The Plight of Modern Relationships and the Crisis it has Caused in the World

In The Plight of Modern Relationships and the Crisis It Has Caused in the World, Joshua Mukalazi Kizito delivers a bold and unfiltered examination of how relationships have shifted from lifelong covenants to fragile contracts - and how that shift is destabilizing families, communities, and entire societies. Drawing from cultural history, lived experience, and social observation, the author contrasts traditional marriage systems - where union was permanent and responsibility was absolute - with today's modern arrangements built on image, financial display, and short-term expectations.
He explores how exaggerated introductions, financial pretense, and material showmanship create illusions that later collapse into resentment, mistrust, and separation. At the heart of the book lies a hard question:If relationships have become transactional, can they still sustain families?
