While we have continued to hear of marriages packing up on a regular basis, we keep imagining the true cause of it.

Many marriages have suffered a huge blow, but just a few have been strong enough to hold the bull by its horn.

Marriage is an institute, either it fails or work depends on the joint effort of the couple.

When a couple stands at the altar to exchange vows, does it only end that day? Do they actually remember the covenant made on day regularly?

Despite marriages packing up, we still have those than has spanned decades and they are still waxing strong.

Most times the foundation of that marriage matters, when its foundation is faulty, there would be disaster along the journey.

Publisher of popular magazine, Genevieve, recently shared her thoughts about marriage.

Coming from a woman who has been married for 34 years, she is no doubt a knowledgeable person in such matters.

In her words: “Like most young ladies, I was starry eyed when I took my vows, they were just vows; I was getting married and hoped to live happily ever after. The truth is, those vows are not some nursery rhymes you repeat after the priest or pastors, and they are sacred! Your marriage will depend on them.

Don’t utter them unless you’re ready to live true to them. Taking those vows in front of 500 applauding guests is not the same as renewing them every day in front of that one person to whom the vow was uttered. Life happens. We can’t avoid that. But give your marriage the best shot. Don’t give up on each other too soon. Don’t forget those vows. Hold them dear to your heart.”
