What kind of marriage education do we need?

[virasog]

The type of marriage education that we need is one that focuses on practical skills rather than theoretical knowledge. This means teaching couples how to resolve conflicts, manage finances together, and improve communication. It's not enough to simply tell them "this is what you should do" without providing concrete examples and exercises for practice. Additionally, such an approach could be implemented at different stages of life - from pre-marital counseling before tying the knot all the way through post-wedding workshops designed specifically for newlyweds who want to strengthen their relationship further down the line.

The type of education you mentioned here is essential and couples should undergo this training. However, even if they don't have that training in accepting each other opinion, they will learn it over time. However, this type of marriage counselling is not very popular and people don't want to invest in this type of education. Everyone believes that this is just natural behavior and does not need to be educated. Its strange that people will spend a lot of money on the celebration of their marriage but when it comes to learning something productive about it, they hesitate.

If marriage where to be a school, we won't graduate from it. In marriage couples don't know all because marriage is like a school where people don't graduate from it. Couples need marriage education because they are both from different homes, different characters and different up bringing. It is very difficult for two people brought up by different parents to live together without having issues, even siblings do quarrel talk more of strangers.Couples need marriage education that teaches them how to resolve conflicts among themselves without involving third party, emotional trauma, and how to prepare for the future together (in terms of children) and many more. marriage education helps couples to know their left and their rights, it helps them to live in peace and maintains unity.

If marriage education guarantees lasting and good marriage I don't think we would have the high rate of divorce in our society. The only education I think couples need is understanding,  if there are understanding between one another I don't think people will have problems that will lead to the end of a marriage.  Some people even when they out to acquire marriage education,  they are been told that understanding is what is needed in marriage but they still find it so difficult to have understanding between one another.  Some people just have some difficult characters which is really affecting their marriage and they are not willing to apply understanding.

There is no complete happy marriage out there, it is not as easy as said than done for two people who are being raised or brought up by different people to come together and live as one is not really easy I must, it has more to do with tolerance, understanding, adapting, considerate, not being selfcenter or sticking to your own opinion, there is more about marriage that learning about it can never ends even while you in the marriage which I made and clearly stated in my previous post, the message should more like couples should have in mind that humans are naturally imperfect so as when they come together they can keep improving on themselves in the likelihood of having a good marriage.

Do you know that education could become boring? It isn't the money here. Imagine spending all years in primary, secondary and tertiary institution. Someone still telling you to go for another education before marriage. Well, marriage to me is more than going through some education to build yourself, it's more of in-built character.

People don't have enough experience, they get married too early, without having lived enough time together.

It is true that child marriage and polygamy are prevalent in our country, since if a husband has to fulfill his responsibilities, he will never decide to practice polygamy. An ideal husband has to put in a lot of effort to fulfill the responsibilities of a wife, and if the family includes a wife, parents, and children, the responsibility increases even more. Brother, if an ideal husband fulfills his responsibilities properly, he cannot practice polygamy in any way. One should enter into a marital relationship after becoming an adult and knowing the responsibilities and duties of marriage well.

But the tutors fail to point out the exact kind of understanding needed for two lovers to gain enough rapport with each other. There are wrong perspectives about men and women on social platforms and books, when one party begin to digest the false details like men or women must cheat, it'll end up affecting the amount of love they'll invest into their spouse. Married people must take emotional security as a top notch strategy to strengthen a relationship. Trusting and looking out for one other promotes love and kindness, the strongest tool to a better married life.

People need to learn to stop being such worthless fucking assholes. Nearly every person I meet is acting like a complete and total asshole 100 percent of the time, and I am fucking sick of this. STOP ACTING LIKE COMPLETE AND TOTAL GARBAGE, FOOLS! MAYBE IF PEOPLE WOULD LEARN TO ACT BETTER, THE RATE OF HAPPY MARRIAGES WOULD BE HIGHER THAN 0 PERCENT!

Marriage is mindset, how you have made up your mind how prepared you are how far the both parties have known each other and are able to crack down limitations together. Marriage is understanding, marriage is love, marriage is a life time journey, marriage is a bond, marriage is mindset, marriage is not education you learn how to please your husband but the teacher won't be there to tell you how to break down conflicts or problems.

Marriage is just maturity and and understanding from both parties not an education.

I do not agree with you. Are you trying to say the main reason for polygamy is because wife's choose not to play their own role? I don't think this is the reason. There are some men who believe polygamy is what they want , it is not as if they have problem with their wife. Woman may have a character that can push a man to go extreme getting another wife but it is not as if, this is always the reason why men chooses to get more wife. Partners need to know each other better before going into marriage not to make mistakes and to make decisions they never planed for.

Marriage is often romanticized, but the reality is far more complex. Many couples enter marriage with little understanding of how to navigate conflicts, communicate effectively, or manage shared responsibilities. So, what kind of marriage education do we actually need?

First, we need practical tools—not just fluffy theories. Think conflict resolution skills, financial planning, and emotional intelligence training. Second, real talk about expectations. Too many people go into marriage with unrealistic ideals, only to face disappointment later. Finally, normalize ongoing education. Marriage isn’t a one-time event; it’s a journey that requires constant learning and adaptation.

What’s missing in today’s marriage education? Should it start earlier, like in schools? Or is it something couples should figure out on their own? Let’s discuss!

The generation we are in now, couples dose not have full potential knowledge of what marriage is, compared to olden days when growing up young men and women's often gets little knowledge of what marriage is due to the little impact their parents have engaged them into by way of advices and telling them tails of ancient. So many of them got the opportunity to grab dose knowledge and impact it to their marital aspects. But in this our present generation, couples do grab their 80% knowledge of marital education, when they have finally settled down together. Which I will say is late  but not too late, because some can still adapt and make good out of it and will have a happy marriage and ever after. Though they most have means some vital knowledge of it, many parts which they need to learn before stepping into the marriage. And that is what leads to distraction and destruction of Marriage nowadays . So it is better to have the educative background knowledge of marriage before stepping into it, because it is a life time theory.

This is crazy and I think you just hit the nail on the right spot. Marriage education and cancelling does not add anything new to the matter.
When a woman is ready to leave, there is nothing you are going to tell her that she will agree to which is why we need to understand that whether you are in for marriage education or not, that doesn't reduce her stubbornness or her attitude towards you when she gets angry.
We need to understand that things are not like the way it used to be in back then when love was still genuine and the two partners always try there best to make everything works again.

I think marriage education should start early and not in school but in the home. Like family is the first level of socialization, that is where you start to shape into likes or dislikes, what you want and what you don't want. So even the extent of family, the children learns from what they see from their parents. I heard that if you want to know how a man will turn out in the future or how a woman is going to look in the future then go check out their parents to see for yourself. So that is the way it goes. The children chose what kind of person they want to spend the rest of their life with as they see their parents. Therefore, the female look at their father and either choose to marry someone as the father or not likewise the male child looks up at the mother. For example, if the daughter was seeing the father assault or molest the mother or the son saw the mother disrespect the father. This is the stage that marriage education is willingly learned and not taught.

Polygamy is not a bad thing, but if a man can fulfill the responsibilities of more than one wife and does not create any financial problems, then he can do it. In the present times, polygamy has become a fashion where a husband neglects his wife's responsibilities and even gets involved in bad addictions like extramarital affairs.
Whether it's a husband or a wife, they must think carefully before getting married so that they don't make any wrong decisions after marriage that could have a huge negative impact on their beautiful relationship.
