Why Do We Marry? by MrLexander(m): 8:37pm On Dec 12, 2015
Sometimes stuffs like this get across my mind.. though weird but its something we need to think deep about and understand its effects,advantages,disadvantages,pron and cons etc..

Biblically i do understand that marriage is legalised but again i havent came across where the bible says that men who dont get married will goto hell or so..

Cant a man just have kids without getting married?
Must we follow the societal mentality and culture ?
Must we fulfill the norms of the our todays culture?
Must marriage exist before a man be respected in the society?

So many questions to be answered!
Why must a man be married before he is respected in the society?
Opinions from you all..

I don't think unmarried men are disrespected in the society, unmarried women are mostly the victims not men. And why should anyone care what anyone thinks about them for not marrying, their business and headache. Nonetheless, I'm equally interested in learning from the question you asked.

Alex, I once think like you when I was growing up. I don't know where to start answering or contributing but I just wanna ask you a question... how did you feel growing up with the love and support of your parents? it is not a must that you get married as the bible stated but if you must remain single, let it be for the sake of the kingdom of God. And secondly, if you are christian, you will agree with me that the bible condemned formication. I'm married and happy, no regrets.

well here's my hypothesis ......(from an evolutionary perspective) .in our cave dwellers' society the men were the hunters so....to get food the women wud av had to offer sexual favours...... perhaps jumping from one man to another. they got pregnant(since there were no contraceptives). these men wud av being sceptical of taking care of a woman and her child since he wasn't sure the child was his. To solve this problem, marriage and strict laws of fidelity came on board ( for the women)and this might explain why fidelity rules r more relaxed for men

i like your hypothesis, mine has a marxist tweak to it...after the early men started random sampling, times came when they had attachments to one or two, hence that special desire to have her to themselves...this would av resulted into contradictions as there will be others who want her. hence,, the leaders or stronger ones agreed that after meeting certain rights, a man can have a woman to himself...another aspect of private property law.

In my opinion... marriage is pointless.

It's just valued in Nigeria and 3rd world countries. Where marriage is an achievement.

I know people who grew up with their parents.. lived happy and even moved on from being boys with their lives to Men and their parents were never married. I know alot. Not 1 not 2 not 3 ...not 20.. alot

So the earlier we realize that marriage has no point the better. Marriage is a cage! A floor opened for a liability.
