DrPurposeful:
The very moment you say you are accepting a man's proposal for marriage, you are coming under subjection. Subjection is not torment.
A man who fears the Lord doesn't take that for-granted to abuse and take due advantage of you.
Subjecting to your spouse is a command from God. Because the man is the head of the home as Christ is the head of the church, that is not the time or reason to get so proud and become fool of yourself to the extent that you cannot respect your wife and listen to her many good words and advice.
The reason why many marriages never last is because the woman is so highly placed and doesn't need any man to control her or be in charge of her. Because of her degree from harvard and position with Chevron, she see no reason why an ordinary bank branch manager or a medical doctor with one small health centre in port harcourt would control her or tell her what to do when she controls men in her work place and thousands of people calling her Ma/madam.
Don't allow position or class of degree fool you. If you cannot stand a man(your husband) telling you what to do, better remain single and no man would ever have control over you.
Most women compare their rich dad with their spouse; it shouldn't be so.
Respect your husband, listen when he speaks and welcome him when he comes home. Don't always be the complaining kind of wife.
When you give a man all he requires and he still treats your wrongly, then he needs God's intervention.
No man is too big to assist the wife in the kitchen; after all she is you and you are one.
The reason also why so many marriages break up after 10yrears is because most couple watch celebrities on television and want to do the things they do. Never live your life based on the happenings in some other persons life.
Love your spouse, obey and respect them; then show me where the devil would come in... Never give the devil the chance to ruin your marriage.
You will prosper!
You will Succeed!


You are not serious. So it's only ladies that make marriage not to last up to 10 years. Did you consider infidelity on the man side. What of physical assault and total control on a wife. I will take you serious when you include causes from the male side.

Bro "That is how it should be but that is not what it is". Can human love unconditionally without reciprocation from the other party? I guess you are not married... No doubt love is a necessary factor in marriage but keeping the marriage requires more than love.. Or are you Jesus Christ? As they say "Easier said than done".

The reason for failed marriages cannot be pinned to one, two or three factors, so also the solution. The success of a marriage is dependent on the two individuals involve, how much are they willing & determined to swim the tide together.

You guessed wrong. I am married with 3 Kids

op some marriages today break because the man exercises too much authority on his wife. he wants to control every aspect of her life forgetting she is his soulmate and not his servant .I witnessed a marriage where the man asked his wife not to visit her parents unless he says so but he visits his own every weekend.Is that right?some men can really be annoying
It is right, It's His right, But a God fearing man won't do that without reason... .

What makes marriage last is love.. not subjection or advanced slavery.. love is what keeps marriage.

Ask mature couples and they'll disagree. There are many things that keeps a marriage and love is NOT #1 or #2. What happen when love "finishes"? Yes, love is not everlasting. Just like a battery cell, it dies, but can be recharged...rekindled.

There comes a time in many marriages where just being responsible, having the fear of God and having the will not to quit makes the marriage last. Make God just dey help us!

I will take you serious when you post the other version of this directed at men as this is directed at women.

Besides a woman refusing control over her husband should not break a marriage it means there wasn't love in the first place. Today people have turned marriage into an obligation whether their love is true or not.. marriage! And that is when things like this come in.. why would a man be picky because he cannot control his wife? Did he marry her to control her? Also why would a woman be rude to her husband because she is in a higher position? There is no love.

Man, what makes marriage last is love.. not subjection or advanced slavery.. love is what keeps marriage. When there is love.. the woman would respect her hubby as the hubby will respect her. Not one sided subjection because one god commanded it.

Re: Why Most Marriages Never Exceed 10years by greatpearly: 1:54pm On Jan 27, 2016
[quote author=MrsChima post=42368473]There are many different reasons why many marriages do not exceed 10 years.

Some people gets married for the wrong reasons; green cards, to escape poverty, family pressure, desperation, deception, and many more.

However, couples that are married or have been married in good faith will still have struggles in their marriages. Cheating, addiction of some sorts, death, abuse, disconnection from the Higher Power, and many more can break a marriage. Marriage is not easy and it is not for the faint hearts it requires work and dedication. It is about teamwork and supporting each other.

Some couples needs to be honest about marriage and encourage professional counseling or seek advice of a TRUSTED NEUTRAL person that won't takes sides. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes may be what your marriage needs and not everyone wants to see
Couples unhappy and miserable.

Respect and effective communication is imperative to a longer and happy marriages . Some couples are so caught up with trying to outdo other family members that are married many decades and NOT FOCUSED on the health of their marriage. It is not about how long you have been married, but it is about how to have a happy and healthy marriage until it is time to part ways (hopefully it is death).

To control your house (men) doesn't mean you have to treat your wife like one of the children. Even if you have a submissive wife to no fault, she will eventually rebel. You will get more out of her if she feels loved and cherished and you are making good decisions that ensures her stability. Women likes to feel secured and safe. Two heads are better than one when it comes to decisions and planning. Asking your wife for her opinions and thoughts doesn't make you less of a man but more importantly, well-informed decision maker.

If there is no love and intimacy in the marriage, it won't last beyond a few years regardless.

Women choose men based on sustenance attributes and not superficial matters. A man that truly loves his mother will truly love you. Look at how he treats his mother and the female relatives. It is a true indication of how he will treat you! I understand that you do not want a man that has nothing, but instead of looking at what he has material wisely, pay attention how he manage his upkeep and business. If he is not effective, the car and nice house won't be accessible for long! Pay attention to how he is with money and what he does when he is not around his business. You will then see his priority and if he is money obsessive.

Choose compatible spouses and focus on the 80% of the person. A woman of 80% guarantee is better than a woman of 20% guarantee. Get married because you are ready and understand what work is required to maintain it. If you are married and truly gave it your all to make your marriage stronger and you are still not happy. Walk away. Maybe separation is necessary to see the bigger picture and discover other possible solutions. Do not stay in a toxic marriage for the sake of your children. You are reaching your children it is okay to settle and accept this type of treatment from your relationship. They will choose based on their experience they have learned from their parents and continue the vicious cycle that will pass down generations. I am sure that is not THE LEGACY you want to leave behind!

Thanks Mrs Chima

Lol. . .the only reason marriages fail is because inability of the husband to LEAD. Don't shift the blame to women. Lead your household and your spouse will follow. This is not the '60s and it is no longer a man's world. People need to start waking up to this reality. cool

It is part of civilization, I will never marry a woman who is single and has a PhD, as far as I am concerned she needs no man, even those with masters are a handful, why don't girls of today get their masters and PhD after marriage? My mum did it so what is the fuss? I pity this generation...

You have the right to be Whatever you wanna be,pagan,agnostic or bhuddist .How ever you don't have the right to disrespect other people's beliefs nor deities. How would you feel if I disprespected your mum either because I don't know her or just because I can disrespect her freely?i doubt you'd feel good.....Tolerance is key .

15 years bro and still going strong. Why? Because I understand what leadership is. Been a leader all my life. Nigerians generally lack the understanding which is why they fail in almost everything. Most of them equate a good leader with having money or in this case how masculine you are. Bro's the size of your prick grin no mean say you be man oooo.
