If buying a car is an achievement, then marriage is also an achievement, and it will also follow that divorce is also an achievement. undecided

Marriage is only an achievement to SIMPs, I can't imagine kneeling to prop to a lady, it's like you're begging her to marry you.
Marriage only favors ladies

Marriage is an achievement. It's a stage of attaining higher responsibility, living with the opposite sex and raising kids.

Higher responsibility? So a single woman running a business or even an orphanage can't be said to have that which is greater than what you describe? undecided

Did she put a gun to your head before you decided to do this to yourself? You chose to enroll in a hypogamous union of your own, so why attempt to blame her for your decision? undecided

According to you, marriage is a stage in a woman's life where she attains what you claim is higher responsibility insinuating this stage of higher responsibility cannot be surpassed by single women. undecided

Need I mention the female folks those ones are worse.. their one reason for being born on this earth is to get married, if you're not married you'd better be an alien because that's the only reason they'll understand why you've refused to enter husband house..
Most would die in the same husband house, from abuse they'll never leave why?
Because It's an achievement them.

Marriage is like a Project, because you are Trying
to Build Sth (A Family)
So It is an ACHIEVEMENT.

If u rent a Shop, it's an Achievement.
If u rent a 3 Bed room, it's an Achievement.

Even some will say Staying Abroad in 3days and coming Back is an Achievement, Let alone Marriage! cheesy

No it doesn't. The men who embark on these irrational unions — hypogamy— may do so believing it an achievement for themselves. undecided

1. I am afraid what you describe has to do with upbringing as well as cultural norms defined for women, particularly in third-world nations like Nigeria. undecided

2. Again, it all has to do with mental conditioning brought about by upbringing and society. No sane individual would sit back and endure abuse but because many of these women have been raised to believe their value as entities in society lies in their acceptance of such evils, they sit back believing there is glory to be had in it. undecided

We’ve been through the circle
Marriage is responsibility, an achievement can’t be something that’ll likely send you to your grave or even great pain, suffering and depression

Cos a single woman focus on herself. A married woman focus on herself, husband and probably kids.
Single woman, single thoughts. A married woman, multiple thoughts.

Well, that you don't consider it an achievement does not mean those dead men didn't. Understand that power and control in marriage happen to be major attainments for many men who enters into hypogamous unions, to begin with. undecided

1. A single woman running an orphanage from her home or as a business is focused solely on herself? undecided
2. In your mind, a single woman who runs a business and has several employees is focused only on her well-being? undecided

You see why I said you dey overwork your thoughts.
See it like this
* An orphanage is a responsibility. If a single woman runs it, she has herself and the orphanage yo cater for.
* If a married woman runs it, she has herself, her husband and the orphanage to cater for.
* If a married woman with kids run an orphanage, she has herself, husband, kids and the orphanage to cater for.
From the 3 scenarios, tell me who had more responsibly?

So, you think a single woman who runs a business providing for the children her business is built around while taking care of her employees — she carries 100% of the responsibilities all by herself —, has fewer responsibilities than a married woman who probably does not carry 100% of the load— assuming the man is not an invalid— as far as caring for her family by herself? undecided
