Cause Of High Rate Of Divorce Around The World — Pastor Ibiyeomie

David Ibiyeomie, senior pastor of Port Harcourt-based church, Salvation Ministry, has attributed the high rate of divorce around the world to couples’ ideologies prior marriage.

The renowned clergyman said during a sermon at the church’s headquarters in the Rivers State capital that some people enter into marriage with the mindset of divorcing if things go bad.

He urged church members to welcome marriage with the idea of staying forever, saying it is inappropriate to anticipate divorce in marriage.

He said, “They say that in every marriage there must be trouble and if you ask them why they say when we marry, we would expect.

“Do you know people expect to divorce before they marry? They will say “if it doesn’t work then I will walk away”. So, from the beginning of the marriage failure has started because the expectation was wrong.

“Look, I am going in, if it doesn’t work then I’ll step out”. I can tell you that you will divorce because from the beginning you have a faulty expectation. Why must you expect that you will pack out?

“When you have a strong expectation, you won’t be confused by anything, you’re sure that this thing must happen”.
