Few things matter in this journey of life. One of which is not marriage. You can live without it. It is not food. Neither is it breath.

Marriage is the side vegetable helping a dish of rice and chicken to look good. Without it, unlike salt, the meal will taste and satisfy.

If Christ is our example and he never married, man commits no moral offense without marrying.

Indeed it was Paul who recommended marriage for the man who could not control his sexual urges.

Actually, he insists that persons without marriage serve God much more faithfully than those who marry.

He maintains that rather than God, the loyalty and commitment of the married lie with their partners.

Those who employ the unmarried are thankful for it. Their excuses are few and they dispense with assignments easily.

Not so with the married. Their energies are sap from home before they come to work and when they do, they cannot wait to close for funny reasons.

Most great scientists, achievers and dedicated inventors like God, lived solitary lives.

Maybe the Catholics have a point keeping their priest from women.  For all the arguments against them, enviably, they remain, perhaps, the oldest Christian sect with the greatest following, impact and commitment.  Maybe but for marriage, they would not have gotten this far.

It is not difficult to see that marriages are destroying the quality of life itself. Most married men are dying, while others are being directly murdered by their partners.

When you compare a married person to their single partners, the restrictions and limitations of married life make life boring.

Even worse, you cannot get out of marriage when you realize you were wrong. You must die in your error. Like they say “until death do us part.”

Marriage provides no exclusive privilege that the unmarried lack. Not children.

There is no guarantee that marriage will provide anybody with a child. None at all.

People have been married several years without children yet many single people have kids. Not through fornication but artificial insemination which the Bible is yet to comment on.

While scripture is categorical on sex outside marriage, it says nothing against procreation through scientific means.

Most people marry so that their names and legacies can never die. That is sad.

How many of Jesus sons pursued his legacy or bore his name?

The requirement of God for man to procreate was not one compelling everyone to do so. God was saying man has the ability to procreate and may want to do so if he is minded. Does it mean because God gave Adam a wife, without a wife man has sinned? Sure no. It says you may marry.

Of course, there are several other things God urged man to do. Including being fruitful, multiplying and subduing the earth. My question, do I live in sin if my life is less of dominion, fruitfulness and increase? Again it was a gentle reminder that God has given man the potential to increase, dominate, etc. if he wants to.

Marriage has had some usefulness to society. But so has singleness. A life not burdened with the mundane trapping of being saddled with another person and their burdens as if like conjoined twins being burdened with them wherever one goes.

Those who force others to marry must be punished severely.  They have signed the death warrant of those they forced. They can die in that marriage. So must we not make any single lady feel they are less human being.

If we will be candid to strike the balance we did realize that marriage has hurt our society than any other none essential factor in life like it.

While we are shy to openly admit the benefit of singleton, primary of wish is peace of mind and the freedom of choice and speed, we should remember that everyone whether married or single, has this special place in their heart, where they remember when they were young, when they wanted to be on their own and when they were not yet married.

Marriage is gradually turning our handsome men and women into lazy, boring and conservative people, who cannot take any useful initiative because it will affect others other than themselves. The saying is true. Man is born free but always in chains.
