Why are we having increasing rate of Marital failures?

This is a tropical question that usually bothers people mind and thinking today and it even makes people to shy away from marriage and the responsibilities associated with marriage .

This is largely because of the increasing divorce rates , separation , trouble relationship , break up that we are all experiencing in our modern society today.

More than 50% of marriages in the United States end up in break up, separation and divorce today after 5-10 years of marriage and
up to one million children in the US every year suffer the psychological and emotional trauma of breakup and broken relationship.

The rate of failure in marriage is seriously affecting us here in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

This statistics makes mostly young people growing up to dare marriage thinking whether it will work for them since it did not work for their parents.

I just want to let you know that not withstanding the available statistics and experience that we have in our society today,
you can still build up strong lasting relationship and marriage only if you are willing to give it the commitment,
trust and faith that going into a marriage relationship demands of you with all your heart and faith belief that your marriage will certainly work for you and your spouse to be.

The reason why you are scare about marriage today is because of the ugly experiences that marriage has presented to us in our present generation and most of the ugly experiences today ,
we see it right from our homes with our parents and you have been thinking whether you should get married because you do not want to end up with a relationship filled with great pain, worry and disappointment that could make you to become an emotional rake even though like the idea of marriage and the marriage institution comes with respect and regards for people that are in it .

You also want to have someone that could love share your love with , spare time together to build a home and a family and the current challenges ,experiences is making you to be scared.

You can certainly overcome all that and be able to build a great relationship that stand the test of time.

The reasons are so obvious, most of the marriages of today are built on falsehood and deception and a gross failure among intending couples to look beyond the present situations before proceeding in contracting a marriage

I think it is becos a lot of people don't know the true meaning of marriage.They think marriage is something they can just jump into without giving it a thought forgetting that it is a life time commitment

Its because most people spend their time sleeping around when they ought to sit down, think and prepare.

A marriage you don't prepare for will confuse you. Preparation determines your experience.
You don't prepare in marriage, you prepare for marriage.
The way you lay your bed, the way you lie on it.
People spend 5years studying about rats and lizards but can't read a book on marriage.
They thought marriage is all about finding a right man/woman. Every fulfilling marriage is a product of adequate preparation.
You won't stop hearing about divorce and breakups until people learn to spend time preparing for weddingmarriage

All the dissertations in the world isn't necessary....

The only reason why marriages/relationships shortens is because lack of maturity and common sense. If you aren't mature mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, verbally, and sexually you will not stand a chance.

Common sense will tell you not to leave your mother and sister in the house with your man when you know they are professional hoes!!

Speaking of sexually...i am not talking about being experienced but knowing the pleasures and discomforts of your body.

I'm single but the stories I hear about abuse, cheating and unpredictable character changes scare me. Hopefully God will give me the grace to say yes to the right one & also be someone's "soul mate"

What I find particularly shocking is the high rate of marital failure within the EU countries. One would have thought that with the high level of romance and 'public displays of affection' amongst European couples, that they would enjoy long-term marriages but alas, the reverse is the case.

In my opinion, there is definitely a correlation between 'love' and marital failure. A society that believes in 'love' is likely to be the same society that would suffer from marital failures. If we take a look at the African countries, we will realise that societies that practise the old-fashioned type of matrimony, whereby each party plays the old-fashioned roles, tends to enjoy long-term marriages.

The solution is to get rid of this 'love' mentality. Couples should come together purely based on mutual symbiosis and compatibility. They should also realise that marriage is not meant for everyone, some people are perfectly happy with being in a long-term partnership rather than face the perils of an unholy union.

Lets get real.....

The number of years married is not a true indication of a happy marriage.

The true definition of a happy marriage is when two couple is content and compatible. It has nothing to do with the number of kids.......number of years married....and if the spouse still alive.

There are equally amount of separation.....divorce....and misery in many marriages AROUND THE WORLD...you cant divorce if your spouse is dead. I bet there are more widows in the East than it is in the West.
