Marriage, the oldest institution in the world, is facing unprecedented challenges.
With rising divorce rates, delayed marriages, and increasing numbers of singles, it’s clear that the traditional marriage model is under scrutiny.
Redefining Marriage
A recent discussion sparked by a popular radio personality’s revelation about his failed second marriage has ignited a heated debate.
He questioned whether he’s “wired” for marriage, despite his efforts to care for his ex-wives both marriages crashed.
His assertion that love isn’t a crucial component of a successful marriage has
raised eyebrows.
The Soulmate vs. Lover Debate
The radio personality’s claim that soulmates fare better in marriage than lovers has sparked controversy. He declared that emotional compatibility not love alone is required for marriage. Some couples can’t live together amicably even though they are still in love.
Another celebrity’s comment that men can love multiple women while married has further added fuel to the fire of marriage controversy. Marriage is under tremendous pressure from the woke and Gen Z generation.
A leading traditional actress also dropped this bombshell for single ladies over 35. She advised them to have children at this time because of the biological clock applicable to women.
Remember a top international news anchor chose this route to embrace motherhood on her own. She’s today a proud single mother and a successful media professional.
