Why Do People Put Pressure On Young Adult To Get Married? by damesilver(m): 12:21pm On Apr 16, 2016
I observed that people rarely mind their businesses when it comes to relationships between man and woman. From friends, family, co-workers, neighbours, etc, etc. They are always curious. Is it genuine love that moves them? Do they actually care about the welfare of their neighbours by their relentless persuasion on young maiden to get married? Their barrage of impure thoughts on the single unmarried can create confusion and instability in the youths life.

This an abuse and a trespass to an individual right's to live. Each person bears spiritually the responsibility for whatever he thinks and does.

And if these set of people are met for some financial help, material or spiritual progress, they are often too unwilling to render assistance, yet, they worry that you are not yet married; as if marriage is a ticket to the kingdom of heaven. Must a person marry in order to live a happy and responsible life!

People should desist from the evil habit of persuading another person to get married, no matter how close you may seem. It doesn't matter whether it concerns your relations.

This is because they think their primary purpose of existence is to marry. You see people that could barely maintain their relationships. Everyday quarrel and gross level of pretence ...quick to point out the single state of another person, even though it is obvious that that person is happier being single. I keep saying this that if ppl in Nigeria learn how to minds their business half of out country problems till be solved

That is how mum pushed me to marry when I was in jss2, just for her child to marry early.

Later got married when I was in ss3 ( just to make them happy) hubby promised me heaven and earth that I will further my education but it never happened.


I have been married to 5years now but no child (married as a virgin), he beat me every time call me names and say that am badluck to him.He is 11 years older than me ,Am 22+ and am tied.


I want to move on with my life but everyone is saying that we have wedded that is not easy to divorce.
am afraid because I don't want to die and he may kill me one day.




God I need your wisdom in this critical condition that am into.

Societal expectations basically! In the Nigerian context, you aren't fully accomplished until you have a family and kids

That's too bad! You need to leave that marriage and start afresh! You are a young lady supposedly with a lot of potentials...Look for a small job to be doing while you save some money to further your education. It's very important that you complete your school. Without a degree you are hindered and cannot progress properly career wise.
Your marriage is not healthy. If there was no violence involved, I would have adviced you to try and get pregnant because a child might remedy the stress between you two and restore some love. I find it hard to believe that you are 22+ and going through infertility issues. It's either you two do not have sex at the right time or you have hormonal issues. Anyways, looking at the situation of things , it's not adviced that you remain there.
Seek help with someone who is older and more experienced, so that they can advice you properly on what next to do.
Good luck!

What is wrong with you? Why are you praying to have triplet for a man that violently abuse you everytime?

It is God that have kept you to this time. He made you childless so that you may find a new life for yourself. Now u pray to lock out your destiny.

This man that married is too young to know what marriage is. I doubt he will ever understand Esp that you guys hv spent 5 years togeda. He feels caged. Release him and release yourself.

Go get little job and pitch your tent somewhere else

Thanks sis. That lady want to kill herself and lockout her destiny. She isn't barrel. God kept her that way that she may find new life. At worst, it could be hormonal imbalance, bad spermicides, unmatched fertilization or hubby doing.

That is because we see it as an achievement in this part of the world.

They will be suggesting as if they will be the one to take care of the family for you.

I personally don't see how important marriage is nor do I see women as a must have in my life anymore.
