Marriage is a beautiful thing to be enjoyed and not endured. And if several marriages lasted in the past, why are many marriages failing today? Why are several people scared of getting married, when in the past, it was not so?
Reasons Why Marriages Fail Today.
(1) Waste of Emotions in Dating: Some have wasted their emotions with the wrong people while dating, to the point that their current emotions may not be good enough for marriage. Marrying with damaged emotions or with a person who has damaged emotions may lead to divorce.
(2) Sex Soul-Tie: Sex soul-tie is like a covenant established during pre-marital or extra-marital sex. This is what probably makes some married persons go back to their exes for sex, e.t.c. Some married persons may have to imagine their Exes during sex with their spouse, just to feel fulfilled.
(3) Too Many Bad Persons: The number of good people seems to be fewer than before, so picking a good spouse today is by God’s grace.
Again, many people have red flags in them.
(4) Wrong Gender Equality: If a woman can submit to her boss or pastor, she has no tangible reason not to submit to her husband. Again, a man is not to share his responsibilities with his wife. He is to provide for her and love her.
If this cannot work, couples may separate for a while, get fixed, and come back again.
(5) Undue High Standard: Looking for extreme expectations.
(6) Lack of Humility and Unwillingness to Change: A man with a bad character should not be preaching submission. He should change his ways.
If couples are humble and do well to work on themselves, marriage can go well.
