The issue of giving is an important topic. Understand that God relates to us by covenant. Every covenant (like marriage or a business partnership) places demands (as well as benefits) on both parties. God's part includes to prosper us, protect us, etc. Our part is to worship him & honour Him with our substance.

I'll try to elaborate more with a few sub-titles:
1. TITHING & OFFERING:
These are only two out of the "7 Mandatory Things to Give to God" recorded in the Scriptures. God himself is angry with defaulters and allows "The Devourer" attack such thieves. See God's tone in Malachi chapters one & chapter three.

2. WHY SHOULD I GIVE:
God commanded not to come empty handed before Him. Exo23:15. God is angry with you and even your pastors when you bring trivial gifts to his presence. See Malachi1 & Malachi3.
Whatever you sow, that shall you reap.
He has commanded us to store our treasures in heaven by giving to advance His Kingdom. Matt6:19-21

3. HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE:
The measure you give is the measure you will recieve. Luke6:38

4. MISSIONARY WORK:
The work of ministry is not for pastors only but for everyone. See Eph4:11-13. As long as you are not actively involved in full-time missions, you must involve your money or substance.

Please before you react against supernatural ordinances such as giving, study God's laws & mores in the Bible. Don't add or remove from it else you incure the curses written in it.

This interesting question cannot be comprehensively answered in a brief post but I'll try.
Who (or what) is to blame for collapsing buildings, or companies getting bankrupt or even Nigeria's backwardness? They have the same answer we seek: disobeying timeless principles will always result in disaster.
Marriage is an irrevocable covenant created by God to bind a man & wife together. There are several principles that govern marriage. Good marriages are not purchased, they are cultivated. If one person (or both parties) breaks these principles, the effect is their marriages will crash.
Here are some principles of building a good marriage:
1. The man & woman must properly leave their parents to start their new home.
2. Sex must be preserved for marriage & in marriage alone.
3. Love must be selfless, cultivated over time & must pass several tests.

PLEASE LIST OTHER RULES OF A GOOD MARRIAGE, THEY ARE MANY.

Enough has been said about the poster.
A comprehensive solution will have to
protect the girl from future threats.
There has to be a middle ground.

The young man in question
is obviously having problems with his Mom.
He must address them squarely
else she will ruin his marriage.
It sounds hard but its true.

Notice that from my tone,
I advocate going through all the steps amicably.

It hasn't gotten any better at my end yet.
Hope we see the best of GEJ's reforms soon.
