Jachie (Ashanti Region) 13 April '99

The Rev. Father John Kingsley Mensah, Anglican priest in- charge of Jachie in the Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma district, has expressed concern about the increasing level of marriage breakdowns among the youth. Rev Mensah told the GNA at Jachie that though the youth love to enter into Holy Matrimony, "they are not able to sustain their marraige". He attributed the numerous breakdown in marriage to ineffective planning, lack of marriage psychology, spiritual development, love and understanding. Rev Mensah said marriage is everlasting and couples should have to develop courage, love, understanding and tolerance to make it work. He therefore asked the youth not to rush into the marriage only to regret later.
