Why Doesn't The Media Promote Marriages That Are Working?? by shollyboy2: 12:12am On May 21, 2020
i just read a story on front page about another struggling and about to hit the rock marriage, so i just had to quickly drop this off my chest, and pls dont mind any grammatical Error or "typos"

God, knows i can be the only one so tired of coming on here to read about failed marriages and relationships.. you hardly see a post about a marriage thats working out.. So far this year i have only read one from a guy that shared story about his marriage and shared his beautiful wife pictures too, i was so happy reading about this guy's story and the positive things he had to say about his marriage.

Everyday to open family Forum or Romance Forum, its always about one failed relationships or marriage that isnt working, and its crazy the media seems to be promoting and pushing the bad and failed marriages the most, People don't even believe in marriages again and those of us that are single are now more scared of getting married, Even the ladies too really needs to do better.

you guys should atleast try promote marriages that are working and not all this failed marriages, young ladies dont even see the need to respect marriages again cos the mindset the media is creating and projecting to us all out there now is that " las las na premium tears" go end the marriage or relationship.. its just so bad..

One major reason i stop following joro on Instagram is cos.. Most of all his posts are all about failed relationships, cheating and all that.. Based on what are posted on his page, No relationship seems to be working..

Abeg make i go sleep, las las las all of us go dey alright...
Some people go leave and ignore the message, Na my English and punctuation they will be looking out for.. Well anyway.. you're welcome.

The couples in happy marriage are so happy that they forgot sharing with everyone online. The daily romance has quenched the task to type and share.

The couples in a bitter marriage are so disturbed that they just want to share the grievances for the heart relief.

We prefer the news that calls for sympathy than the one that calls for jubilation and celebration because everyone just want to hear a worse situation from people to console themselves of their present predicament.

Finally, in Africa, we prefer to hear about failure of a situation than the success of it. Hence, good news hardly thrives while bad news travels fast and sells so much cos that is what we want.

Happy marriages are so rare & hard t find & if ever its true is like 2% out of the many failing & already failed marriages littered all over d country!

Secondly, news of bad marriages appeals t the public than any good marriage would ever do cos people relate t news that tell more about hu they re ( Feminists, misogynyist, slay queen, brain dead females, women pleasers etc)....

Lastly, bad marriages are so common than happy marriages that if u ever see one is highly unlikely & fake news or is completely unreported..

The truth is both undeniable and uncomfortable to proclaim: Well-educated couples are much less likely to divorce relative to less well-educated couples. In 2008, I collected data on a targeted sample of more than 1,200 of the most intelligent, well-resourced women of my generation (the Lifestyle Poll Project). The vast majority of the respondents in my sample (98 percent) are college graduates, and more than half of the sample graduated from Harvard University.

In the married portion of this sample (just over 600 in total), fewer than 6 percent had divorced, despite the fact that the average length of marriage was 4.3 years (the third year of marriage is generally associated with the highest risk of divorce). ii The vast majority (86 percent) described their marriages as either “very happy” (24 percent), “extremely happy” (51 percent), or “perfect” (11 percent). An additional 8 percent said that they are “happy,” leaving only 6 percent that reported feeling “a little unhappy” (4 percent), “fairly unhappy” (2 percent), or “extremely unhappy” (<1 percent). The overwhelming majority (91 percent) would marry their current husband again, and nearly the same proportion (89 percent) “rarely” or “never” wish that they had not married their husbands.

This shows that the majority of marriages are happy.

The Centers and Disease Control and Prevention notes that — as of 2016, the most recent information available — the real divorce rate in the United States is 3.2 per 1,000 people.

This shows the divorce rate is less than is currently bandied about.

So why do you hear more bad stories? Well misery loves company.

Online trolls love the opportunity to generalise and insult. When they can insult a group of people by telling a story false or otherwise, you get 30 pages of comments. Look for stories on Nairaland where husbands celebrate their wives and vice versa and it is surprising if they go beyond 2 pages.
