Marriage is considered one of the greatest human relations and marital duty of every individual. A practice existing for centuries before the birth of civilisation. Different religions with their definitions of marriage inscribed in the holy book. Has civilisation grew among populace of earth which also influence the way people engage in marriage and it meaning.

I grew up knowing marriage as a union between husband and wife, family, entities and organisation. regardless of it nature and practice, it became clearer to me that less emphasis are placed on degree of affection between the couple's, the measure of compatibility of a couple among many other things has never been about love. though different individuals have different ways of ensuring both couples are compatible before marriage, through spiritual means and individual or family asset display, depending on the agenda of both families.

In this present generation, the practice and concept of marriage has become chaotic and unethical unlike how it was practiced honourably in the olding days. As days goes by case and issues of divorce sky rocket to the extent that I find myself thinking about the reasons behind this union in this first place. There are a lot of reasons behind the cause of divorce but most importantly I'm interested in the reason for marriage

Though a lot of people disagree with my perspective of marriage, which they consider to be delusional but I still continue to believe that marriage is a choice not a necessity. I strongly believe the reason behind the union between husband wife will eventually dictate how it will end.

Sadly in this present generation or century we have a lot of people getting married for the wrong reasons such as peer pressure, parental influence, monetary and properties ownership, kinship e.t.c. Without considering that marriage is a life long journey between a husband and wife, without significant or tangible reason for union between spouse, when other reasons such as money eventually fades away, eventually the desire to remain United fades away also.
In my hometown, there is a trending act called single mothers or baby mama. in the olding days this act was considered immoral and unethical among couples, I do not blame all women who end up finding themselves in a relationship with irresponsible man but for some they are very aware of the state of mind of their spouse before getting married to them, most especially in this era when men get involved in explicit act in order to get money and this is a major magnet that attract most men depriving them from thinking about the future a union with some who lies for a living

On the long run, they make themselves and their children victims of unhealthy union as a result of their greed for things that glitters.

Recently, I have grown to despise marriage due to its abusive nature and how it is practiced nowadays, I see a lot of young men and women and children who are victims of unhealthy marriages that could have been avoided, which got me thinking, Does it really worth it?

DOES IT REALLY WORTH IT?

Though I'm not married, when it comes to marriage I have a conflicting interest and opinion. the matters of it worth can only be determined by those who are actually married, experience speaks better. though from my opinionated perspective the worth of marriage depends on the purpose it serve in an Individual life. may be one day if I eventually get married, by then I guess I will figure out the purpose.
