“The purpose of marriage is not to give you happiness” – ID Cabasa

• Speaking in a recent interview, ID Cabasa stated that the purpose of marriage is not to give you happiness or satisfy one’s feelings 
• He claimed that men have been reduced from God’s original plan into something else.

Veteran Nigerian record producer, ID Cabasa speaks about the original intention of marriage, highlighting that its purpose has been misinterpreted over time.

In a recent interview with Echoo Room, he emphasized that marriage is not merely a means to achieve happiness or emotional fulfillment.

ID Cabasa stressed that the true purpose of marriage has been lost, and it is essential to rediscover its original intention.

He explained that happiness and other benefits should arise from living according to God’s plan, where the man is the head of the family, reporting to God, and the woman submits to the man, but not as an act of surrender.

ID Cabasa also pointed out that men have been reduced from their original purpose, particularly in Western societies, where they are often marginalized and silenced.

He noted that this shift has led to men suffering in silence and dying prematurely.

In his words:

“The purpose of marriage, unfortunately, has been lost. I would say that the purpose was not to give you happiness or satisfy your feelings.

“Happiness and every other thing is supposed to come as a benefit to you standing with that purpose. If you follow that purpose where God is the head and he says that the man should be the head of the family which means that the man reports to God, then the woman submits to the man not surrender.

“In fact, there’s a condition to that submit, ‘As unto the Lord,’ which is to say as long as the man is still under God’s umbrella.

“So when the man leaves God’s umbrella, sincerely, the woman is void. You can’t hold her responsible for not submitting.

“Submission is where the problem is. Ladies nowadays look at submission as surrender. It’s not surrender.”

“The way I see them in America and in western world, let me tell you the order of things, there’s children, women, animals, then men. In fact, plants before men.

“What we [men] have been turned to now is to be silent, to keep looking. We are raising men that are dying in pain. So men are dying early”.
