It's quite disheartening to say that one of the prevalent challenges in the society is marriage especially in the space where I live. I would like to believe also in other parts of the world through reports and news I have received thus far. Every criminal you see today hails from a family and there's no family without marriage directly or indirectly.
There are different kinds of marriage and some are traceable to the kind of culture that exists within such terrain. Some types marriages today are defined based on religion or belief system. I wouldn't want to talk about others but for the purpose of this prompt my view will be under the umpire of the Christiaan faith.
I have started settling marital issues before I was even married due to my position and grace that God gave me. Marriage is not what we think presently is. With the advancement in technology, there is aberration in what our predecessor did. What baffles me is that with the kind of development and knowledge we have why is it that many marriages doesn't last? I have taken stock of events even before my eyes of marriages that didn't work just in less than a year while others just in two weeks.
Let me quickly share what happened in my locality recently of a couple that got married and expired in two weeks. What was the matter? It was the issue of money after reception. The woman felt people from her own side sprayed more money than her husband hence the money gathered should be shared with her having great percentage. This was why the marriage scattered. This is so sad. What would have happened to our predecessors like my father that married my mother for more than 53years now yet bounded to one another in love, peace and unity. There's something we aren't getting right in our generation despite modernisation which supposed to better things.

On the subject of pre nuptial agreement, I don't subscribe to this just as I have earlier stated in the prelude. This shouldn't be seen in a Christian standard marriage. When you aren't sure of who to marry is better you patiently wait and seek direction properly. Why do you want to marry? Have you known your purpose in life? What's the purpose of the man? What are you coming to do in the life of the man? When vital questions aren't considered most at times such marriage can't be sustained.
Thanks for reading through my entry for this edition. All comments appreciated.
The foundational thing about marriage is trust. When you don't have build it on a solid foundation of trust definitely it would affect the entire building or marriage. Sometimes you wonder what people do in courtship. Pre nuptial agreement to me I'm not in support of it. The essence of marriage is not on the issue of properties and materials therefore no need of establishing any agreement of such. One of my tenant got married to a beautiful woman just in less than one year she packed all her things and left via court injunction.
Love is not just enough but understand your purpose will help to lubricate a smooth run of the marriage.
