They should just avoid cheating.
That way they don't have to lie.
"Bestie, just a friend, cousin from my mother mother's side" ___all are unnecessary.

Must you marry — or do you think happiness and fulfillment can be found outside of marriage too?

But some unmarried people are happier than married people

Re: Must you marry? by Wadoh: 4:35pm On Jul 31, 2025

True — some unmarried people are happier than married people, but that doesn’t mean marriage itself is the problem. It’s not marriage vs. singleness that determines happiness — it’s the quality of the life and relationship you build.

Here’s the real issue:

Some people marry for the wrong reasons — pressure, loneliness, status — and end up miserable.

Others stay single for the right reasons — self-awareness, freedom, healing — and thrive.

But the reverse is also true: there are countless married people in joyful, fulfilling unions, and many single people who feel lonely or stuck.

So it’s not the status that makes you happy; it’s the intentionality behind your choices, your self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the kind of people you let into your life.

Marriage isn’t a guaranteed path to happiness — but neither is staying single.
The goal is to build a life that aligns with your values — not just your relationship status.

Hmmm. Having a child but without getting married, will that not still yoke you together with the co-parent?

You intend to raise the child yourself, abi? Or you plan to dump it on someone else to raise on your behalf? huh

Re: Must you marry? by essentialone1(op): 12:39am On Aug 01, 2025

Good question, because children are best raised by a couple. Right?

Wrong! Children are not best raised by a couple. Rather, children are best raised by at least one mature, socially and emotionally intelligent caregiver. undecided

Yeah. But if one does not marry, and has a child, does that not lead to this proliferation of Single Mothers and Baby Mama pandemic currently going on in Nigeria?

Marriage is overrated and has little to no benefits.

It's not must to have a child also. You can live without any offspring.

Lies.

Anyway, I have come to understand that marriage makes it easier for many people to nurture children properly.

For those of you who are sacrificing yourselves for the good of society, the nation and the world in general, may the good Lord bless your kind souls.

Single mother’s majority are damaged beyond repair.

Know this and have peace.

Single mother’s are only compatible for single father’s in their league.
