Gospel filmmaker Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has expressed concerns over the unpreparedness of contemporary youths for marriage and the increasing separation and divorce rate among ‘children of God’ (believers).
He said they’re more focused on the wedding day where they spend many days and possibly weeks for its preparation but never consider doing the same for marriage.
The founder of the Mount Zion Faith Ministries argued this explains why many ladies remain unqualified for marriage even at 28.
According to him: “I am so afraid of the youths of this generation. Many are not preparing enough to enter into marriage. Many are very shallow in their knowledge of marriage,” he said.
“They prepare more for the wedding day, than for the marriage life. No deep studies on what marriage entails.
“They are too hasty and not ready to sit down and learn the principles of marital Life. Many ladies are not qualified to be wives even at 28.

“They can’t cook properly. They are used to fast food at the eateries, and ice cream and indomie and spaghetti plus boiled eggs and titus, and they spend six months studying the wedding gowns and the accessories for the bridal trails. And they want to marry.
“My dear sister is 26, but she is still not yet a wife material. But she is Beautiful, but she cannot cook. She is not spiritually strong in prayers and she has a shallow knowledge of the word of God.
“How would she withstand the spiritual challenges that come against every home now? How would she take her stand in the word of God against every wiles of the devil that blow against every Christian home now?
“Too materialistic and very little knowledge of home management.”
“Then I was told she downloaded some Applications on her Android phone on How To Cook. She spent several months preparing for Wedding Day. But few moments to Study what Marriage Life is.
“If LOVE IS BLIND AT COURTSHIP, IT IS MARRIAGE THAT WILL OPEN THE BLIND EYES.
The clergy also criticised faulty doctrines which today’s youths now imbibe about marriage that supports women abandoning their matrimonial homes due to domestic abuses though, he vehemently condemned it.
He maintained separations and divorce among children of God were increasing by the day because they now lack patience, endurance, perseverance, and respect for each other.
“Now, Our Young Sisters are being taught HOW TO WALK OUT OF MARRIAGE. Many of them are rushing in and they are being taught How To Rush Out of It when things are not Working out as Expected.
“I AM AGAINST ABUSE TO WOMEN. I AM AGAINST ABUSE TO WIVES. A MAN THAT BEAT OR TORTURE HIS WIFE IS AN ANIMAL, UNFIT TO LIVE AMONG HUMAN. THE BIBLE SAYS, HE HAS DONE IT TO HIMSELF.
And, THERE ARE ALSO MANY ABUSES GOING AGAINST MEN IN THE CLOSETS.
“However, we are now having too many Breakings and Separations and Divorce among Children of God.
No Endurance. No Respect. No Perseverance. No Patience.
“When things do not go as expected, it becomes INCOMPATIBILITY. And our youths, especially Ladies are being taught to Walk out of the Marriages. So today, many Young Marriages are not fulfilled. Every Marriage has its rough edges. But you have to Sharpen the Rough Edges,” he added.
