oh and I get irritated when someone consistently insists that I am something that I'm not - as if they know me more than me

OP, you put Victoria Beckham (me) with some Beyonce--Kim Dash--J Lo--type-looking babes, and asked people to vote for the sexiest, on a Nigerian Forum, and you expect her to get a couple of votes? Chei!

claremont:
The fact that there are "happy marriages" doesn't in any remote way make void the OP's sound hypothesis that marriage is indeed very much overrated. It's like someone saying that the showcasing of miracles proves the existence of a God. The fact of the matter is that most modern marriage are doomed for failure i.e. if they haven't already failed. I for one have also noticed that the trajectory of marital failures shot up at the same time this whole "love delusion" started, that tells us something!

She made a blanket statement about marriage that I believe was incorrect so I countered some of her skewed points which only highlights one side. I will agree that marriage is a recurring theme in discussions, the media etc. . . as a result I think some people perceive there's much hype about the institution. I think the tendency to frequently highlight marriage may lead to some desensitization or perhaps slight exasperation but that doesn't mean it's "overrated" because it's over emphasized.

Some people view marriage as another rung on the ladder of life hood achievements. . . for others it's a rite of passage or something quite spontaneous and of course there are those who are forced. . .so the fact that people evaluate marriage differently and get married for a myriad of reasons rightly or wrongly should serve to convey that each marriage carry it's own disposition whether it be misery or joy.

I think iice called it when she said it's more to do with the parties involved than the actual institution.

Amya:
while it's not compulsory to get married, try not getting married and watch yourself become the outcast.

Depending on the society I agree. . . such a person is not seen as complete or wholly successful despite their career or wealth because marriage in some societies is integral to an individuals success.

. . . but then again that's if you care what others think of you.

aww congrats

^^

I'd rather such a thread wasn't made

hey there

@ Amya, marriage may be considered conventional and it may be over emphasized but I don't think marriage is "overrated" . . .if anything I believe it's standing has depreciated somewhat and recently been eclipsed in favour of other alternatives . .  . .moreover it's overly employed by naive individuals who marry at a whim hence such marriages generally have a shorter life span and higher occurrences . . . consequently failed ones are often cast in the spotlight. Marriage isn't valued as it once was (in some societies) that's why there's much admiration for couples who have endured till the end. . .


there are people who "want" to be married

there are "happy" marriages

and there are individuals whom marriage has been "beneficial" to

Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you. Aside this, marriage is in no way beneficial to individuals themselves.

er kinda contradictory methinks
