I want to believe your Fada's life style and ways of life must have directly or indirectly impacted on your thoughts.
Marriage benefits : 1. To build home - A home where virtues are taught and encourage. 2. To fulfill sexual urge morally and spiritually. 3. For procreation 4. Companionship. 5. To build a healthy society. Note - Challenges are bound in marriage like any other institutions. Orderliness in society starts from home, you are what you are today because of challenges of marriage your parents went through and conquer. Don't focus your mind on challenges of marriage alone, also appreciate one or two benefits of marriage begin from their.

I have no reason to lie. I am not claiming to be a saint and after peservering for a few years after our sex ife dried up, I looked outside and didnt look back. i was determined to stay in the marriage even though it was dead for the salke of the children (dumb move). She was a good woman for many many years so a good partner can go rogue.

I can understand people can stop loving each other but I can never get over the thought of a woman i had been with for 22 years (dated for 9 years - we were teenagers when we started) had no qualms about sending me to prison for her new flame.

Those were were the worst 2 years of my life. No home, had to move into shared accomodation, something I had never done in all my life in the abroad grin, had to sell my car and, took on so much debt to pay almost £20,000 in solicitor/barrister fees, took a second job doing 12 hours night shift in a factory. All this was going on with the prospect of prison time and a criminal record.

Those were really dark days and I contemplated suicide. The ironic thing is, it was a woman who helped me through those very dark times. i honestly believe if that woman wasnt in my life in that period, I wouldnt be here today.

I know this is a bit off topic. I am sorry but this is like therapy for me..

Google the benefit you will know better

Ask iyabo ojo, kemi oluloyo, Genevive, Tonto, Eucharia, Chika Ike etc they will tell the benefit of having husband than still be a side chick at menopause.

I v left Bible. Now I mentioned
1. Value in life of child. It's first gotten from homes.

2. Sense of belonging. It starts from homes.

3. Teamwork. It starts from homes.

4. Accountability. It starts from home.

5. Respect. It starts from homes.

The list is endless. A complete family ll instill all these in their children. Of course they can be gotten elsewhere. But a child that enjoyed the affection of parent ll v value in him/her.
I know some ll twist this and give samples of wayward kids raised by both parents.
But it is what it is. Marriage is bliss.
It's lawful.

Your write up focuses on just children. Children is the only benefit of marriage and even then, both men and women enjoy it....there's nothing in marriage that's for the sole benefit of men... aside from children all other benefits are for the woman....

Bro whatever you do, do not, I repeat, do not get married! You will always regret it. I love my late dad, he was the best dad anyone could ask for but if I see him in the afterlife, I will ask him why he never told me the truth about marriage and advise me no to get married.

Love someone (with sense), have children, live together but never ever sign your life away. Finally do not let any woman you are with know everything about you.

The first thing that deteriorates after marriage is your sex life. I think its a psychological thing. Maybe the subconscious feeling that you've both got each other for 'life' messes with the brain.

I was married for 14 years. My ex-wife started a relationship with a work colleague and a month after using the police to kick me out of my house, the dude left his own family and moved into my house.

I was charged with several offences for an altercation I had with the guy when I caught him in my house. My ex-wife (we were still married at the time) the mother of my children came to the crown court to testify against me on his behalf. The jury saw through their lies and determination to send me to prison and acquited me on all charges (over 5)

Its been a few years but I still shudder at the thought that I believed so much in this woman and chose her over my own siblings.

Attached is msg I got from her this morning. This is despite her taking the house which I put
down 66% of the deposit. This woman earns almost double what I earn and I pay her over a quarter of my net earnings for child maintenance.

You'll probably still go ahead and get married but its almost guaranteed that one day in the future you will look back and wish you heeded the advice of many people who told you not to


Can you answer this, what happens when you grow old and you don't have a family to look after you? Just an honest question ⁉️

Ok. Let's leave children out of it.
Are children not the ones that ll become adult.
Boda BigBashiru, talk with logic. I don't want to disrespect by saying talk with sense.
What a child knows from childhood is what ll take him/her to adulthood. Survival of most people starts from teen age. If a teen is well guided, he/she ll be of good conduct. The first place to get conduct is from home. It's more sweet if it's from mum & dad.

I have children but I dont expect to become a burden to them. Once my health starts failing (hopefully when I am much older - Dont eally need to here longer than 70) and I have become a burden to society and my loved ones, I will book a flight to Switzerland for assisted dying. i know its easy to say this now as self preservation will naturally kick in but this is my plan.

Benefits of marriage are as follows:
- To abstain from sin of fornication which displeases God.
- To be decent (not seen as wayward)
- For your personal safety (not exposing your life to many...)
- To have people dear to our heart to pass on our legacy.
- To have helpers when growing old and weak in strength.
- To have confident to share our dreams.
- To defend yourself from too many friends.
- To limit your freedom in doing things that kills.
- To make you focus.
Advantages are too many to list.

And those are broken, ratchet homes. It's just a fact that kids benefit more from a proper, married household.



It's not about the food. It's about the love and care in it. It's about someone that makes sure you eat well, gets your favorite on your birthday, cooks you something soothing when you're sick, and takes over cooking when you're really tired.



Chose better and do better and maybe you won't have that problem.



It's a sign of poor mental health and education that you view intimacy and human beings in that way.

And intimacy problems in marriages are a result of laziness in looking after the relationship. They're also a result of ignorance where some people think their partner is a machine.



Again, choose better. Stop looking for slay queens, and find someone who's a good partner.



Some guys work very hard, and they need a breather before tackling household responsibilities. Women are no different. That's life. Even single people may do this. It is what it is.

But some guys are immature. They don't go home because they want to be single while married. And they want to have all the married benefits with none of the work. They may have married too soon.



Marriage isn't for everyone. However, an educated, well-adjusted person generally doesn't ask this question.


That is your opinion, I gave examples that quashed your so-called educated and well-adjusted reasoning.
Next time, learn not to go personal in making your points, you don't know me but you already assuming.

Since all opinions(both negative and positive) are welcomed, I have read yours and let me move to the next person.

Thank you!

Get married when you've met the person you genuinely love. Until then, live your life. You absolutely have no reason to think of marriage now. Nobody will gain anything from your marriage.
