That you choose to stay unmarried does not depreciate the overall and priceless value of marriage.

You are yet to give reasons why you believe marriage has a priceless value as against staying single. Give reasons ...valid ones and don't play on sentiments. Please remember that the validity of arguements can be eroded by assumptions such as the one made on my marital status. Many thanks

1 thing I can never do is marry a girl that isn't intelligent.


You should be engaging and know how to talk about global issues and politics.

I come from a family where everyone is smart/overachievers and constantly talk about politics, business and global events Now how will my girl fare if she isn't knowledgeable, will she just keep mute in a family gathering.

I've met nice and caring girls but they didn't know how to talk, weren't even engaging and couldn't talk about world affairs or give opinions about business.

imagine having a wife that doesn't have any idea about anything or can't help you with ideas to grow your business. it's not compulsory for you to have all the degrees in the world but at least you be knowledgeable and smart
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SMART!!! I will have financial challenges, I'lll need to go further in career and I'll need to talk to my wife. I don't need a wife that's only bred for the kitchen but don't know how to make a career with her man (Michelle Obama). Bro I wonder when Nigerian girls will look beyond makeup and cars and get a life

Apparently, your position is "In this age it is better to stay unmarried." My inference about your marital status was hypothetical and rightly so which is in tandem with your assertion. Recall that my proposition "That you choose to stay unmarried" does not necessarily imply that you are unmarried. It is a conditional statement that alludes to your position. Therefore, it is no assumption because the statement was made on the back of a sufficient reason contained in your position.

And as for valid reasons for marriage, go through my article again and preceding reply to you. Perhaps, your bias toward marriage renders you blind to see the validity of my exposition on the subject. Preconceived opinions can do a lot of harm to objective consideration.

Read extensively; never cease doing so. Listen and watch educative TV programmes and news. Always endeavour to know the meaning of strange words you encounter in the process. Lastly, ask God for wisdom.
Yes that's true, being current is the best way. Curiousity is what drives me a lot of time

Marriage seems to be overrated because of the misconception that it is fraught with. But in fact, marriage is a very important and relevant institution. It goes beyond copulation and having a spouse just for the sake of it. Marriage is a union of not just two persons but of their purposes and destinies; a unanimous resolve to explore life in its entirety together. My brother, that's a serious matter deserving of a high rating.
It's not that important, people can live without it

Spot on @Op.

I sometimes ask if people know the gravity of the union? 'My mates are marrying, my mates are marrying' shouldn't be a reason to marry.

I saw the series 'Billions' and I knew that for what ever reason marrying a smart woman is an absolute necessity. where conversations are not centered on 'have you eaten? ' 'where are you now?'

Marriage is like managing a football team. You know the kind of formation that would guarantee you results, and so you recruit players specific for that kind of play. Recruit the wrong players and you will never smell some level of glory like a coach in north London.

Of course, some people can decide and live without it but not all. That certain persons do not fancy marriage does not displace it as an integral part of the human society. It is misplaced when some people in contrast to current realities downplay marriage out of their own discontent. For instance, since Mr. A reckons marriage is not that important and is overrated, then that is a viewpoint everyone shares thus making marriage entirely inconsequential. Such overgeneralization is irrational and just intolerable.

It's just your style of writing. Take this your question for instance, you could have said; what don't you like about my writing? Why the displeasure, is too mechanical or colloquial.

I felt the same way. Article is full of unnecessary words, which makes it hard to understand. The article also lacks clarity. Is he saying marriage is good or bad? I should not stress my brain to understand what is being said.
Well, maybe the article is not for mumu like me but for intellects.

if one doesn't like something, doesn't that entail one is displeased with the thing in question? How is that mechanical, colloquial or not a formal literary word? Are you sure you really know what those terms you used mean? More so, "it's just your style of writing" is a circular answer that does no justice to my enquiry about reservations.

In as much as I value constructive criticisms, it is clear you have no clue about your claimed shortcoming in the above article, hence your struggle to articulate it. You seem to be bent on discrediting the article, which is hypocritical of one that purports to have high regards for literary propriety. Destructive criticism is as grievious as persecution of the innocent.

Those "unnecessary words" may be another's key to deep understanding; one man's poison could be another man's food. Also, the article is meant for intellectuals like you; maybe there was a gap in understanding while you read.

The article says marriage is a good thing, but frowns at the widespread misplaced perception of it as a paradise, where happily ever after prevails. It reminds us of the seriousness of marriage, a journey that contains hurdles. Conclusively, the piece calls for those outside marriage to be ever conscious of its realities and those inside to handle such realities the right way.

What a lame embarrassing attempt to impress with unnecessary words cheesy Go back and study what conditional statements are and how they are applied and match it with yours. If you are smart enough you will understand the gaffe you made in your bid to construct a supposedly hypothetical statement.

Why do I find your last comment very funny? grin grin grin grin

Oh, thanks for the compliment.

Back to your article. I can see that you have a passion for writing and you are good with vocabulary. But, I think, when writing, you should think about your readers.

Who is this article meant for? Intellects or a single guy who might be interested in knowing more about marriage.

In writing, clarity, simplicity and elegance is important.

Well, as you said, quite rightly, one man's food is another man's poison.

Keep on writing, though.
