Why are we having increasing rate of Marital failures?
This is a tropical question that usually bothers people mind and thinking today and it even makes people to shy away from marriage and the responsibilities associated with marriage .This is largely because of the increasing divorce rates , separation , trouble relationship , break up that we are all experiencing in our modern society today.
More than 50% of marriages in the United States end up in break up, separation and divorce today after 5-10 years of marriage and up to one million children in the US every year suffer the psychological and emotional trauma of breakup and broken relationship. The rate of failure in marriage is always seriously affecting here in Nigeria and Africa as a whole
This statistics makes mostly young people growing up to dare marriage thinking whether it will work for them since it did not work for their parents.
I just want to let you know that not withstanding the available statistics and experience that we have in our society today, you can still build up strong lasting relationship and marriage only if you are willing to give it the commitment, trust and faith that going into a marriage relationship demands of you with all your heart and faith belief that your marriage will certainly work e d for you and your spouse to be.
The reason why you are scare about marriage today is because of the ugly experiences that marriage has presented to us in our present generation and most of the ugly experiences today , we see it right from our homes with our parents and you have been thinking whether you should get married because you do not want to end up with a relationship filled with great pain, worry and disappointment that could make you to become an emotional rake even though like the idea of marriage and the marriage institution comes with respect and regards for people that are in it .You also want to have someone that could love share your love with , spare time together to build a home and a family and the current challenges ,experiences is making you to be scar.
You can certainly over all that and be able to build a great relationship that stand the test of time.
The Bible says that if you are willing and obedience, you will eat the good of the land , so one of the good of the land that God has destine for us is the marriage institution that he created right from the beginning of the world from the time of Adam and Eve, He knew that it is not good to be able alone hence , he gave Eve to Adam. God is the creator of marriage and he will certainly help you to build a long lasting relationship and marriage if you are willing to follow the right principles and steps to building great relationship notwithstanding the ugly situation that we might have seen today in our family and society at large.

Good point! I think some of the reasons marriages fail are firstly, they are no longer in tune with the bible standard, God's standard. 2. Love has now become conditional; everybody now loves somebody cos of one reason or the other. 3. Most of us go into marriage for the wrong reasons. Most of us go into it with expectations, I mean let's face it, marriage is what you see is what you get. 4. Most of us ladies are more interested in the wedding and gold ring than the marriage itself. We forget that wedding is a day, marriage is a journey.
I think we should realize that God is the founder of marRiage, and marriages should honour and glorify God. Love should be unconditional; love shouldn't be manipulated with some kind of game neither should it have any formula. Unconditional love remains the same and guarantees forgiveness even when we fall short of who we should be.
