Must Every Relationship Lead To Marriage? by Swizdoe(op): 11:58am On Nov 29, 2014
I came across a post by a female Nlder saying if its a must that every relationship end up in marriage. I was even surprised that it was coming from a female.
IMO, why would you be in a relationship with someone when you don't see any future with him/her. Some are in a relationship so that they can belong, while away time, prove a point (e.g getting back at their ex) or for personal gains (which is called friend with benefits).
No matter how much magnitude a relationship has, as long as it lacks direction. Its just a waste of time, energy and probably money on the part of both parties involved.
But that's just my own opinion and not the opinion of many. So do you think every relationship should end up in marriage or not

Depends on the stage of one's life, I suppose. Teens should date for the fun of it, once you hit 20, the relationship better have a future.

I agree with your opinion. I think there is no point going into a relationship if u've not carefully had a meeting with yourself on the issue of your future with that person. No need sampling various partners cos to me it's a waste of precious time. You can have close friends of the opposite sex but when it comes to being more than friends, one should be able to tell where it will end and if marriage is notin sight, then to me, it's not worth it.

I don't expect every 'relationship' to end in marriage but at a minimum, every 'relationship' should be open to the possibility of marriage.

No sir, it's better to have a broken relationship, than to have a broken marriage.

Not must but you have to define it.

Re: Must Every Relationship Lead To Marriage? by jaxxy(m):
it depends on what values u place on it and how u both define it. Not everyone is thinking about marriage right away or even know if u are marriage worthy but are willing to get into a relationship with u to find out or just to have a close companion at that moment.

personal speaking u don't get into a relationship thinking about marriage but rather to know the person and if it makes sense u can take it further. How u conduct urselves and set boundaries in that relationship is up to you and a different story.

But if u program ur mind from the start to end up in marriage even b4 knowing them I think u will make alot of mistakes and overlook alot of red flags.

From the def of relationship, not all will lead to marriage

Relationships are essentially a testing ground for compatibility. And should be define n review from time to time

Nobody gets successful on their first try. Apple and Amazon were profit less in their early years. Did they stop?
Do your prayers get answered immediately you pray them?
Think about this........with the mighty power of God, he took him 33 Earth years to become the savior, is it necessary for God to wait 33 years to die for us?
So what am saying is this: even if there are directions and future potentials, it's not a signal to enter marriage. Marriage not relationship is a covenant therefore you must be ready for the worst and prepare for the best, meaning you would meet a lot of people that will not waste your time, but you won't get married, and you will meet people that will waste your time, and might get married. Therefore instead of asking for future potential or direction, ask God for purpose, who is he/she?, Is he/she the right person for me? I am the right person for her? , all these are more will ultimately help you in choosing not just the right partner but the right person God has designed for you and you only. Do have a lovely Day
Re: Must Every Relationship Lead To Marriage? by jeff1993: 5:26pm On Apr 24
No it must not ooooooooo esp with the kind of gender paradi g these days.

99.7% of first relationship do not lead to marriage. Even 80%0of all second relationships do not lead to marriage. It's all trial by error till u find the one u can tolerate.
Re: Must Every Relationship Lead To Marriage? by folake4u: 6:31pm On Apr 24
Marriage is usually the last thought when I enter a relationship. I like living in the present a lot.

If you mention Marriage all the time, I will run away. I don't like desperate men.

1. Woman no dey Nairaland. All the accounts marked f are boys in the closet.

2. Where is the link to the post?

3. All relationships must not lead to marriage. Are you a simp? Some people were created for sexual satisfaction and nothing else. Some people for intellectual discourse. Some to have around as a trophy and finally, some to share your life with. You must be one of these bored jambites creating digital graffiti to kill boredom.
