I am at a traditional wedding ceremony. There is a priest/minister present. After all the ups and downs and shenanigans, he calls for a church wedding to allow for Christ to be in the marriage. He says this one is purely a traditional wedding otherwise known as engagement. These days we invite God to be present in all we do. Even the thieves pray. How much more a traditional wedding? Ghanaian style? Do you get my drift? What am I driving at?
Are we saying our cultures are being thrown away? When our forefathers married and even so married more than one wife, there was peace in the home. There was respect. There was understanding. Life was sweet. There was no need for DIVORCE!
I speak not against God. He hath brought me far and is taking me farther. He has given me life. I will use it wisely.
I pray to ask if we are all the same people (debatable though). We have different cultures though some cannot lay claim to any. Our heritage! Our cultural values. If we decide to do away with our culture, then we are lost.
When was the last time you as a young man put on a cloth to a function that required such?
When was the last time you as a young lady put on a headscarf to a required function?
I don’t care what you think but then a traditional marriage where a priest is present and the blessings of God is invoked for the prosperity of the marriage is as good as the almighty ‘popipopi’ noise with all of its encumberances.
This topic is debatable.
