I have heard married men (they are always men) sound warnings whenever a young man wants to marry. You will hear them say, marriage is hard, ooh dont be so excited, ooh ask so and so who have had it rough, these women you see happy with you im courtship will turn into hell once married and many threats of blah blah blah and most of them are Christians. Whenever you hear them speak, you will think you are entering into a battle zone. So should someone not get married just because one is passing hell on earth in marriage? I have never seen any driver quit driving because of accidents on the road, neither have you stopped travelling because of the same. Marriage, just as any other institution, has got challenges. But with God, who presided over the first marriage you can enjoy marriage to the fullest. You can become an example to other couples. This negative perception and tendencies on marriages is what makes many of them fail. I heard somebody say, dont give a woman all of your heart. Ofcourse i expect that from a non believer but not from a true Christian. When we follow the bible principles outlined 1 Cor 13:4-8 we shall overcome divorces and live in harmony in our families.
