Babes, what I know is that the guys majority of girls pick in their prime are not the ones for them. They only realise it later when they are older (some damaged).

A good guy is different from a a psycho with good manners.
How can you tell the good guys from the psychos with good manners'' are they not all in the same flesh, carrying the same balls, (with different sizes though) wink wink wink aroundhuh?

The morale of this discussion is that people as a whole should change their ways, especially when it is a bad behaviour, 50% divorce especially in the State is just the beginning, it will continue to climb, because the banana peel that have been used to cover peoples eyes is being removed gently, ''wind don blow,we don dey see fowl yansh''.

The men/ women are getting wiser, nobody wants to settle for nonsense in the marraige, we need to work at it as a couple as a family, if u are a man and not man enough to put a womna in the house and behave yourself, sexually, financially, spritually, physically, morally, socially, economically, even politically, then please remain single by all means. If you are a woman on the other hand who cannot have a courteous disposition towards all and sundry, respectful, loving, humble, financially relevant, moraly upright, good cook, sexually active, spiritually growing (and i don't mean ogbanje rank) then please keep to yourself and do not marry.

Because nobody is ready to manage anyone now, you misbehave, well you will be forgiven maybe up till the umpteenth time, but when it crosses the '' i cannot take this anymore'', the doors would be flung open ';'asta la vista baby'' cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool

I do not think people are really divorcing. I KNOW people are really divorcing because the stats are there.

I KNOW most marriages are not successful based on the divorce stats and my social clairvoyance.

Most marriages fail! I am not going to bury my head in the sand and live on lululand because someone wants a fairytale.

If I was to give just a tip of some of the reasons marriages fail before it even starts.

Women: Ignoring good guys in their prime and then when they are losing it become ATMs (Anxious To Marry) and then rush into marriages with a guy "that will do". Very few woman can claim to have married the guy they fancied most in their life.

Men: Chasing women like fooools and ending up with women that don't love them but ones that "love the way he loves her". And when he can't show her that attention or sustain it, she loses interest because she never really loved him. If a girl does not like you from the first few interactions, leave her the FCK alone!

Kai! O she maths now? Abi you be one of those Arts students that ran from maths?

20% is 20 out of 100, L'Oreal! tongue grin
I actually hated maths, ok grin grin grin grin grin grin, yep arts all the way.

Those reasons you gave are not reasons at all,  how do you know the guy they ignored in their ''prime'' is a good guy?? what f that same good guy who marries another woman, turned out to be the one that killed his wife, butchered her to pieces, abi the good one that left his 8 months pregnant wife to bleed to death, or the good man who has become a serial cheat, nothing in skirts satisfies him, or the ''good guy who is using his wife as a punching bag and abuses her both physically and verballyhuh?

You need to start thinking outside the box'' of atm milking ladies'' and start looking at the bigger picture

1. Are you saying you vouch for the marriages in China, India or whatever as happy ones or they are more a social responsibility? In societies where all the parties are free, would they still be married?

2. The percentage of stay in marriage for the sake of it is high. I can say confidently that most likely less than 20% of marriages are happy and everlasting. There are several women staying in miserable marriages for financial reasons or low confidence because they know they are unlikely to get knew partners or even a better deal than what they have already. They see some of their friends alone that have divorced and can't find a new partner and stick with their miserable marriages and hope they can change it.

3. It is clear. You have answered my question. So your saying some people regret their divorce is irrelevant when discussing failed marriages. So this argument is really redundant:
Why do you think people are really divorcinghuh? what do you think is their reasons for divorcinghuh I do not vouch for those marraiges but i think they have more reasons to stay in the marraiges than to leave, and i believe those that leave have more reasons to leave than to stay,.

2. you are right with the reasons why some people actually remain in marraiges, but i do not agree with you with the rate, smiley you want to tell me that only 2 lets say out of a 100 marraiges are really enjoying their marraigeshuh

3. of course it is relevant, the marraige is still a failure, whether they regret it or not, the marraige has failed, would have been better if they had stayed and worked it out, but crying after the head is gone, makes no sense, and that was just me saying, not everyone who is divorced is happy and jubilating that he/she is really divorced, some wished they never did. some that are married now to other spouses, would see little or no differences from their first marraige

No 1, do you agree with the public statistic that 50% of marriages end up in divorce or are you disputing it?

No 2, do you acknowledge the logic that their are several couples out there that are in unhappy marriages but refuse to divorce because of one reason or another?

No 3, are you saying someone that has divorced that is regretting it later has not had a failed marriage?
1. that figure applies to the marraiges in the States, we both know that the divorces rates differ from country to country.
At least that of China is at present 20% and in india, is around 1 out of 1000 marraiges, i can't really find a percentage in Nigeria, but Kano state is said to have the highest rate of divorce in Nigeria.

2. Of course, some marraiges are nothing to write-home about, while others are everything to write home about and i will not say that percentage is high either.

3. Your number three question is not clear, anybody divorced has automatically had a ''failed -marriage'', some people regret it, while others are glad they did, depending on the circumstances that led to the seperation in the first place.

50% of marriages fail. More of those that do not fail are filled with miserable people just hanging on.

Hence, majority of marriages are useless.

I am not saying you should not have faith.

