Reno Omokri reveals why marriage is complicated today

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has said that marriage has been made complicated by men and women today.

In a tweet he shared, Reno Omokri cited instances from the Bible to prove that marriage is supposed to be simple.

He wrote: "Look at the weddings in Scripture. Simple. Isaac and Rebecca’s wedding was as simple as Rebecca agreeing to be Isaac’s wife and moving into his home. God made marriage to be simple. It is man, or maybe woman, that made it complicated. Simplify it!".

Earlier today, MyNigeria.com reported that Nigerians on Twitter lamented over the amount of divorce applications at a court in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

This was after a lady revealed that the court currently has 4000 divorce applications which is quite alarming for a year which is barely two months old.

@Sandraorokodo shared: "4000 divorce applications in Abuja already and the year just started. Some of these marriages are less than a year old. What's really happening?"

This led to a conversation among Twitter users about the reasons why most marriages crash within the first and second year.

@evidencebyme wrote: "Many believe that marriage is a finished product given to them to go and enjoy. Never realising it is project handed over to you to complete and you derives you joy in the process of turning it to finished product".

@Nwaegbe wrote: "The inability to realize that marriage is hard work & the lack of awareness that the first two years or thereabouts is usually fraught with tension that needs to be carefully navigated with the support of family & well meaning friends".

@realtitotobi: "This right here is the point. This thing takes a conscious decision to work on it, no matter what. But today's generation, after one argument, someone is already asking, should I leave? another is already comparing with their friends".

@TheOlivia: "Men insist on being the kind of husbands their fathers were but women no longer want to be the kind of wives their mothers were. There lies the problem. One day, one party will yield. Until then, get your coins sis".

@iKhannnnn: "A generation with failed marriages who always attack the generation with more successful marriage. But they will never accept this fact because they feel they know better. What's that argument? 'wE aRe mOrE vOcAl & sPeAkiNg oUt. We dIDnT iNhErit tHe sILEnCe oF oUr mOtHer'.

@shadduy: "In those days, people fix what was broken and forge on. In this era, whatever is broken is thrown away. nobody fixes anything. Unto the next one".

@okpanku: "Disposable cups, disposable spoon, disposable plates, disposal relationship (Flings) and now disposable marriage! It’s all evolution of self!"

Look at the weddings in Scripture. Simple. Isaac and Rebecca’s wedding was as simple as Rebecca agreeing to be Isaac’s wife and moving into his home. God made marriage to be simple. It is man, or maybe woman, that made it complicated. Simplify it!#FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets
