Marriage Is Not For Everybody - By Wale Olajumoke by wolajumoke(m): 10:39am On Feb 23, 2016
Every Saturdays, you see wedding ceremonies across the globe.
So much fun and excitement.
This is very good and lovely.

However, it is really alarming to see the rate of divorce all around us
My heart bleeds when I listen to the news or read newspaper in a day coming across the list of couples filing for divorce every day.

The truth is, God want people to marry and enjoy their home but MARRIAGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
Especially those who fall into the following category

1. Intolerance
Marriage is all about tolerating your partner. There is no partner that doesn’t have a weakness. In fact, those that people see as heroes have more weakness than others. You must identify such weakness and ask if you can cope with it before tying the knot. If you can’t tolerate your partner’s weakness, chances are the marriage won't last. If you can't tolerate people's inadequacy, you may see yourself moving from one breakup to another. If you can't forgive, marriage may not be for you

2. Feminism
God that created marriage chose the man as the head. If you believe you shouldn't submit to your husband. Then marriage is not for you. If you can't submit, you can as well remain single because such mindset will breed friction and will eventually end in divorce. You are meant to compliment each other not to compete

3. Competition
If you always want to compete with your friends and keep acquiring luxury especially when you don’t have the financial capacity, you will put your marriage under unnecessary pressure. Marriage requires contentment to survive. Marriage is not for those who are always using other people's lifestyle to measure theirs.

4. Lack of flexibility
There are certain behaviours and attitudes you have to change as part of the requirement for your marriage to work. You may be the type that doesn’t do house chores or do certain things that are of necessity. If you must marry, you need to have a rethink

5. Lack of self-control
Whatever you cannot solve as a single, marriage won’t solve it either. Deal with your weakness such as uncontrollable anger, sexual perversion, drug abuse and so on before considering marriage.

Emotional intelligence is a must for anyone considering marriage. It also requires high level of maturity spiritually, financially, physically, phychologically and other areas. Get over your past and any form of fear or inferiority complex before getting married.
