Marriages are not lasting because many don't recognise the devil strategies to destroy the home. The long hours at work, the gadgets , the new satanic mentalities on marraige i.e women refusing to submit and men having extramarital affairs. All these are subtle but the devil key strategy on killing marriages. The couple must take conscious effort to make sure it works by all means Evry single day kiss

Whether our Fore Fathers or Great Grand parents or Grand Parents or our parents or ourselves! Any Marriage that is void of the standard set by Institutor of Marriage ( GOD ALMIGHTY), will Collaspe.

What is the Standard?

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.

Humans can change
Times and Seasons can Change
The World can change
The Word of GOD cannot Change. What it is written is written.
It's our choice to follow or not! Our choices have their corresponding results

For me I think it has to do with understanding the place of balance in life, I think I will be making the write-up this evening bkos of this topic, I think you have inspired me on that.

A mans life is categorized in seven areas, and sustaining a healthy balance in these seven area's is key

Fake love, fake people...

Women marrying for selfish satisfaction like greed for mundane things, then paternity fraud jumps in when they go out with other men

Men didn't change

Women changed.....most of the ones unmarried at the moment are rotten


They are not intelligent, innovative

They just want to party, hookup, hoe till the find a SIMP that is moved by tears, then hold him down for marriage because he has low self-esteem

According to studies, the simp eyes tends to open in the 7th year of marriage, we can say dna can cause his eyes to open, or he's no longer moved by her body

Standard indeed.

Just like the manual of a product made available to the users by the manufacturer. So, you opine the root foundation of having God as the bedrock, if missing can lead to short marriages or not knowing what the manual states , right?

Eye opener there. Nice one.

The moment you bring the concepts of devil or any of those religious constructs into a discussion, you simply kill every form of logic neeeded to dissect the issues raised in the discussion..

Compatibility issues. Existent then but non existent now?

In all, both parties should work out the marriage for success, right?

Is the idea to make marriages last or make them healthy?

Then you are compare apples for apples

@bold:

Not necessarily.

Marriages then and now are similar.

Only difference is that in one dispensation, divorce/separation was not rewarded or made attractive.

Chai. Another eye opener!

So, this is a contributing factor obviously in this dispensation of unhealthy or short-lived marriages.

Right?
