we all know that divorce cases have been on the rise,thanks to society and culture.I attended a friend's graduation ceremony few days ago and its only then that reality struck,God willing next year same time i'll be the lady in a black gown and I couldn't help marvell at the thought,but something happened and dreaded that moment.It was cake cutting time,yeah that moment that no one wants to miss,it's after that,that u will see people slowly pick their handbags/newspapers and leave quietly,hoping no one notices them.. so an elderly woman was requested to pray for the cake,a string of lines flowed then came this one.."...dear Lord we pray and trust that well be assembled here again in the shortest time possible to cut yet another cake for..i dont remember what the justifications were as i took some time to ingest and digest that ,but i noticed quite a number of heads nod in agreement and spit out powerful 'yeses' to that..like really?yes,my friend was done with her undergraduate course which to the society equates to being ripe and ready for the marriage piece of cake.
seemingly,this is the pressure most young adults go through the moment that society bell rings,they rush and grab that lady/man they kissed once just to meet society's expectations,come on! a kiss means no love,ask Jesus about Judas.Marriage is not a picnic they say,its a lifetime institution.Its a whole combination of love,friendship,compatibility,respect,understanding,trust,faithfullnes,and much more i believe..a love doctor can assist me with that and the moment one of these virtues enstranges another then dislike begins to creep in and its when people realize it was all a mistake and when that happens and you decide to correct the mistake the same society comes in full force to condenm you..
so youve been wondering where statements like "When you marry an African woman, she must know the second one is on the way, and a third wife"..spring up from?
most of these 'people' that were quick to pass that bill are/were victims of wrong choices made and they want to correct them without the society pointing a finger..am one of the few that will let that prayer pass with the wind until am sure i have the right partner,for the right reasons even if it means hitting my forties.we can bet on that because it's only over my body that I will marry for society. period
