lol. Oga, It was not a fete. I really wasn't arguing to win you. I was only arguing to refute and help dispel the erroneous notion - ''marriage completes the man/woman" and also learn from your argument.

We disagree to agree. Don't take it too personal. I'm still 'a follower'. Do have a lovely Night.

[size=15pt]But come to think of it.

To my anti-marriage feminists. Marriage is joy and strength of a woman.

Show me a single successful woman. NONE. I am not talking about female celebrities who are into semi-prostitution.

I am talking about powerful women. They are all married.

Hilary Clinton - is married. Despite her husband cheating on her, she still stayed in the marriage. She nurtured her marriage and she got to places. To get to place of power, you need to show the world you have a family and you are responsible. No singleton will be taking serious.

Angela Merchella (German Prime minister) - She is married

Mention a powerful woman in the society, you will see she is married.

All these lopsided writeups to dissuade/discourage women from marriage is just out of it.

Even a comic character like Kim Kardashian is not joking with her family

[size=18pt]Angela Merkel is married for the second time. She divorced her first husband. I guess, she would suffer from social stigma if it was Nigeria and would have never been elected to the highest office as a divorcee. Right?

Christine Lagarde is divorced.

Mother Teresa has never been married.

Oprah Winfrey has never been married.

Park Geun-hye, the current president of South Korea, is single.

I could go on but I guess it is enough to show that what you said up there (see red) is WRONG. [/size]

A Lady after reading this:



Lady: Oh, I love this. Thanks MizMyColi, I just wish our ladies will learn.

Then she receives a message from boo.

Boo: Are you free? Let's hang out.

Lady: Oh! I love this. Thanks boo.


So she goes out with boo, straffs him all night and everything she read wipes out automatically.


And everything still remains thesame.




BTW, the op failed to realize that marriage increases a man's or a woman's worth too. I don't care who you are or what you have achieved, if you are single then you are incomplete.


And What's with people and their recent attack on marriage btw? Is marriage the only institution that is failing?

Nothing on earth is better than a blessed marriage, it's an achievement on its own, the reason most fail is is our sin.

It is sin that will make a man to hit his woman. It is sin that will make a man see a woman as a lesser being, it's sin that will make a man to cheat on, beat or mistreat his woman in any way. Same thing goes for the woman.


Listen, if we all should repent and follow God's guidelines for marriage then believe you me that marriage will become the best thing on earth.



I know that people will misunderstand me here but I am only responsible for what I mean, not what they understand.


First thing first, a single man is a lonely man and loneliness is an awful thing; it is emptiness, incompleteness, lack of communion, lack of personal companionship. Loneliness is the lack of opportunity to share yourself with someone who understands. If you don't have that person, you are incomplete.

You quoted Bible first so let's rub mind there too, a woman was created to be a helper suitable for man, compatible with him spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. She is his complement, providing what he lacks and fulfilling his potential.

How woman was created: God took a rib out of the man and from it made a woman. While he created man out of the constituents of soil, he made woman out of man. She is part of him. In fact, she has part of him, and man is incomplete until he gets that part back in the person of a wife.


You mentioned 19th century, bro does it mean that the purpose of marriage then and now are no longer the same? If yes then who changed it?




Though I have replied you before but I want you to understand something, for what it's worth.

A single man is incomplete unless he has the divinely bestowed gift of celibacy! The Bible teaches that celibacy is a special gift from God which is sometimes bestowed on a man or woman when the single status would permit him or her to be more effective in the service of Jesus Christ.

It's a special calling for a special purpose.

MrLouisVanGaal1:


You are probably between 19 and 25. A time where a young lady can be wild and free and say things like 'i don't need marriage' 'i don't need a man'. in 5, 10 or 20 years time when you would achieved all you want in life, shut out everyone mocking you for still being single, you will then sit and realize you are an emotional creature. Emphasis on emotional. At that time you will know what the word 'void' means in the dictionary and then you will fully understand what a ring and a Mrs completing you actually meant. Not the naive, girlish understanding you have now. It's funny how one of your champions Beyonce never gave that ring a second thought and she even brags with the name Mrs Carter.

Although the bolded is true and to some extend it's even more ardous to perform domestic chores than conventional jobs but it's hardly possible to equate money-making to anything else in life, especially in a capitalist world we live in. Wealth naturally makes people assume power and dominion over others so the majority of family fanancier will likely feel they have dominion regardless of the significance the other party (housewife) feel their contribution to the union may be.

