ALABACONNECT:
Welcome to a "woke" generation.

Don't be deceived divorce was equally rampant during the days of your ancestors. They used women in marriage only to toss them back to their father's homes either when they were tired or making space a new chasis. Women cast back in such manner were caused to live in shame for the rest of their lives and as such hid their truth in order than another suitor would maybe come for them. That practice of abandonment rather than legal divorce is still embraced even to this day. Only now it is criminalized and people now forced towards the official divorce path which pitches the man against the woman --- no longer just the man deciding..

Seriously I've seen more marriages of uneducated couples lasting very long than the educated ones, what could be the reason for this?

All.of them be sodiq

You chose to impose it on me and I don't know how to put up further defense

First marriage is not for two strict people, one has to fall mugu or better still overlook and accept many things.
A graduate is more advance and have some white man mentality because they are educated and can read whatever both online and offline while am uneducated woman has am africa mentality which she knows the man is the head of the house, she can accept many of his mistakes just as u forgive ur children of their mistakes but am educated wife take everything serious because of pride and entitle mentality there by competing with her husband.
You can take advantage of ur uneducated wife in so many occasions compared to the educated one.
If u have an uneducated women who is business minded and has understanding then just open business for her and have a happy family e.g orhobo and igbo women are very good examples, while an educated working woman will some times prefer her work more than the marriage all because she want to be dependent.
Op their are more but just

You raised very valid points.

Origin:
Abeg carry your myopic world view away from here. So many uneducated ladies with 2-3 prior marriages but you are using famous divorces to judge.

And in this archaic and myopic view you all believe that divorces are caused by women? That marriage successes are based on the efforts of the wife....

That Mr A will read and it is Mr B that will pass the exams? That as educated as you are you would base the success of a marriage on an uneducated woman. Or that you would choose an uneducated woman as the mother of your kids.

I love all women in whatever shapes they come and would hope that even if one falls for an uneducated woman one would do their utmost to make them educated.

U dey vex o. Take am easy na simple conversation. No go slap person from phone. Abi na him say make APC dey power? I beg be calming down.

Cos they no sabi anything

Because both claim to be smarter than the other. And none of them can take "shit" from the other person. Then there's the certificate/influence issue amongst some individuals

The Apple wey evil eat no work then, na now he dey work.

Self righteousness, entitlement mentality, gender equality, social media distractions, improved earnings of female gender, African traditional marriage institutions and the attempt by men to preserve it, women emancipation, covetousness, lack of trust and understanding, promiscuity hidden under work or business engagements and so on. These factors are more available to the educated fold than the uneducated ones. Only one is sufficient to destroy a marriage and we have most marriages influenced by two or more.

Too much sense dey kill educated marriages ni

They lives by African standard of moral and value.

I actually feel that the marriages of uneducated people don't last. The marriages of educated people are usually done properly and each mostly have their jobs and sources of livelihood.

Whereas those uneducated people mostly get married and the girl/ lady who is the wife to be usually have nothing doing financially so is a liability or is earning peanuts with many kids. I have seen husbands just picking up few stuffs and leaving the homes for the wife and kids when the burden almost chokes the life of the man who himself is probably an artisan or gateman

Go to idumota, yaba, trade fair and see uneducated women controlling billions yet have respect and loyalty to thier hubby

Is like marrying a City girl and you expect the marriage to last long why going to village and marry to have peace of mind ..

Educated once is too much of knowledge that will make the marriage to collapse while uneducated once no much grammar,no social media chatting, no idea to lies , no money to booked an hotel , no time for unnecessary drama ..

Seriously I've seen more marriages of uneducated couples lasting very long than the educated ones, what could be the reason for this?

Both my parents are highly educated and their marriage has lasted for 47 years now and counting. They got married in 1976

Education somehow makes people exposed and wild at same time

U as an example , ur fluency in English has helped u attack people here on Nairaland even on negligible issues .
If to say na marriage, u think say e go easy?
I mean, wahala fit don sup one time or d other

Education isn't the problem here. It's always "over-unnecessary-exposure". Most failed marriages are caused by trends. Some people just want a change of partner.

Your second paragraph reveals trauma!

You need to talk to someone who can help

Skyview01:
First, you are making an unsubstantiated claim! What is your source ?

Secondly, you are free to go to the village and mary an illiterate mgbeke girl, give birth to mgbeke children and wait for your marriage to last.

too much of book is a disease sometimes. everybody will want to claim boss.

IconicR:
Does education makes people have bad behavior?

Where would people have gotten Feminism if not from Education?

It's because uneducated people are stupid WHILE educated ones are wise. Meanwhile, it takes absolute stupidity to have a long lasting marriage.

First of all we have to define what it means to be educated: because educstiinnis not by degree/certificate

Hope u know that the uneducated man overlooks a lot of excesses from the wife too

They are on average more tolerable than rhair educated peers

OboOlora:
Uneducated people don’t know about the legal process of divorce and the perks for women.

Come abroad, both uneducated and educated de pursue the husband once they know the house would be theirs and child support go choke lol

-"Perks for women". Women always looking to live on the coat-tail of men. It's truly a man's world.

-By the way in legal proceedings, family homes are left for the woman to use and raise the kids, especially when the man has a decent pension. So to protect his pension, he has to let go of the family home. Otherwise, they can sale it and share the proceeds.

-And how is the family breakdown and fatherless homes helping their society abroad? Is the "Great" still in the Britain, or "United" still in the States?

-No great society has ever been built without the men leading the home front. As soon as man leaves the home, what you have left is a vulnerable woman and even more vulnerable and confused children. Go to the best institutions in the West and check out the groups leading it. It remains those from groups that still value traditional family structure.

-Well, maybe you’re actually enjoying the societal degradation of the "abroad".

Unfortunately, I could not find any data for Nigeria but a quick google search will show you that in Western countries the divorce rate is higher for the poor, uneducated and unskilled.

it can always be assumed so,but in reality it isn't.

For a marriage to work the husband and the wife must contribute towards the success of that marriage not just one sided

You focused solely on the woman thereby ignoring that men sometimes also have their own flaws that threaten the marriage to fail

Marriages of uneducated people also fail

Marriage is deep..Whether educated or uneducated,if that marriage lacks a solid foundation,it will collapse

Educated woman is a plus+ especially if you understand each other (communication important) and vibe on the same frequency. But expect enough gbas-gbos in BTW.
Advantage: when you're not there, she knows how to pull one or two things together.
But these Uneducated ones, U go explain tire.

Educated people in marriage don't tamw their ego dey fell they know too much
