Marriage is not for everyone so as not everybody can own a dog and actually take good care of it. Know Thyself, if sex is your problem get a gf/bf, if an offspring is your desire get a babyMama/daddy. Yolo, don't waste your life licking as$. 86 Likes 9 Shares |

ChiomaMee: Marriage is not a must. Matthew 19:10-12 NKJV .......His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry." [11] But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: [12] For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it." ...kindly read from verse one for better understanding. You haven't defiled God's law : John 3:8 NKJV The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Below is the NEW & ONLY commandment: John 13:34 NKJV A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. -Peace. 22 Likes 5 Shares |

ChiomaMee:1. Marriage is not a purpose but a choice. So, also is childbearing hence the reason why you are not born attached to your partner from birth and childbearing only can take place if choice is made. 2. Absolutely not! God created some Eunuchs from birth, made others Eunuchs in this life and allowed... so God does not care if you choose to be married or not. He basically washed His hands off marriage back in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24 meaning nothing you do or achieve in marriage is of any worth or value as far as God's Holiness and Righteousness is concerned. 7 Likes |

It depends on individual preferences. For some it's Companionship: Not everyone wants to remain single forever. At some point in your life, you'll need a companion you'll want to share your life with. For others it's for Financial Benefits As crazy as this sounds, some people try to upgrade their financial status through marriage. Not everyone wants to remain poor forever most especially when they're aware that marriage can cure their poverty state as well as the poverty in their entire family lineage. For some it's for procreation. Having your kids grow with both parents present is something everyone wants. Not everyone buys the idea of baby Mamas. Having your wife or husband stand by you whilst supporting the kids emotionally, financially, religiously...etc, is the dream of most people. For some it's for Safe Sex Nigeria is a religious country and we were brought up to believe that sex outside marriage is fornication. So some people get married so they can have sex with their partners without having to sin against God through fornication. And for the records, God doesn't care if you marry or not. After all Jesus didn't marry. He's only concern is that you live a life free of sin. A life that would glorify him. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Just a stupid institution to kill a man with billing after which the kids n wife will abandon the foolish man once he is old. We need home of the aged in Nigeria ASAP for people who wants to think outside the box. It is a poverty alleviation programme for most jobless and hungry ladies, that is why they are desperate for it. 23 Likes |

ChiomaMee: Marriage has nothing to do with any god. We had marriage in Africa before we interacted with our colonisers. Marriage is a man's invention. It was created to restore order in society when men were fighting themselves over women. When a woman is married, you know she's taken. That's why the wedding was usually done at the village square. Today marriage has become a poverty elevation scheme and an easy way of acquiring wealth to both men and women. Marriage is supposed to be the name of the purest, truest and highest level of friendship between a man and a woman. 12 Likes |

Marriage was instituted by God: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2v24. It's for Procreation, companionship. Care and support. 3 Likes |
