I think the OP asked for a real life definition of marriage from married people, based on their real life experiences of being married NOT this religious text book definition of yours.

efficiencie:


Klassy Klass99. Can you cite the religious textbook that is the source of the definition I gave? I would like to see your citation. [b]I have been in failed relationships and I have always been puzzled by what makes two love birds become worst enemies after some time...[/b]and my conclusion has been that marriage can only work when the couples are in sync (unification) and in Christ...by being in Christ I mean leading a life characterised by central tenets that were reflected in the life of Christ.

chii8:





Did I pass or not? Or are you surprised I didn't put love there?

Ogamysamo:
not really, just that it look funny abit. or didn't it seems funny?

Mon Ami, even Christian marriages have broken down to a point where the couples divorced.

5 of the divorced couples I know are all believers and I'm certain they went in, hoping to make it a lifetime adventure.

This is in no way a criticism or pulling down mission of Christianity I am just saying. Christ is perfect and so are his tenets, we his followers just tend to muddle things up all on our own.

Two days ago I stumbled on a Steve Harvey YouTube video where he interviewed a couple who has been married for 82 years (Yes, 82 years) Steve asked them what's their best advice to people about marriage and the wife said;

1. The secret to a happy marriage is being nice to each other (which I agree with)

2. Talk things over.

3. Get a good understanding of what you are doing and where you are going.

This couple had one child (a female) and one grandchild (a female) who accompanied them to Steve's show. But, they stayed married for 82 years, irrespective of the child's gender and number of children involved.

You know in Naija the fact that there was no male child in that marriage and there was only one child alone, would have caused that marriage to disintegrate. Coupled with the nosiness of busy body in-laws.

Two love birds become enemies because in this part of the world we have very messed up ideologies about relationships and marriage.

I'm not married but my own idea and definition of marriage is two adults taking good care of each other, doing the good that they can in their world/community. Anything else outside this (like children) is just jara and not the main koko for me.
