People get married for so many reasons;
some don’t even know why they should get married, while some don’t even wish
to. I was opportune to ask a friend this question. And she gave me some reasons
am going to share and you will tell me if she is right or if there are more to
that.
First and foremost, WHAT IS MARRIAGE?
The word marriage has different meaning and
different perspectives. According to the English dictionary, MARRIAGE is a
union between two or more people usually to the exclusion of others. The Bible
defines Marriage as a Holy Union between a man and a woman for eternity in the
presence of God.
But what is the reason behind getting
married? Why is it so important?
According to Kefe Ejoboja (ceo KiKi's Food):
1. People get married for ACCOMPLISHMENT
because everyone gets married at one point in their life and it’s trending,
some people just want to be called married Mr and Mrs. They feel they earn
respect or have an edge over their single peers.
2.
People get married to fulfill
all righteousness, they get married so people will not laugh at them or so that
their parents won’t complain not because they want to, but because they want to
prove someone or something wrong. Most African parents are guilty of pressuring
their children who have come of age to get married either directly or
indirectly.
3.
People get married for Material
benefits; most ladies seek financial security and they believe marrying a
wealthy man would grant them the comfort they desire. They want to experience
the lavish lifestyle and meet up with the women of our time.
4.
People get married because of
Emotions; by emotions I don’t mean love, I mean infatuation, obsessions, lust,
and sometimes pity. They decide with their hearts not their head.
5.
People also get married because
it is ordained by God and thus necessary the fulfillment of one's destiny. God's
plan was for a man and woman to be together for companionship and also for a
woman to be a help meet to man. They need each other to achieve God's plan and
purpose for them.
But how true are her reasons? Are this all
the reason people get married? Or there is more to that you want to add to it
or you have your own different idea?
