The Transactional Marriage
Transactional Marriage: Love or Business Deal? đź’Ťđź’Ľ
When you hear the word “transaction,” what pops into your head? Buying and selling, right? 💸 That’s exactly what I thought too. But hold up, can there be a transaction in marriage? Or, to put it more dramatically, can marriage turn into a business deal? 🤔 Let’s dive into this juicy topic together and find out!
First, let’s break it down: what on earth is a transactional marriage? Picture this: two people tying the knot, not because they’re head-over-heels in love, but because they’re getting something out of it - money, status, family approval etc.
In this kind of marriage, everyone has a role to play, and they stick to it like it’s their job because, well, it kinda is.
Love? Optional. Responsibilities? Non-negotiable. Na so e just be.
Transactional marriages aren’t just some rare beautiful relationship. Nope. They’re sneaking into more relationships than we’d like to admit. Think about it: how many couples start off all lovey-dovey, only to end up as glorified roommates or business partners? They’re staying together for the kids, the fame, the money,societal pressures,family talk or religious leaders take in it.
But wait o, before you start side-eyeing your own relationship (or your parents’), let’s talk about the dangers of transactional marriages. Buckle up, because this is where it gets real. 🚨
Dangers of transactional marriage.
ISSUES OF TRUST IN MARRIAGE: This whereby a partner is thinking what to get and how to get something out of the relationship and not thinking of the other person’s feelings or interest.
LACK OF EMOTIONAL CONNECTION:The parties concerned will love their lives as they wish and will not build genuine emotional connection which will lead to isolation and loneliness in the marriage.
POWER TUSSLE; Just imagine two people in a marriage whereby one has a significant right or power over wealth or fame or property.There will be signs of manipulation and exploitation from the partner.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION:Even in the right or proper marriage we advocate for listening and understanding your partner when communicating before response.(people still Dey learn and try to balance am).In a transactional marriage it will be like two elephants fighting in the woods,and na ground go suffer am.
Conflicts may never be resolved and resentment could set in for a very long period of time which eventually could split the marriage of affect the children psychologically on how they view marriage (if there are any).
These are just a few of the dangers of transactional marriage.
From experience and observation I have deduced that there is less or no happiness in a transactional marriage and could ultimately destroy the existence of it.
