Some of these pastors like making controversial statements just to draw attention.
But what he should have said was Marriage does not guarantee your happiness. Some people find joy & fulfilment in marriage while others experience hell on earth when they get married, especially married to the wrong spouse.
Those are two different things entirely.

if marriage is designed to make one happy, how come there are so many unhappy married people?
Marriage is useless if it can't bring happiness.

exactly my thoughts,what is the pastor's own definition of happiness?we all have different faces and our preferences are also different,what makes me happy may not make kayode or abdulrahman happy,you cannot seriously expect a matured man to be happy 30 days in the month,it simply goes against the laws of nature,some days are just terrible to say the least, whether married or not what we hope is for our happy days to be more than the crazy days

I totally agree with what he said,
Some people see marriage as means to escape a lot of things eg poverty, loneliness, abuse and all sorts.

No matter how you have self happiness.. staying or living with someone that makes you unhappy can lead to a chronic and unseen depression.


You're right, but this isn't the focal point of the message he relayed.

Obviously most people commenting didn't even read the said message

All he's saying is, you must create your own happiness before marriage, marriage can only spice the happiness you have within yourself before getting into it.

Most of these people make vague statements to DELIBERATELY confuse their members. A better person is going to be a happy person Na. To a great extent.

Marriage should not be the only source of your happiness. But if it is not one of the sources of your happiness, then it is utterly useless.

Of what use is marriage if it's not designed to make me happy?

If one can't find happiness in marriage, why engaging in it?

These are the elements of the happiness in marriage he posited : android before marriage iPhone 13 after marriage; no foreign trips before marriage and Bahamas and Dubai on my mind after marriage and so on. Achieve/experience those things before you get married.

Watch the video before you start castigating him. He actually made vital points in that video.
In other words, he was saying that you should not see marriage as a poverty or unhappy alleviation haven. That is, work on yourself before delving into marriage.

Popular Nigerian cleric, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has candidly told unmarried people about the complexities of marriage.

In a video he posted on his Instagram page, the pastor explained that marriage was not made to make people happy but was designed to make people better. He said marriage is a place you go to give, not a place to go to receive.

Pastor Kingsley explained that people must take care of things making them feel unhappy and unfulfilled before getting married and not hope that getting married will solve all their problems.

Watch the video below:

I wonder where this people are getting Thier teaching from.

If God said, he that found a wife has obtain good thing and found a FAVOR from the Lord, so why won't there be happiness in it?

Most of this pastor only preach about what there are going through at home. Out of the abundant of the heart, the mouth speaks.

May God save Thier followers.

What he said is the truth.

Happiness is self created.

How can you make your spouse happy when you're not happy with yourself?

You can only give what you have.

The beautify of marriage is giving and that beauty comes from both partners being sufficiently happy independently so they can easily give what out what they have to each other therefore giving marriage the colour of beauty its truly meant for....

This one best qualify as a relationship coach and not a pastor, together with his wife. His teachings or messages have no spiritual substance, always about relationships, datings etc..
There is nothing more spiritual than a Godly marriage.

It's a key aspect of Christianity and Christian living.

You can't serve God well if you are in a horrible marriage.

But there is no such thing as a godly marriage as that is a delusion in and of itself. This since Jesus Christ made it absolutely clear that your marriages are of this world and not of His Kingdom - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36 undecided

As for serving God, if you chose to put your marriage before God, you cannot even serve Him to begin with. This since God commands that you hate husband, wife, children, mother, father, etc., if you are to be worthy of Him. undecided

Ask Hosea the prophet for clues to how to serve God despite a not so good marriage. undecided

It doesn't have to be in heaven for it to be Godly.

Godly means to have divine approval.
To satisfy the will of God.

When God brought Eve to Adam that was as Godly as anything you can think of.
Re: Marriage Was Not Designed To Make You Happy - Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo (video) by Cousin9999: 10:53pm On Dec 10, 2021
He's half right. Marriage is more cultural, political, and financial than personal. And there are a lot of people with childish attitudes toward it. Marriage is largely about building things: a deeper bond and relationship; a foundation for you, your spouse, and kids; support for extended family; a better community; and a lot more.

Again, there is no such thing as a godly marriage as that is a delusion in and of itself. This since Jesus Christ made it absolutely clear that your marriages are of this world and not of His Kingdom - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. There is no such thing as divine approval where marriage is concerned. A marriage is defined simply as an agreement between a man and woman.. Genesis 2 vs 24 , Matthew 19 vs 3 - 5. All other formulations are of the minds of men, lies! undecided

As for serving God, if you chose to put your marriage before God, you cannot even serve Him to begin with. This since God commands that you hate husband, wife, children, mother, father, etc., if you are to be worthy of Him. undecided

Ask Hosea the prophet for clues to how to serve God despite a not so good marriage. undecided

Also, what God did with Adam and Eve, He did for no others, because marriage, as defined by Him have no need for a repeat of such. undecided

See confusion, how can unhappy person be a better person. Some of these pastors don't understand themselves
you the one cosin confusion...
A good person can find his or herself in an unhappy situation.
And be sides he didn't say marriage make you unhappy...
And for real marriage makes you a better person,,,
I am talking from experience,it brings out the men or woman in you,you deal with life in a whole different way...gives you some.kinda purpose,more responsible especially when you got the kinda partner you NEED...I'm not talking about Love...

The guy couldn't have said it any better. It is extremely difficult to find happiness in marriage if you can't find happiness in your single life. Anybody thinking that marriage will cure their unhappiness as a single person will just find flat disappointment. People you see happy in their marriage are just people who were able to manage their happiness as single person into marriage as a couple
