Marriage counsellors, Seun Ladokun and Ibitayo Ladokun, have identified lack of understanding, unhealthy comparisons, poor preparation before marriage and unrealistic expectations as some of the major reasons many Nigerian marriages fail.
The couple spoke on relationship dynamics, love, conflict, personality differences and pre-marital counselling during their appearance on Vanguard’s podcast show, The Nigerian Meter.
Speaking about the importance of preparation before marriage, Ibitayo stressed that many people ignore critical conversations and compatibility assessments, relying solely on emotions and attraction.
