Marriage is one of the most cherished events in a person's life, especially for a Christian. However, more questions can arise about marriage even after the wedding vows are said. Author William Femi Awodele discusses a comprehensive point of view on marriage through his new book, Common Questions and Biblical-Christianity Influenced Answers for African Marriages in the Diaspora. William provides biblical responses through a question-and-answer format in regards to common issues and concerns in African marriages. Differences between African and Western cultures towards matrimony are discussed, but the central focus is on men and women's roles in relationships: in dating, courtship and marriage. Finances in marriage, raising children biblically and marrying from different cultures are among the topics answered, as well as the role of in-laws in marriage and sex before and into marriage. The hope is for Christians to marry true Christians, going from two to one in flesh.

Marry Me in Africa is an invitation to discuss approaches and processes in African marriage ritual. As one crucial institution in African culture, marriage in its traditional African definition has helped many of the continents cultures maintain a sense of community and identity. This book invites especially students and researchers into exchanges on some African marriage traditions and their roles in African societies. It concerns those aspects that fascinate me and many other Africans that we believe will interest people in the New World, particularly the Caribbean. Researchers of the African Diaspora might want to use some of the marriage practices for reconstructing models for analysis and interpretation of the formation and transformation of the African heritage in the Diaspora. Marry Me in Africa is particularly useful for scholars not familiar with the different cultural practices among African societies, their sources of identity and diversity, and the implications of these for understanding African social systems. This book will be a useful companion for other scholars who know about some of the cultural practices but are unable to identify exactly their relationship to specific ethnic groups, traditional concepts, social, political, economic, technological, and other practices that have constituted the patterns of cultural behavior among African societies through marriage. Individual or local cultural traditions and practices are presented within the context of the general African cultural heritage, leading to cross-cultural comparison and generalizations. The convergence of traditional marriage patterns and continuities in specific aspects of traditional values and behavior of various societies are examined over the common-ground sense of community among Africans that may not be the same today as in the past. For this reason this book takes the liberty to discuss present manifestations of a transformed past in the present.

There is an epidemic of divorce within the African diaspora in the West. Throughout the community, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of people where divorce has touched every member present, some more than once. The effects of this epidemic are far-reaching and devastating, causing many pathological conditions and in some cases, even leading to death. Divorce in this community has now moved from primarily a social and religious issue to become a serious public health issue. The question is, where did this come from, and what can be done? How can this epidemic be stopped and the tide turned for future generations? The End of Marriage by Adrien Ngudiankama is a pastoral ethnography developed over two decades as a pastor and social scientist working with the African and African Caribbean populations in France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Containing sobering statistics, insightful case studies, and informed reflections, the book draws analyses from theology, sociology, anthropology, health promotion, and public health in order to address the question of what has caused the epidemic of divorce in these communities and how the problem can be solved. With both academic and spiritual implications, this book is an important resource for those dealing with social issues related to the African and African Caribbean immigrant/refugee communities. Yet, with Adrien's experience in both the academic and religious realms, it acts as an important pedagogic manual to be used by both individuals and institutions, and readers will walk away with a holistic understanding of this situation occurring today.

All objective indices show that the marriages of today's Africans in the contemporary African Diaspora world, have increasingly become seriously troubled, often alarmingly broken and literally deadly. This new harrowing experience now increasingly commonplace among Africans living in Diaspora foreign lands, especially the West, of irreconcilable marital conflicts and Western-type "divorce" (a term or concept that lacks a literal equivalence in most African languages), previously alien and a rarity in African marriages and culture, has often left Diaspora marital couples and their children in nothing short of utter ruins - life of bitterness, misery, disharmony, dysfunctionality, horrendous violence and unspeakable savagery, and even the shedding of family blood. Volume One. Essentially the "diagnostic" part, defines and sets forth the problem, identifying and locating the basic "root source" of the factors and issues at the core of the problems and difficulties afflicting broken and threatened Diaspora Africans' marriages, while outlining the basic culture, attitudes and values of America and the West in matters of marriage and the family, and their the negative impact they have on some Diaspora African spouses, the so-called "Americanized" or "Westernized" Africans. . Volume Two. Is essentially the "treatment" part that deals with the remedial aspects of the problem. Outlines a systematic approach by which an African in the Diaspora (or in Africa) can essentially "plan" and lay a solid foundation for, and have, a successful and virtually fail-proof marriage in the Diaspora that inculcates BOTH his/her African culture and Christian or Muslim tenets, culminating in an African Diaspora marriage and family of harmony and fulfillment that lasts for a lifetime. Benjamin O. Anosike, B.B.A., MA., Ph.D., has severally served at various points in his long and illustrious career, as a New York civil and family law practitioner, legal scholar and counselor, certified marriage mediator, pre-marriage counselor, domestic relationship expert, public consumer rights advocate and social activist, professional writer, citizen journalist, University lecturer, and oil dealers' Mandate & Consultant. Anosike is the creator of the fail-proof ASFGSM formula (Anosike Strategic Formula for Guaranteed Successful Marriage) - the simple but effective formula for guaranteed harmonious personal relationship, which, when strictly adhered to in marriage, almost guarantees you'd have a lasting, happy and successful marriage. Educated and resident for almost his entire life (except only for his teenage years) in the United States, Anosike holds the B.B.A, the M.A., and several advanced degrees, and a Ph.D. degree, which he earned in jurisprudence (law). Dr. Anosike is joyfully and peacefully married to his wonderful wife both of whom live with their three delightful boys. keywords: Marriage, African, American, Divorce, Legal, Civil, African Culture, Christian Culture, Diaspora, Marital Conflicts "
