For a marriage to work the husband and the wife must contribute towards the success of that marriage not just one sided
You focused solely on the woman thereby ignoring that men sometimes also have their own flaws that threaten the marriage to fail

Marriages of uneducated people also fail
Marriage is deep..Whether educated or uneducated,if that marriage lacks a solid foundation,it will collapse
That is probably because he is aware the main reason many Nigerian marriages continue to exist has to do with the fact that they are mainly propped up by the women; the men might as well be considered roommates who sometimes pay the bill in such marriages. undecided

Because for the uneducated folks most times their options are limited financially so it pays them to be together more especially the female.

Secondly, the uneducated ones may not even be aware that they are in a toxic relationship due to ignorance hence the continual stay in the marriage.

First marriage is not for two strict people, one has to fall mugu or better still overlook and accept many things.
A graduate is more advance and have some white man mentality because they are educated and can read whatever both online and offline while am uneducated woman has am africa mentality which she knows the man is the head of the house, she can accept many of his mistakes just as u forgive ur children of their mistakes but am educated wife take everything serious because of pride and entitle mentality there by competing with her husband.
You can take advantage of ur uneducated wife in so many occasions compared to the educated one.
If u have an uneducated women who is business minded and has understanding then just open business for her and have a happy family e.g orhobo and igbo women are very good examples, while an educated working woman will some times prefer her work more than the marriage all because she want to be dependent.
Op their are more but just

Where you take see them? Did you know that marriage/spousal abandonments --- the Nigerian norm as far as divorce ---- happens more to uneducated women than to educated ones in marriage? And are you aware that right there in Nigeria, the abandonment rate is as high as divorce rates in advanced countries. ---could be even higher since we don't really track these things much in the country. undecided
Lol. To begin with, lots of uneducated couples don't marry properly. They just abandon the "marriage" and move on.

Of course more common in some tribes than others.
But educated ladies in particular want traditional, registry and church marriage. So divorce can be drawn out too.

Less educated women :
1. dont practice feminism.
2. Don't f*ck around without fear of repercussion
3. Are not indoctrinated in western ways
4. Are more likely to be truly religious or spiritual
5. Depend on community more for social support
6. Marry early

Less educated men:
1. Have less options to cheat
2. Are busy trying to feed the family and make ends meet.

The non educated ones don't have standards so they accept any thing that comes around and don't usually argue because they are not educated enough to start arguing on what they don't know about. They plan on what they nerd to sustain each day because of their financial capacity.
Inflation and economics situation is not what they should be arguing about because they don't know the indices

The educated ones claim to know everything and already know what they want base on their class and levels
So they will always argue because each other knows what the other one is upto

So when they don't accomplish any target it will be a subject of arguments why it failed and they will blame each other with valid point and still go back to put it right
They are conscious of the economic situations and don't want to drop from their standards as it will affect thier status
So their will always be an argument because one claims to know more than the other
It's depends on the kind of girl bro, if it's all these generation of woke girls, I sorry for you o!(in Asari dokubos' voice)
I was exposed to this kind of girls in my last relationship. The thing no last more than 6months with 3breakups within cheesy
True,love kept us going but love is not more than enough to keep relationships.
We both couldn't keep a common ground because of over sabi on petty issues so we called it a quit.

Re: Why Do Marriage Of Uneducated Couples Last Longer Than The Educated Ones? by Demurray: 2:40pm On Sep 02, 2023
The reason behind the divorce and the aggrieved party should be put into consideration will debating on the reason why marriage do not last on the part of educated couple.

If cheating was the cause, some wife could accept it but husband will never accept it because he believes that the woman belongs solely to him, even if he has side chick. Therefore, the marriage ends.
Some educated wives are greedy, they compare all husband, in that if they lack something the some other wives got, they would be pressurized their husbands to do more, and that could lead to the end of the marriage if the husband fail to achieve her desire in a stated period of time on the other hand patience is characterized with uneducated wives .
This is just a few, there are many more

Most enlightened marriages are based on benefits not true love and once the benefits gradually fades off, parties involved become prospects or victims of failed marriage. Nigeria my motherland.
Re: Why Do Marriage Of Uneducated Couples Last Longer Than The Educated Ones? by eodavids(m): 2:40pm On Sep 02, 2023
The reasons may be numerous, but the major reason is the acclaimed enlightened status of an educated person which make them unable to take the humble position.

The concept of "my rights..." Mentality is playing roles there.

Marriage works better where people allow their rights to be abused, they allow peace reign and work for the survival of their marriage

If you check statistics of failed marriages among educated and non educated people, you will find out non educated people have failed marriages than educated people, we just won't notice because they are non educated and not popular. We only focus on popular people we know and they are mostly educated.

Unless you are in support of Boko Haram (Education is forbidden), It's important to avoid making generalizations about the longevity of marriages based solely on education levels. The success or longevity of a marriage depends on a complex interplay of various factors, including communication, compatibility, shared values, social media influences, trust issues and individual personalities. While some studies may suggest correlations between education levels and divorce rates, it's essential to remember that correlation does not essentially imply causation.

Marriages can succeed or fail regardless of education levels, and each relationship is unique. Education can influence a person's outlook on life and their approach to problem-solving, but it's just one of many factors that can impact a marriage. Factors such as communication, commitment, and mutual support play significant roles in the success of any marriage, regardless of the educational background of the individuals involved.

Because education is just a small section of life. It is not that required for happiness, love, marriage, worship, faith etc. School education is mostly required for a job. Couples try to bring in their school education and job experience into their marrage, which results in problems mostly.
A marriage needs submission, love, forgiveness, joy, trust and most times God for it to function properly and last longest. These things are not gotten from school but the opposite.

Cos when you eat of the tree of knowledge, your eyes open. grin

But seriously, intelligence begets pride if care isn't taken. And what makes marriage work really is thag one or both parties must be ssubmissive.

Besides intelligent people tend to have trust issues. Either psychoanalysing everything the other does or trying to outsmart each other.

But with not so educated people, they don't don't know so much about psychology so they're safe.
