Marriage
is a hallowed relationship ordained by God. Two people who love each other make
a vow to remain together for life. It is a huge step in a person’s life that
should not be toiled with.
Marriage
is the bedrock of the human
civilization and the institution upon which the continuation of the human race
lies. Because of this important reason,
it ought to receive the greatest attention it deserves, but this is not the
case presently.
The
percentage of successful marriages to failed ones, are unbelievable. I do not
need to bore you with the actual figures but believe you me it is a source of
worry for every progressive person. Hence something must be done to arrest this
deteriorating state of affairs. To achieve this and arrest the impunity with
which marriages crash nowadays, a case for lasting marriage has to be made.
The
following subheadings will enable us to do just that and prove that remaining married
is non negotiable. Marriage is a blessing, marriage creates synergy, and
marriage is for companionship, it curbs various social vices, it is for procreation,
and it is a platform for nurturing excellent children. It helps in the creation
of order in the society and builds role models and better citizens.
Marriage
is a blessing
From
the religious point of view finding a wife is a good thing as the man is said
to obtain favour from God. A blessing is the conferring of prosperity or
happiness. Marriage is what will confer prosperity and happiness to the couple.
Marriage
creates Synergy
Couples
work together in all spheres of endeavour to create a better lifestyle and a
paradise on earth in their home. Couples give each other both emotional and
financial support.
Marriage
is for companionship
There
is no doubt that Man cannot live alone hence a companion in the person of a
woman is great compliment to the man on this planet. Couples give each other wise
counsel, a listening ear, warmth in bed, play together and create a bond that makes
it difficult for them to be apart.
It
curbs social vice
Parents
are the greatest examples for their children, so it is appropriate for them to
model excellent relationships. If they
do so, many social vice such as senseless killings, murders, prostitution,
homosexuality, cheating, stealing, broken homes, corruption, bad government
etc, can be reduced to the barest minimum.
You
may be wondering how all those vices listed above, can be stopped totally or
reduced by marriage. The answer is that children will grow up one day to be
fathers and mothers. If they grow up in dysfunctional homes, then the society
will be afflicted with the pains they carry in their hearts leading to wrong
doing.
It
is for Procreation
Marriage
is for the procreation of the human race on this earth. Without marriage
mankind will soon be extinct. This is the most important reason for Mans
existence amongst other equally vital reasons. Hence, the home must be conducive
for this very important task to go on unhindered.
It
is a platform for nurturing excellent children
Without
marriage I doubt if balanced well behaved children can be brought up. It is in a marriage setting, that care, love,
discipline and moulding of children can better be carried out.
It
creates order in the society
Behaviour
of the adult population in a society can be measured by the kind of marriages
it has. Marriages ensure that the highest levels of moral standards are
maintained by couples. Thus creating a
stable and orderly society where Law abiding and morally sound adults hold each
other accountable.
Marriage
builds role models and better citizens
Role
models can only emerge from secure homes. Stable homes are happy homes which arise
from happy marriages and breed better citizens. Happy
marriages therefore create role models and better citizens. To multiply role
models and better citizens in our communities multiply happy marriages.
From
the above, we can see clearly how inextricable, prosperity on all fronts is
tied to marriage. Let’s strengthen the institution to create happiness and
prosperity in our lives.
