Everybody saying “our parents married till old age and believe their marriages are successful” is total force. You go to homes of these so-called parents and father and mother are sleeping in separate bedrooms, or mothers have now abandoned the husband’s home to go live with their sons who just got married, or these same parents hardly communicating with each other where the children become the mouthpiece of both parents.

MissJoy29:
He is very right...I have come to understand this a long time ago. Given the opportunity, a lot of people will not:
A) remain in their marriages. They will walk.
B) re-choose their partner again if there's another life.

Even our mothers that the men of this age want us to emulate are not left out.

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.....

NgoZeemama:
Where is the lie?

Thattallgirl:
You're forgetting the last part of those verses. "...as unto the Lord". If a woman can submit to Jesus, she'll find strength to submit to her husband not because of the husband but because of Jesus. And if a man knows how much Jesus loves the church and gave His life for the church, the husband will find the strength to love his wife like Jesus loves the church. The third party there is Jesus and I feel people are forgetting Him in their responsibilities and focusing on themselves only.

StUriah:
Wives should first submit to their husbands. Love cannot exist without respect for the husband. That is God's principle.

Sarah, Elizabeth, Ruth, Esther, Mary are good examples of Good women in the Bible.

akosy:
So far, I thank God for mine. Am really favoured, cos we no too serious for marriage matter, We they behave like say we still single. God has been faithful and I pray He does more.

KingLennon:

Am not saying, all marriages back then were roses. Am just saying divorce rate was lesser. And growing up I saw many couples growing together till old age....u get the point?

Which is one of the things this pastor just said, they grew old together doesn’t mean they were actually together. Some were scared to leave due to societal woe especially the women, some didn’t separate because of their children, some women couldn’t leave because they had no money or business they were doing.

BigYash:
Marriage these days is for making kids,nothing anybody wan tell me.. Love or let me say lust has an expiry date. Once it expires,the couple turns cat and rat in their homes..

Ok, I get it. You're trying to say that today's women can't stand the pressure that's why we have high divorce rate? But some didn't have children too but still stayed (I know a few), some had money and were even richer than their husbands yet still stayed..

Lemmy123:
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

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
