Domestic violence, infidelity, drug addiction and infertility are some of the major reasons why most millennial marriages don't work.

But for pastor Robert Burale's case, none of the above led to the death of his relationship with his baby mama.

In a recent interview with Sde, the stylish pastor opened up about his past relationship saying he regrets why he was not a good husband to his wife.

"We courted for five months and then got married in the same year. Everybody said we were rushing it but we were in love, in hindsight, we should have listened. We dated, courted, paid dowry and got married all within five months. Her parents were okay," said burale.

The father of one went ahead to reveal three major things he didn’t do that ruined his marriage saying communication is key in every relationship.

"I wish I had communicated better with her, listened to her. I also wish I spent more time with her. It’s not that I was travelling or working a lot but sometimes you can be in the same room as someone else but you are not really spending time together."

Adding that;

"There was also outside influence from friends. Nobody gets into marriage wanting it to fail. Mine failed after one year, two days! It was painful and depressing. I tried to hide it for a while. For four months, I was still putting on my ring.

It was hard to pretend because I was a preacher. There was no infidelity in our marriage, but we should have cultivated our friendship more because this is what holds a marriage together. We should have been friends first."
