THE GOLDEN SECRETS OF A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE (PART 1)

A lot have often wondered, what really makes a marriage successful? How can couples make their marriage work? Why do some people have a happy union and some others don't? Truth of the matter is that, there are no established strategies to making a union work and last, all it requires is equal commitment and devotion from both parties. And of course, the grace of God. But there are some well kept secrets to making a marriage work and last. We consider these secrets very golden, and would like to share some of them with you. 

In any marriage, Gentleness & Softness are always

I always find myself loving a man that doesn't love me, instead I am being adored by those I don't love. What should I do?

I always find myself loving a man that does not love me, instead I am being adored by those I don't love. Sometimes, I end up with the wrong person. What should I do?

You need to take your time and really study or analyse any guy that approaches you before dating him. The reasons you keep finding yourself with the wrong men could either be because you are looking for or attracted to the wrong qualities in men. For example, if you are attracted to guys with "swag"  then it may take you a long time to find a decent man. And you also have to understand that no man is 100% perfect, don't expect to meet a tall, handsome, God fearing, romantic, well to do man that will love you exactly the way you want. If he's handsome and rich with class, then chances are that he's

Who wants an ungreatful wife?

When women hang out together and get down to gisting about stuffs, often times, when they're not talking about fashion, they're busy talking about guys! They're either talking about how their man gives them so much loving or how much heartache he's causing them. When they go on and on about men, you'll begin to wonder if there aren't at least a few good men left. But gisting about each others' partner is not the exclusive reserve of women alone. Men, too, talk about women when they hang out. And we also complain about some of the negatives of our women. Few days ago, myself and some of my colleagues were at the eatery opposite the office having lunch when our discussion veered to women and how increasingly difficult its become these days to maintain a woman in this recession period.    

"Problem with most of our women is that a lot of them are ungrateful", Isaac remarked, packing a mouthful of fried rice. "No matter what you do, they insist you have not done enough, they believe they have given much more to the relationship than you're giving to them."

"But must the strength of every relationship be based on materialistic gains? What in heavens name happened to good old sweet love?" Seun asked, looking into our eyes for answers.

I shrugged. "Who can give you the answer you seek? Only the women themselves can answer that question," I'd offered. "Its not such a nice feeling though, knowing your woman is not appreciative of the little things you do for her.."

"Can you imagine, last week I gave my wife a

5 signs that love may be lacking in your marriage

Today I want to outline some of the signs that love may be lacking in a marriage:

1. Stinginess: If your partner  loves you they wont be stingy to you. John 3: 16

When someone who can give, is not giving to you question the persons love for you, when you are in Love you do some things without thinking twice. You should give your time to your relationship, emotions, material things, and sometimes you give up a goal for the good of someone you love.

PART 2: Whatever is Done in The Dark...

I turned to my wife. She was looking away from me. I could see a tear drop run from straight down the side of her face. I wanted to move a few steps closer to her so I can jolt her to speak to me, but I found my legs had suddenly grown too heavy to carry me. 

"Gina!" I screamed at the top of my wife. That jolted her. She turned to face me. "What in heaven's name is going on here?"

What Ever is Done in The Dark...

When I was much younger and I heard adults say only a woman knows the true father of her child, I was always often puzzled. It didn't quite sink into my head at the time. How could only the woman know the father of her child? Doesn't everybody know the father of her child is her husband? I had wondered. But that was a long time ago. Now, I understand where the adults were coming from then. Today, some medical experts have claimed they have statistics to show that over 50% of the first child in many families are actually not fathered by the man they know as their father. Some have even insisted the percentage is well over 60%. I have found this stunning ever since I stumbled onto it last year. But, truth is, whether the figures are exaggerated or not, this issue remains perhaps one of man's biggest challenges in marriage, especially when the union is one built on insufficient love and lacking in absolute faithfulness. I remember Ade's story. This happened less than a year ago. Its a true life story that can only be described as any man's biggest nightmare, the sort of ordeal you would never wish even on your worst enemy.
