JEGA01:yeah,I concur with your submission. Most of them are stereotypical in their rules failing to understand the flexibilities in human affairs. They create and envisage this ideal relationship which they bolt out from if they can't find the type of life dogmas they hold 2 Likes |

I am pained and gutted when I read comments by young Nigerians about a post such as this being too lengthy, we are just advertising our laziness and showing to the world exactly why Nigeria is where it is today. The Bible says "study to show thyself approved", Nigerian youths and please stop complaining and start studying! Thanks to Op for the points raised 1 Like |

You are not married?? Then honestly your point become invalid in married people's eyes. There is a lot of things that an unmarried person will never understand until they are married, no matter if you have been a marriage counsellor or marriage observer for as long as you live. Madam personally, I commend you for the time you spent writing this piece of article eeeeh. But let me tell you, there is a lot that we (married) people go through it cannot be summarised by this one page you wrote. The points you wrote are the points that you look out for before marriage ( before tying the knot) . You cannot look for effective communication only after marriage, that has to be done before marriage. Once you tie that knot,things become more complex than this one page you wrote. Things like extended family, religion, future goals and plans, values, how you were raised in etc. Let me share one personal story. My hubby grew up with an irresponsible father. So MIL raised him and his siblings single handedly. I didn't see it coming before marriage. So after marriage, trouble started. It was now expected of me to disrespect my FIL and join my hubby and his siblings to make him pay for all he has done in all these past years. I had to sit down and weigh things. I thought to myself: 1. I was not there when all this happened, so I have nothing to do with everything. 2. After all this they are blood, they can forgive each other after everything but it may be hard to forgive me. 3. What happened to forgiveness. Who made me judge. Have his kids not done wrong? 4. My bible gives me 10 commandments one of them is "Honour your father and your mother....... How do I expect a good and blessed life if I disrespect a parent? 5. If he can do this to his father he can do this to my parents. Etc. In all this I have to stand ground on a daily basis. Stand against my hubby and his siblings and MIL from influencing me into disrespecting a man that never disrespected me. Now they call him my father. He is not their father. So tell me what does my story fit into your points It's easy to say "effective communication" but it's not easy to do "effective communication in marriage" There is a lot that even scholars and counsellors have not been able to put all in one book. They always title their books "10 things that lead to failed marriage" etc. while acknowledging the complexities. Nevertheless, this can help the unmarried to choose and those about to marry to focus on some things to look out for, but cannot help sustain a marriage. But good write up I pray that you get married and come and write something again. |

I don't understand the point of this post. OP, the reasons you listed, though valid, are reasons others have discussed before, that authors have written hundreds of books on. I mean, there could be another post just like this (or something similar) somewhere on Nairaland. Do a Google search and you'll see plenty of write-ups just like this one. In other words, your contribution to this topic did not introduce any new idea or different opinion as to why marriages are unsuccessful. Some of the topics that make front page surprise and confuse me. |

misssclassy:Classy, I wish to commend you for the great job just that most of us suffer from Papyrohobia and Megalophobia. Let's reexamine the whole tale OBJECTIVELY, you have every right to educate the society and display your God given talent. And WE (The readers) have every right to criticize you (Either for FUN or otherwise) that's eLife for you! Let's take a look @ the famous JEGA vs Orubebe's 'drama'.... Jega had every right to vomit fire and rainstorm on Orubebe for trying to discredit his job, character assassination and paint him black but Jega opted for dialogue. His maturity and display of crisis management earned him a deserved status.. A HERO!!! Please, next time Missy, make your point(s) brief and avoid repetition on a paragraph. We your readers would appreciate. We have lots to ready and perhaps comment upon....lolz And secondly, as emphasized by Sleekyshuga, learn how to IGNORE some comment(s)/people when UPSET. Turn every potential or perceived FOES to friends via your response. The life is too short having eWar with people online. We learn daily Missy, a 'lol, lolz, or ' to MOST comments would put some people at bay. (That's how I handle some guys lately and it works) Remember we are on a Social Platform dealing with different characters and backgrounds. So never expect everyone to reason your way. Lastly, don't let Anthropophobia discourage you from future topic(s) write up. Have a lovely weekend Missy and God bless! Cc Lalasticlala Ishilove JEGA01 5 Likes 5 Shares |

D major causes of divos is tempremental incompactibility: Do u knw dat temprmnt is an inheritd trait dat cn't b naturaly/humanly chang but can b modify by divine intavntion (Holy Spirit as in a born-again). Tempramnt detamins ones liks nd dsliks, dos nd dnts, tolerant nd intolrant, wekneses nd strenght etc. It wil help u 2 knw wot ur patna is capable of, b4 he does d actual tin. It is tempramnt Eg. SANGUIN, CHLORIC, MLANCHLY AND PHLGMATIC is responsible 4 80% of sucesful or faild mariag(most of d oda tins dat causes divo r tmprementaly induced). Did u doubt? Ok, y is it dat many ppls (includn men of God) who claimd 2 hv seen revlation or heard frm God abt dia patnas 2 b, leta end up in marital prblms nd divos? Bt, hv u considad y som of our 4fadas who nida pray 2 God or did kotshp, bt made a gud mariag? But Note: not all our 4fadas made gud marag. D problm then & now is dat Peopl just mary whom dey think dey love witout knwin how 2 run compactblty test. Such marag is band 2 fail wen difrnces sets in, xcept dey co-incdentaly bcomes compactible. Lov alone wil nt grantee a marag witout pain. Eg. A chleric who is rocky and hot tempad suposd 2 mary phlgmatic who is meek and easy going. Dat ha qalty wil absob hs tempa or else she wil b recivin beatn all d time. Nw, if dia is lov, d man wil later apologiz and if dey r incompactbl, he wil stil beat ha again. |

JEGA01:na so,true talk. Bt which ever way, one or two of what she wrote is responsible. Marriage is meant for two nt one so even if one of them is ok,d oda might not b. N theirs a limit one strenght could reach n even atimes you'll just find out that it doesn't just working out. |

Re: Reasons Why Most Marriages Fail In Nigeria by Nobody: 6:44pm On Jul 06, 2015 |
@OP, lack of love and honesty. Usually the parties involved are convinced they love each other and are ready to make sacrifices through love. Unfortunately, when problems arise they tend to give up and blame each other. This kind of love is what i call "cupboard love". Another drawback is acceptance of each other's families. A marriage is bound to collapse in the future if the families don't like each other. Families of course play an important in marriage. |
