The Prelate said training of children on the ways of God from infantry to the riping stage of getting married remain the only solution to curb what he described as marriage menace.
“Marriage should be a thing of joy. To the best of my knowledged, marriages are constantly crashing today because such couple have lost sense of family.
“The crises you are seeing in marriages today, is a reflection of failure from parents, community and the Church including other Institutions that are supposed to be a nurturing place or ground for those that would eventually get married. Institutions have failure.
“Individuals have lost sense of family. Many of the crashes couples today were not well prepared before entering into marriage life. Family as domestic Church, somehow has failed.
“Good family provide good husband/wife, provide good Reverend Fathers and Sisters.”
