as there are many different type of marriages, i certainly agree... there are:
- marriage of convenience (marry someone because he can help you achieve something you desire)
- marriage for money (marry someone simply because they are rich)
- marriage for status (marry someone powerful like judge/dpo/minister/thief in robe)
- marriage for peer pressure (marry some donkey because you want to be married at all cost like everyone around you)
- marriage for foolishness (marry because everyone will think you are happy)
- marriage for trophy (aka trophy wife/star actor or singer)
- marriage for family (marry the e-goat your family forced you to marry)

then there is the marriage for LOVE, because you simply want to spend the rest of your natural life waking up next to that person that you cherish with all your might, for no plausible reason; that person that puts a smile on your face just by being themselves; that person that makes you become the best HD version of yourself. BTW that marriage is the only one that can possibly last the test of time.

marriage for family (marry the e-goat your family forced you to marry)
why does the person have to be an e goat simply because the family wants you to marry them? huh What if he or she is acceptable to you?


besides, cant people marry e goats by themselves without outside interference? huh




then there is the marriage for LOVE, because you simply want to spend the rest of your natural life waking up next to that person that you cherish
but dont you think someone might prefer their own room without attaching any meaning to it?

what would you rather i call marrying this stranger?!

What if he or she is acceptable to you?
read again carefully what you just wrote above... the minute someone marries a person because they are "acceptable" then it is the minute i know for a damn fact that there is no LOVE in that union.

here is what "acceptable" means:
- your dream home is a mansion in Banana island, but a shack in Ajegunle will be "acceptable"
- your favourite meal is sushi with coconut soup but soaked garri will be "acceptable"
- your dream man is a tall fit dark and handsome guy but a bald toothless midget will be "acceptable"

besides, cant people marry e goats by themselves without outside interference? huh
they can, actually many do "because" of love.

but dont you think someone might prefer their own room without attaching any meaning to it?
whatever rocks each and everyone's boat... if thats what you desire then when you find such man, and he blesses you with whatever you desire in life, then marry that man. the important point here is SATISFACTION/FULFILMENT
