How do you use the bond dissociation energies of #H_2# (435 kJ/mol) and of a typical carbon-carbon bond (347 kJ/mol) to decide which bond is stronger?

By definition, bond dissociation energy is literally the energy required to dissociate/break the bond.
So, if the bond requires more energy to break, does it not make sense that it is a stronger bond?
