Relationship coach and founder of David Christian Centre (DCC) in Lagos State, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, has taken to his Twitter handle to state that many Nigerian marriages have ended a long time ago, IGBERETV reports.

He further said that a lot of them are just held together by society, poverty or kids

He wrote;

"Many Nigerian marriages have ended long ago, they are just being held together by society, poverty, or kids.

"Society because they are scared of what people will say, poverty because they can’t afford to leave, and kids because it’s a good excuse.

"Honestly I don’t even know if they should leave or continue the packaging. The decision is going to be hard no matter what is chosen.

"That is why I’m still very committed to preaching what we teach, that one family that gets it right makes all the difference.

"If you are single please follow what we are teaching, follow valid relationship guidelines. Life on the other side is not easy on those who ignored principles."

Marriage is a great and beautiful thing .

Marriage is not a bed of roses all the time,
Marriage is not about social media hugowash.
Marriage is beyond reading motivational books or even counseling.
Marriage is way beyond six packs and big back
Marriage is way beyond having a Fat bank account.

But if you can build and tie your Home in GOD and His Word, the Holy Bible, you will be able to withstand the bumps and bullets fighting your Home.

Too bad many people are in a marriage they can't exit anymore no matter how abusive or mentally depraving it is...

I think the society caused it. They place a very high value on marriage that makes everyone aspire to it (especially ladies) and they tell you God hates divorce. While that may be true, how do I contend with a woman whose behaviour I can't tame and or tolerate? And vice versa....

Truth is, marriage scares me

Marriage is strictly between 2 FORGIVERS.
If you are not a Forgiver, then remain Single all your life.

As a married man for over 60 years in the other life, I think I have vast knowledge of marriage and can contribute (◔‿◔)



Do you want a successful marriage? Wives submit to your husbands and husbands love your wives (Eph 5:22-25). It's a principle that must be obeyed to enjoy your marriage..

That's the secret why our own parents married till old age until social media came.....

Well,the truth is that when you enter into marriage with someone whom you aren't compatible with, there's nothing on earth that'd make such marriage to last.......

Still,there are many marriages out there that are also beautiful to admire.......Even though there have been lots of ups and downs,but being able to understand each other made such marriage to come through many challenges.

Once you're married to the idea and not the man then the marriage will definitely fail. What is the idea? Bright goals and Mind blowing dreams... If they fail, the marriage will crash!

Loving and standing by a man who has great ideas is fine, but if you're only loving for just that, and you are not seeing yourself in the picture of helping him make that dream come through then that is dangerous. Such a marriage must crash.

The pastor is spot on on this

A man in his sixties who still shares same home with his wife of his youth told me last year that his marriage ended more than 20 yrs ago. That his wife was just in his house because of his kids and to fill space.
They don't sleep in the same room, the man cooks his food and the woman caters for hers. It is when their kids come around that they stay together for talks.

I will say this forever...the first major reason for marriage is Legal Sex - which leads to raising kids (procreation)..otherwise it's needless.
everyother na secondary..- good food, help, dreams, goals, godly this and that..

some hav sex for reproduction only but have a very bad starved sex life..dat marriage no fit last
