oh

Since we are not Nun or a Monk unless you are thinking about it, I think Marriage is compulsory.

Without marriage, there can't be sex!!! (The Holy Bible illustration if you believe in it).

If you don't ever want to get married, that means don't think of having sex as it is ONLY allowed during marriage.(The Holy Bible illustration if you believe in it).

THumbs up for Motee

Thanks dear. Am behind you 'cause you are always the first.

marriage, marriage, marriage..
marriage is actually the coming together of a man and woman to become one.
now to become one is to be joined together.
which i believe is sex(everyone is entitled to their own opinion)
so when you have sex with a person you are joint with the person(your souls)
so you are married. believe it or not.
thats why sex was created for a man and his woman after they have been joined...
so if you can stay without sex, then don't get married but its better to be married than to be burning with desires...........
so soothe yourself...

marriage is never compulsory. it is a choice.

Oh yeah

Nope...just for our own good!!

well itz not compulsory to get married
but itz neccessary

Not COMPULSORY,depends on the individual.

Marriage is not compulsory it all depends on what you want,especiall on whta God wants.
Is not as if God said u must marry,No far from it but he said that u should get married if u know u cannot overcome the desire to have sex.

So is better you marry than for you to be sinning getting your desire outside(Fornication)
Once you are married you have the certificate to do whateva it is u want with ur man.

Right,Gina

ok

To me... No

To my folk... yes..

Views differ my friends.. I for one do not see it as compulsory but a necessity. It is necessary for us to marry and corpulate and multiply but it not not compulsory cos everything we do in marraige, we can also do if not married.

whiteshark you are serious.

nope--- just no

Its not Compulsory getting married,its a choice.But in this society of ours people see you as been mad or out of your senses if you say you dont want to get married.For me i will love to get married.not just married i want to be HAPPILY MARRIED.

I may not get married but I'm gonna get those kids I want.

nope it is not.

Well from the way ladies and men as well behave on this forum regarding marriage, one would have thought that it is by force you must get married. I made the conscious decision not to get married, not out of selfish or a previous mishap as many attributed, but due to my own personal choice.

I honestly believe that I have a purpose to fulfil on earth, and making a lifelong committment would only deter and hamper such causes. I do plan on "having" a kid or two later on though, but marriage is one such thing that is not under my radar,

To those happily and those 'wishing to be" happy couples. Kudus!!!

Is marriage compulsory?

NO,

Why are we so quick to blame society for hastening us into wedlock?why cant we just accept the fact that marriiage is a need, a craving we have.Why are we too shy to admit that we want to procreate despite what society says? is it not only wise that since women who have babies before age 30 are at lower risks of complications we want to belong in that bracket for OUR health sake?.(not society)Cant we just admit that we want to be married because we have so much love in us just wasting and there is room to share that love with that special someone? True there are pressures sometimes but really who wants to be alone. I am yet to find one.

My opinion pls

Apparently with the increasing rates of divorce world wide--you know that it is not compulsory.  Quick answer--No! Used to be called "a sacred institution. But now called a "hit or miss" or "trial by error"!

not at all

My opinion please

Seconded-Can’t make noses at marriage while deep down i envy what my married neighbours got going for them. But of course, with the right person@the right moment.
