If marriage was the
best thing that can ever happen to anyone, why are there still very rich young
ladies and guys out there? With this we would be right to say that marriage is
not all but just a spiritual, social and moral obligation.
I mustn’t be misquoted,
I didn’t say marriage is not right but not all marriages are supposed to be
because they aren’t working. The big question would be that, if your father
were your husband would he have been the best for you? And if you mother were
your wife would she have been the woman of your dream?
Looking at the rate of
divorce in our society, I bet the answers to these questions would be capital NO’S.
We cannot deny the fact that marriage cannot always be rosy. Another question
to this fact would be that, why would you enter into a relation you would
always look back and wish you hadn’t entered into?
Gone are does days they
force people to marry out of parental familiarities, now we are allowed to
marry anybody we feeling we can spend the rest of our life with. Why then do
people still fall into the wrong hands? Some claim they fall out of love as
soon they got married, if this was your case, then you were never in love, you
were carried away by either her beauty or his handsome physic or better still
the wealth.
In Africa, the major
reason for marriage is procreation, but citing from the scriptures, procreation
isn’t the major reason for marriage but for companionship. Search deep down
your marriage or you parent’s marriage why exactly are you married or your
parents married?
Point to note, never
rush into marriage because you’re definitely going to rush out, take your time,
Know him/her well, know
his family, because you aren’t marrying just him/her. And be certain you can
spend the rest of your life with him/her.
