I saw this on a friend's facebook wall and the last line gave me joy because it meant I could share her great stuff with you all... She says:
The rate at which marriages collapse now is assuming a social status symbol in our society.
In no-time, people will be throwing divorce parties and invite friends and well-wishers to celebrate their divorce anniversaries; they will choose aso-ebi, hire a hall and popular musicians & what have you. A question like "So when are u getting divorced?" will become common.
If you know you can not handle the weight and pressures of marriage, please remain single. If you do not know what marriage is all about, please remain single until you do. If you are getting married because of the things you desire or hope to gain from the other person please remain single. If you know you can not be faithful, remain single. If u can not endure insults from one another, please remain single. If u can not forgive one another's wrongs, please remain single. If u can not place ur spouse above every other human being, pls remain single!
Don't get married out of desperation. "All my friends are getting married" is the most foolish reason to get married. If u desire a successful home but ur choice of friends are forces not to reckon with, think again.
Be very mindful of where you go for advice, Many would give advice, but not many mean well!
If you know you can not put your wife ahead of your ego, please remain single till you are mature. your wife is your priority and EVERYTHING else including you, comes last. You are the teacher, the guide, the bodyguard, the role model - you are not a deity or God. So do not expect to b worshiped. You need respect, earn it by being responsible!
Ladies, if you know you can not be submissive please do not go into marriage so you are not turned into a punching bag! If you know you can't stand being corrected, please remain single. Mr/Mrs I know it all!!! Ladies check your domestic scorecard - if your score is 0, pls stay in your parents' house! People, please make your marriages work.
Read carefully and share it with others. It does not matter if you are Married or Not. Marry for love, marry your friend. Put God first. :-)
