Reasons Why Years Of Courtship Never Lead To Marriage? by acidtalk: 12:10pm On Sep 10, 2012
When it comes to hearing people ho dated for several years (some up to 10years) with both the male and female's family members as well as friends all hoping and looking forward for the couples to tie the knot only for them to come up with tales of "incompatibility" issues and stories.

Stories of ladies (and sometimes guys) committing suicide due to breakup of relationship that lasted many several years only got ended when marriage talks where in progress.

The question is, why do so many years of courtship end up with excuses of incompatibility issues just before marriage.

If this people could date for years at what point did they decide they can't marry based on compatibility issues.

Normally most people get bored being with the same person for too long , even inn marriage after like 2 years . The only reason marriage stand is because of societal influence and the stigma of divorce in Nigeria especially so called christians or the kids, the parties just have to stay in. However for an uncommitted relationship , people can just walk away without any string attached.

But I'm still confuse on why it is only the woman labeled as ' used ' . After the man took care of her all those years

I think 'responsible and caring men' are more used than women cry out to be used.

True, the societing frowns at divorce and divorce cases but so many people are dying gradually in the marriages because they are miserable in them.

I have seen a man who always celebrate with his friends whenever he is sent out on official assignment of of the country or state. He pulls strings in his office to be sent on long official duties outside his state so he can avoid his wife because in his words "he is just stuck in such a terrible union".

A million years of courtship is still different than Marriage. There's no 'lock' that binds a courtship like wedlock.

If you KNOW it wont work and have grown enough balls to call it quit... better late than never.

Because it is wrong to court someone for years without marrying that person. Six months courtship
should be the maximum, of getting to know one's partner.

and sadly in Nigeria, a serious minded person is the one that's so good at keepin up a facade in order to get married at all cost since most wait till their 'desperation' time before forcing the development of a 'serious mind'. I can't date for less than 2yrs! If we can't tolerate each other in two yrs, there's no point in tryin to try for a life time

So you are insinuating that the youths in Nigeria are not too keen on the idea of marriage?
When i mentioned a 'serious minded' person, i meant..
1. a person who is God fearing
2. ready for a commitment
3. ready to make sacrifices to get the best out of the courtship.

NOT

A desperado who wants to get married at all cost, due to aging or pressure from family,
or a gold-digger who wants to reap where he/she did not sow.

Six months shd b maximum?? Are u kidding me?? Do u think ppl can‘t pretend for six months to get what they want?? For me,it‘s a minimum of 1.5yr to know each other well & if things don‘t work,u break up..cest finis.

Irreconcilable differences is it.

Many try patching up a partner's defective behavioural pattern with a tag of "no one is perfect" only to realise that its beyond them, if the relationship tarries into years.

Those that aint "lucky" end up being unfulfilled and unhappy married souls.
