Hahahahahahah grin cheesy

You are so funny

But seriously a lot of people are not following their hearts .
If we should really seat ourselves down and question it!
I think we are now getting to the point?.

"But seriously a lot of people are not following their hearts" .

If they are not following their hearts, what do you think they are following?. And also is our heart responsible for our actions instead of the mind?.

Then should we blame the concepts of "Marriage" itself?
I think what we should blame is the notion that marriage is a symbol of social standing and achievement, meant to be pursued by everyone. It is not. But somehow we have reduced marriage to a medal and thereby depleted it's value.

and that is why we have a failed marriage.

Would you agree with me that, people should stop getting married?.

Yeah, you have a point. But those whose marriage ended up crashing, does it mean, they are not true to themselves, with no conscience?
Yes , they were not true to themselves .
Some marriages are filled with lies and make believe paparazzi
Some are filled with strife due to stubbornness and envy
Some are filled with passion to hurt and not to love and care for the other

Now tell me , if one have a conscience he or she wont lie continuously face to face to the one he or she claim they love about what's not real.

If one has a conscience, he or she won't be thrilled to cheat on their loved ones

If one has a conscience the woman will be true to herself and ask herself. If I marry this man , will I see him as the head of our family ? Will I love and respect him? Or will I rather see him as beneath me ,if not for his money and status ? I won't even near him, how much more marry him. Such lady ? Her conscience is dead , so anything can happen .its just a matter of time ,before everything packs up

A guy who beats his wife at any slightest provocation ? His conscience is dead !

A guy who forks strange women at will even after saying his vows on the alter to be faithful and loyal to his wife ,his conscience is dead!
Likewise the wife too , if she sleeps with strange men during marriage .

There's are so many instances out there

Remember if u have a conscience ? U will think before taking any drastic step that could hurt your partner or loved one .

Which means, we can also translate conscience into "Change" . change is constant - I think, with your points , I am understanding the why change is constant.

Behind every positive vibes, there is a negative vibes. Hope you know that. Instead of blaming conscience, don't you think we should not indulge into marriage at all?.

Lol! I think that's a bit extreme. But following your thinking, if there was a decree to abolish marriage, it would relieve the pressure on a lot of young people. It would probably prevent a few suicides as well. But what impact would it have when one gets older and needs the companionship of a spouse, sit around and recollect memories made - shared.......it would feel futile, won't it?

It's better to let people chose. And society shouldn't take it for granted that people automatically will.

Okay... But I think the reason behind failed marriage is because we lost the olden glory.

Women now a days wants to lead, trend, be outspoken and take control, and men want to be treated like a baby. So when the both parties ain't getting dia desire, the time expires. Look back into history, when men are the head of the family, with authoritative control over everything, and women are the family keeper, ensuring that everything is in order. But we now have a dimensional shift, things are upside down, and our generation will surfer it till 2019.

Exactly my view sir, but please can you tell us more about the followings:

1. What are those behavioral responses based on gender-role expectations?.

2. What are those cultural templates being enforced by ethno-spiritual institutions?.

3. How are these elements still being reinforced even into adulthood via all agents of socialization?. Thanks.
"I Still Want My Woman To Serve Me Food And Kneel Down" - 9ice Talks Marriage!
https://www.nairaland.com/3805222/still-want-woman-serve-me#56619394

This piece partly elucidates my earlier submissions.

See, it would have looked like i was trying to talk down an entire tribe for the personal example i made earlier but can you imagine someone of 9ice's status still desiring a woman who would kneel down and serve him food? Doesn't that sound somehow? But I want to believe it's partly our earlier observations, which you echoed above, that are accountable for him having such expectations of a 21st century slayQueen, eh?!

Allow me to quote him a bit..

[b]"I'm single but I'm not searching because it's not part of my priority right now. I've dealt with this topic so many times and people just tend to take the negative side of it but it's like they don't understand what I'm saying because they're not in my shoe."

He continued: "Marriage is not for this generation... I have my reasons(for saying that) because, as a Nigerian, as a Yoruba man, there are some culture and tradition that you're being taught when you're being brought up as a man. You want the same thing from your wife (but) you're not going to get it from today's woman. because then we have exposure. They are the ones that sent us to school. And I still want my woman to serve me food and kneel down. Ejo Aunty, who's going to do that for me now?"

He added: "but you're not going to get that as a man, so we today's men, we need to get that into our thick skull that you're not going to get the same thing your mom is giving to your dad. You are going to get something different because who you're getting married to is quite different from your mom. But we are not ready. That's why you see that this generation are losing marriages, six months and it's dissolved.

He went on to advise people to marry for the right reasons and not out of societal pressures and asked that people are certain beyond all reasonable doubt before going into marriage. He warned couples not to go through with marriages if they become uncertain before walking down the aisle. Citing his wedding as an example, the father-of- four revealed that he had a moment of doubt before he tied the knot but had to go through with it for fear of what people will say.[/b]
The guy's submissions pretty much says a bit of it.
