What we see today as "Plenty" of failed marriages is only a multiplier effect of failed marriages of the previous generation. When a seed is planted, it does not only bring forth the same quantiy of seed planted. The harvest is usually more than the seed sown. So while its unfortunate that our generation is reaping the fruit of many failed marriages of the previous generation, we are also very fortunate to have at our disposal loads and loads of resources to help us reason better and have a different approach to marriage in order to have successful marriages.<br />Therefore, I strongly believe that all our generation needs to do is leverage on all the resources available to us and ensure that there is a paradigm shift in mindset about marriage.

For crying out loud, this man does not believe in marriage. <br />Why must a woman stay in a loveless and lifeless marriage? Women of nowdays are now reaping the consequence of bringing up children by the women who stayed married by fire by force to abusers. They have grown up to be abusers themselves and they lack respect for womanhood. <br />A woman who stays in a loveless marriage stays because of what people would say and not because of the children. In my opinion, that's selfish. Children needs to grow in a stable environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-20131473013680591692014-12-05T13:29:01.856+00:002014-12-05T13:29:01.856+00:00Also, being the right partner is important.

The fact that many marriages ...Your N1 is on point. The fact that many marriages crash doesn't mean many don't work. I totally agree with you that you don't just give 50-50 in marriage. Each partner has to bring in 100. Another reason why marriages don't last these days is because of the interference of a third party. They say don't let an outsider put asunder what God has joined together. In the past, that outsider is a physical person, nowadays, the outsider is our smartphones and the thousands of followers we have. These days, couples are very quick to share their relationships on social media. It is like we want validation on every single thing we are doing. You have a problem with your partner, instead of sitting down and having a chat about it, we get on facebook, twitter, instagram. That solves nothing.<br />Communication is also key. It saddens me sometimes when I see a couple on a date and they are both busy on their phones instead of connecting physically. If you don't talk, how do you get to know the person you are physically with?Okeoghenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374233345612835685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-4169768511252232862014-12-04T18:48:53.309+00:002014-12-04T18:48:53.309+00:00selfishness takes priority for me.....

In-laws that will barge in on you unannounced and stay longer than necessary.

Permission should be sought from the couple before any relative visits...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-73672791260847576512014-12-04T11:25:58.088+00:002014-12-04T11:25:58.088+00:00he is a joker for making that statement.
