“Divorce rate is rising because young couples can’t endure hardship” – Funmi Aragbaye

• Gospel Musician Funmi Aragbaye addresses rising divorce rates among young couples
• Funmi Aragbaye stresses importance of endurance and divine guidance in marriage
• Financial status not sole factor in marital happiness, says aragbaye.

Renowned gospel musician Funmi Aragbaye has spoken out about the increasing divorce rates among young couples, attributing the trend to their inability to withstand challenges in marriages.

In a recent interview, Aragbaye emphasized that the key to a successful marriage isn’t solely dependent on the financial status of one’s spouse.

Aragbaye, a veteran in the gospel music industry, expressed her concerns during an interview where she shared her insights on the subject.

She asserted that a significant cause of divorce among young couples is their lack of resilience when faced with hardships.

According to her, many young individuals tend to prioritize marrying wealthy partners and struggle to navigate the difficulties that naturally arise in marriages.

In her words;

“The major cause of divorce among young couples is the fact that they cannot endure hardship with anybody. And, they prefer getting married to rich people. However, happiness in marriage is not dependent on how rich one’s spouse is. Young people should always seek divine direction from God before they get married. They should find out about the families of their would-be spouses, and not just focus on how rich they are. There are some families with peculiar ancestry curses that one should avoid. Young people should also learn to endure, be patient and rugged, and be understanding.

” She also extended advice to budding gospel singers, charging them not to behave inappropriately or bring personal issues to social media.

“Bringing issues involving members of the association on social media for reconciliation is not good for the reputation of GOMAN. I advise young gospel musicians to amicably resolve differences among themselves without bringing them on social media.

“It is apparent that some gospel musicians cannot manage stardom, and some cannot even comport themselves on stage. They should work on those areas for the overall interest of the association. The elders of the association are looking at ways of ensuring the sustenance of harmony and decorum among members,” she added.
