Why is divorce so rampant these days?Is it not because people now prepare for wedding more than they prepare for marriage? Most parents are not concentrating on teaching their children how to build a good family anymore but put more interest on how the wedding day will be?Most people do not even know why they get married.Is marriage all about money?

Wedding is a special event, but marriage is a process.Wedding is a one-day affair, but marriage is "until death do us part". Sometimes, wedding is a four-hour affair which people invest so much on, but marriage which is for life is not given required attention, preparation and quality investment.Wedding is a public event, that is why it is usually attended by people from all works of life, but marriage is a private affair. After wedding, witnesses, supporters, sponsors, ministers of God, bridal train withdraw to their homes, and marriage between the bride and groom begins privately in their newly found home.I hope someone understands better now

There are legitimate reasons for seeking a divorce, and nobody should be vilified for choosing to leave a marriage for legitimate reasons. When you have lived long enough in this world you realize that you can do everything right and still not reap a harvest.

@poster.you are right.most people spend too much energy and time on wedding preparation and think less about life after wedding.and sumtimes,its money issues.spending all the money they have on wedding or taking loans and not been able to pay back can really stress both couple up.big time stress,instead of been happy they are sad ,cos they are thinking too much and working too hard just to pay back the loans.and you are so right,most people dont even know why they get married or why they are getting married.hmmm seems everyone is so quick to forget that love is patient.A true love grows with time.

Plzzzzz tell me the dif btw marriage and wedding cos am lost here
most marriage don't work cos
1. TRUST: No body can truly be in love without trusting. most marriage don't work cos eg the sopuses suspects one another for infidelity or diverting/wasting the finances.
2. BELIEVE: When u don't trust someone u can't believe that person except. Any couple who don't trust and believe can't love one another.
3.COMMUNICATION: A gap is always left in marriage when theres a communication breach between couples. Learn to talk to ur spouse and also learn to listen attentively, besides advice them and say ur opinions in a right manner: with respect.
4. RESPECT: spouses should learn to respect one another totally. also its important to respect relatives, inlaws, colleagues, friends and neighbours.
SEX: don't be selfish during love making. for couples, love making is a sacred vow between the couple and GOD to always love one another. it also means that the couple are one being. it has a very deep spiritual implication when violated cos it involves the fusion of both spirit and body. NEVER INDULGE IN EXTRA MARRITAL SEX.
LOVE: Learn to love ur spouses and be in love with one another without clause.
Always see positivity in any thing your partner does and support him/her if u've both analysed it. Learn to accept faults and appologise. Don't raise any ego Don't bring a third party into ur union. Before ur children came ur spouse was. Spend quality time with ur spouse alone. spend quality time with kids and also take time to have holidays or leisures with ur family. tough times will always certainly come don't loose hope on them or ur union.
MOST IMPORTANTLY PRAY TOGETHER ALWAYS
happy married lives to all married and May GOD direct all singles in finding their rightful GOD GIVEN partner amen
