The ratio of happy to unhappy marriages means absolutely nothing since Marriage has always been a contract between man and woman, and like most all other contracts, can be terminated by the parties involved. undecided

Marriage has ALWAYS been exactly that with divorce as the accepted and legal way of terminating the union. So why do you not know this? undecided

Whay sayest thee not know of such legal agreement?.... I'm not talking from your angle son. What I mean here, as a contract, the couple will agree on a specific years they wish to be married let's say ten years and after the time have elapsed, they might decide to renew or terminate. This way it will reduce the trauma and emotional disorder that comes with divorce.

I think marriage was imposed on humans for reasons best known to its creators.
Men want more women,women want more men.
You give this,you lack that ,etc...
Is it something I'm excited about?No.
Will I do it?Well maybe,time shall tell.
Am I scared about it?Yes.
Will I trust my spouse?Well I honestly don't know but I highly doubt it.
It's hard to completely trust a person cos along the line,you'd get disappointed one way or the other,
The only reason a lot of people still trust their unions is ignorance,shine a little light to the dark and all hell breaks lose.
I've learnt to tolerate some excesses and ignore a lot as I grow older when it comes to this whole union thing,just give me my space abeg and don't be all up in my face as I won't do same to you.
If you want to have more,feel free cos I won't even investigate,just don't bring back diseases to pass to me cos I'd kill you honestly.

I think whether you trust or not the pain of heart break is still the same however, you should define the boundaries of what disappointment is to You and you look for those flags in a relationship.
if ever you are ready for marriage be intentional in recieving as much as you give because you deserve it.

As long as women continue to push for equal authority with men in households, the result will always be disastrous.
Your doctrine or view is from the very anals of hell. Projecting promiscuity or adultery as a natural act for a married man is the very reason why modern marriages don't last.

I have seen plentiful post about failed marriages on the Internet. Most marriages only last a couple of years before divorce comes up. Although there are few happy marriages. The ratio for happy marriages and failed marriages is 20:80. There are many factors that contribute to failed marriages which include cheating, unfaithfulness, finance etc. Some just wake up and realise that their wife is no longer attractive ( did they force her on you? ). Back in the days marriages were pre set up whereby couples barely knows themselves. Nowadays you see couple dating for 6-10years and when they finally get married issues will start poping up.

Maybe marriage should be like a contact after some years it will be terminated depending on how long the couple want it to be

Unmarried people should not talk about failed marriages, untill they get there. Who told you the ratio is 20:80?. Marriage is very sweet and enjoyed by many. Don't be fooled because empty barrels makes the most noise 🚶🚶

Re: Is Marriage A Failed Union? by Gboom: 9:47am On Dec 29, 2023
What normally baffles me is that majority of you commenting here have not experienced marriage but are quickly to paint marriage as an unsuccessful venture based on few stories you read on the internet to justify marriage.
Note one thing, as long as there in no perfect human being there never can be a perfect marriage, we all have weaknesses which as a couple we need to tolerate each other.
To OP, I can tell you that your statistics is success to failure in marriage is subjective. IMO, successful is more than failed ones but the word divorce is popular because it represents failure and so people are looking for others to fall

When I’m ready to walk that path, I’ll draft a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement.

There’s more to marriage than emotions/fleeting feelings and as such should be handled with business gloves.

Cr7 is my model in that regard.

When that Cr7 model falls apart, I pray you will be alive to witness it. It looks good on the surface, but the inherent fault in it will one day cause it to explode.

Why can't you be contented with only one pûssy? Why can't one woman satisfy the sexual need of a man?
Does the man have two penis?
Must you penetrate every holes even in bottles, STD & demonic ones?
Stop giving excuses to do crime. Also, what's wrong with pushing for equal rights btw male & female? Are male heads bigger than female heads?
You should be more concerned with deadbeat dads littering the street with kids that they don't care for.

Answer: It is not. Celebrities marriages getting failed is not a standard to evaluate whether marriage is a failed union.

Marriage is a blessing to those who believe in it.

Actually so many marriage are still working and moving on fine

This is the era of internet where few bad news will hit the headlines thereby making it look like good news doesn't exist

So many marriage offline are doing well, just that they don't run to the press or social media about their average but going well marriage unlike the loud mouthed marriage failures

Yes I agree with you. Marriage run offline lasts longer. Same with not having much friends in social media. I and my hubby have just committed friends on social media and our Whatsapp. Too much friends too much enemies

Listen up students
Marriage is an abnormal union among H. Sapien. It is one of the signs of mental illness, that allows you to pay huge Brice price in some cases, for a lady they fukd with indomie and egg.
In other climes, getting a union that would require you lose a fortune when you divorce.
The only known normal behavior among H. Sapien is cohabitation.

You asked yourself, how many successful MARRIAGES comming to social media to advertise?

Even the one u read on social media are they all true?

The loud of few failed MARRIAGES are they not overshadowed several SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES?

...and above all, hope u know different between failed economy/ wen man going through turbulence time and stormy Marriage (wen someone is going through stormy of life but u mistaken it for marital crises)

And lastly.......is single, single-father or single mother not passing through difficulty time as well?



Emeka separated/ divorced up to 7 years now.... does it make his life free from battle of life now? is he not embittered man still?

You don't agree with the ratio of 20-80?..... Aside the internet take a sampling on houses that have happy marriage. Mind you some couple are already divorce emotionally but the cling to the marriage maybe becos of children or societal views.

The post about marriage is funny because it shows how depraved and culturally & socially irresponsible our society has become. Young men and ladies that see relationship & sexual immorality as a game are here speaking as if they know what it is to be truly married. The generation of kids we have is just incredibly terrible. They're stupid and perverted beyond all ramification. If you're here and still hold a sane mind. Good for you, thank God for your life. That said, don't bring up useless statistics about marriage when you know nothing about it. God established marriage and it is a beautiful thing when a Man and a woman come together as one to live and bring forth a new generation.

Congratulations to you if you have a beautiful marriage, but that doesn't change the fact that the ratio is 20:80. Don't compare with yours only, always check out the majority.

I won't call it failed but it's hard.

Especially if you are not friends.

Marry a friend you have a lot of common interests.

If you both want the same things and think alike, marriage is indeed enjoyable.

I didn't tow this path... I married very young.

My spouse and I are two good people committed to our vows but we have little or nothing in common.

Our commitment keeps us together.

How did you arrived at the figure. Did you use sample or population distribution
