This thing called marriage sef! Yes I know so much has been said about this entity world over even on this platform but I have to add my little contribution. It comes with its natural ups and downs but....Mind you,my contribution is borne out of a personal experience.
Hmmm! Marriage to some families is purely business,a shrewd one at that. Yes there will always be clash of interests in any kind of union but it should rather be a win~win situation. It is said that it takes two(2) to tangle.
But how do one possibly explain the interest of a family that is perpetually in the habit of ripping young men off of their hard earned money during elaborate traditional and white weddings and their daughter still end up under this parents' roof?
Selfishness,as pointed out in an article by https://steemit.com/marriage/@princefm/reason-why-teenage-marriage-fail-in-nigeria came handy. Selfishness this time is not just on the part of the man and/or woman but also on the part of the parents kill marriages as quick as you can imagine.
Before I close,it is important I mention the key role MATURITY plays in marriage. Marriages are meant for mature minds. Maturity has little or nothing to do with age(s),it goes far beyond it. The maturity (among many other things,though) of the two(2) key players ~husband and wife~ goes a long way in determining if their marriage survives or not.
And I close with this advice to ladies,most especially,be wise. Do not allow your parents ruin your lives/homes for their own selfish interests. Again,be wise.
I just love this article...weldone brother
Thanks bro
Wow, this is huge. I guess your article has placed us on a same page. I don't know what value people are placing on marriage this days, it is losing it's value as day passes, God will help us oooo, eyes don see my brother but it is well. Well structured, great speech
So sorry about your experience. It's quite unfortunate that marriage is gradually, did i just say gradually, I guess speedily would be more appropriate,loosing its value. I will still hold parents responsible for this fallout.
This write up is reliable, for in many testimonies, marriage is portrayed as an uninteresting venture. But working things out is a hallmark of maturity. I believe many enter marriage unprepared which attributes to many marriages crashing. Good post.
Your point about maturity corroborates my point. God help us.
Amen
