Marriage is like a groundnut; you have to crack it to see what is inside. ~ Ghanaian proverb

Groundnuts have different shapes and sizes! Mostly they are made of 2's and 3's. To get to the nuts you must crack the cocoon! From this I would say "wrap yourselves as a couple in a cocoon" build your own style of life! Those who understand friendship will find it easier than those who never kept a true friend!

They don't call it an institution for no reason! Incarceration of souls in a cage built by society! If you go into marriage with preset rules of how the other is to behave you will create a cage and not a cocoon for yourself and the beloved other!

Ever wondered why they say "birds in a cage"? Are birds supposed to live in a cage? Birds live in open nests high up a tree where predators can't easily reach! The cage is the society's perception of what a marriage should be! Birds flock and fly, they migrate to where is best for their nature! They rebuild if the other has worn out or wasn't conducive for growth!

As a mum if my child's marriage brakes up I consider it my fault for 2 major reasons: lack of support and interfering! One needs to understand that to some supporting is interfering and interfering is support! It's easy to misunderstand these 2 active words! Positive actions never create problems, negativity poisons everything!

In a case where a party is complaining that the cause of a breakup is as a result of the surrounding environmentalist "relatives" close or distant is most likely so! Elders that claim to know what life is all about should know better on how to support a new family. Helping someone overcome difficulty is different from being the creator of those difficulties!

Life has its agenda I.e by some design teaching people lessons of survival so they can come together and the 2 people who enter into a marriage are supposed to form an alliance in overcoming those obstacles! When a society has prejudice in terms of age, colour, shape and size it has set itself against nature and we know nature always wins! It's factual, it has clearly defined boundaries even if its spectrum seem broad! Did nature say black shouldn't be with white? Or tall shouldn't be with short? Does nature show that a tall tree is better than a short tree or can't grow side by side? Why has a stereotype been created that a man should be taller than the woman and that small is weak?! Is Jada Pinket Smith not the one wearing the pants, while Will is a goof ball? Is it perceived that where a woman is bigger it means she would rule over her short man? I have seen small people to have more energy than the big and tall! Is hight a guaranty for wisdom? Is short a sign for daftness?

How about colour? Look at the kids from mixed race marriages, aren't they more attractive than the perceived ethnic group of people? Aren't they much smarter because there is a wide network of knowledge coming from the vast background of culture and travels?

Must the man be always older? If a woman wakes up to womanhood at an older stage in life isn't she likely to be accommodating to the younger man who has the energy to satisfy her physically and she in return shares her hopefully natures given wisdom with the younger man who seems to be the out of control hormone junkie? Would rape not reduce if young men can date older women? And if the relationship doesn't work wouldn't he have learnt how to make love to a younger or another lady? Wouldn't it to some extent reduce homosexuality in some cases due to exploration of sexuality?

Does rich mean someone is good as a person? Don't we know those who through crooked and evil ways gained things? Don't they become broke sometime in the future? Wealth is in character riches don't necessarily involve having a real character! And money can't buy love even if it can give the illusion of it! Well some like it bought and some like it hot, for some its beneath them to live in illusions!

Comradery with friends shouldn't be brought into personal lives! Social things are not to be made private! A relationship starts and what one starts hearing is he isn't light, shapely, or poor enough for friends and family!

My question is this: Are they marrying so you "friends and family" can feel adequate? A lot of parents envy the happiness of their kids because they are afraid theirs would mean nothing! A lot of siblings fight the spouses of their siblings because they fear theirs is or might be inadequate! Thou shall not covet "compare" yourself with others because you will find yourself at a loss for words and drive yourself mad chasing ghosts! Why show weakness when strengths abound within everyone?

The business world speculates on the prejudices of the ignorant! Films and books have cultured the young to be discriminating of each other and by that have put themselves into the cage that they perpetuate and someday wish they didn't! Regret is a bitch when prejudice pushes one towards the wrong choice. Where was the heart when the choice was given?
