"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh "

But... Alas Whats happening to the Marriage institution these days being rocked by institutional strife almost everywhere we know of ?
This is even more so in the Western countries such as Britain USA Australia and Canada to name just a few and also at home in Nigeria . Lots of eligible men are suddenly so damn reluctant to take the sacred vow these days. Few others inside are wanting out . Is it all due to the nature of the times - That the country is so hard and one is better off taking care of oneself first than assuming a responsibility one is not so sure of sustaining ? Yet some have been there and have made the most of it . Do they have a secret of survival or sustenance ? Other aspirers who are holding on may have a good reason to tarry a while . What have you to share ?? oh btw i am not innocent in any way

Some people dont know what marriage is all about and they jump into it, while some other are forced into it... while some never took time to know who they want to marry until they are married and everything falls apart

Thank you so much . for an old topic many would have missed it who just come to NP like myself maybe the reason we might have it enlightening to share with other newer folks even the old ones might wish to look at it from another perspective . Marriage as an institution is important its the bedrock of the society. with the ripple effects outreaching to the widest ends of the society. can we ever exhaust the topic . Thank God we have wise people like you around to share with

Hey, i know marriage is an institution established by God hence nothing should be scary about it. Is my personal opinion a general trend in modern day Africa? i don't think so. What's the point of going into something that would probably not endure the mist of time anyway?

Good question ! I am also of the impression that perhaps ... Some people see marriage differently. Its still better than staying single if people are willing to sacrifice endure and practice true love and avoid infidelity both patners will end up so much the better for it provided they truly mean to give it what it takes . Marriages do last with the right couple
