@"Marriage Is a Scam"

 @"Marriage Is a Scam"

The institution of marriage has long been a cornerstone of human relationships, representing commitment, companionship, and mutual growth. Yet, in contemporary discourse, there is a growing sentiment that “marriage is a scam.” This assertion, often fueled by personal experiences of failed unions, deserves careful examination. Just as a car accident does not render all vehicles unworthy of use, a failed marriage does not delegitimize the essence and value of marriage itself.

📌Why Marriage Is Worth Pursuing

Marriage is a unique bond that intertwines two lives in ways that elevate both individuals. The companionship, emotional security, and shared purpose it provides are irreplaceable. The adage “two are better than one” holds true: a successful marriage fosters support in times of need, amplifies joy, and creates a stable environment for raising children.

Furthermore, the benefits of marriage extend beyond the emotional realm. Studies reveal that married individuals tend to experience better mental health, greater financial stability, and a longer lifespan. Marriage, when approached with mutual respect and understanding, offers a partnership that enriches life, creating a safe harbor in a world that can often be tumultuous.

📌Debunking the “Marriage Is a Scam” Mentality

It is easy to dismiss marriage as a scam when one has experienced or observed its challenges. Failed marriages, infidelity, or incompatibility can leave scars that cloud judgment. However, these isolated instances do not define the institution as a whole.

Blaming marriage for individual shortcomings or mismanagement is akin to discarding all medicines because of a single adverse reaction. The problem often lies not in marriage but in the unrealistic expectations, poor communication, or lack of preparation brought into it.

Similarly, narratives such as “all men are devils” or “no woman is good” stem from personal biases and limited experiences. Such generalizations ignore the diversity and complexity of human behavior. The right partner exists, but finding them requires patience, discernment, and self-awareness.

📌Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of Marriage

Marriage, like any partnership, is not devoid of challenges. It involves two individuals with unique backgrounds, values, and perspectives coming together. Naturally, this fusion can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. However, these hurdles are not insurmountable. With effective communication, mutual respect, and a commitment to growth, couples can navigate these challenges and emerge stronger.

Contrastingly, the alternative to marriage—loneliness—comes with its own set of consequences. Prolonged loneliness can trigger socio-emotional, biological, and psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, and a weakened immune system. While singlehood has its advantages, the emotional fulfillment and stability provided by a loving marriage far outweigh the drawbacks of being alone.

📌Conclusion: Marriage Is Not a Scam

The notion that marriage is a scam oversimplifies a deeply complex institution. Marriage, when nurtured with care, offers unparalleled emotional and practical benefits. Dismissing it based on individual failures ignores the potential for love, growth, and fulfillment it provides.

If your experience with marriage has been negative, it does not mean the institution is flawed—it simply means you have not yet found the right partner or the right approach. Just as we do not abandon driving because of a single accident, we should not discard the concept of marriage due to its challenges. In the end, love, partnership, and mutual commitment remain among the most profound and rewarding aspects of human existence. My dear youths, beware of emergency social media counsellors and online unworthy and deficient role models with heavy character deficit who can not stay married because of their own personal failings which they want to force on the society as modern standard. You can celebrate their success in their chosen career but don't copy their shameful lifestyle and thoughtless, warped philosophy. Don't surrender your budding future to their leadership! They live fake and vague! Many of them are regretting their bad marital past and now wish to be married. If truly they are totally fulfilled in their loneliness, they wouldn't be openly declaring their desire to be married again. Don't get it twisted, marriage is desirable! The Maker can't be wrong or drunk when he pronounced that "it is not good for man to be alone"!

Yours in blissful love,