But don't sit down depending on faith and then pointing fingers at others as irresponsible for not following your blind action and then say your name is "Analytical". What the fck did you analyse!
Nope i still do not agree with you that majority of the marraiges have failed, i know people who are enjoying their marraiges, i don't know the type of marraige you are personally looking for, but as long as the couple understands themselves and are in that relationship for the ''right reasons'' it will definitely survive. Most of those with the so-called failed marraiges, wished silently that they never left, will they come out and say how or what they feel, never? but because 5 of your uncles and friends are living a lie, does not mean that all other people are. smiley smiley smiley smiley

Faith only works well with ''works'', sitting down and having faith is useless, having it and working towards a positive result makes it more useful than you may think.

Del boy is a likeable conman that sells things to people under dubious pretense it is something else.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Boy

Lying to me that many marriages are successful is a Del Boyish tactic.

If you refuse to use the majority of failed marriages as part of your assessment of marriage, then you are burying your head in the sand, which is exactly my point. Most people, like Analytical, bury there head in the sand and are telling people like me to join them to look under the sand.

So you are using "faith"? What is responsible in using faith?

Majority of the other 50% are people who refuse to admit the fact the marriage has failed or have adapted to the ills of it. Only very few minority have a good marriage.

So what is responsible about committing your life to something that mostly fail.
Sagalulu!!! many marraiges are successful oooooo, just because you do not want to personally believe it does not make it a lie, many marraiges are successful i repeat it again and again. smiley

I am not using the failed marraiges as part of my assessment only because some are divorced for the wrong reasons both insane and selfish reasons (especially in the western countries), they see it as 'marking the register just to answer 'present'' in the world of marraige, they really do not understand what it entails, they think it is all about ''live happily ever after''.

Why not faith? what is so irresponsible about having faith? is tomorrow guaranteed?? don't you hope and have faith that you would see tomorrow? do you know how many people will die or be born tomorrow? we don't, we sleep and have that certainty (faith) that we will see tomorrow (for me, By God's Grace) [ don't know what/who you believe in though). So nothing is guaranteed, we are optimistic that we will survive, optimistic that one day we will be great (hence the education and all what is), optimistic that we will live large, it is all about having a positive attitude, why not have that towards marraige?

Many?

That is why we get so many divorced single mothers?

That is why there is 50% divorce rates minus all those unhappily married?

Are you Del Boy's sister?

What is responsible about putting your hope in something with over 50% failure rate?

What is responsible about it when you personally have even had some that had failed in the past? Because I can only assume most people have dated others before marrying?

Don't give me the junk Analytical was giving o. Logic please!
Yes many,  who is Del boy?? Why do you think the divorce rates are higher than what it used to be in the past?? and still we have marraiges that have been and still going strong, i personally would not use the yardstick of other failed marraiges to measure my own. Where is that will to have a lasting marraige,?? where is the faith that one can actually have a lasting ,marraige??
The 50% of single mothers are usually not due to failed marraiges, but instead lack of it, many men with the ''i can keep a woman in the house and not marry her legally'' mentality have thrown some of these women out back into the streets because they think they have found ''the one''.

Like someone pointed out earlier, marraige is not for babies, but the matured at heart, you know what yopu are getting yourself into by tying the knot, so i will preach perseverence ( and that is not at all cost though, when one's life is threatened), marraige is not going to be a bed of roses without thorns, there would be difficulties, happy moments and sad moments, but the two shall be one, helping eachother through the storms of life.

what of the other 50%?? can't the other 50% be successful? why can't your own be among the 50% successful marraiges.?

This guy just continues chatting irritating rubbish.

So what if the principles that kept them for 30 years has disappeared? You want everyone to live in your lululand and ignore reality?

And since no one is perfect that means you admit no one will get a perfect spouse?

So you are living on hope then?

What is so responsible about tying your life to hope?
No one will get a perfect spouse!!! but many will get good, respectable, dependable, irresistible, charming, loving, godly, neat, caring spouses, and that is just a few out of the many qualities.it is more about faith not hope, more of faith and less of hope.

Coogar, how did they end up with whores as housewives? Reasonable other halves abound if you do your diligence to seek him/her! But most people won't. Who goes to buy something and won't seek for good ones to buy? There is seeking to be done in before committing to marriage.

OP is not only scared of the woman he might end up with, he is also scared of commitment. He is not sure if marriage is worth it and asked for reasons why it is. Read his posts very well. For your information marriage is practical and requires mutual hardwork and commitment for it to blossom. Mine is in it's 11th year and we are just changing to the 2nd gear! wink

Lets imagine they do not crave it after marriage, I don't think the fact they stop craving it after marriage in any way increases the benefit for the man. I say a matter of fact, I think it makes it even worse for the man. So I really don't get the argument.

Women want the grand marriage.

Women tend to feel more complete with kids.

Women need the company more.

Women need the long-term emotional security a tie-in brings.

Women prefer the monogamy.

In the West, women benefit more if it breaks down.

Women benefit more from marriage.

That is not to say men do not or can not benefit.
Duh!!!!! that is why we are 'wo-men' smiley smiley smiley, everything about them is extra! extra!!, yes you guys might be right in the fact that women might enjoy the marraige a little more than the men, it is so, nothing can be done about it.
