Marriage Is Overrated by Amya(f): 9:06pm On Oct 14, 2011 |
Okay, i've never been married before so what i say here is really not conclusive. I really think the whole marriage thingy is overrated. People get married because they have to, not because they want to. It's an obligation dictated by the society. If you want to get into society's good books, get married at the right time, have kids and probably be a responsible individual and you are applauded for living the perfect life. Marriage is not bliss. Marriage does not translate into happiness. Many people i know who got into it with this mentality are living unhappy married lives. Marriage is just an unnecessary bond between a man and woman till death throws them apart!(not that this applies any longer) but seriously? Methinks society created this union/bond in other to make the society more harmonious. Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you. Aside this, marriage is in no way beneficial to individuals themselves. And please don't tell the essence of marriage is offsprings. . . .that's total bull**** My opinion 1 Like |

Re: Marriage Is Overrated by slimyem: 10:06pm On Oct 14, 2011 |
Marriage is no obligation dictated by the society.it is an institution ORDAINED by GOD! And just so you know, a lot of people(like me) get married/want to get married because they want to share their beautiful life with someone who in turn want to share his/her not because the have to. Which kain mentality be this sef?SMH 1 Like |
Re: Marriage Is Overrated by Nobody: 10:09pm On Oct 14, 2011 |
[size=14pt]So according to our dear Amya, "society created this union/bond in other to make the society more harmonious. Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you." and then, in a space of 60 minutes, " i just think it's pointless.". . . Epic Colossal Discombobulation! Marriage has suffered!. . .

Amya:[size=14pt]So who is right? You or the society? And why should the society change what has been working for it, simply because some few individuals are kicking against it, and without offering a better way forward?. . .[/size] |

Amya:[size=14pt]Hey! Are you afraid of standing up to what you believe? You shouldnt back down when people want to get more insight about your opinion! Right? Now, how would you explain the many people that actually found happiness, after they got married?. . . You mind?[/size] |
Re: Marriage Is Overrated by emofine(f): 10:48pm On Oct 14, 2011 |
@ Amya, marriage may be considered conventional and it may be over emphasized but I don't think marriage is "overrated" . . .if anything I believe it's standing has depreciated somewhat and recently been eclipsed in favour of other alternatives . . . .moreover it's overly employed by naive individuals who marry at a whim hence such marriages generally have a shorter life span and higher occurrences . . . consequently failed ones are often cast in the spotlight. Marriage isn't valued as it once was (in some societies) that's why there's much admiration for couples who have endured till the end. . . there are people who "want" to be married there are "happy" marriages and there are individuals whom marriage has been "beneficial" to Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you. Aside this, marriage is in no way beneficial to individuals themselves. er kinda contradictory methinks |
