How Necessary Is Marriage?

I gues your female

I plan to marry, but when I look around me i am very discouraged, yet we all scamper to the alter, the bible supports marriage alright but do we as humans do it the the Bible meant it? Why can't two people meet fall in love, get married and be faithful to each other, respecting matrimony and keeping it sacred? As soon as the wedding ends and the dancing and merryment ends it is another matter alltogether, it is sad! so dearie its not like i don't support marriage I just wish people had more respect for the insttution, men especially![color=#990000]

Marriage is a very IMPORTANT part of our society. I think that we have a tendency of looking at it as a fairy tale, and that all you have to do is fall in love, get married and live happily every after. I have been married once, when I was very young, and had NO idea realistically of the commitment and work it takes to make a marriage. It takes dedication, honesty and trust. We seem to not be able to do any of these things with the little things in our lives, let alone anything as important as marriage. I think society as a whole must start living life with those attributes in EVERYTHING we do, and if we can be dependable, trustworthy, dedicated, and honest with our jobs, our family, our everyday life, then they will spill  over into the marriage aspect of our life as well when we meet the right person.

Marriage is as necessary to you as you deem it!

Marriage concept is like houseflies by the window, the ones inside wants to get out, the ones outside wants to come in. but more importantly preprare for the worst and hope for the best weneva u think of getting married. i hope this keeps u at bay a little

Marriage is necessary for so many reasons.

1. Biblical or even according to the Quaran if you are a a great one.

2. Marriage is the foundation of which  a family is built upon, family is the foundation of which community and ultimately a nation is built upon.


The more I think about God and the bible, the more I think he is just a perfect God. He knew without marriage and all the laws that goes with it , there will be a lot of heart breakers and everybody will be chasing others wife/husband and we will become like a lesser animals that sleep around-like dogs, he goat etc.

Institution of marriage has been brought so low that a lot people have lost faith in it, thank God the majority still do believe in it.

If your find your bone of bone, flesh of flesh you will surely be on top of the world. with marriage, the 'DNA' of both husband and wife must match, and if they do, the two will become one like friends, brother and sister and father and mother.

There is man of God called Dr. Sola Fola-Alade and his wife, they are both pastors. They said that if you are going to drive, you will go to driving school, if you want to become a doctor you will go to medical schl for 7 years and to become a lawyer you will spend the next 5 years at both university and law school.

Marriage should also have a school that you learn the practical and the spiritual aspect, most people only spend a very short time to go for 'counselling' and this only happens most when there is a crises.

In my conclusion marriage is not only necessary, essential but should be the most important in life, unfortunately one of the party usually abuses it when they knew the other would do anything to make the marriage to work.

Modern day has not make marriage to stand up well as some people even now celebrate separation and divorce epecially in the west.

May God help us to make the right decision with prayers and find our own life partner.

My sister i am don't intend to marry either, its just like caging yourself in the name of love.
Its not by force.

The thing is when you say u don't want to marry people say maybe you want to be a reverend father or holy sister, thts shit more cage-in.

Some of us just are better off alone and free like me and u.

Are you telling me that a person should kill her joy in the name of christianity and what the bible says.

An 8-yr old girl recently asked me, at a Bible Study roundtable discussion, why I didn't pray for a husband. I was at a loss for words - how do you tell a child that marriage is not necessarily the raison d'etreof every female?

Don't get me wrong, I am not against marriage. I guess it is as necessary as you make it out to be. I place more emphasis on finding the right one. If it's not quite right, any question of marriage is null and void.

Especially when you don't have to hear that biological clock ticking anymore.

the institution is NOT nessecery to have a happy relationship

Na wah, wich kine ajuju be this biko?? Just ask your parents this question and see/hear their response. Na slap them go use correct your head.

My dear, I use to ask this same question back in the days but not anymore. It is very important o! shikina.

Marriage is just like a school as in institution where you get admission into and learn, it s you to determine the department you want and once you made mistake you go back to the square one.
Before jumping into marriage examine your self first and ask your self that did i really need it now or i should hold on, and you must be able to learn from others mistake.

be fruitful and multiply, Biblical injunction, and no fornication/adultery, from ten commandments, so from inference,marriage is neccesary.

The institution of marriage was deemed necessary by the Almighty God whom  I hope no one would say made a mistake. For the fact that so many marriages are failing, we need to question the moral altitude of our generation, where good behaviour and decent living is for only those we call "Holy Holy".
Our great grand parents held life with high regard hence their respect for the institution but our generation, where stuffs are packed into our heads by technology and the hype for liberation and freedom, marriage is seen as nothing. If its nothing, then what kind of kids do u expect to get from such nothingness?
Nobody is patient anymore with anybody. If u don't like what i do, GO AWAY! No one understands what it takes to love and what commitment means anymore. If u truly love someone, why are u so afraid to spend the rest of yourself with that one?

Marriage is divine as most christian know, ordained by God.
But lately, this divine institution is being taken for granted,which
makes me develop a cold feet for marriage myself.
Most people especially the female folks go in the marriage because the
society(Nigerian to be precise) frowns at ladies who have outgrown
marriageable age and still single or those who decide not to marry after all.
It would take a long time before the Nigerian society in general accepts females who prefer to
be single than get married, with the rate of divorce now on the high side i don't blame ladies
trying to stay away from this once loved institution.
