The Chief Imam of Ansar-udeen Society Worldwide, Sheikh Abdurahman Ahmad, says impatience and lack of endurance are the major factors responsible for the early collapse of marriages in Nigeria.
Ahmad spoke on Saturday in Ibadan during the marriage ceremony between Amirah Sanni and Abdulkabir Alao in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Amirah is the daughter of the Chairman of the Muslim Community of Oyo State, Alhaji Kunle Sanni while Abdulkabir is the son of the Baba Adini of Yorubaland, Alhaji Sarafa Ishola.
“Marriages break up nowadays for a lot of reasons but principally many couples are not patient with one another.
“Marriage requires a lot of patience, mutual accommodation and a lot of prayers.
“Marriage requires a lot of determination to make it work because there is a lot of time for blending between the couples and this takes patience and perseverance,”Ahmad said.
He advised couples to always be patient and endure one another to avoid marriage crises.
The cleric also said a healthy marriage depended on family and society for survival.
The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, on his part, advised the couple to sustain their initial love before the marriage in order to break the barriers.
“You should maintain the same level of love that you have for yourselves before the marriage as well as show tolerance and understanding,” Gbadebo said.
Dignitaries at the occasion included the Osile of Oke-Ona Egbaland, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States, Alhaji Daud Makanjuola and Prof.Daud Noibi .
