@thoughtdigest: What do you think ? #marriageconversations #podcastsforwomen #repostsaboutrelationships #thoughtdigest

The_Sweet_SideMw🍰🎂 :

I think marriage can absolutely be an achievement for someone who has worked hard to build a healthy relationship. The mistake is assuming that marriage is “everyone’s”achievement or that being unmarried means someone has achieved less.

Don :

Anything progressive that was previously not attained in your family and it’s long lineage, and is now achieved by you is an achievement. Being a graduate is an achievement, having a car is an achievement, building a two parent family household that’s married is an achievement. Your benchmark is your family background not social media. If you’re the first in your family to go overseas, that’s an achievement. Yes people go overseas everyday but not in your family. And even if people in your family got married in every generation and you still see value in being married and achieve it, then that’s an achievement. You are the authority that defines what an achievement is. You can’t outsource it

To me, an achievement is something you work hard for, something that takes dedication, sacrifice, and personal growth. Achievements look different for everyone, and no one should be expected to measure success by someone else’s standards. For me, marriage is not an achievement. I respect people who choose to get married, but it isn’t one of my personal life goals. My achievements are the goals I set for myself—building a successful career, becoming financially independent, traveling the world, supporting my family, growing as a person, and creating the life I’ve always dreamed of. I am committed to living life on my own terms and defining success by what truly matters to me, not by society’s expectations. My happiness and sense of accomplishment come from reaching the goals I have chosen for myself.

this topic will forever remain debatable 🙏

Any successful relationship is an achievement in this time and era in society. Whether that be with your parents, siblings, friends or significant other. But holistically, in a general sense of humanity, it shouldn't be. It should be a bare minimum. People should be able to accept their differences, different methods of receiving and giving love. People should mutually and respectfully agree to call it quits should their plans and feelings not align or should they change. Everything requires reciprocity, maybe not to specific levels but it's still needed nonetheless. To be mature is a necessity, in all it's perspectives. No one is perfect, but everyone should be willing to learn and to compromise because in every deal, both parties will have to compromise something, that's how you live with people. It's up to you to decide what you're willing to accept and compromise and think to yourself, does it it make sense given what the other party is willing to accept and also compromise. There's no need to fight or argue or be mean when leaving any kind of relationship. Just pure honesty and transparency from the get go will be enough. To get back to my point. In an ideal world, it shouldn't be, it really isn't. But now, in this modern age. Where loyalty, respect, reciprocity, kindness, compromise, love are all rare commodities and social status, financial muscle, spiritual differences, cultural differences, logic are all factors that play a role in a successful relationship and where emotional trauma is used as an excuse to harm others. Those are way too many factors in a criteria. So to overcome all that. In this era. And have a successful marriage. My friend, that's an achievement.

It’s a personal achievement if it’s something u want.

Thandie :

Marriage is absolutely an achievement. I think our generation has perhaps downplayed what marriage is because of the pain it has the potential to produce. If we say a degree is an achievement then surely a covenant is one too. People work hard in relationships and just because it’s a lot of internal work does not mean it is any less of an achievement. Just because we’ve seen marriages fail does not mean it is now no longer achievement. To those who have healthy marriages that have stood the test of time and trials, congratulations that is an achievement to be proud of! And those who have been hurt by marriage I wish you healing and the chance to love again ❤️

tebzathevisionary :

What kind of a question is that . The achievement would be going through a successful marriage

KathrynParajuli :

Every date offers a chance to learn...

Siyabonga Ngcobo :

To have a successful marriage is but just marriage alone is not. Alot of work and challenges go into keeing a successful marriage. You need to surrender yourself to each other,higher being and to being committed truly. Thats were the test lies.

blossom :

An achievement is subjective to each individual,what one person might consider an achievement another might not.For example finishing matric ,to someone it’s an achievement but to another it’s just a normal progression of life..so it just depends on your own personal goals ..

Y’all are cooked man.

Engr. Mark | QA 👷‍♂️🖤 :

As someone who believes in marriage, let me just say this: everyone is entitled to their own point of view. But for me, I absolutely believe in marriage. It is a covenant, and it is biblical come on🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️It was instituted by God from the very beginning, and Scripture presents it as a covenant, not just a cultural idea. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Marriage is something God designed, blessed, and honors.

misslawndy :

It shouldn’t be, just like relationships.

cars, cats and curiousity :

All I know is you get a certificate afterwards. 🤷🏾‍♂️
