Is Marriage an Achievement? A Frequently Asked Question
The benefits of marriage cannot be overemphasized. The fact that people marry for some reasons or purposes simply means that marriage can make someone meet certain goals in life.
The Cambridge dictionary defines achievement as something successful, or that is achieved after a lot of work or effort. It also means something remarkable that has been done or achieved as defined by the Collins dictionary. The verb "achieve" means "to successfully bring about or reach (a desired objective or result) by effort, skill, or courage".
Before one can conclude whether marriage is an achievement or not, one needs to answer the following questions:
2. Does marriage bring a sense of fulfillment?
3. Does marriage add value to some people’s lives?
4. Are there people who accomplished something greater as a result of marriage?
5. Are there people who constantly wish they were married?
6. Is there anything to gain in marriage?
The Answer to all the above questions is “YES”.
If finding a partner was a challenge, then meeting someone you desired can bring a sense of fulfillment. Many have been able to further their studies, start a business or achieve greater things through a combined effort with their partners.
Some people wish they were married, and even have to go farther to the point of fasting and publicizing their grievance, some even get into depression. Yes, there is a lot to gain in marriage. But this does not answer the controversial question about whether marriage is an achievement or not.
Whether something is an achievement or not depends on an individual. A man who has built a hundred mansions for himself may not see building a hut as an achievement, but a homeless fellow would glorify his little acquired hut.
Take a college degree for instance. Many feel they have achieved something after graduation; however, not everyone benefits from the certificate, they spent many years to achieve. Therefore, your perspective about marriage depends on your sense of judgment.
The fact that marriages fail is not enough premise to condemn marriage and its role in the society; after all, businesses fail too.
