The rate at which marriages collapse now is assuming a social symbol status in our society.

In few years 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. Even a question like "So when are you getting divorced?" will become commonplace.

If you know that you can't handle the weight and pressures of marriage, please remain single.

If you don't 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't be faithful, remain single.

If you can't endure insults from one another, please remain single.

If you can't forgive one another's wrongs, please remain single.

If you can't place your spouse above every other human being, please remain single!

Don't get married out of desperation.

If you desire a successful home, but your choice of friends are those whose marriages have collapsed. Its simple - they'll make you drink from their poisoned chalice. Once that happens, your marriage is in a process of dying a slow death. Be very mindful of where you go for advice.

Guys, if you know you can't put your wife ahead your ego, please remain single till you're matured. There's no way you can abandon the care of your family at the expense of your lifestyle. They are your priority and everything else including you comes last. You are the teacher, the guide, the bodyguard, the spiritual leader, the role model - you are not a deity. So don't expect to be worshipped. You need respect, earn it by being responsible.

Ladies, if you know you can't be submissive please don't go into marriage so you're not turned to a punch bag!

If you know you can't stand being corrected, please remain single.

Ladies check your domestic scorecard - if your score is zero, please stay in your parents' house! Ladies and gentlemen, marriage isn't,& won't be a bed of roses.

UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS!
