Preface

Hello folks,how are you all doing,hope all is really.working out well here in this very nice community,today I will like to join in this lesson and this is my second time of reading and doing some of the homework of this very special lesson.

The tiitor had really.marked out this very topic and I really like it because it is beginning to expose us to know some of the secrets in marriage and also how to build a better family in future.now let's get back to what we came for.

Five functions of marriage with explanation

Yes,there are really many functions of marriage but according to the lesson i will like to look into the main five and I know you will find it interesting reading through this post.

physical fitness:
According to the lesson,I can equally define this as a situation whereby The man and the woman must be sure of their physical health fitness before they can plan to go into marriage,and this can be done by disclosing the health conditions with each other and if any one of them is not compatible with each other they can break up in that early stage because we were taught in the lesson that breaking up in the friendship or courtship stage is better than divorcing in marriage.
It can be done by both visiting a hospital and undergoing some health tests so as to know if both will be fit for marriage

Mutual love:
Yes,in this lesson we were taught that love in the strong or deep affection that comes in between a man and a woman and before a marriage can be strong and happy their must be this mutual love and on the way it can determine both the success and failure of the marriage.

Social stability:
This is really one thing that can determine if a family or marriage can hold or can last,And according to the lesson it is explained to us that before a man and woman can prosper in their marriage they have to first be compatible with each other and which means to be able to live with each other and also to know the rules and customs guiding the guiding the success of marriage in their locality.

Consent or approval by both family:
This is really one thing that may lead to the success or failure of a happy marriage as the both family may stand as a barrier to the succtof the marriage.
In the lesson,we were taught that it is good to always inform our parents before going into marriage as they might disagree if you don't tell them and it you go ahead with the marriage it will go a long way to lead to failure

psychological fitness:
Yes,this is the part of marriage that needs to be studied very well before going into it,as it deals idiolly with the mind and means that the both man and woman should be psychologically mature,and this means that they should form the habbit if making decisions on thier own and not driven away by emotions.also we were taught that they should learn to make decisions together as that may lead to the success of a good marriage.

Effects of lack of readiness in marriage

Wow,thee are really many effects if lack of readiness in marriage as if they are not taken good care of can go a long way to break down a family.

Broken home:

This is really a bad part of not been readiness to marriage as it can exist when a man and a woman engage themselves in consestent fight and on that way one may decide to leave the house for each other in that process it is called divorce.

lack of peace and happiness:
This can really contribute to the breakdown if a family,this may occur also when there is too much fight and quarel between the two couples as this may cause unhappiness between the two of them and in turn the man might start avoiding the house and that may lead him to do other bad things like drinking,smoking.

lack of CONDUSIVE environment for child upbringing:
This really goes a long way to affect the marriage as it happens when the couples are not yet prepared for marriage and therefore that face marital difficulties.
Mostly,it really affects the children and makes them not to perform well in schools and also it will make them to have wrong notions about the real meaning and how to run a good marriage.

psychological problems:
This can really occur in a family when there is always fight,ague and quarell between the man and woman and in this process there will not be trust and when there is not trust in the family there will be loneliness according to the lesson and this can result to psychological problems and also stress.

Constant dispute:
There will always be fight and ague between the couples because the failed to meet up with the requirement of readiness in marriage and in this the might not have mutual trust in each other and these might lead to both of them not trusting each other and in that process it will lead to fight and divorce.
It is explained that sometimes lack of financial capability can really make the both couples to find it difficult to provide for the family and in the process it will lead to fight between each other.

What I can say about my parents marriage

I can equally say that there marriage is good,but the fact there is that no marriage can equally stay till eternity without the both having one or two misunderstanding and in that process they can get back to each other by one knowing his or her mistake and comes to beg for forgiveness firm one.
That is what happens between the marriage of my parents they sometimes have misunderstanding and also get back to each other between a twinkle if an eye.
