Is Marriage An Achievement? by sirjamesjnr(m): 5:30pm On Nov 28, 2021
Has society become too narrow-minded to measure a person's mettle by this stupid and baseless metric?
Marriage has led many to avoidable misery.

What if the person was too busy making a career? They have devoted their important years of life to achieving success. Society will rubbish all your efforts because you chose to build a life.


What if a person possesses clarity of mind and didn't woo anyone just to enter a love marriage zone( so-called area-of-reputation).


What if a person couldn't find a like-minded soul or the one whom he/she can happily bear for the rest of life? ( Not applicable to despo ones)

What if one is too shy to express feelings to his/her beloved?

I value marriage. I want to grow old surrounded by my kids and my wonderful wife. I don't need society to put pressure on me or anyone who wants to make a life for themselves. One has to afford some basic comforts before engaging in the arrangement called marriage. Marriage is a responsibility. Marriage is for the fulfilment, not an achievement.

If you can't find someone you can understand and are compatible with, please don't listen to common norms.
If you rush into marriage you will rush out. Learn from others mistakes don't fall victim.
My point is this, make that move when you are ready. Pursue that career if you must. Have a life before you leave your parents to be with someone son or daughter. I am tired of reading marriage palaver. Btw I am pro-family

Achievement is something which you do against your will power. some of which are
Developing a skill
Book writing
Forming a habbit
Learn to invest money
Photography
Read often
Sleep well e t c

Yes.
Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Nobody: 5:48pm On Nov 28, 2021
The word "Achievement" is relative...
What maybe considered an "achievement" for one, may not necessarily be an achievement for the other...

So for some person's, marriage is probably the biggest achievement of their lives, to others, it's just an action that is birthed due to societal pressure...

Very big achievement
If you can manage a family, then you can manage a company

Yes it's an achievement if it's devoid of poverty.

To manage a company , you need the frame of mind to handle those highlighted items when they are not in your favour
To be able to manage those items efficiently either in marriage or company is an achievement

. They are mutually exclusive. You can manage a company using logic, learned proficiency. Marriage involved love, emotions and maturity.

The reason most companies failed, most times, to effectively manage people, you need a bit of emotional maturity.
Not everything is about logic and competence, staff and even superior who effect your budget are people, individuals not machines

. Haven't you worked with terrible bosses or co-workers but you can't tolerate your girlfriend/ boyfriend excess? You condone it because you want to build a career path( achievement) but marriage is to fulfil what society arranged and package it to look like it's a must.

Re: Is Marriage An Achievement? by Aethiops: 6:46pm On Nov 28, 2021

. The best time to get married is when you feel comfortable and confident in your job and personal life. There isn't necessarily the best age to get married, but there is the best time to get married. I have a fiancée who I have asked her hand in marriage. I believe marriage should be done at a right time but not based on age.
I don't know if I have answered your question.
