RE: Real Talk Weekend Prompt Step Into the Hot Seat #3
Do you think that marriage is a huge commitment and could limit you from some certain things? Or something that will bring more opportunities and success?
What an interesting question, i so much love questions that put me on a hot seat, especially when i know i can support my claims in diverse ways with both logical and practical examples…
Answering the question from @jmis101;
Marriage is not just the coming together of a man and woman to become husband and wife, it involves more than that, and that includes the coming together of two different beings, with different life experiences, perspectives and possibly from different cultures after they have understood, communicated, shared and choose each other to walk alongside each other for the rest of their lives…
Marriage is a definitely a journey of huge commitment, and it would limit both gender from certain things in life, and mind you, marriage will never hinder you from the good and profitable opportunities in life because marriage itself is holy. Marriage will only limit you from continuing to live the life you have once lived when there was never a partner in the picture. Take for example; before marriage i was a constant club goer, i don’t miss clubs on weekends, the moment i tie the knot, the knot has become a boundary i should never cross, therefore i have to stop going to the club, such lifestyle becomes my past and i lead a new life, same for the other party. But if both of us are the party type, there is no harm in hitting the club with my wife every weekend, I just need to know i will only be with my wife and no one else, that’s another scenario… My point is that marriage changes a lot of things because a thought for one now becomes a thought for two, you don’t live for yourself anymore, so your actions should not affect your partner.
Marriage won’t limit you from good choices and opportunities, it will only limit you from bad choices and lifestyles, the moment you are married everything automatically changes.
Answering your second question, marriage will never limit great opportunities and success, and that’s because it’s a holy union. For you to agree to be married to someone, you need to know what you will be walking into and that certain things will change, it’s a choice you have to make, and once you make it there’s no going back at all. Marriage is a good thing and almost everyone in this world wants to be married someday, so I think marriage shouldn’t be a barrier to success and great opportunities in life…
Am i making sense @burlarj, @nkemakonam89, @merit.ahama, @hopestylist, @justfavour, @treasuree @chefqueen @mayor-001 @valchiz @vickoly @afrikens…
You surely made so much sense. Marriage should never be the reason you would lose opportunities or success just because of insecurities or the likes. The only hindrance to the opportunity may be probably because the condition attached to getting it is an act of infidelity.
And the part of placing boundaries is very important. Female friends coming over for a hangout is a no no, you know 😋

Hmm… this man is thinking! And learning too.
Well said, Fox. I agree with you on so many levels. Marriage changes everything. If anyone is scared of changes, they have no business with marriage. These two people become one and that’s a lot of change if you ask me.
Marriage like you said and I agree with you is that it doesn’t limit you - it shouldn’t. Instead, it only makes you see the foolishness in some of your choices and gives you a wiser approach to things.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Fox.
