Marriage is not meant for everyone. you can be equally useful to the society without having to tie the knot with some1. But in Africa it is a taboo if a woman is not married and I think this is one of the reasons why women become so desperate to find a husband and in the process fall victim to marriage of bondage, and which oftentimes they cannot get out of for fear of being stigmatised and so end up living a lifeless life without joy.
If you are lucky to find your SOULMATE...then marriage is for you so you go right ahead and live a happy fulfilled life with your family.
