So without marriage who will you hand over your success, your toil and your aspirations to? Success without a successor might end up in a futile adventure after the demise of these celebrities. Marriage is the best environment to raise a family. You seek for your true partner, raise a kids after your desired pattern, incalculate your discipline and upbringing to be able to receive your success. I don't have to pay for child support, neither do I have to check if my girlfriend or my child mother is a gold digger or not. I chose her and vice versa Even the law recognises who inherit from the parent. 1 Like |

It depends on what is success to you. But in all it's entirety marriage is a huge distraction to success . Forget about the public perception of married life. If you truly know what they are going through privately, you may decide never to get married. If there is a reset button for married life that erases marriages and it's timeline from people's life and memory, there would be Less than 3% of marriages in the history of mankind. Truth be told , you have no idea what spouses and marriages has delibrately and indelibrately cost people. Most Married couples are deeply regretting and sorrowful in private and but come out smiling and feigning happiness in public. Most people's personal life stops growing after marriage, be it career, spiritual, financial and all that. Do you have an idea of how many people marriage have destroyed. Take a closer look at couples around you. How many truly happily married couples do you see? Most of them are still struggling in their marriages because of their children. Ever asked yourself what a spouse saw in his or her husband or wife that made them marry that person?. That is one of the things marriage does to a person. Unless you are willing to give away everything you worked for and believed in. Marriage is a MIGHTILY HUGE DISTRACTION and THE MOST OVERRATED INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD. 4 Likes 1 Share |

SmartyPants: Dr dre founded aftermath in 1996 after he left deathrow with nothing Aftermath struggled for years to make actual hits The aftermath album didn't make money The firm album didn't make money Dre did not get back on his feet until the slim shady lp in 1999 Dres real hammering was when apple bought over beats for 3billion in 2014 So get with the program. His wife was with him during the darkest time in his career, and she was there when he rose to being an actual billionaire. Maybe you should find the memes of dre 1993 vs dre 2015 Of course maybe you think that 'success' of 1993 can compare to where dre is now. Deathrow is bankrupt and was bought for pennies by snoop, snoop himself is more of a social media celebrity than an actual rich dude, the founder of deathrow is still in jail - whatever the success of that time was tied to is effectively dead. Where are all the other names from death row? Daz? Kurupt? Jay Flexxx? Suge? 4 Likes |

SmartyPants: Only dre and the ex wife can answer the question. But the fact is obvious Dr dre did not stagnate, or dwindle while he was married to her. He rose from your narrow definition of success (successful West Coast rap producer) to a world class billionaire while he was married to her. In the context of this thread was his marriage a distraction? Maybe if he had married someone else, someone who, like you thought 1996 dre was the peak, the zenith the end all, he too would be a has been today. Who knows? 3 Likes |

Yes. Marriage is a big distraction to succeed professionally especially when you marry bad wife and incompatible one. It is better you reach apex of your career before getting married. Then you relax, leisure with your wife, children while enjoying dividend from your investment. You can tour the world with them 3 Likes |

GloriousGbola: One of the most fundamental erros in logic, is the causal fallacy. That something happened after another thing does not mean that it happened becasue of it. The evidence we have is simply that Dr. Dre was always ambitious and was always successful even if not wildly so. That he had a low point in his life does not mean that he would not have recovered. Now, yes, we do not know if the wife really played a role in his rise. But on the evidence that the woman herself has not achieved anything notable before, during or after her marriage to Dr. Dre, it seems rather unlikely that she could then be cited as the driver of his growth. And of course, we know that she is the reason why he will lose his billionaire status. The conclusion: we cannot say that she was responsible for his growth. We can say that given her own lack of achievement it seems unlikely. We can also state that she is directly the cause of his greatest-known misfortune. Given the improbability of her being the reason for his success and the fact that she is the known cause of his misfortune if you were Dr. Dre and you were taken back to 1996, would you get married to this woman again? 1 Like 1 Share |

Marriage can obviously distract you from achieving your life goals. But don't be f00led. The biggest distraction is when you sleep with different women and still come to Nairaland to claim "single". Do you honestly think that a MARRIED Banky W or Adekunle Gold is as distracted as a single WIZKID or DAVIDO with different baby mamas and kids here and there? Do not let the success of a privileged Davido deceive you. Many of his "single" kind with different baby mamas are in Agege motor park, looking for the next driver to extort. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Vinnie2000: If you want to do what has never been done before... If you want to achieve great heights that have never been reached, trust me, marriage is a big distraction. But if you want to live a normal life... Work 9-5 and retire in your 60s and start collecting pension, then marriage is a very good thing. Let me give you a few examples here on Nairaland. There was a female writer I looked up to here on Nairaland (literature section) around 2016-2017... I wanted to be like her because the rate at which she wrote stories (good stories) was very remarkable. But after she got married, she went off the map. Of cos she is happy in her marriage, but her writing had to suffer. Also, there is a guy on Nairaland that started an e-commerce app to rival okadabooks and even amazon... I saw this guy growing, I chatted with him often, and I was happy for him. But once he got married, he shut down the app. I see his status, and I can see he is very happy with his family, but his dream is dead. Those are two examples of Nairalanders. I can site tens of other real life examples, but you get the drift. The Op mentioned JAY Z and Beyonce being exceptions. What people don't understand is that Beyonce started singing professionally at the age of 8 with Kelly Rowland and a group of girls... Beyonce's dad was working with Xerox, and he had to give up his job just to dedicate his life on building his daughter's girl group... Even at that, it took Beyonce 10 years of constant grind to make it. What of JAY Z her husband... He started rapping professionally with Jaz O in 1986-1987...He didn't make it big until 1998...thats 11-12 years grind. So, Beyonce and Jay Z had already made a lot of sacrifice before they eventually married when they had become individually superstars already. As I said earlier, if you want to live a normal life, marriage is a sweet thing. But if you want to be extraordinary, marriage is a big distraction. 2 Likes |
