She warned against deceitfulness in marriage and challenged couples to be discipline and innovative in their relationship. 

On her part, lady Christy Onabu said for marriage to work, each partner must identify his identity in Jesus Christ noting that knowing one's identity as a single before marriage places the individual in a better position to deal with marital challenges as they surface. 

Also, Venerable Iyke Egbeonu underscored the important of love in marriage, emphasizing that lack of genuine love in marriage is the reason many couples struggle and endure their marriages. 

He posited that if couples would love as Christ loved the church there would never be room for divorce and separation. 

A Gospel singer, Joe Praise urged youths not to underestimate the place of prayer in the choice of a partner noting that God alone knows the heart of man.

Joe Praise said that divine direction has averted wrong choices in marriage. 

The discussants asked the youths to avoid human connection in marriage as experience has shown that such marriages end in divorce. 

They outlined attributes to look out for in a Godly relationship to includes having love for Christ, bearing the fruits of the spirit and obeying the teachings of Christ in its  ramification as well as the fear of God in all their endeavours .
