In a recent podcast, "Surviving Lagos," hosted by Susan Pwajok, Pastor Emmanuel Iren shared a thought-provoking insight on the correlation between unmarried cohabitation and divorce.
He asserted that statistical evidence supports the notion that couples who live together before marriage are more likely to experience divorce.
According to Pastor Iren, scientific research is validating the truths presented in scripture. Recent studies have demonstrated a significant link between cohabitation and divorce, suggesting that unmarried couples who live together are more likely to face marital dissolution. This assertion raises essential questions about the implications of cohabitation on relationships and the institution of marriage.
God’s principles have been vindicated. For instance, it is statistically proven that if you live with a man who is not your husband you are two times more likely to have a divorce,” he partly said.
The pastor's statement is a timely reminder of the importance of examining the consequences of our choices. As society continues to evolve, it is crucial to consider the long-term effects of our actions on our relationships and overall well-being. By acknowledging the statistical connection between cohabitation and divorce, we can engage in informed discussions about the role of marriage and relationships in our lives.

@M_idris12 said: “You get tired of each other easily and because there’s no marriage involved, it’s easy to let go of the person. Married people do everything to make their marriage work until there’s no way out but In relationship, there’s an illusion of options so we let go easily.”
