In many parts of Nigeria, marriage costs a lots of money. As a result, during marriage ceremonies, the couple are usually presented with lots of gifts to help them start their new home. The type of gifts often presented include materials for: nursing a baby, living in a house and also money. During wedding ceremonies, husband and wife are given pieces of advice on how to live happily together. In church marriage, the husband and wife are are sponsored by experienced couple. The sponsors give them all types of encouragement to make them live happily. The sponsors visit the new weds often to attend to their problems. Parents also do not leave their newly married children. They go to them for all types of help including advice and meeting their material needs.
PROBLEMS THAT FACE NEWLY MARRIED PEOPLE.
   When two people not used to one another start living together, they will start having some problems. Each has to learn the lifestyle of the other and try to adjust to it. Where one cannot adjust completely, problem starts. Marriage may force one to leave some of the things one loves doing. Continuing in the act may offend the partner, also leaving it will make the person unhappy.
  Since marriage costs a lot of money, the husband may not have enough money again to take care of the wife, which may cause havoc,or either the husband or wife may find out that the other was not what he claimed to be, some people pretend to be highly educated or very rich when they are not, this can lead to break up of marriages.
   Many people in Nigeria marry in order to have children. Where a marriage is not yet blessed with children there is usually unhappiness. Quarrel will also occur where a husband or wife listens to wrong advice from her parents or friends. Some people can easily lead others to do bad things by giving them bad advice. Finally if you want your marriage to last you have to endure cause everyone is not perfect.

He is also asked to bring understanding, which respects the beauty of that world's religious beliefs and customs. The peace corps teacher must guide and, at the same time, respect the student's uniquene...
