KADUNA – Pastor Yohanna Buru of the Evangelical Intercessory Fellowship Ministry has decried the increased rate of divorce in the country.
In a statement in Kaduna on Saturday, Buru blamed the trend on lack of tolerance and impatience.
He expressed worries about the increase in divorce cases among couples in the society.
According to him, hundreds of marriages took place weekly across the country, ”but such marriages hardly last for months due to lack of tolerance, impatience, lack of love and lack of care”.
He stressed the need for couples to always love and tolerate each another.
“Tolerance and love are the ways to solve problems even in the larger society,’’ Buru said.
He said that the high rate of divorce was responsible for single parentage.
“Children from separated families usually find themselves in difficult situations as the education of such a child most times is affected and proper upbringing may be difficult,’’ he said.
He called on couples to sustain their marriage through understanding and love. (NAN)
