Ms. Potato:

Marriage cannot be define as a MUST HAVE neither could it be define as a NICE TO HAVE> If people say that it is a must have or it is nice to have, Im sure they are living in denial.

Nobody should be forced to get married when they are not ready to or they simply dont want to. Marriage is never a nice to have cause marriage has alot of complications and alsot of life challenges such as u already have wasted alot of money for the wedding,t han u have countless fights and cries with your partners, than you have your kids whom wont stop giving you hell. . . But for those whom are ready for marriage, all those problems would be actually worth it and it wont be worth it to those whom are not into marriage.

As for me personally, I take life as it comes and Im neutral about marriage. If its faited for me to get married than I shall otherwise why bother, life goes on and cherish it to the fullest.

Marriage is not a TREAT or HOLIDAY!

Now that's what i'm talking about. That's a REAL relationship based on REAL LOVE,REAL TRUST AND REAL SECURITY and not that fake crap that enslaves some poor guy to some woman who blows hot one minute and blows cold the next minute and she can do whatever she likes coz the guy was dumb enough to sign a legal contract (marriage certificate) in the presence of witnesses (wedding invitees) who can testify in the court of law. He has to wear a ring (which is the greek symbol for eternal bondage) as a sign of his "undying love" and "commitment" to the "marriage". Utterly sad and pathetic! ! !

Dude, you still think it's a 'Man's world' right?

As more and more black girls in our network stay single and the average age of marriage continues to rise, it makes you wonder if marriage is even important

@poster pls take note of the correction above cos we guys ain't bothered about this your subject/question, we get married anytime we want, even at 90. and I hope this is not a consolation question of a single/ aging lady who needs encouragement cos she's about giving up searching?

What is it with Black Women in America and marriage? Abeg Marriage is not by force jare. Live and let live I say.

well as for me,d only reason why i think i want to get married is to stop fornication and as well av a companion/partner whom i can share my life with and grow 2geda cos come to think of it,all d pple kipin u company 2day will all leave u to get a life for themselves and u mite jst end up a lonely old woman/man,but for me d ist reason is mor imp cos as much as i like intimacy. I seriously hate fornicatng cos of guilty conscience!

I'm a woman and I don't want to get married nor have kids EVER !

Is Marriage A Must-have Or Is It Simply A Nice-to-have?

How come its only ladies that are more concerned or emotional about this question?

All forms of gambling are frowned on by most religions. Except of course, MARRIAGE.

Because ladies are the ones being married.

Because ladies are the ones being married.

No! its because they are the only human species that age out of marriage.
