Marriage is an institution that was ordained and begun by God himself, it is a relationship between a man and a woman to be come husband and wife, marriage involved and build on love, care and kindness towards one another, when both the parents of the husband and wife have agree to build a strong relationship between themselves. Some marriage involved on broken homes why because both the husband and wife have not plan for themselves,e.g financial support, shelter, school fees, provision of food for the family e.t.c
A true life story that I have witnessed, my neighbor, they were wedded newly as husband and wife, immediately the wife got pregnant the husband started showing her some attitudes that she could not just understand the man she was married to, he goes out and come back anytime he wanted, he beat her up day and night, accused her of sleeping around with different men, he don't provide her needs for her, he no longer have a single respect to his wife.
He don't eat her food that she prepared, but being a responsible and respectful wife she keep on praying for her broken home. Time reach for her delivery this man was out there following girls up and down forgetting that he has a pregnant woman to take care of. So lucky her sister visited her and found out that she was on her labour, she quickly took her to the hospital and she delivered successful, all the hospital bill it was her sister that payed everything.
All the pains, sorrows, frustration she faced with her husband she could not longer bear it, she managed and stay with her child, when her baby reach two years she demanded for divorced paper and her husband happily gave it to her, she packed her things and took everything that belongs to her and her child to her parents house.
After some years the same man that seems his wife like no body he still went back to her family and he apologize to her again.
Moral lessons, marriage is not all about gathering people to eat and drink, but is all about the peace, harmony, patience, endurance, respect and the use of wisdom to build on love that's what marriage is all about. My dear brothers and sisters before you think of marriage make sure you have planned well and take the responsibility of the family you are about to build, because lack of wisdom, love, care and self control if these things are not envolved it leads some marriage into broken homes.
