Marriage is holy

The National Letters

A PERSON who honours his or her marriage and family life will save this nation.
Today, the days are evil and many marriages and families are facing lots of problems.
There is instability in family, and young people are having trial marriages.
The rate of divorce, unplanned marriage, teenage pregnancy, family and sexual violence, and crime by parentless kids are high.
The fact that marriage is sacred is immovable.
Marriage is not a thing for two people to come into union for a moment, experiment sex and depart in separate ways.
It is not something teenage youths can use as a medium for socialising.
It is holy in the eyes of God and people. You must safeguard your marriage and family life.
In the turmoil of corruption and violence, you can find greater happiness in your life.
This is because a good marriage and family life, formed in reverence to God, brings many good tidings which can help you battle your way to any goal, whether it be finance, education, health or spiritual.
Many people who are living a good marriage life will agree with me.
In good marriage and family life you can find:

  • Love – something that can mend your broken heart;
  • Prudence – something that can make you wise;
  • Patience – something that can give you peace;
  • Hope – something that can shed light in the darkest hour of your life;
  • Confidence – strength for you to take one step further; and
  • Perseverance – the hunger for progress.
     

Therefore, don’t play around with your marriage.
If you don’t keep your marriage and family obligations, then you are giving this country to the dogs.
