It's another moment to share my thoughts on important issues that affect several individuals around the world.
For this post, I'll tell you my opinion on:
- Whether or not marriages are made in heaven.
- Which marriage is preferable? Arranged or love? Why?
In between, I'll share my definition of a happy married life and what could be the root cause of the increase in mental distance and separations among couples.
Set? Leggo.
According to popular belief, marriage is ordained by God. It is said that He created a special partner(s) for everyone.
Emphasis on SPECIAL.
And so if one makes the wrong choice of a life partner, they are fated for doom.
Though every opinion is valid, I sincerely do not believe that there is ONLY ONE PERFECT partner for anyone.
In a world of over 8 billion beautiful souls who have varied personalities, and share different values and opinions, does this mean that two random people can not cohabit together and experience true bliss?
Okay, if this is true, then
- What happens when one loses their spouse?
- What happens when a partner suddenly takes on a bad personality and makes life unbearable for the other?
- Who are narcissists made for? Their kind or innocent humans?
The questions are endless.
If you have an answer for any of these, do well to leave them as a comment.
There's also a conflict of ideas on whether marriage should be arranged or instituted based on love.
To me, none is better than the other. What is more important is that both couples are committed to building a sustainable union.
Reason is:
A successful marriage is built on mutual love and respect.
When these two are absent, there is no peace. And when there's no peace, there's no bliss.
Agreed?
But what creates that distance between spouses?

Numerous factors can cause this. They include
- financial instability
- unrequited love
- infidelity
- physical separation after a given time
- conflict of ideas/thoughts, etc.
Marriage can be sustained when there is mutual respect and love. Whether or not it is arranged or initiated based on love, it's the responsibility of the individuals involved to make an effort to commit to their relationship.

I can feel what you wrote my friend @ukpono. I have seen a narcissist man closely and i can literally write a whole essay on it. They torment others on very unnecessary issue's. How they change afterwards. How their real motives comes upfront. God save all of us from manipulative and narcissists people.
