INTRODUCTION

First i will like us to get an understanding of what marriage is.
MARRIAGE:It is a legal and social union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners. As described in the bible, marriage is a God-ordained, covenant relationship between a man and a woman. This lifelong, sexually exclusive relationship brings children into the world and thus sustains the stewardship of the earth.

CONTRACT MARRIAGE on the other hand, a written contract entered into by a couple before marriage or a civil union that enables them to select and control many of the legal rights they acquire upon marrying, it places certain conditions on the relationship, and if those conditions aren't met, the relationship can be dissolved. It usually specifies a period of of time.

what is your understanding of the statement "for better and for worse till death do is part"?

During marriage vows are usually made. And one of these vows includes "for better and for worse" . What does this statement mean?
It means that you accept the positive or negative outcomes of any situation and accept that these outcomes cannot be changed. it involves being committed to that person .Commitment is a mindset, an attitude, and a way of thinking that will enable you and your spouse to navigate through.

Another vow made during marriage is" till death do us part" . What does it mean too? It means that means death should be the only thing that will separate the married couple for their whole lives.
Though this common phrase doesn’t mean that the couple can’t separate if they want to later on, it’s used to emphasize the importance of trying to make a marriage work to the best of your ability.This phrase is also an important part of the ceremony due to the emphasis that parting in marriage should only be for serious matters, not little things.

which do you prefer marriage for life or a contract marriage

I strongly prefer marriage for life. I'm a Christian and I belief in what the bible says. And from what is in the bible marriage for life is preferable because it is a covenant between two people which means we put the needs of the relationship ahead of our own needs,and by so so doing it will be enjoyable and can last for a lifetime .

Do you agree that house chores should not be a role attached to a particular gender?

Yes I agree! When both the husband and wife share in household chores, it helps to strengthen their bond as a couple. Beacayse while doing the chores together they communicate and also get to know each other more.
In many places , people believe that household chores are supposed to be done by women. But I disagree with that . To me, the chores should be done by both partners depending on their work schedule and availability at home. And when it is done by both partners it lighten the work and makes it go faster.

It is important to promote gender equality. Gender equality starting at home, brings respect to both partners and thus makes the society a better place.

Consider yourself a specialist in the field, and share some tips with youths about marriage?

~ Communicate clearly and often:
Talking with your spouse is one of the best ways to keep your marriage healthy and successful. Be honest about what you're feeling, but be kind and respectful when you communicate. Part of good communication is being a good listener and taking the time to understand what it is your spouse wants and needs from you. Keep the lines of communication open by talking often, and not just about things like bills and the kids. Share your thoughts and feelings.

~ Tell your spouse that you're thankful for having him or her in your life.Take a few minutes each evening to tell each other at least one thing you appreciated that day.

~ Make time for you two as a couple.Plan special dates, either to go out or just stay at home. If you have children, send them on a play date while you relax, talk, and enjoy each other's company. This might not be easy but it's really important.

~Plan for some personal time.

~Understand that it's OK to disagree.You won't agree on everything, but it is important to be fair and respectful during disagreements. Listen to your spouse's point of view. Try not to get angry and don't let yourself become too frustrated. Walk away and calm down if you need to, then discuss the problem again when you're both in a better frame of mind.

~ Build trust.couples need to learn how to trust each other . Because trust is something that when list is difficult to get back. So partners should try as much to trust each other.

~ Learn to forgive.Everyone makes mistakes. Your spouse may hurt your feelings or do something that upsets you, and that may make you angry, even furious. But it's important to deal with your feelings, let them go, and move on. don’t keep bringing up the past.
And above all these the couple should ensure to involve God in their marriage .

conclusion

Marriage has ups and down and is a bond between tow imperfect people. But we can succeed with the help of the points mentioned above. Husbands should respect and love their wives and wives do same too. Marriage is not perfect but putting in your utmost best can help partners to go a long way.
