Marriage is not something to rush into.

A good number of Kenyans settle down without proper plans for the future. 

It is unwise to move into a man’s house before you understand what you are getting yourself into. 

Not every man you fall in love with on the first date will make a wonderful partner. 

There is a need to learn about each other before you settle down in marriage.

Most come-we-stay marriages in Kenya don't last because of these reasons:

1. Financial issues

Money plays a vital role in marriage. 

Most Kenyans never take into consideration their financial positions before they get married.

Remember, there are bills to be paid in your marriage.

It is senseless to settle down with someone who cannot assist you to pay bills in the long run.

Always think about money matters before you get married to anyone.

2. Incompatibility

Some of the come-we-stay marriages collapse because the partners end up realising that they are not compatible.

There is no way you will stay together if you do not share common goals in life. 

There are different things you must agree on before your marriage can work.

Therefore, you should never rush into marriage with someone you are not compatible with or don't agree with some of his or her values.

3. Infidelity

Just like any other marriage, infidelity is among the most common causes of separation among couples. 

Couples find it hard to trust each other if cheating crops up.

Cases of cheating often make both or one of the partners lose interest in the marriage.
