Marriage Is Overrated by Amya(f): 9:06pm On Oct 14, 2011
Okay, i've never been married before so what i say here is really not conclusive.
I really think the whole marriage thingy is overrated. People get married because they have to, not because they want to. It's an obligation dictated by the society. If you want to get into society's good books, get married at the right time, have kids and probably be a responsible individual and you are applauded for living the perfect life.

Marriage is not bliss. Marriage does not translate into happiness. Many people i know who got into it with this mentality are living unhappy married lives.

Marriage is just an unnecessary bond between a man and woman till death throws them apart!(not that this applies any longer) but seriously?

Methinks society created this union/bond in other to make the society more harmonious. Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you. Aside this, marriage is in no way beneficial to individuals themselves. And please don't tell the essence of marriage is offsprings. . . .that's total bull****

A well-awarded appraisal of the institution. What alternative would you prescribe for this over-rated obligation though?

You castigated the marriage institution, and then you refused to offer a way forward? If you dont respect it, then choke on it! Why dont you go get married first, and then come back and make a more rational statement!

Me thinks this article is inconsequential in all totality! Arranticus Nonsenticus Nonsenticology!

Marriage is no obligation dictated by the society.it is an institution ORDAINED by GOD!
And just so you know, a lot of people(like me) get married/want to get married because they want to share their beautiful life with someone who in turn want to share his/her not because the have to.

Re: Marriage Is Overrated by emofine(f): 10:48pm On Oct 14, 2011
@ Amya, marriage may be considered conventional and it may be over emphasized but I don't think marriage is "overrated" . . .if anything I believe it's standing has depreciated somewhat and recently been eclipsed in favour of other alternatives . .  . .moreover it's overly employed by naive individuals who marry at a whim hence such marriages generally have a shorter life span and higher occurrences . . . consequently failed ones are often cast in the spotlight. Marriage isn't valued as it once was (in some societies) that's why there's much admiration for couples who have endured till the end. . .


there are people who "want" to be married

there are "happy" marriages

and there are individuals whom marriage has been "beneficial" to


Imagine a society without marriage. . .pure chaos i tell you. Aside this, marriage is in no way beneficial to individuals themselves.

er kinda contradictory methinks undecided
