Marrying right is beautiful and marrying at the right time is awesome. But some Christians experience marital delays and this can be dealt with. For some Christian singles, these are the causes of marital delay:

(1) Witchcraft and Satanic Powers: Some Christian singles are hindered because of evil powers such as spiritual husband, foundational powers, witchcraft etc. While they may be born again, if they do not destroy such evil powers, it may affect them.

(2) Religious Patterns: Some Christian singles may hardly or never bend if the marriage process or wedding does not come from their church, dogmatic belief system etc. So they may wait until a person appears that suits that pattern. This may cause marital delay.

(3) Ungodly Taste: If a Christian has hidden idols in the heart that has not been dealt with, such as: quest for certain physical looks, particular tribe, love for rich persons, undue standards etc. This may cause marital delay, as finding such a person may take time. Allow God take the lead.

(4) Quest for Big Weddings: I advice you do easy wedding processes and small weddings. This is good, especially if you are advanced in age. Undue desire for big weddings may cause marital delay as you may have to wait until such standard is met.

Facts.

Stop deceiving yourself... Money is the number one reason many are still single, plus our ladies are hardly ive, most of them have nothing to bring to the table except billing sheets.

Finance brother. Prayers don't pay bills, a steady flow of finance withhold many Christian brothers from getting married.

That number 4 has hindered many. I did traditional marriage and paid all the rites, I went to Winners Chapel to make enquiry for white wedding with all proof of our trad wedding videos and pictures. They started asking me if we have had sex, where I live, the type of house, and lots of questions. I saw from afar that all this procedure will cost me alot. I jejely use about 40k go do court marriage. Invited my friends, my wife cooked and we packed it in takeaway packs and meat pie and all. I left from the office to the court marriage and returned back to the office same day.

I'm happy I didn't do that white wedding cos now I know it's not important and irrelevant. Nobody have ever asked me of my white wedding certificate.

Many will prefer to marry outside their church and religion because some girls to dey form

I didn't see bad character on your list.

Alot of Christian ladies have secret lives
No vex experience has thought me alot

I just see everyone as people with extra lives that they don’t show no one and I felt like a fool when I realized it..because I like to keep it real
They are preys to alot of worldly men infact all kinds of men and they end up falling victims but you will not know

These may be facts but include the need to remain chaste till marriage too can also cause such.

This is one of the unsung disadvantages of remaining chaste.

You didn't mention economic constraints. Some do not want a big wedding, but feeding an extra mouth in this economy is no child's play.

Update your list abeg!.

Marital delay is everywhere...

Has nothing to do with being a Christian

Happy Sunday good people of Southsouth and Southwest

God bless Israel....

God bless America

Another religious drivel from some deranged fanatic..🥱

Get a girl pregnant and start cohabiting. Marriage is not for everyone

Number 1 is the fear of poverty! Christians don't believe the verse that says "He who finds a wife has found a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord" Proverbs 18:22.

The favour must show face first before marriage!

Faith don die!

You're Not An Hypocrite.

Truth Boldly Told.

Most popular one I know is money. The economic situation dey make bros reason the thing.

Niccas don't wanna marry because the know it doesn't benefit them in any way.

Marriage is very cheap na the running cost be the problem.

Na mumus dey do traditional and white. And you see them claiming woke.

Marriage is overrated.
Many guys are running away from it coz they've come to realise it's not worth all the stress and finances.

Maybe in the past it was worth it but not anymore in this our Morden world.

Economy is the greatest number of marital delay within or outside Christianity.


I pity Young adult man that planning to settle down during Tinubu presidency, even 4 1/2 mattress, you will think twice before you acquire it, meanwhile.

Talking from man who cannot the number of holes he had dug.

LACK OF FAITH should be the topmost reason.

I had shared my story here severally. I married in one room with a detached kitchen outside the building. I was the one who painted the room myself cos no money to hire a painter.

My salary was like nothing. My wife agreed to my decision and this part is very important. Most ladles nowadays want a guy who lives in a 2 bed apartment or they encourage them to rent one, before marriage. Most men always set standards that do not exist for themselves hence, the delay in marriages. My story is similar to that of Bishop oyedepo who chose to marry with his VW beetle because I didn't even have a bike, talkless of a car. Don't welcome friends into your little beginnings cos they'd advise you wrongly.

The moment we received the go-ahead from 2 different pastors who didn't know each other, that God was in of our marriage, we didn't bother to hesitate about the future. We called a few people and headed for a church.

Today, all I can say is thank God for His faithfulness. I've been to places where the kids of the rich can't get to. I've never read or heard on this platform that seyi tinubu or Buhari's or obasanjo's or Jonathan's children had been invited by the American or Japanese presidents into a meeting or gathering the way I had been invited. I don't need to stress myself over visa to enter any of the so-called powerful countries. While others are struggling to book an appointment, all I need do is send a mail or do a phone call and it's done, all glory to God, my creator who remains faithful. I sent my technician to one of them recently after seeing on their website that the earliest appointment date is somewhere in 2025. All I did was email them and that was all. I got a confirmation via email backed with a phone call from them. That's how far God can move, if you have faith.

Sadly, the so called Christians today would see a girl or guy and tie the knot ,without praying for compatibility and before you know it, the marriage has hit the rock...you'd now be hearing marriage na scam, who told you that? I fasted and prayed, we also engaged men of God who saw same revelation about our marriage before we concluded. Who does that nowadays? They said fair ladies didn't match my star that I shouldn't near them and I waited patiently until I got my colour, same applies to fair ladies whose star doesn't match that of a dark guy. How many Christians take note of all these before rearing their heads? No marriage is perfect. I was told some things about her as revealed by God before I married her which weren't any serious issues. They manifested as revealed but with God's intervention, we overcame it

In marriage, material things are never a factor. God is the only factor and once He says go ahead, just be happy cos you'd get it right ultimately.

That number 4 has hindered many. I did traditional marriage and paid all the rites, I went to Winners Chapel to make enquiry for white wedding with all proof of our trad wedding videos and pictures. They started asking me if we have had sex, where I live, the type of house, and lots of questions. I saw from afar that all this procedure will cost me alot. I jejely use about 40k go do court marriage. Invited my friends, my wife cooked and we packed it in takeaway packs and meat pie and all. I left from the office to the court marriage and returned back to the office same day.

I'm happy I didn't do that white wedding cos now I know it's not important and irrelevant. Nobody have ever asked me of my white wedding certificate.

You're very funny Bro.
Buh you just said the #FACT

The main cause of marital delay is the ideology of one man to one woman.
