donguutti: MARRIAGE - A Place Where unhappy people Go, to either find happiness or make others Unhappy

handelex: Marriage is like a three-speed gearbox: affection,
friendship, love.

Does this suggest that it is motor-cycle or okada?

A union where the man loses his right and the woman gains every thing. Sound dumb but that is it IMO

Marriage is that feeling of suffocation or drowning, except there is always a SCUBA attached to help you breath and stay alive in the water or to resurface.

In the late 60s through the 70s and earlier part of the 80s, marriage was seen as what a man and a woman go into for the rest of their lives; it was very odd to hear of separation and divorce.
. I cannot recall gay being associated with homosexuality as a synonym.

abeg go and sit down.
Have you ever heard of something called POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE? CHILD MARRIAGE? ARRANGED MARRIAGE? ABUSIVE MARRIAGE ETC

see as he is pretending as if marriage has always been the same happy perfect cookie-cutter christian activity between one man and one woman. 1980s ko, 2050 ni. Did Fela and his harem of 30 wives exist before 1980? abi you want to pretend as if you did not know that happened in the 90s.
Marriage has existed even before christianity existed. read your bible well.

Marriage will continue to exist for a long time in various forms. Look at him preteding as if he has never heard of a separated couple before. Just because they don't call themselves divorced doesn't mean they did not separate and find new wives/husbands even if they move to a different state to do it. The only difference is that men used to do it (a man will leave his wife and go and find another wife) but now, women can do it too. women are free to re-marry as well.

Just as we now have women pastors and preachers etc. I see you mention catholic church. oh I forgot, catholic church still bans women from preaching. Catholic church also ban people from using condoms.

Last time I checked, Mary the mother of Jesus was a young girl. that makes her marriage to Joseph qualify as CHILD MARRIAGE.
It will be considered a crime today in 2013 in many parts of the world (except maybe middle east)!!

Times change. live with it!!
abi we should also still be killing twins?


each person should define marriage for himself/herself jare.

.

Marriage is where women, legally hustle men into slavery ; moan in pleasure at night and cry and complain by day, while the man bears his pain grudginly without complaint.

You wish!

Sijo01: Marriage is the greatest form of love, and it is a sacred bond only two people can share. It means tolerance, perseverance, respect, understanding, sacrifices etc.

True That!

hmmm for your mind.

Marriage means choosing to watch only one channel (whether boring or intresting),even if u have muliti choice otherwise u hv cheated.

Marriage is the union of a man and woman to fulfill their dreams, ambitions and destiny together. For a marriage to succeed, the couple must have goals/vision,work towards them and fulfill together.

# When I say successful, I am not referring to the length or the wealth that exchange hands; I am talking of one they fulfilled the purpose they came together. They multiplied in all aspects and their home brings glory to God

Sorry, I do not have the Nigerian dictionary/Bible

For me, marriage is true companionship.... Being there , for the high and the low times and yea , least I forget also expanding the family ...

Marriage- Hmm Its jus a Legal/religious way to Procreate cos otherwise, I don't see why two ppl would be stuck 2geda for years.... The thought of it scares d shit out of me....

similarly, Marriage is like a long trip in a tiny rowboat: if one
passenger starts to rock the boat, the other has to
steady it; otherwise they’ll go to bottom together.

if that's how you understand it.

A Quicker way to Die!

Marriage is a journey, not a destination. Sometimes bumpy, sometimes smooth. Sometimes pleasurable and sometimes downright aggravating!
Love is a tiny fraction in the composition because sometimes you fall out of love, rally and fall in love again with the same person.

It is a commitment. A test of maturity.
Btw, I'm married and even though it's not "lived happily ever after", I am so glad to be married

Huh
On what basis did you form this opinion of yours? Because it is the complete opposite

when i hear d word 'marriage' am scared to death,maybe my parents are divorced,maybe not......
Scared of being commited,though am faithful in relationship....but cant endure a marriage if thingz turnz sour.....Lord help me,hear my supplicationz....
Its a big sin and mistake if anyone fail maritally
what scares me most is that u are already in d game b4 u knw it @times there is no going back coz @ first u think u made d perfect choice,but as times goes on,u start seeing thingz wrong,many broken homes today that many top men of God even fail in this dreaded institution
maybe one of d reasonz SEUN havnt married

Marriage scares the hell out of me
The mere thought of being stuck to someone for the rest of my life and I hate divorce!

God help me

It means noting to me

Marriage is an eternal covenant between two imperfect people to love one another unconditionally.
It is loving the imperfect person perfectly.

Legal sex + a spacious Private kitchen.

Marriage organises the free spending bachelor in finance and other aspects of life.

Marriage to me is not what many of you think of.It is an eternal union to complete me.What i mean is d@,i will not marry for marrying's sake rather i will go for my other half.Don't marry because of love,beauty,wealth but compatibility,understanding,focus.Why do i even marry someone i can't converse with for 3hrs non-stop as the case maybe?otherwise = divorce!!!

do you know that in spanish, the word "wife" and "handcuffs" have the same spelling, pronounciation and meaning.

the only difference is in the context of usage

from sociological point of view its a social union btween two people. presently marriage is just a mear lisence to sex

MARRIAGE MEANS HEAVEN ON EARTH WHEN U ARE WITH THE GOD ORDAINED PARTNER.

Roland17: A situation when you finally realize and accept that "LOVE IS NOT EVERYTHING"

sensibly described !!

So what are the other things pls ?
