The popular personality shared her thoughts during a TikTok live session, where she acknowledged that she believes marriage itself is a beautiful institution. However, she admitted that the marriages she sees around her today have not given her the motivation to consider walking down the aisle herself.
Sheryl questioned whether married couples in the modern era are doing enough to present marriage as a positive and desirable institution to those who are still single.
"I know marriage is beautiful, but when I look at people in marriage, hata hamtupei motivation tena. Kama hizi ndio mko?" she reportedly said, expressing her concern about the examples set by some couples.WATCH THE VIDEO.
Her comments quickly attracted attention, with Kenyans taking different positions on the issue. While some social media users appeared to agree with Sheryl, arguing that public displays of marital problems and frequent reports of separations can make marriage appear less appealing, others strongly disagreed with her perspective.
Some critics argued that marriage should not be viewed as an institution designed to inspire outsiders. According to this group, people enter relationships and marriages for their own personal reasons, and couples should not feel pressured to publicly demonstrate happiness simply to convince unmarried people to settle down.
Other Kenyans suggested that Sheryl's perception may have been influenced by the fact that many happy couples prefer to keep their private lives away from social media. They argued that people often see the struggles of troubled relationships online while couples enjoying peaceful and successful marriages rarely feel the need to publicise their happiness.WATCH THE VIDEO.
The debate also highlighted the growing influence of social media on how young people view love, relationships and marriage. With stories of breakups, infidelity allegations and marital conflicts frequently circulating online, some people have questioned whether the digital age has created unrealistic or overly negative perceptions of relationships.WATCH THE VIDEO.
At the same time, others maintained that there are still many successful marriages in Kenya, although the couples involved may choose to keep their experiences private.
