Convince Me Why One Should Get Married, & I'll Convince You Why One Shouldn't by Joel3(m): 2:30pm On Jan 04, 2016
An open debate with fact and what's happening around in the society.

how about living together as boyfriend and girlfriend and then grow old and die? will a life not be completed or fulfilled? is it a must to tied the knot? you see when the registrar is been signed and the whole thing becomes legal biding in both religious or traditional acceptances of marriage in mate I think that is when a lot of things goes wrong.

don't give me the bullshiit that its for better for worst. many innocent victim are been blind folded into signing this shitt. and they will tell him or her to remain in it forever. I am an advocate for this shit to be destroyed. I know in 22nd century this thing called marriage institution will be destroyed
.

many single hide their true self and wait patiently for the scam called marriage to be signed first before true color is out. definitely not me except ofcource I have my own interests 200% otherwise no thanks and no deal

You OP should get married ESPECIALLY. . . . because of YOUR SAD REPUTATION as a FAILED playboy ON AND OFF NL!!!!

It becomes highly EMBARRASSING when you end up in the ER or MORTUARY, and you always have to skip the "next of kin" section AT YOUR BUHARI AGE. embarassed

You can live as companions without marriage, BUT YOU MUST HAVE A LIVING WILL AND TESTAMENT!!!

you are wrong what if one still choice to have a child, does it means one must signed the marriage registrar before having a child?

I have seen 60 years old getting married to his partner after they already lived together and have grown up kids.

There is nothing wrong in living together as boyfriend and girlfriend and I agree that for many couples things go wrong after marriage because people become too comfortable once the knot has been tied and have no motivation to please their significant other anymore like they used to since they take him or her for granted. And yes, you can have a very fulfilling life with or without marriage.

I have never thought of for better and for worse like this. For worse means to me that I will be there in sickness and in health, when you struggle financially or not, when you lose your job, when your parents need to be taken care of and when they pass away and in all other sorts of situations that life confronts us with.

I have never thought of for worse in terms of abuse or infidelity. Spouses are asked and required to honor and respect each other. If one of them decides to break these vows, why should for worse still apply?

many single hide their true self and wait patiently for the scam called marriage to be signed first before true color is out. definitely not me except ofcource I have my own interests 200% otherwise no deal

cc: lalasticlala, seun.

It has never happened to me, I am too smart to be deceived. wink


Apart from the reasons you have mentioned above for why people decide to marry, I will share more reasons with you, which are rather pragmatic in nature:

- tax benefits
- rights in case your husband / wife has an accident and is in coma and can't decide for him-/herself
- custody of the children
- family name
- inheritance laws

It all depends where you reside of course.

sad @Mindfulness thanks for your input. you really made a balanced response there. like as I have said most relationship lost it past flavour just after the knot is tied. which you analyzed there.

as for the better for worst part, it mostly on intolerance of partners. where divorce is seen as sin or sacrilege. one will wonder for a smart and educated person and even after attending numerous counseling still want a divorce then something is really wrong with it. or do you mean they didn't do their home work properly?

if that is it. then we often see marriage counselors and pastors who also find themselves in the court for a divorce ruling.

I don't know about most but surely many, not mine though! smiley

I don't see divorce as a sin. I see it as a reasonable or unreasonable decision depending on the circumstances.

I think that most counseling is crap. This is what I think. The success rate of marriage counsellors is very low.

I don't know what you mean by homework but I think that many marriages fail because people have all sorts of wrong expectations.

if that is it. then we often see marriage counselors and pastors who also find themselves in the court for a divorce ruling.

Like I said, too many marriage counsellors are not qualified to give proper advice.
