“The happiest day in a girl’s life is her wedding day,” they said, without considering that we all want different things. Different people, different aspirations. This message has sunk into our psyches and this inadvertently caused many of us to feel matrimony and motherhood are the determinants of femininity. We feel they define our worth.

Most messages we’ve heard from the cradle prepares us for matrimony: “Is this how you’ll behave when you get married?”

“You are opinionated. Who will marry you?”

“You know too much. No man wants that.”

“You’re too tall… let’s hope you’ll find a tall man.”

One of the functions of social institutions is to create social uniformity to avoid conflict. It doesn’t care if we are different people.

In the real sense, not all of us were fashioned for matrimony for a couple of reasons.http://www.thefemmemedia.com/editorial/conventional-marriage-not-meant-everyone/

If marriage were that important, Jesus would have gotten married right? I mean, he allowed himself to be baptised because it was important.
In Matthew 19: 11-12, he gave reasons why matrimony was not meant for everyone. Even Apostle Paul didn’t get married. See? Not so important.

This brings about the question: “Why does the society force people, especially women, into matrimony?” Why does it single-shame people?”

Who is society? Society is simply you and I being judgmental! We need a consensus. It’s time we stopped single-shaming people.

Most people don’t care about your MARRIED LIFE. They simply want Owambe aso-ebi and party jollof. “When are we going to tie gele?” they inquire.

Some people have gotten into this institution and in the process, they lost themselves. Some never achieved their dreams.

The most bitter people are the ones that feel cheated out of their dreams. Everyone wants to achieve the best expressions of themselves.

Marriage doesn’t guarantee companionship. These two are different notions.

Mathew 19:11-12...

Who did Paul get married to?

Who did Jesus marry?

It's not important.
