Abstract: This review aims to visualize Marriage and Family Life in Africa. The study further examined the traditional structure of marriage, Marriage and Love in the African Culture, Divorce, Marriage and procreation, and the education of children. It is undeniable that marriage and family institutions are in a serious crisis in most African countries. Significant changes in family structure are material evidence of this affirmation. The lack of interest in marriage and family life on the part of many youths, the high rate of divorce, the usage of contraceptives and sterilization, the increase in cohabitation, the singlehood, the same-sex parents, the management of children of divorced families are challenges arising from the state in which marriage and family life find itself today.  As if these were insufficient, the difficult economic climate renders both individual and collective efforts to pull marriage and family life institutions out of their corruption very difficult. This highlights the relevance of this research article to contribute to the challenging project of saving marriage and family life from its severe crisis.
