This Scary Thing Called Marriage.

The next few photos you are going to see, left my jaw on the ground for a couple of good minutes. I see things like this and I wonder to myself: Will I ever get married? Will I be able to spin the bull crap that comes with this institution into manure? Will I spend the rest of my life managing another human being just because society and my faith frowns at divorce? Will I not get tired of a life long bond ( being that I am an Olympic medalist in this tiring field)?
Is marriage not overrated? Why is polygamy/bigamy not legal or not so much of a cultural vice? Is marriage my destiny? Why are open marriages not popular on this side of the world?  Will I be pushed to the wall as to stabbing my husband in his sleep?
You probably think I am a psycho asking these questions and I may have just ruined my chance at a happy marriage with one of my readers lol. Jokes apart though, owing to the fact that I am in my late 20s, the natural pressure to be hitched is something I am faced with every minute. Only problem is the fear that comes with it is just as robust as the pressure.
If there is one thing I fear the most with regards to marriage, it would be cheating. I mean it has got to be as I cannot call it quits or waltz out as I would do a regular boyfriend/girlfriend scenario. I cannot cuss you out as much as I would want to because society defines that as not being "submissive". In fact let me not talk too much. Take a look at these cuts below:

Dear people of God, you see that overreaction from the wife, I cannot categorically tell you that I won't do the same. I think we have actually missed the whole point of the word "wife".  I think what set my head on fire the most is his last sentence. Really??? The crashing line you could come up with is that you are not the first to cheat??? I had no idea there was a compulsory cheating men census going on. Maybe we did not get the memo.
I will leave this open ended... Maybe she over reacted and as the popular saying goes, when the offended overreacts, the offender becomes the offended. I personally think that men should embrace the 21st century by sitting down and really evaluating what they want in a marriage because clearly the man in the above, he gets turned on by what Nigerians call "Ekaette"(slang for maid/nanny).
