Is Marriage A Measure Of Success In Life? by korel9: 8:07am On Sep 29, 2014 |
I have often heard and fallen a victim of this circumstance where after one has been asked and congratulated on every aspect of his life, the question is popped "Are You Married?" If you say "No" they scream "What are you waiting for again?" This often gets to me and leaves me wondering "Is marriage a measure of success in life?" 2 Likes 1 Share |

Marriage is a holy institution within society. Through it we connect and inter-act with society and find meaning, position and purpose of our lives. Thus, the society uses it as a yardstick to measure how succesful a man is. 5 Likes |

As a goal it is laudable - and if done well a worthwhile achievement and highly commendable.. It has great significance and meaning, and, and is deeply enriching to the couple their families, any offspring and wider society. A good marriage is a success in it's own right and overall can only enhance and deepen success in other areas of life. AfricanApple: normally no Any reasons as to why not? Or can anyone tellus how a good marriage detracts from lifes joy or indeed hinders success in other areras of life? TV 2 Likes |

It has great significance and meaning, and, and is deeply enriching to the couple their families, any offspring and wider society.though everyone has their opinion and thinks differently but to me it is normally no because you can be single, successful and happy. there are lots of people who are married, poor, childless, no peace in the house etc, how successful can u classify them to be 6 Likes 1 Share |

So you are asking if a being married makes you successful in life? Is a married man living in a one bedroom flat with 6 children is successful in life So you mean if you live to be 60 years and in that 60 years all you have to show is marriage, you are automatically successful? 24 Likes 3 Shares |

It depends on how u see marriage. If u value it then it is a success. If u marry just because others marry then u will never regard it as a success. People are misunderstanding the question. We ain't saying marriage makes one successful. What the question says is if being married counts as one of the things the individual can say he has achieved. I mean being a professor doesnt mean one can't be poor but to that individual he will count attaining thay height as a success. 6 Likes 1 Share |

He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord. Marriage activates success. Only when you marry the right person. I am a a typical example. 7 Likes |

There are so many things one can use to measure success,i think marriage is one of them,a successful marriage though, a home fillled with love and compassion, a home that has a Godly foundation! 2 Likes |
