The rate of broken homes in marriages is
becoming alarming as the number of people
from broken homes is increasing by the day.
The home is meant to be a place filled with
joy, happiness with lot of guaranteed security
and comfort but it is rather pitiful that the
home is neglecting its primary functions
thereby causing lots of psychological
challenge in the mind of the people.
The following are the 5 causes of a broken
home and how they can be corrected:
Lack of time management
As the saying goes “Proper preparation
prevents poor performanceâ€, a lot of people
find it difficult to mark out a good schedule of
their daily activities thereby neglecting their
home at the expense of their work. I can’t
imagine homes that care less about their kids
just because the pillars (parent) are too busy.
Everyone is busy but the ability to map out a
good plan schedule makes a perfect home.
Strange partners
In the home, some partners are very secretive
in their attitude and way of life. They smile
when you expect them to react to something
you know that hurt them. They never share
their feelings about any issue with their
partners. Some may even go to the extent of
over monitoring the schedule of their partners.
This shows the lack of trust and confidence in
the home. Learn to overlook some issues and
learn to be conversational with one another.
“Money is good but interaction will never let a
family downâ€.
Slavery mindset
The word “help-mate†in the home is fast
losing its meaning as most people are now
over-conscious of the meaning of this word.
Some spouse sees their partner as slaves
putting all duties especially the house chores
on them. I see no evil if a man decides to
cook dinner for his family. But over-
consciousness of being called a fool is
affecting the mentality of most people.
Over-reaction
Humans are not perfect and are bound to
make mistake. Over reaction to these
mistakes may sometimes determine the life-
span of a home. Some people over react
irrationally to some issues that need to be
settled amicably. When the man is angry,
what is expected of the wife is to be quiet
and vice versa because two mad people
cannot build a house.
Multi-party peacemaker
Since there is bound to be disagreement in
the home, the best thing to do is to settle it
amicably in the four corners of the house and
not calling on outsiders or members of the
extended family because it will not always
work out that way. The best way is to settle it
between yourself.
