Marriage is not an achievement




Why do we view marriage as a podium of success where a woman gets a trophy to validate how "woman enough" she is? Why do we look at marriage as an award to declare how successful a woman is?

Marriage is a beautiful and amazing journey but guys, we need to stop seeing it as a goal or accomplishment, because it’s neither of those things.

There is this persistent notion that getting married which I find a hitch is an achievement. My opinion could sound somewhat controversial. Nevertheless, marriage is not an achievement.

I mean, of course l desire to get married one day and yes love is a beautiful thing but marriage is never the recipe for happiness. You can have a successful career and a really awesome life without a ring.

It is weak of you to feel perturbed at the marriage questions thrown at you at dinner parties or weddings. It is not relevant placing too much focus on marriage as being the ultimate achievement; it should not shadow other goals and successes in life.

The problem is, when a society views marriage as an achievement, we make single ladies feel like they are half women if they are not married, we make ladies chase the "trophy of marriage" and so they don't commit to a suitable man but any man who will make that "trophy" achievable, we put pressure on the married woman to act a certain way because society is watching how "successful" she is, we make the women who had to get a divorce for legitimate reasons feel like failures.

But guys, there is more to life than marriage, to feel pressured by other people.

Once again, I must reiterate that getting married is absolutely a huge event, and it could be very exciting to find your “other half.” However, a ring should not define a woman.
