MARRIAGE AS A BUSINESS ENTITY

This thing called marriage sef! Yes I know so much has been said about this entity world over even on this platform but I have to add my little contribution. It comes with its natural ups and downs but....Mind you,my contribution is borne out of a personal experience.

Hmmm! Marriage to some families is purely business,a shrewd one at that. Yes there will always be clash of interests in any kind of union but it should rather be a win~win situation. It is said that it takes two(2) to tangle.
But how do one possibly explain the interest of a family that is perpetually in the habit of ripping young men off of their hard earned money during elaborate traditional and white weddings and their daughter still end up under this parents' roof?
Selfishness,as pointed out in an article by https://steemit.com/marriage/@princefm/reason-why-teenage-marriage-fail-in-nigeria came handy. Selfishness this time is not just on the part of the man and/or woman but also on the part of the parents kill marriages as quick as you can imagine.
Before I close,it is important I mention the key role MATURITY plays in marriage. Marriages are meant for mature minds. Maturity has little or nothing to do with age(s),it goes far beyond it. The maturity (among many other things,though) of the two(2) key players ~husband and wife~ goes a long way in determining if their marriage survives or not.
And I close with this advice to ladies,most especially,be wise. Do not allow your parents ruin your lives/homes for their own selfish interests. Again,be wise.
