staga:
Primary reason is a failure to adapt to the changing roles of the woman in a home. That's number one. Yes, women now work, but everyone should remember and perform their primary roles at home. Men are the breadwinners, women are the homemakers. Anything done outside these primary roles is supposed to be in an assistance/secondary role. Women should not be the ones bearing the burden of providing for the family. They can only assist where necessary to complement the man who should be pulling his own weight. Likewise, a man can assist with shopping and cooking once in a while, but it is not his primary duty.

Number two: pressure from the world to conform to the world's standards.

Number three: abandonment of Godly principles for marriage.

Very correct analysis.

For me I think it has to do with understanding the place of balance in life, I think I will be making the write-up this evening bkos of this topic, I think you have inspired me on that.

A mans life is categorized in seven areas, and sustaining a healthy balance in these seven area's is key

The answer is simple. Our women do not bring much to the table but they want everything especially things they see on social media!

you are right! social media exactly it is cuz it allows girls and expose them to the so called "better offers" by men of those with real and true offers and those that just wanna have a taste of it

its so easy for girls to meet men, meet agreement, hookup for sex and the likes, its all just easy these days which makes them(ladies) fetish and covetous

Reasons those marriages don't last to d best of my abilities are : 1. Respect: when spouse don't respect each other, there is gonna be problem which leads to fight and quarrel cos as husband and wife u need to respect each other at home and in public,u dont talk anyhow to each other not all human can stand it.
2. Lack of understanding: when spouse refuses to understand each others mood, know when to talk and when not to ,when to play and when not too.
3. Neglect of duties: couples should understand dt dey av their own roles to play at home and even to each other d moment one refuses to do his or her oen part, then d beginning of the end is near
4. Parent influence: couples parent should stay away from their children's marriage, no husband will want his -in-law to run his home likewise d wife too,so dey should learn to stay away allow dem handle their differences themselves so as to understand each other beta.
4. Communication: couples should learn how to relate well with each other,no secret, nothing like I want to be left alone,share ur worries and pains,share ur happiness.
Our grandparents were mindful of all things like dis so their marriage lasted till old age.
Also i can like to mention endurance but I won't hammer on dt cos a man dt abuse his wife physically u can't preach endurance to such, d way men of nowadays treats their wives is not in any way close to our grandparents.

Just because today's marriages don't last as long doesn't mean that they are not better.

Back in the day, women were more financially dependent on men. Whether or not they liked the marriage, they had no other choice but to stay.
Re: Why Aren't Today's Marriages Lasting Like Those Of Our Parents And Forefathers? by Itzurboi(m): 5:48pm On Jan 12, 2021
what changed??
1) SOCIETAL FACTOR
civilization, exposure, social media, rural-urban movement, contentment

2) individual's sense of responsibility, morality.

3) Comparison of other people's marriage..

if these few points are broken down to percentage, most home will have a low percentage.. Maybe then you will understand why there are hardly lasting/healthy marriages lately...

The solution is right under our nose

When we stop hearing something like this:

I'm looking for a rich man to marry

I can't married a broke man

I can't date a broke man

Then we're still 200 years ahead of a successful marriage in the society, but then I am afraid because it will keep getting deteriorate , why? Because laziness is the attribute of an average lady in the noun society, most women are incapacitated to think beyond their vagina, if we still have this kind of indoctrinated women in the society,
Then brace up marriage will become an extinct institution, all thanks to our brainless women.


Until we start having women marrying the so call broke man that can foot the bill in the home then you are sure to have a successful marriage society

Until then marriage will remain a joke, enter at your own peril


We move

How do you people know marriages are not lasting? and keep in mind this is a different generation.

Some old generation married out of force or demand and they had to stay, let's stop comparing, if you sit down with older people you will realize most have regrets or didnt want to marry.

Some marriages we think lasted long was just broken and existing maybe because of kids

Too much fake flossing and flexin
Fake love
People have their own agenda when marrying instead of marrying for true love
People are so fake,’phony and superficial
Females don’t know how to keep their legs closed
Men like to taste everything moving and that has a hole to fuvk
Nigeria is the cheating capital of the WORLD

I think it's because times have changed.

In those days, our parents married and were enduring in Marriage. Some people in marriage right now are just Enduring Marriage rather than Enjoying marriage.

But Right now, Nobody wants to Endure Marriage. It's just the sad truth. Once they encounter a little problem, they look for the easiest way out.

May God Help Marriages.

Lots of couples want to compete among each other

Lack of cooperation among couples

Lots of couples prior to courting and lack dating experience

And lastly money troubles.

Everyone is trying to outplay each other in the game of eat your cake and have it. People marry for children and status. Married women are slaying and enjoying attention from other men. Husbands are also community dikk

The root of evil that causes today's marriage unable to last longer than that of our forefathers is love for MONEY. Marriage nowadays has money and love for expensive life as the major priority, while during our forefathers' era, it is done just for the sake of pure love and quest for peace.
