Two months ago, a young woman in her late 20s walked into my DM crying her eyes out. She said, “I thought marriage was going to be like my parents'. You know… my dad worked, mum stayed home, and they were always together, smiling, serving God, raising us with love.”But she married a man who believes that gender roles are outdated, and since she earns more, she should be the one covering 80% of the bills, including rent. This same man gets angry when she’s too tired for sex after doing 12-hour shifts and still cooking at 10:45pm. Guess what she said to me? "I don’t understand… this isn’t how marriage was supposed to be. "NEWS FLASH: That “supposed to be” doesn’t exist anymore. This generation isn’t looking for just tradition anymore. They want partnership, but many don’t even know what that really means. They want equality, but some still expect 1950s privileges. They want emotional support but can’t hold a 5-minute uncomfortable conversation without switching off or walking away. One guy told me his wife nags too much Turns out; she’s just asking him to bathe the baby and fix the water heater he promised to handle 3 months ago. He said he wasn’t “mentally available” right now. Please, when did common sense and simple responsibility become rocket science? You see this generation? Hey want soft life marriages, spa weekends, matching pajamas, and Instagram reels. But nobody wants to have the hard conversations, draw boundaries with toxic in-laws, or learn how to manage money together.The world has changed.In the past, our mothers endured all sorts and called it patience.Now, women are walking away and they’re not even looking back.In the past, men carried the weight of a whole family without speaking up.Now, some of them are choosing therapy, growth, and learning how to say "I'm sorry" instead of shouting.You see marriage?It’s not for the faint-hearted.It’s not for the unaware.It’s not for the unprepared.And it’s not for people trying to copy paste their parents' love story into a TikTok generation.Wake up and ask yourself, “Do I want a wedding or a marriage?”Because this world? It has changed.And so must you, if you want to build something that lasts.
