obadiah777: its a prison sentence

Its not a prison, u either choose to stay or leave. Please change ur ideology , its not a prison, it a commitment made for life. It is wise to Pray n ask God for direction.

To some it is an achievement, to others its just a phase in life. grin grin grin grin grin grin

Marriage on its own isn't an achievement but it could be an achievement in a society where it is deemed to be so e.g Nigeria but that is crap. U can only attribute a certain achievement to marriage if such was what you would never have achieved if u were never married to your spouse. But to single out marriage alone as an achievement is crass nonsense when u do not have to pass an exam or cross any breathe taking hurdle for u to get married. Just anyone can get married.

Marriage is an achievement. When you have money and you are lonely, then you will know marriage to be an achievement. A happy marriage is the greatest achievement in life.

Moreover, this question is coming from someone who is buying time for his/her inability to have met a benchmark of success which he/she considers a must before marriage. Its easy to see your situation.

God himself instituted marriage in the garden of Eden when he saw the harrowing loneliness that Adam was passing through. So who are you to question God's institution

The quality of humanbeings we have today are determined by the quality of their parents' marriages.
Investigate.

Well, it guarantees you seeex anytime you want it (appart from the time when she is taking her leakage periods of the month of course). I think having not to worry about when will I get laid next is one of the biggest achievement a man can have.
Im not sure if it feels the same for ladies
Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Nobody: 11:58am On Oct 12, 2012
People who say Marriage is an achievement do not know the meaning of achievement. Anyone can get married so marriage is never and will never be an achievement.

It is unfortunate that as soon as ppl draw religious perspective to an issue, they end up more confused rather than better comprehend the situation. If God as an entity instituted marriage as u have understood, is it not awkward that u then prefer to view marriage as an achievement rather than a religious obligation or spiritual obligation as it should be? Obligation and achievement is not the same thing is it?.

And then u said its an achievement when u have money!!! What is money before God? God would never have instituted marriage only to be enjoyed by the rich when we are all equal before him, ur understanding of God as an entity is grossly inconsistent.

If you believe that, then you can believe anything. Do you know the meaning of achievement ? Can you set 'Marriage' as your goal in life ? Marriage is never an achievement. Just as divorce is not an achievement. Even beggars are married, even cripples.

Ol boy, to carry human being like you put for house, change her name to your own, she begin dey produce juniors for you, you sef become manager of people especially that special breed called 'woman'. If you do all of these and keep maintaining them, then achievement can never be better defined. You can also achieve in other spheres of life, education, business, etc.

Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Nobody: 12:17pm On Oct 12, 2012
Most people who believe that Marriage is an achievement are losers who find what to grasps on in their illusion and emptiness. Marriage is a natural union that anyone, yes anyone will and can attain. IT IS NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT AND WILL NEVER BE! Cos its not a life's goal, its not ambition. Can anyone say, my destiny in life is to get married ? Yes, Only an I-D-I-O-T!

I think being able to fufil your reason of marrying and its obligations should be seen as an achievement.

Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Freiburger(m): 12:26pm On Oct 12, 2012
It is one thing to get married and a complete different thing when it comes to meeting up with its obligations. I think if you have it all in life and the Mrs is still missing, people will start smelling a dead rat around you.

Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by maxygirl(f): 12:27pm On Oct 12, 2012
I was just discussing this issue with a colleague this morning- i entered a married couple's vehicle yesterday and they started devotion- next thing they are giving example of 2 single ladies with one believing God for a husband and getting married; the other one on the other hand, not having enough faith so she remains unmarried.
I asked myself if i was not in that vehicle, would that example have come into play. Does being married make you happier? I have a lot of married couples as friends and from what i can see, marriage is not as rosy as people pretend it to be. So what is the hullabaloo about marriage?

Yes, marriage is an achievement. As you are not married and have achieved nothing, you are a double failure.

That was harsh o. But how are you sure he hasn't achieved anything? + I don't think marriage is important talkless of being an achievement.

Yeah, if it's a good model for younger generations.
Many people have failed in marriage, so it's from this view too.

Emmaville:
my dear, life is a personal fin. there is no yardstick for marriage age or anitin. inshort there are no parameters for achievements, marriage, success, money, or being made. its al a personal fin. wat eva u call achievement is a personal fin. so life is totally subjective, depending on your frame of reference. so its an achievement for some. while d criteria u re trying to put b4 it, is immaterial. moreover, wat is d tin dey re suposed to achieve dat u re stressing abt? wat abt dose dat hav achieved dis ur yardstick dat re nt yet married? wat do u hav to say abt dem? for instance 2_face is not married, does dat mean dat he has nt achieved? #thumbsup
tuface is married to annie macaulauy,stop looking for trouble