Prior to the advent of feminism and it resultant effect to some part of the world women traditionally played the role of a housewife but not until they started attaining education and making progression in topical profession, making their own money, even as they boycotted the mentality of a breadwinner before egalitarianism could make waves and progress.

The role of domestic chores and babysitting can be assume by either partner who's not working, male or female alike or split by both which I find more acceptable. But the mentality that a man should be the financial contributor in a /relationship/marriage would not help the feminism struggle in a patriarchal setting like ours on women's path. Chances are that anyone who foot the bills will always feel they're in control.

MrLouisVanGaal1:


This is the problem with the op and it is a problem with many girls. They possess a constant need to remind themselves of their worth so as to give their low self esteem a lift. These types of women survive off places like the Internet. They have no life off it. They constantly need attention from guys who will surely give it to them abundantly on the Internet. They are not happy people but use all the long essays and articles like this to comfort themselves and create a false sense of worth. Once this article is past, she'll return to her usual shell of self pity and on a good day after sobbing over her boring life, she creates another self inspiring article. Its a cycle n u can see from the topics created

How do people sleep at night with so much bile and hatred in their system.
What good does it do you to speak so erroneously of someone you do not know.
Are you not a human being.
Don't you have your low days?
Are you always feeling happy go lucky every now and then?
Let's even assume that I am currently or almost always sad (which I know to be a lie from the pit of hell), is it not human to be that way? Let's also assume that I wrote that piece (which is equally not true), is it your business what I do to make myself feel happy and good?

What exactly is your aim for trying to put me down?
To despise me? To make me feel hurt?
What kind of human being does that?
Isn't that the basest form of heartlessness and thoughtlessness?


I reject every form of negativity which you are trying so hard to make yourself and others like you believe is my reality.
I reject it! I am not sad. I am at peace. I love the woman that I see in the mirror daily. I will do exploits


I do not have it all together, and that's okay.
If I did, there would be no reason to live anymore. Life itself is a journey, and I embrace it...warts and all.

I affirm that I am a work in progress, I know that God is not through with me yet. Am I perfect? No. But I know the one in whom I have believed. For that I will raise my head up, and I will look the world in the face, with joy and peace encompassing all of my being. Will there be those days when I feel downcast and my head dropped? Yes. But I will yet rejoice because he is the lifter of my head. On this path to perfection, I will enjoy every bit of it, I will take each day at a time. The process will be more important to me, than the result.

We are pressed continually to think, feel and be a certain way
And condemned when we fall short, labeled and ridiculed
But yet I say its okay
Why? Because I know who I am and I know what defines me
I know that I am whole, complete. Lacking? Not me
So when "flaws" appear and past traumas make my heart race
I do not reach for them with a shovel but with a hug I embrace
And pour love, compassion and patience on every inch, bit and trace
And discovery, understanding and growth are birthed from this atmosphere of grace.
So I don't have it all together and that's okay
My life is one of learning and transformation and that's all that really matters. Come what may.

On this note young man, I wish you well.
I pray for you, I bless you.
For every negativity you have projected at me in thoughts and in words, I project positivity and blessings. I know the one in whom I have believed.
Blessed beyond curse, Love and Light rules.

coolviv:
Well from what I know, men are not exempted from this marry or you are not complete mentality. The only difference is that they have a little more time than women before the pressure sets in.

This is why it is rare to see a 40 year old successful bachelor that is respected. Once you reach that age range, the next thing you hear is why is he not married? Is he a ritualist? Is he impotent and can not get a woman? Something must be wrong somewhere for him to still be single at this age with all this money, etc. Let me not even go into what his mother and family members will start doing, marrying a wife for him from his village...or worse.

Even let him be married then have no children from the first wife...next thing is he is sterile...God help him his family pursues the first wife and he marries a second one who does not get pregnant....hmm mm that is the end of his life ooo. In fact. .In most cases such a man ends up committing suicide. Women are already built to withstand so much but a man's ego can not withstand the things some women have had to swallow and still survive.

So my dear women, no human being has it easy....its just different levels of issues and opinions provided by society. That is why a woman can be a housewife and still be respected but a man dare not be a house husband or he ll be ridiculed endlessly.
.

That's just the way the world is

I'm in awe at times.

The men in my life as far as I'm concerned are the best thing since sliced bread.
Ever supportive and tolerant of me especially during my low days.

I wonder still.
But it is well sha.
