My friend and I were visiting a church sister who had lost a family member when we heard some of the most discouraging things about marriage. I was 19, fresh out of the university and looking forward to who will marry me. Is that not what we were taught to look forward to when we finish school? Besides, I could cook and clean. How could a girl be more ready?
1. You share your life with someone
2. Sex
3. It is a divine idea
4. It teaches love
5. It is healthy for the nation
6. It is healthy for kids
7. You grow up
Go forth and marry/enjoy your marriage!
Do you know any more reasons why marriage is important? Add below!

I've seen good marriages. My father has one and a lot of friends too.. So I don't even entertain negativity about marriage

Being optimistic is the way to go, dear. Especially in today's world where many are so negative.
Nedoux says
Hi Precious,
How've you been?
I love how you wrap your meaningful messages with engaging humour.
@ "That thing" " tontoli tontoli" Lol
The way I see it, marriage becomes worthwhile when one is married to the right person, one who they are compatible with. 100% Love might not necessarily be there at the "I do" stage, but it could grow over time with mutual respect.
My favourite part about marriage is companionship. 🙂
I really learned from this insightful post. Thank you for sharing.
Precious Nkeih says
I'm good Nedoux! This blog has missed you, darling.
When you are married to the right person, it is so worth it. The foundation is really important. I love the companionship bit too.
Thanks for your kind words, darling.
S2C says
Maybe because of my faith sha but I am very optimistic about marriage.
God designed it and I believe that he loves me, so therefore I don't entertain any negativity as Favour said.

When you say "marry yhur best friend", Pls Wht do you mean?
Joy2Endure says
You can share a lot with a friend but there are certain things that only a marriage mate can provide and that is a fact. Some may make up the choice to remain single, others become single by circumstances, nevertheless, despite its thorns, marriage is one of the best gifts of God to his human children and you appreciate it more when you put more effort into it.
I once asked an aunt why she was so negative about marriage, dishing out advice to people any how and I told her if she has marital issues, she should solve it rather than bastardize the institution completely.
The points raised make a lot of sense and your sense of humour very noticebale.
for those of you who are there already, keep making the best out of it.
Precious Nkeih says

Eliz says
Ohhh Pre, this write-up is sooo sweet. Marriage, marriage, one of the best things after recieving the new life of Christ indeed.
Since women like complaining, they'll complain about their marraiges yet they'll not be ready to live coz at the end of the day, the joy in it surpasses the weaknesses.
Marriage is HONORABLE in ALL. So, you even gain more respect as you become Mr/Mrs.
Marriage helps you to be you. You can't pretend in it or be a hypocrite. You are you in marriage.
Thanks again dear for sharing and with lots of humour.
Precious says
You are welcome, dear.
Marriage is truly honorable in all as scripture says. And it reveals the real you! That's so true.

God Bless You

If you really are that very lucky and blessed to be very committed, loving, and caring to one another, then that would really work.

How to meet a real good woman that isn't a Whore. That is the hardest of all for many of us good single men that had been there already. At least, back in the old days most women were very faithful.
Titus mbori says
When we long for marriage without difficulties; remind us that oaks grow in contrary winds and diamond the hardest are made under high pressure.marriage is good and a gift from GOD.
Mike says
Having that special person in your life is very important to share your life with, which is much better than being single and alone all the time. The hardest part of all though is finding the one, especially for many of us single men that are having a very extremely difficult time meeting a good woman to settle down with. Women today have really changed in a very big way from the past unfortunately.
Fact says
The married life is the best of all, especially if you really are very caring, loving, committed, and very compatible with one another. And you can be very intimate with one another anytime you want. Being single and alone all the time is the worst of all.
Precious says
Being single is not the worst. You can still be single and happy/fulfilled.
