Its a personal thing but i get the feeling that the poster is looking for a reason to justify his status as an old bachelor especially in mix of friends and colleague who flaunt their marriage at him. If u no wan marry na u sabi, but dont make mockery of a sacred institution as marriage,abeg |

Marriage is a fulfillment of one's supposed obligation to society. It is over rated, and some of the most successful women in the world are not married, but they are achievers, Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, Genevieve Nnaji, and if Whitney hadn't ruined her exemplary life by marrying that d0pe head, she would have been one of them. I feel that having kids is more of an achievement. Women who get married but have no kids, are considered failures, same as men to an extent, once you have good kids that are a pride to society, no one really cares bout your marital status. 2 Likes |

Nosenomo: what could be an achievement as marriage,anyone that reach the age of marriage and is not married is been regarded as irresponsible. This is the most efulefu comment I have ever read on NL. So people who are not married but achieved educational qualifications,philanthropist,employers of labour and doing very well in their fields are irresponsible? some people just reason from their armpits! Someone can be married and be highly irresponsible! Haven't u seen married men and women bring unbearable diseases home? Haven't u seen hight of insubordination and disrespect around married people? Marriage isn't everything. Improve urself first before hidding under marriage. It's so appalling when people make ur kind of comments. Get ur ears outta religious and cultural believes. Be a little abstract in ur thinking! 1 Like |

I don't consider marriage to be a tangible achievement, maybe I'm biased because I'm not married. |

MRbrownJAY: ^^^^ NONSENSE!!!i knw your type, u end up supporting gay marriage, lesbianism, beastiality, marriage to an animal, sexism, feminism, terrorism, sciencetology and all other immoral things one reasonable can't think of! I'm not yet married, but i knw there's nothing better than having a loving wife, being surrounded by beautiful children, living simple and smiling. In the end, one of the best thing is to get old and get smiles and pecks from your old children, hugs from grandchildren and care from a loving wife. Any other things u do that one person frowns at is enough to let u knw is bad. U all jes in the fuckin name of civilization indulge and enjoy immoralities. Go figure! 1 Like |

@op: do u know that some ppl lose contracts because of marital status? Some company are comfortable giving contracts to responsible bidders rather than those without responsibilies. A friend of mine once told me he was asked if he was married in the course of bidding for a contract.he bellieves,though not sure,lost the contract because was was single. The op must be single.you cant understand the achievement behind getting married until u are married. My conclusion,marriage is an achievement. |

DailyNews: @topic, marriage is fulfillment and never an achievement plzif i may ask,what is the meaning of achievement? Achievement simply means realising your dream or goal. |
| Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by controlseven: 1:46pm On Oct 12, 2012 |
Ur question is more of a puzzle because its difficult to place what actually defines an achievement in marriage...Status symbol? Happiness? Wealth? Children?...the list is endless. One should be more concerned with fulfilments in marriage which ofcourse are personal goals. But hey! Marriage is blissful if u find the right patner. 1 Like |

For me, marriage is an achievement for women most especially. I may decide nt to marry and no one would ever see it as if I have never achieved anything in lyf. But for d ladies,marriage is a compulsory task ahead of every woman's life. |

Billyonaire: Can you set 'Marriage' as your goal in life ?Some people does that for reasons best known to them, and i don't think you are in a position to judge them. |
| Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by damas11111(m): 1:58pm On Oct 12, 2012 |
It actually depends on what it means to you. It's a personal thing. If you desire it and think you will be more fulfilled with having children and a loving wife around you, then it is an achievement when you are able to achieve that desire. |

there is time for everything on the surface of the earth, when you married as at the right time meaning after necessary education you know little education is even dangerous to marital life. not by sleeping with girls and impregnating them. but proper weding then you have achieve you may not have millions but atleast you wont beg buut if you did make mistake and jump the gun you are just a dreamer you have not achieved shogbo? |

Not necessary. How can it be an achievement? Any tom, dick and harry can get married these days. You can even get your friends and family members to foot the wedding bill and take care of your kids. Real achievement is not just getting married but also, taking good care of your family. |

If you are happily married then you will know that marriage is an achievement. If you have also tried to be happily married but failed you will know that marriage is an achievement. By the way the question posted by the OP is very funny. Is the world getting more ignorant or what? |
| Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Nobody: 3:35pm On Oct 12, 2012 |
Marriage is not an achievement, being happy, fulfiled and building ones esteem everyday and being with people who help you achieve your goals is an achievement. It is sickening the way people mostly people themselves who are in unhappy marriages try to shove marriage down the throat of others, to degrade unmarried people so they can feel better about their own sad lives. I see so many people in very sad marriages whose favorite pastime is harassing single friends and stylisly insulting them, meanwhile they are stuck, unhappy and are unable to achieve other goals because all their energy, time and resources are used in patching a bad marriage, their only source of joy is in seeing singles who they consider as worse off. I know what it means to be happily married and so I will never advice anyone to rush into marriage or make them think they must be married, I prefer people find themselves and find someone who deserves a share in their lives than wait for someone to "complete" them. 1 Like |

boyofgodbybirth: Successful marriage doesnt necessarily mean a perfect marriage(I dont think their is a perfect marriage,I have not seen one,their will definately be low points). But a succesful marriage will entail the following Both spouses are honest with each other and have a good relationship and communication between them Both spouses live up to their marital vows,and admit to be wrong and make necessary changes when they do break some of it. Either of them compromise when necessary They both work as a team and weather through the challenges of life together It all boils down to this:We all change over time,if both couples can say that they still love each other through all of life challenges, IMO, that is a good/successful marriage. I hope I have answered your question. 1 Like |

Marriage is a necessary rite of passage. It develops character. To see it as an achievement in itself may not be right. It isn't an end but a means to an end. Marriage may have sorrows but there are no pleasures in being single. Ever laughed or cried alone? |

Olhar: Well, it depends.....it's an achievement but at the same time.....even if you haven't achieved anything before marriage, most marriages bring in enough achievements for the couples......and open many opportunities I agree with you 1000%, if there's anything like that! Lolz In less than 7 months of marriage, I got a job after waiting for about one and a half year. My husband also got a new job he didn't even apply for. And its was way better than the one he left. He who finds a wife has found a good thing and obtained favour from the Lord. But I must say that I also prayed to God for several months pre and post wedding, and am glad he answered me. |
