From Bride Price to Back Home – When Marriage Ends Before It Starts

1. Let’s have a real conversation:

Too many young women are entering marriage unprepared.

Some can’t manage a home.

Some don’t know how to cook, clean, communicate, or handle conflict — yet they wear rings. 💍💔

2. Marriage isn’t just a beautiful wedding or Instagram photos.

It’s patience. Sacrifice. Understanding.

It’s knowing how to handle pressure without always threatening to pack your bags.

Are we raising women for marriage, or just weddings?

3. And no — this isn’t about shaming.

It’s about responsibility.

Because when you marry a man’s name, you carry a portion of his peace — or his headache.

If you can’t boil rice without Google, you’re not ready to run a home.

4. Some ladies get married today, return to their parents’ house in 3 months. Why?

– “He raised his voice.”

– “His mum visited without telling me.”

– “I don’t like washing clothes.”

These aren’t red flags — they’re signs you weren’t prepared for reality.

5. Parents, this is on you too.

You train your daughters to slay, but not to stay.

You push for marriage, but didn’t teach basic values.

Now your daughter is married to a stranger, and the only skill she brought is makeup.

6. And men; be wise.

Beauty fades.

If she can’t add value to your life beyond looks, you’re dating a liability with eyelashes.

Choose women who are beautiful and built for life.

7. Young ladies, hear this with love: Marriage is not escape from poverty. It’s not a TikTok challenge.

It’s a serious partnership. Learn, grow, prepare — mentally, emotionally, spiritually, domestically.
