Mzansi shares thoughts on Anele Mdoda’s post Social media users dished their thoughts on the post. Some explained why they think married people were favoured in different professions. @Moshe_Meso said: “Ofcos…I wouldn’t take advice from a Mariage Counsellor who is single.” @TebogoTheScribe commented: “Agree. Companies want to know if you can commit to them only, and they wanna be sure that you won’t leave. Being married and having a family ensures that you are less likely to take the highway when things get tough.”

@Mpumiln added: “They tend to associate marriage with being responsible. Which is not always the case.” @Evidence_Shongw wrote: “When you’re married, you are responsible and have more responsibilities than a single person, and most companies look at that and give you a role with more money.”

Yes, marriage associates you with being more responsible
