Lessons in love and marriage

There is room to take a break from the tedium of Nigerian politics and delve into some aspect of our lives, this time, one which is fundamental to societal structure and nourishes our mutual co-existence: RELATIONSHIPS, specifically, relationships of sexual partnership, love and marriage. I would like to think there is a correlation between societies that largely uphold values of strong family units and their higher societal development.
What’s turned me sentimental today, you would ask? Marriages and the increasing propensity for their dissolution in our time, is what. And at no other time does the concern become more topical than at marriage functions.
I was in one such function last week in the United Kingdom. It was a marriage that qualifies as ‘society wedding’ in its own right. The bride is Funmilayo (Funmi for short), daughter of my good friend, Chief Segun Odegbami; and the groom, Solomon Damilola, son of Dr. Ebun Sonaiya, the Chief Medical Director of Total Health Trust Ltd., the first and arguably the most successful Health Management organisation in Nigeria and probably in the West Africa sub-region.
