Mstick:Evolution of women is also the greatest undoing of women, forget what you see on social media, talk to the divorced women around you. Talk to the women who refused to get married because they wanted to make money first. What would you want men to evolve into? To start getting pregnant? To start breastfeeding? Perfection needs no evolving. The reason women feel they need to change is strictly out of low self esteem. Women are stepping up to men’s role, men do not have anybody to look up to and simply has no need to evolve. 60% of divorce comes from women because women again, always feel the need to change their situation. When they are single they badly want to get married, once married they badly want to be single again. From the days of Eve women always wanted change while men always wanted to keep the status quo. God placed different curses on men and women, the women today are partaking in the curse of men while carrying their own solo and that’s what you call empowerment? Evolution? |

eazzzy1:I agreed with your first statement, but using it as a yardstick for today's marriage is flawed. Change is inevitable in all situations. So it is either you change with it or remain lagging behind. So many things has changed since our forefathers and mothers such as educations, socialization, politics, population increase, humanity, and so on. Just like trying to compare U.S of Abraham Lincoln to Trump's or Nigeria in which Lord Lugard almagamated to today's Nigeria. Evolution has taking place and we need to adapt to the new changes with different approach. Marriage inclusive. |

bdchange:Change is not inevitable. Human quest to cause problems is what is inevitable. Something can be absolutely perfect and people think we can make it better. We have seen this with weapon, cosmetic surgeries, junk foods etc. Just because things are changing does not mean they are changing for the better. |

Taquin, what’s your take on this? |
| Re: Is Marriage Gradually Going Into Extinction? by Taquin(f): 7:14am On Apr 27, 2025 |
ExBachelor:I will reply when I get home |
| Re: Is Marriage Gradually Going Into Extinction? by Nobody: 7:26am On Apr 27, 2025 |
Taquin:Alright. |

ExBachelor: Marriage is not going extinct, especially in Nigeria where it’s still seen as very important. But the things that used to keep marriages strong in the past don’t really work the same way today. Before, many women were expected to get married by a certain age, even if it meant putting their career dreams aside. Men were mostly seen as the providers. Now, women want both a good career and a happy marriage. They are not choosing one over the other. Because of this change, marriage today feels more complicated, but it’s not disappearing. It's just that the old way of thinking about marriage doesn’t fit our generation anymore. Kapish ![]() |

Taquin:@bold technically, this generation can’t keep the institution called marriage since their thought on marriage and reasons for it doesn’t fit. Remember, love is not enough. Inspite all these, I’ll still like to get married. I’m sure you would too 🤐😉😌 |
| Re: Is Marriage Gradually Going Into Extinction? by Taquin(f): 5:56pm On Apr 27, 2025 |
ExBachelor:Ofcourse I will get married. Bad examples should not deter one from achieving their marital goals. For the other question, as a Nigerian, I classify hot beverages under the term Tea. I take it when I find it difficult to swallow food during flu season. ![]() |

Taquin:Fair enough. Ermmmmmm, what’s the deal breaker for you in a relationship/marriage? Where do you call it quit? Would you also take back a cheating partner? Even coffee as tea? That’s funny. But I actually understand what you mean 🙃 |
| Re: Is Marriage Gradually Going Into Extinction? by Taquin(f): 6:14pm On Apr 27, 2025 |
ExBachelor:That is actually a question I have thought of. Would I really take back a cheating partner? I do not think so but then I cannot say because I have never been in that situation so I cannnot predict my true reaction. ![]() |

There is a woman for every man,and man for every woman. When you go and marry a wrong partner,maybe because of wealth or yansh,the marriage will definitely have issues that you both won't be able to manage. But when you both are meant for each other,no matter the storm,it won't break you two apart. For more counseling, contact me on... ![]() |

Taquin:it’s been a minute. You reckon we should talk? And no team please 😂😂😂 |

Myrepublic:There is no truth to this belief. ![]() 2. Any partner can be a wrong partner when both are not equally invested in the success and health of the relationship. ![]() 3. The idea that two people are meant for each other. Even maternal twins who share the same hobbies and likes can easily turn out enemies if they are not equally invested in making the relationship that exists between them successful. ![]() |

ouzo1:There simply has been a paradigm shift. In those days, intending couples leave no stone unturned in knowing and mastering themselves. Couples these days hardly focus on that. Having a successful marriage goes beyond the chemistry you feel for the other person. Intending couples must invest much more in "knowing themselves". Another descripancy is the fact that red flags are downplayed. Unlike the Israelites who were promised that they shall not see the Egyptians in the promise land, marriage works differently because the Egyptians (red flags) will surely be there. Thus, if you cannot stand a certain trait and the other person is not willing to compromise mid-way or fully, it's best to detach. Finally, it's no surprise that the devil is attacking marriages. This is based on the belief that separation breeds dysfunctional children (in most cases) and these are easy targets for his antics. |

ExBachelor:Hey ExBachelor, I received your mail but I reckon that our communication should be limited to nairaland for now. So what is so important that cannot be discussed here?? |

Taquin:Hey I’m good. Yourself? Just thinking we could know ourselves outside the app. But it’s cool still |
