Hi everyone,

Welcome to Palacedaughter. I hope you are doing good? Today, I will share with you a book I read which is titled, “Don’t Marry in the Dark by Ayo Martins. I am sure you will find it interesting.Please kindly subscribe and share with your friends.Thank you.

“Don’t marry in the dark, what a fascinating statement. The “dark”, indicates the absence of light in a place. Where there is darkness, there isn’t adequate light to see properly. Where there is darkness, stumbling occur. Where there is darkness, dangerous/disastrous steps may be taken. Where there is darkness you can easily walk into trap. Where there is darkness, deception occur”. (Ayo: 2)

 

Reasons people marry in the dark

  1. Desperation: As in the case of Jacob who was so desperate to marry the love of his life, that even when he was informed that the wedding would take place at night. He did not object. In the same way, Leah was also very eager to marry, even if snatching another person’s man was the option. Both Leah and Jacob were desperate, their desperation only resulted in pain, rejection, disappointment and rivalry. It is important to note that desperation results from sexual pressure, peer pressure, parental pressure due to (position in family, only female or male, first or last child, financial success, and age).
  2. Cultural Environmental Pressure.
  3. Financial Pressure.
  4. Circumstantial Pressure.
  5. Age pressure.
