Good people often marry bad people due to naivety – Kingsley Okonkwo

Kingsley Okonkwo, a respected clergyman, has offered a thought-provoking perspective on why “good people” often struggle to find compatible partners.

According to Okonkwo, good individuals tend to be naive and lack the discernment to recognize and choose someone with similar values and character.

In a post on X, Okonkwo noted that “bad people,” on the other hand, are often more strategic in their relationships.

They recognize that pairing with another “bad person” would be detrimental and instead seek out “good people” to partner with.

This imbalance can lead to unhealthy relationships, where the good person suffers at the hands of the bad person.

Okonkwo summarized the dynamics of different relationships, saying:

“Listen…there’s such a thing as a “good person”, a person that has good behavior, good nature, good everything and almost everyone around them agrees they are good

Just that they usually don’t have enough sense to marry another good person, you see “bad” people have sense enough to know they can’t marry another “bad person ”

But you see good people, they are naive, they think they can change or manage bad people and they usually suffer

Bad people are experts at dating and picking good people, their eyes are sharp

It’s amazing when two good people people marry, it’s war when two bad people marry, it’s sad when a good person marries a bad person.”
