MARRIAGE IS NOT ABOUT SINGLE PARENTS OR POLYGAMY BUT IT’S ALL ABOUT TOLERANCE AND LOVE
by Felix Oluwaseun Agbesanwa
Marriage is the process by which two people make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that putatively lasts until death, but in practice is increasingly cut short by divorce.
For every marriage that still stands up till now, it’s because the parties involved have determined to tolerate each other weaknesses. Act of intolerance is a major problem that occurs in many homes. If you can’t tolerate each other excesses, then you are not ripe to get married at all.
Equality in marriages is a major threat to many homes. This caused many men and women to lose their homes to the infidels. Marriage is meant to be enjoyed not to be endured and ought to be an awesome friendship level. Impatience and intolerance usually cause separation and these have made many jettison their marital vows thereby making many to be separated.
Please allow me to state that any woman who fails to have patience and perseverance in marriage will regret any steps taken now. If you pack out of your home because of your husband’s challenges and you settle down with another man, though you may have the comfort now such will not last long. This also applies to men who are greedy and opportunists. If you leave your wife and relocate with another woman, you will cry at the end of your lifetime. Have you forgotten the sacrifice that women have put in to see that you become a better man in the society, the pains, and agonies she passed through with you when you were still struggling to rise?
Please let’s remember the first love. The days of hide and seek, the first day you said ‘I love you’. Don’t forget that storms must come but the way you approach it determines whether you will be carried away with it or not.
It’s not too late to go back to your first love and settle your differences. Please bury your pride and selfish ambition. For those contemplating quitting now, don’t do that, please try to understand each other, please forgive, and let it go.
