Charles Oputa aka area fada
shares his thoughts on today’s marriage.
I
swear, I am very saddened how the marriage institution is going down the drain
these days. Young people are no longer responsible or disciplined enough to
stick it out in any given relationship and I fear that in the next five years,
marriage as we know it, may become old fashion. Na WA!!
A while back, I was
talking to one of my sons who at 38 still can't rap his head around the
permanence of marriage and this gave me cause for concern when he asked me,
"why must marriage be forever or for better for worse, and couldn’t it be
for maybe a few years as mutually agreed."
I
may be old/new school, but I still believe in Family and Marriage. I believe
that every human being is created to have a desire to be married and some have
a desire to be single. But most of us want to be married. So, you CANT have a
healthy marriage with unhealthy habits. Mbanu!!! Whether or not a young couple
stay together often depends on why they got married in the first place. Take it
from me, It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy
marriages. Being married to the same person for almost 38 years has thought me
that marriage is no moimoi, neither is it beans and rice. Both parties must
work at it daily and must give all of himself /herself every-day, forever. For
me and my wife we are committed to managing each other because the devil we
know is better than the Angel to come.
Marriage
like I keep saying is how we maturely deal with our incompatibility rather than
our compatibility.
So
if you are having challenges in your marriage, and you really want to stay
married but need to talk to someone to share your problems with, you can call
Charles Emeka Oputa on 08033076993, maybe we will learn a thing or two from each
other. Your call will be strictly confidential".
