Marriage Is Gradually Losing Its Relevance by uche87(m): 5:24pm On Apr 15 |
Going by the market trends, marriage/relationship advisers and others profiting from related fields might be going out of business in the coming years. If you are making money from that industry, your days might be numbered, and this is not a threat. This is because people’s disposition towards marriage is changing globally. The United States for example has witnessed a 60% drop in the rate of marriage since the 1970s according to a CNBC report. The numbers also remain disturbing in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and other notable countries across the world. The data from Africa is not reliable, but the continent might be sticking to its guns for cultural and religious reasons, I suppose. At a certain age, a young adult is coerced to get married by his/her parents or the community. The pressure might be subtle and low, but it is sustained.

uche87:The business of marriage is in jeopardy because it is no longer as competitive as it used to be. The benefits that used to separate the married from the competition are no longer apparent — or even of value— and as such the attraction continues to diminish. ![]() 17 Likes 3 Shares |

What really is marriage? Marriage is the "legal" joining of two people, but I go further to say that without the presence of offsprings, is marriage really a necessity? With the influx of single mothers and deadbeat dads in our society, it's no surprise that emotionally damaged children are being mass-produced. Removing one of either parent from the lives of children simply because it is comfortable, is a master plan to speedrun the destruction of society. 98 Likes 2 Shares |

What exactly is the attraction for marriage now? Loneliness? Life is no longer as boring as in the 60's (u can now create your own fun in your own bedroom) Procreation? With the advent of baby mamas we've realized it's cheaper and easier to get children without marriage Sex? U can simply get sex now with small change without even stressing yourself. Cooking? . With technology u can order any food of your dreams in 30mins or less. Domestic chores? U can simply get a maid or machines to do basic chores. Many of the past incentives for marriage are now outdated plus all the TERRIBLE news we hear/read daily. Marriage is no longer as marketable as before 136 Likes 16 Shares |

If people's first and best love was their spouses, and if the first love of their spouses was them, and if their first ever sex experiences was between them and their spouse in marriage; and the first ever sex experience of their spouses was with them in marriage. And if husbands are hardworking, loving teachable and kind, and wives are submissive, teachable and respectful, maybe marriage will be better... 102 Likes 9 Shares |

Lots of people (Ladies) miss interpret the through meaning of feminism and that has been a major set back to family life. Once you are being infected with feminism virus family life tends to have no true meaning any more. Most women who are crusaders of the so called feminism don't understand the through concept and applications. 5 Likes |

I couldn't agree less. When I was growing up, having kids out of wedlock was an abomination. Any girl/lady in such a situation is terribly looked down on. But as it seems today, people have undervalued the marriage institutions. Men just want to have kids without being bound to a particular woman. Women are advised to just get a man to impregnate her so she can have children whether the man stays or not. In the next few years, just watch. Humans will start living like animals, just f^ck anyone and have children, no sacred commitment 34 Likes 1 Share |

Kindly be specific sir... The world doesn't begin and end in Europe, Canada and United States. For proper perspective, the institution of marriage in the West has lost its value due to their matriarchal nature, LGBTAIA+++ and others that are against family values. However, marriages in Africa, Middle East, Russia, Asia and several other conservative societies have remained intact due to the presence of these family values that are lacking in so-called liberal societies. You cannot be in UK or Canada and expect a marriage to be like when you were in Nigeria or Ghana. This is the reality, Japa has its downside. Liberal societies don't give a damn about family values, unlike conservative societies. Cheers 91 Likes 12 Shares |

Poverty is the cause why marriage is loosing relevance, this is because entitlement girls are the remaining we have outside now. Whereby entering into relationships is like venture to them Since their parent can’t take care of them they believe someone’s son will do what their parent can’t do therefore guys are not ready to marry girls that have no future, girls that can’t make impact and they are the ones remain in our society now 26 Likes 1 Share |

Well, I think it's because people don't go into relationships with the right motives these days. Also, most people are not really prepared for it; they rush in, and that's why they always rush out. In all, nothing beats choosing the right partner. Don't oversize; choose your size and be content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hSDLYk0Zb4 This is an eye opener, know what you want in any relationship; marriage or just friendship. Always have a clear definition and be straight forward.....this guy here knew what he wanted and made his move. I know some of you will say this can't happen in Nigeria, but it's all about making the right moves. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
