Actor, Director and Theatre Practitioner cum Pastor, Daniel Kojo Delong, has revealed why it is not easy to keep a peaceful marriage.
During a live studio discussion with host, Nana Yaw Odame on eTV Ghana’s Men’s Lounge show, he gave the reason for this being that marriages are something that the devil fights everyday.
He stated that in our part of the world, a relationship is exclusively between the man and the woman if it is just friendship but a marriage goes beyond just the union of a male and female.
“With our culture and our moral and traditional system, when it comes to marriage, it is not just you and your spouse. Marriage is families. One thing I’ll say morally and culturally is don’t joke with fatherly blessings.
Don’t think if your parents don’t agree to your marriage, you can go ahead and marry without their blessings and everything will go on well with you. Even in marriages with those blessings, there are struggles”, he said.
According to him, the blessings of parents in a marriage is very necessary and since marriage is something that the devil fights everyday, God has attributed the commitment of marriage and the Church to Himself.
This is to say that God has placed His hand on the commitment, hence marriages done in the Church are protected by God, nevertheless, the blessings of parents are important too.
