“Saa hii mungu akiamua tu apatanishe watu na their dream person, 70 per cent of the marriages will break. Zitaisha. Mimi nakuambia 70 per cent of the married people are still single. Mwili ndio iko kwa marriage lakini roho iko single,” he said.
According to Consumator, many people enter marriage by chance or convenience rather than true love. He said, “Na ukiwauliza mbona uliolewa huko, wanakuambia, nilijipata… ili happen tu. Most of the married people wako kwa hiyo statement. Nilijipata ehh..weeeh. Unaweza kuwa hapo na mtu sio wako.”
He explained that some people are married just because it happened, not because they found the right person, and that this often leads to emotional disconnection within relationships.

Married in body, single in spirit
Consumator’s observation touches on a topic widely discussed in Kenya. Many people feel that marriage is sometimes treated as a status or convenience rather than a commitment based on love.
Conversations on social media platforms, especially X, often revolve around similar ideas, with users debating why some partners remain emotionally distant. Some say people stay with partners they cannot afford or that they are married for social appearance rather than a genuine connection.
The comedian’s remarks show the difference between physical presence and emotional presence in marriage. He notes that while bodies may be joined legally or socially, hearts and minds may still be unattached.
This reality, he suggests, is common among many couples in Kenya. Consumator’s humour makes the topic engaging, but the message resonates with deeper truths about commitment, love, and personal fulfilment.
These observations encourage reflection on why people marry and what makes a marriage meaningful. Consumator’s claims may be controversial, but they also spark dialogue about the importance of emotional connection and honesty in relationships. Whether people agree or not, his message reminds married couples to examine whether they are truly present with their partners or simply going through the motions of marriage.
