Marriage is still the best and legal way to go, getting babies through baba mama, getting sex by the corner or illegal ways is still the tickets to hell fire. Don't allow technology or modernization to deceive you pls. Marry your own and enjoy your marriage.marriage is still enjoyable.

Kobojunkie:
Abegi, make we hear word! Come here and see those very same Nigerians who complain to you raising their kids to equally disregard other people and parents. Their kids are the same kind of arseholes they claim they hate other kids for being.

2. Stop telling lies! The fact that the kids that were raised over the past 60 years are the same ones running that corrupt country into the ground today speaks volumes. Na dem are the politicians of today and many of them didn't even grow up in homes with television or fathers able to afford foreign newspapers. Your kids are not raised any better than the foreign kids are. This lie that they need to die!

3. Stop lying!

Kobojunkie:
The fact that marriage today is struggling means the measures and ideas implemented around marriage in the past have failed and new ideas are needed.

Acidosis:


My marriage is not losing relevance. Thank you.

WorldRichest:
Marriage is a scam nah. Those of us who are married and are not afraid of the truth knows this. Marriage is a bigger scam than Religion. Now the western world is doing away with the two frauds

When you lose 70% of your sight to Cataract by 62, you'd know what it means to be alone.

When you're sick and the doctors tender investigations for your family to go and do, drugs to go and get, you'd know Money can't buy you everything.

No matter what you see in marriages now, Money and all these plans can never replace a wife. She'll change your diaper, spoon feed you and tend to your wounds when that times comes. She'll grieve with you, rejoice with you, hold your hands on your dying bed.

Don't let ego blind you.

Biglittlelois:



I've come to realise that so many people on nairaland are products of dysfunctional upbringing or a single parent household especially the males, or they are not loved at home, that's why they preach the abolishment of marriage, to continue the moral degradation of the society.

EreluRoz:
Nonsense

Only damaged people see marriage that way. If your parents had that mindset you won't be in existence.

Trying so hard to discredit marriage while applauding unlawful cohabitation

Picklejar:
What really is marriage? Marriage is the "legal" joining of two people, but I go further to say that without the presence of offsprings, is marriage really a necessity?

With the influx of single mothers and deadbeat dads in our society, it's no surprise that emotionally damaged children are being mass-produced.

Removing one of either parent from the lives of children simply because it is comfortable, is a master plan to speedrun the destruction of society.

AuwalYusuf812:
Very correct. what else marriage bring those days if not heartbroken, las las DNA go still separate Una. Make ah continue my baby mama thing abeg

okunwaye:

reason while most men suffer illness at old age is because they spent all their youthfull age slaving to cater for their wife and children

TooResilient:
I couldn't agree less more. When I was growing up, having kids out of wedlock was an abomination. Any girl/lady in such a situation is terribly looked down on.

But as it seems today, people have undervalued the marriage institutions. Men just want to have kids without being bound to a particular woman.

Women are advised to just get a man to impregnate her so she can have children whether the man stays or not.

In the next few years, just watch. Humans will start living like animals, just f^ck anyone and have children, no sacred commitment

Taquin:
I wonder sometimes. As a lady, I don’t know if it’s just me but the thought of marriage doesn’t excite me. Is it weird

pocohantas:
To you...

Banbanna:
■ Seems you have a strong sense of independence and the thought of surrendering that to a certain extent to some man scares you.
And it also depends on your age, probably you're still young and thinks time is still on your side.
Or maybe why you're not so excited is because you're not so desperate or in a hurry to have kids of your own.
Which btw though, you could have outside wedlock but the dishonour that mostly comes with it might be a turn off for you

GBPUSD:
■ Must the husband die before the wife?

Kobojunkie:
In the marriage formulae, if the man does not die before the woman, it means the children would suffer a great deal more than they probably had to before. So, the man must die first.

In 1981, the divorce rate in the State of Plateau, Nigeria, was recorded to have been around 81% among newlyweds. in 2012, a report went out that the divorce rate in Northern Nigeria was among the highest in the world. Now, of course, these reports come from the North where divorce is respected and tracked. In much of Southern Nigeria where divorce is traditionally found, official divorce rates have notoriously been maintained at below 0.1%. This does not consider the rate of marriage abandonment, the acceptable form of divorce among southerners, and equally as high as at least 50%. What has the economic power to do with the high divorce rates recorded even in Plateau state back in the 1980s?
