You do not need to look far to realise how bad marriages seem to be these days.
There
are sad relationship/marriage stories spread by the use of social
media, which happens to be where most young people spend their spare
time.
Obviously, there's no way anyone
could ever miss the depressing stories that daily surface about bad
marriages and terrible partners.
But that is really not all there is to marriages and relationships and a London-based Nigerian, Olabiwonninu Olubori,
is on Instagram, trying to spread the word about the beauty and
happiness that marriages could be about if young people will stop being
scared.
Olubori, who has been married for 21 years uses her lovely marriage as an example and writes yesterday, August 30, that:
“I'm
doing this to let people believe that there is still joy in marriage
because, I read on social media that our youth are scared of marriage
this days as if marriage is all doom, gloom, violence and sorrow.
“Most
people wants their children to get married eventually but our children
are fed up with negative and sorrowful news about marriage on social
media and they are scared.
“The
fact that one marriage didn't work doesn't mean you cannot marry again
neither does it discredit the institution of marriage as ordained by
God.
“As
most youth don't want to marry again, understand that marriage is about
love, patience, respect, understanding, trust, endurance, forgiveness
and tolerance.
“Though, this
is not the month of my marriage and me and my husband are not
celebrating our marriage anniversary but we are creating a positive
impressions to the younger generations that you can celebrate your
marriage every time and everywhere you have the opportunity and not once
in a year.
“Every human being has what they like and what gives them joy.
“I love words of love, reassurance and proposal to make me feel like a new bride every time and he enjoys doing it...
“My
king bought me a new ring after I lost one of my wedding rings and he
proposed to me again when we went to Bluewater shopping centre to buy a
phone the same day we bought the new wedding ring...
“Devils
love to hear about home breakup and it's the latest and hottest news
that is on trend but the word of God says, God hates divorce, in book of
Malachi 2 verse 14 to 16...
"Marriage is good, Marriage is fun. Don't allow others to redefine you."
There you have it guys, marriage is what you make of it - a safe, happy haven or a terrible place where sadness never ceases.
Choose happiness, people!
