Recently there has been this sudden trend of married couples turning to social media to vent about their woes and troubles in paradise.I feel its very childish and unnecessary and yes i am still entitled to my opinion at the same time respecting yours.Why turn IG,Facebook and BBM to Dr Phil or Oprah?
When you both chose each other out of the kazillion homosapien roaming Planet Earth and decided to have and to hold till death do you part the rest of us were not part of it, not until you decided to host us to eating your jollof rice (for those who were lucky to have a plate). Now that reality has hit you, and you find out that this journey of life is making you both discover the good, the bad and the ugly of each other's character, please try to deal with it privately.
Yes he is a chronic cheat, but you chose to love all of him didn't you? You can't bear it that she is a nag and very rude but hey, the tall stunning beauty was the one for you and there was no way you could have traded her for the average looking Bimpe at that time. I know its really hard for you all to do it especially now that technology has made social media the new cool but please folks, do try to keep your dirty linens within the family. Marriage comes with enough drama to make Shakespear green with envy. This is not news because our parents, grandparents, great-grand ancestors were lead actors and actresses in this age long movie but they worked it out. They stayed in it,accepted their fates, vented and made up.To invite a third party in was almost a no-no .They didn't remove their titles, they didn't do public apologies, they didn't announce to the world first that they were getting a divorce over ''irreconciliable differences'' before their significant others heard the news.
God created this institution to be honorable, to be enjoyed not endured,it should be respected.
It is pathetic that Couples no longer talk face to face, all communications are done via social media, this days wetin we no dey see? As crazy and perverted as the world is turning we need to hold on to the last reins of our morality and sanity no matter how much it is slipping away. God is the author of marriage and i may not know what you are going through right now, but i know He isnt an author of confusion.Everything He makes is beautiful and good, so instead of splashing the woes and frustrations all over social media, take it to Him on bended knees, with Him nothing is beyond repair. Talk to your partner, agree to disagree, agree to get angry, then agree to work things out.
And if you are still single, tolerance, patience and understanding can be learnt now in your relationship as this will come in handy when you finally get hitched.
