Therefore, we will define what marriage means in order to ascertain the designated attributes for each partner. Generally, marriage is the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship, whether or not they are driven by identical ideologies and values for a life fulfilling venture. Although the world’s idea of and about marriage is quite ambiguous, as morally guided partners, your marriage union should be a mirror by which a good marriage is judged. This way, you would be able to practically refute all secular interpretations and misconceptions ascribed to marriage. Therefore, it is important to strengthen your marital bond by conducting your affairs with the principles of love and submission.

Module 3: Resolving Marital Crisis
We will consider the following learning Objectives: 1. Causes of Marital Crisis! 2. Steps Before a Divorce 3. The Power of forgiveness: Resolving your relationship through forgiveness. ________________________________________ Challenges in marriages are inevitable. What makes a unique marriage is the hurdles both parties have crossed and mountains surmounted by the couples. Every marital misunderstanding could be avoided only if issues are resolved early. The rate at which divorce is increasing is quite alarming. Some issues could have been avoided, other issues could have also been resolved if handled with care. Every couple should decide methods of resolving conflicts before marriage, as this will help in the long run in addressing issues encountered in the relationship in order to save your marriage.

Module 4: You and your child
Module learning objectives: 1. 5 ways of raising a Good child, and; 2. Four (4) Values your children should inculcate, 3. Five 5 secrets of raising good children according to Harvard psychologists. ________________________________________ Children are mirrored reflections of their family background and they constitute a lot in the society at large. Just as the saying goes, “you will be addressed the way you are dressed.” So also your kids will be addressed based on the moral standards set for them in their respective homes. As parents, standards should be set for kids and moral educational values should be inculcated early to avoid setbacks in the family. One of the most common mistakes parents make is to lord affairs over their children without prior consideration for their feelings. In an attempt to either please the child, parents ensure they set what should be the ideal normal life for their kids. Contrary to this analogy, reports show that most kids who have domineering parents often have issues with decision making why growing up, due to the fact that they have been compelled to take directives from their parents without paying close attention to their personal decision-making abilities. While raising children, one should consider the growth classification for children as this will effectively help in addressing changes in the long run.

These are visitors or relations of both the husband and the wife. In Africa, there is prominent respect accorded to certain visitors who would occasionally come to visit their children. In-Laws have contributed immensely to the growth of marriages, and also, in-laws have incurred incurable havoc in the families of their dearest ones. As couples, stringent measures should be put in place to ensure that in-laws are treated with care and also with “determined restrictions”. Our focus on this aspect will be to review ways in handling in-laws.

A high percentage of divorce was due to one or either partners’ infidelity to the course of the marriage. While Adultery has constituted a huge disadvantage to marriages, couples are expected to refrain from incidents that may warrant any form of scandal and seek necessary intervention to avoid breaks in their relationships. Definition: Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not their spouse. The word voluntary implies that it is a conscious effort by either spouse to wilfully indulge in an act of unreasonable behaviour.
