1T and not marriage to me. cool
Last time I checked you were one of the most vocal supporters of homosexual marriage. I suppose that is also marriage ordained by God? Quit clowning!

Homosexual Marriage?
Dig out my post where I supported it.
Thanks
I believe in live and let live and it doesn't equate marriage.

Unmarried women with- marriage is not the ultimate.

Marriage is the ultimate achievement in life.
God made woman for man and said we should go into the world and procreate.

God did not say - go in the world and get a degree.

All the degrees you have and all the jobs are merely - toiling with hands to eat.
Yet even the bird's and the bees do not toil and they eat.

Was not meant as an insult. Most women including myself have issues with weight especially after childbearing. It is normal and we should accept it as an issue we have to deal with or live with.

If you believe in live and let live for homosexual marriage how is that different from what I just said.

Same way I believe live and let live for adulterous couples and it doesn't mean I support them and acknowledge their union.

Get the logic!

Other more fulfilling things like taking a trip to the Himalayas, ascending mount Everest; studying in a discipline so well to know every single bit about it; becoming a professional in something; inventing a product; breaking barriers in one's field. Why don't Nigerians place more emphasis on this? Why is it so usual to see a woman whose only fulfillment is getting married?

Even after meeting all these goals and you are yet to get married,be you male or female,there is still this vacuum of fulfilment left in you,you can pretend that its not so,you can deny it from here till the next generation,thats just the fact,at least we are talking about the nigerian perspective.

what makes me fulfilled is being loved cherished and looked up to.

To snap my finger at anything and its mine

To bring the world down or up at a command

To see people smile

To be heard of all over the world.


That's what makes me fulfilled

There's nothing wrong with it. The human race survives through marriage, procreation and upbringing so it's vital.

Marriage is a wonderful thing. But please marriage is not the ultimate achievement in life. What did you think God meant when he said be fruitful? You think he meant you should go and have 16 children? Pls that's where the degree part comes in. And sit in your house like the birds and bees and wait for food. A marriage where you and your husband are almost killing each other is an achievement right? I give up. Anybody can get married but not anybody can get a degree so this degree you are looking down on is even more of an achievement.

I'm actually trying to find this vacuum, but can't find it. Is that just the Nigerian pressure determining your thoughts?
Re: Why Do Nigerians Rate Marriage So Highly? by NifemiOlu(m): 5:58am On Jul 01, 2015
It's funny when people say marriage is not highly rated in Europe or America. Keep deceiving yourselves. You're getting the wrong impression from the media. What goes on the ground in those countries are never portrayed in the media. Up until now, except for a few people, many people didn't know America has a chronic race issue.
As per marriage, it's highly rated everywhere. In the case of Nigeria, those things people do to get married is the extreme aspect of it and what goes on during the marriage. Many people are not happy yet they can't break off. That's why we feel marriage is overrated in Nigeria. In Nigeria, many people die in silence but in Europe, they have freedom and will to quit any unfortunate or unfavourable marriage. Also people rush. George Clooney isn't married yet but he said he will eventually marry...at when he feels right but the main point is, he's going to get married. So, it all comes down to being married at some point in life even if it may not last.

The ignorant can lay claim to this at this moment. So I'll grant you Antoinne wouldn't have existed. Then again, it wouldn't have stopped another sane, rational person born of a woman from asking this question.

In later ages we should expect science to be able to create humans from mere cells, and not from heterosexual reproduction.
