Relationships and marriages have changed in recent times, because of civilization and social media, in the past, relationship and marriage used to be something one would admire and want to experience because of how the people of the past used to make it look like.

Nowadays relationships and marriages it's all about money, wealth, connection, power and firm, people get married nowadays because of what they stand to gain after getting married and not for love, to many young people this day's relationship and marriage is fun to them, people hurriedly get into marriage within 2-6 months there are out from the marriage, to them marriage is like a game where you get in to the field and play for some hours and come out at the end of those hours.

In those good old days, before a man will meet a woman he has to prepare for it and he most have seen her some couple of times before walking up to her, sometimes it used to be through writing of letters where he will write at learnt expressing his feelings through the letter and telling her on the spot where they will meet and conclude their discussion in a quiet and lonely place away from crowd and people, at the meeting point the girl will be shy unable to even bring her face up, not to talk of looking at the guy in the face, and when the guy will be telling her sweet things, you will see her breathing heavily finding it very difficult to even speak because she has not felt that way before, the only thing she can say will be like... I will think about it, and the guy will be like... for how long, maybe two weeks the girl will reply, and then they will depart to their various homes, and meet again same spot only on the agreed date.

And before they will even think of sex after she has accepted his relationship, she most have visited his place like 2-3 months, and they have to be in agreement, the girl have to be ready for it, and he most seek her permission before anything of such can happen.

Nowadays, the reverse is the case, a guy can just meet a girl on the street for the first time and start talking to her about relationship, a girl can go to the club meet a guy at the club after a little dance together he will take her home just for the first time and have sex with her, they call it (one-night stand) without getting to even know her name, or who she is, where she's from, what she does and the girl too knowing nothing about the guy, the both of them will just go ahead and have sex for the first time.

People used to fall in love with each other natural, but now is all about money, once you have money as a man or woman you can have many women around you, and you can have any man you want as a woman. This is not how it was designed to be, some people get married nowadays just to have children and after that the go their separate ways, some are even in what they call contract marriage there by losing the main concept of marriage.

When you marry for money, firm, power and connection, or status, the marriage won't last because all these things are materialistic things there may fade away someday, some people get married because of all these things and start living in agony, pains and sorrows because you marry for money and not for love, love is natural, that's why when you marry for love even to a poor man/woman you will leave happily ever after with your spouse.

A lot of young people today don't know what marriage is all about they see marriage as a play thing, like a computer where you garbage in and out, you're supposed to marry for love not for materialistic things, you're supposed to be happy in your marriage not live in agony, so before you get into any relationship and start talking about marriage, you should be psychologically and physically ready because when you rush into marriage you will definitely rush out of it,

and that's the reason why we are seeing a lot of divorce in recent times because people no longer understand the concept of marriage you will see young couples after getting married within a period of 6 to 1 year they start talking about divorce, and that's because most of these marriages is not from pure love it is not from natural feelings, but for the Love of money and what each individual stand to gain in the marriage, a lot of young girls today are going through a lot in their marriages because most of them get married just because the man is rich, and he can take care of her family so instead of her marrying for love, she gets married because of money and Riches.

So if you want to be happy in marriage then marry for love because the greatest mistake you will make in your life is to marry because of wealth or riches and materialistic things think about your happiness too and what will happen to your children they trauma they will face if you eventually get divorce from your spouse.

Many people today have lost their lives because of failed marriages, a lot of them are in an abusive relationship/marriage because they choose to marry because of money, money is good but don't get married because of money, marry for love instead, and you will be treated with respect, marry for money, and you will be treated like a slave, because it will always look like you came for the money which is through, am not saying one shouldn't get married to a rich person, let it come natural, many people force these things and that's the reason people no longer marry for love.

Some marry just to be counted among married couples, but at home they don't leave like people who are happily married, they try to fake it when they go out, but at home they are not in peace, don't marry just to fulfill all righteousness, but marry for love and for the purpose of marriage.
