1trillionlikes:[quote author=Tallesty1 post=38593662]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? First, I am not a 'bro'. You mentioned that a single man is a lonely man, I guess that comes with being-a-guy. Are you saying every person that is married is complete? Since you mentioned that a man is incomplete until he gets a wife. Cos I know people that are lonely even in marriage. The 19thC stuff; over the years, there's bin a change in the view of marriage. It's not before. Ppl are more likely enlightened Sorry I said u live in 19th C. that's kinda harsh. |

Epaul:Stop jumping to premature conclusions sir. I placed it there to serve as a response to others that intend to ask me the same or similar questions. Listen. We may dislike marriage because many are ending up in divorce, but marriage has an invisible magnet, a universal pull that brings human beings of like mind and soul together. Something tells me that you don't understand what I meant by woman completes a man. Have you ever wondered why we call our significant other our “better half.” ![]() I don't know for certain but I think it may have to do with the loneliness factor and the feeling that one is not whole. 4instance, Adam was complete as himself, but, in the sense of being a part of the human family, he was incomplete. He needed Eve. A woman that sacrificed her entire life to be a part of someone him, she gave him hope and stability and provided him with all that could help him make a family of his own. She also acted as his strength by holding his hand when the times were tough and a beacon of hope when it was dark, she was his therapist when he failed and his councilor when he felt all was lost. She completed him. Husbands turn to wives when they need something or qualities that they might be short on and have experienced suffering due to the lack of it. Two good heads are better than one. Hence, the notion of being completed by a partner. 1 Like 1 Share |

Tallesty1:my friend, I don't often belabour trite points. But since it's clear as a pikestaff you are sort of grappling with incomprehension and come off as a fellow whose opinion is not eclectic but premised solely on a book rifed with very many errors, i will do you the favour. If there is anyone who seem to have a patently glib misunderstanding of the word 'complete', it really should be you. You speciously think 'to complete' is akin 'to complement'. That's spurious Oga. Let me help you with the difference: To complement according to the oxford online dictionary means ''to contribute extra features to someone or something in such a way as to improve or emphasize their qualities" To complete, on the other hand, according to cambridge dictionary means "to make whole or perfect" whenever you say "marriage completes a man", you are actually saying "marriage makes a man whole and perfect" which is infernally wrong. It shows you know next to zilch about what you are talking. Marriage doesn't make us whole. The word 'whole' itself means "complete in itself". Man is whole. He is complete. He only needs people(friends) to complement him, to improve and emphasize his qualities that is. All you have said about being complete - "she gave him hope and stability and provided him with all that could help him make a family of his own. She also acted as his strength by holding his hand when the times were tough and a beacon of hope when it was dark, she was his therapist when he failed and his councilor when he felt all was lost. She completed him..Husbands turn to wives when they need something or qualities that they might be short on and have experienced suffering due to the lack of it. Two good heads are better than one.", are actually to complement the man which can be enjoyed without getting married; which can be enjoyed outside wed-lock by having good friends and a ive siblings in your life; not completing the man. You don't need to get married to be complemented. Having good friends(either male or female) with good qualities will do. I am complete. I have good female chums who have complemented me to bits. I don't need to get married to any of them to be whole. You should be the one to listen! Marriage doesn't complete a man! You cannot complete something that is already complete. You can only complement the thing. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Tallesty1: First of all, not everyone who is alone / single feels lonely. Secondly, there are people who enjoy solitude. Thirdly, there are people who are not fond of too much closeness. Fourthly, was it not Eve who was responsible for Adam's BANISHMENT from PARADISE? |

pickabeau1: Job opportunities: women are universally seen as less competent than men which is sexism at work. Mobility: of course as a girl it's 'abnormal' to travel from place to place even though it's for job purposes so people don't think you're into sex work and also the fact that married women can only move when their husbands decide. Specialisation: they never have time for that because they are supposedly supposed to be married with kids at the said time it takes for that and then a bonus point, a female medical doctor with a specialty with a high rank is often than not seen as a threat and "emasculating" factor. So no, that comment isn't simplistic in any way 3 Likes |

Tallesty1: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.

LastProphet: my brother....does advance in time change the fact that women are the weaker sex. Anatomically, physiologically and psychologically. The moment you understand that being intellectually sound doesn't translate to superiority of the feminine gender. The better your home will be orelse you are just gonna be a paper for the loo in her hands all in the name of equality. |

MizMyColi: 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. 3 Likes |

Let me just add this witty statement from Late Myles Munroe. You are ready to date when you don't need to. In other words, one's readiness for marriage is to the extent to which one feels whole or complete within yourself, apart from any other person(of course, except God). If a crucially deficient being enters into the marriage institution, the entire relationship is built on that deficiency and that's a recipe for marital collapse. Like the OP said, children, especially the female gender should be strategically parented to exhibit self-love, which is a prerequisite for others-love. By the way, someone is wailing about the seeming over flogging of marital issues. Sure, marriage is not the only failing institution. The religious, political, economic, financial, educational institutions are all failing. But, the marriage institution is the principal determinant of the success of these other institutions. Hope you get my point... We simply can't over flogg d issue.. 1 Like |

LastProphet: Is madam single?? Don't deviate from the topic here. Madam needs her wedding ring and her Mrs and if she doesnt have it yet, i can bet that she is either sad in her quiet time that despite all her successes, she has no man to return to to share it with or she's already in the process of getting that man. A woman needs a man in her life..Kapish!!!! Btw hope you are are aware men are easily predisposed to women hence opening up opportunities you a man will work your asss off to get. So women being more successful is usually the perception of the female sex and not necessarily by intelligence or skill. Women get what they want because men and women like them are gonna listen more to them than you and i |
