Uyi168:my brother, forget interlectualism , every aspect of Man life is in two dimensions, physical dimension and spiritual dimension,,,, the two dimension must be well attended to in other to succeed in any area of life... so basically while you do everything possible in the physical,do remember to check the spiritual, because the spiritual control the physical, believe it or not. marriage is not an exception ,most people dwell and perfect things of the physical but it can't guarantee a successful marriage... 1 Like |

The reason why marriages lasted long was because women of then had high tolerance level. People say for a marriage to work there has to be compromise but what they fail to tell you is that the compromise has to come from the woman. The african culture believes the woman holds the key to keep a home and a marriage( even though there are two people in a marriage), religion hasn't spared us from those teachings. So from childhood the girl child was brainwashed with such teachings , both onthe religious and traditional fonts . But then over the years, the girl child began to see all the sacrifice all the tolerance our mothers had to put up with ,had to wait till old age to be appreciated by children not spouse ,then the world turned a global village ,the door for divorce was open and it was no longer an abomination or family dishonor to leave ones husband's house. People turned less traditional and less religious and realized heaven didn't fall . So there you have it. 1 Like |

social media fake life that's why lack of contentment starting out on a wrong foundation ( the guy who is ready not the one who has your interest at heart) parental influence influence of close friends reavealing secrets shared to you by your spouse based on trust. no more for better for worse, ppl these days are for better for best!!! failing to realise that for it to work both parties must be committed to the success of the union. lack of thick skin to tide through little adversity in the journey. lack of communication. knowing what to say say and what to refrain your lips from saying even with your partner. |

Girls too like Materialistic things. If they see a guy that makes better money or is more okay than you they will leave you for that man. Marriage to me nah scam. If not for child, Men don't really need women. |

This thread makes me give up on naira landers, I have only read the first page though, and its so full of dumb answers Well, marriages lasted then because what they practised wasn't marriage but Union, where the sole aim is for it to last whether they are happy, sad, almost dead etc. |

t00dugged:Very sensible comment. Let me add to what you have said In the past, the women were only concerned about being in Union, being attached, but now, women understand the meaning of marriage which should be pleasure and happiness for both parties. Women then had high tolerance for slavery, women now, don't want to be enslaved because we now have many good men that treat their wives like a partner not a slave, women now know they deserve such type of men or be single in peace. |

SchoolPedia: We allowed the state to start telling us how to run a home We allowed the state to tell us when to spank sense into a child We allowed the state to tell us that a male yansh is now sweeter than psseeeey Women are now leading their husbands and making decisions in homes Read this ANYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST GOD’S ORIGINAL CREATION WILL END IN FAILURE. ANY MARRIAGE THAT IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE TO GOD’S ORIGINAL PLAN IS A TIME BOMB IF THE HUSBAND WILL NOT LOVE THE WIFE AND THE WIFE WILL NOT SUBMIT FORGET IT |

I have a lifestyle of my own. I have experiences about life. I have witnessed a lot, seen a lot, and encountered a lot.. Social media did not, and does not impact on my thinking, the thingsI have seen with my korokoro eyes do. I have decided to wave off marriage cos I have seen and witnessed too many. Damn it! Opting for having just one baby mama, that's all. I will take care of u as my wife, my kids will definitely be taken care of, but no damn ring for you. Others are guaranteed. Things are not working the way they out to. Reality shiit. Marriage is crap nowadays, this is reality. I can't let one toto carrier come short my life for me.. I fvck as I want, if u like fvck outside too, na ur life. My kids, my pride. No shiit.. |

Marriages nowadays doesn't last because everything that seems to be forbidding are now norms. having sex before marriage is norm now, infact if you meet most ladies today and you take her out to buy her drinks, give her little cash to redo her hair you'll have your way inside her pant. No respect for each other and a lot don't listen to advices of the elderly ones. So many parent are at fault in this simply the upbringing of children. No fear of God, just to mention few among others 1 Like |

SchoolPedia: This is funny what we have in Nigeria are feminist and those who are too arrogant to submit and men see submition as love while women care as love... When you marry a woman who is not submissive the tendency to womanizer is very high. This days women hardly submit in a relationship talk of marriage |

'You can't eat your cake and still have'. Those old days marriage were 'arranged' or 'matced' by mature parents or guidance who knows what marriage entails. But today, young people chose for themselves based on their inexperienced and immature minds. The marriage will not work. If we can go back to 'match making' system the rate of divorce will reduce in our society. 'Arrangee' marriage is still practiced largely in Indian thus they have a very low divorce cases. Western world is so civilised that your freedom of choice is priority but they have an alarming rate of divorce. |
