I think you have answered your own question with the last line... (Giving examples of successful people who are married)!

If a person starts failing in life and career due to marriage, then he made a wrong choice in marriage.

Some marriages slow down partners, while some help the parties to grow more.



I speak as a married young man and ever since I got married, I have grown more than I was as a single man.



In fact, my financial and business growth became more rapid ever since I got married.


Maybe its luck, I don't know sha

My brother told me this like q0 years ago and I'm beginning to think it's true.
As a man,if you have goals to achieve ,especially big ones, it is good to stay away from women.
Comes with all sorts of distractions and drawbacks.

Confirmation bias.

Just as there are succeful unmarried folks, there are successful married folks. Infact there are more successful married people than the opposite. The crux of the matter is to marry a good partner.

Not always true my brother, sometimes it depends on the woman.



Some women will inspire and assist you to become great while some will slow you down. So before you marry, pray to your God on your own and also use your wisdom, romantic love is not enough reason to marry anybody.



Marriage is more than love and butterfly feelings. Don't marry a girl just because you feel you love her. Most men marry foolishly in the name of love. Use your number 6.

It depends on the individuals in the marriage.

And it depends on the type of pursuits as well.

You want to become a prolific writer of quality fiction, you need an extremely understanding spouse.

While writing Attahiru, Ahmed Yerima had to leave home for months to research and gather materials for his work in Sokoto.

And that is just one instance.

You want to be a great actor, you need a very understanding spouse, otherwise you will not get far.

Marriage is a blessing from God. He who finds a wife findeth good thing and obtaineth favour from the Lord.

It depends on the person but there are certain decisions you can take as a single that you can't take as a married person. You have to consider your family.

Besides it also depends on the type of wife you married. If she's a drama queen, your name is "sorry".

Ronaldo, wizkid, davido are all married mr MR.


For them not to get papper back up doesn't stop them to function the same way those who did elaborate weddings as husband and father do.

Infact they do more of husband and father functions far more than many unknown certificate backed husbands.

Re: Is Marriage A Distraction In A Person's Pursuit Of Success? by Awoleesu(m): 5:20pm On Mar 19, 2022
It depends...

What I'll tell you is marriage is about the two compromising and sacrificing their personal pleasures for a joint venture...

The "Joint venture" is where an admixture of pros and cons happen...


Thing is, if you cannot sacrifice that thing 'so special' to you on the altar of a joint venture, then rule out marriage!
