PUT EACH OTHER FIRST

Put your partner first. Selfishness will never work in relationship.

I know a couple who decided to seize an opportunity to build themselves a house, and the man took charge of the work. Halfway through the process, the woman decided- for entirely valid reasons , one of which was that the area was prone to armed robbery attacks - that she wasn't at all sure she wanted to live in that house when it was completed. The man on the other hand had put a great deal of effort into it and didn't want to waste it.

FORGIVE SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN

Do you find it difficult to forgive? Forgive always. It's divine! It frees your soul and makes you come to light.

Forgiveness within marriage starts well, but becomes more difficult if the other partner refuses to change. When your spouse repeatedly sin against or wrong you, it is tough to keep on giving forgiveness.

MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTRACT BUT A COVENANT.

I studied the law of CONTRACT in the university so I'm conversant with what it entails. Also, I read my Bible meticulously, so I know what COVENANT means, apart from their dictionary meaning.

A MAN AND WIFE'S SALARIES AND ACCOUNTS

There're men who collect their wives' salaries as soon as they are paid. In this situation, it is expected that the man should disburse all the monies to be expanded in family budgets, contingencies and exigencies. However, this has proved not to be a very reliable and advisable system because it is not always that the man is available to provide for everything his family may need. Moreover, it is not always good for the wife to keep asking for money to buy kerosene today and money to buy matches tomorrow. This frequent asking for money by wives has known to be one of the commonest causes of matrimonial misunderstanding.

Is their chemistry between you?

If a man refuses to face these facts and marries a lady although he has reservations about her looks, a distance will build between them with time. He will find her less and less attractive. He will spend less time with her and be close to her only out of duty. He will often find the sexual relationship with her boring. He'll tend to kiss her less and less, and, with time, their relationship will become cold and formal; and if they labour and grow in Christian character, the relationship will become one of a brother and sister and not of a husband and wife.

PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL COMPATIBILTY

Do they appeal to you sexually? Don't say you are not warned!

I've been attending marriage seminars for the past 6months and many things are being discussed. The title is one of the topics discussed.
But before, I go into it, I must state that, outward appearance and sexual appeal may be what attracts us to each other, but neither has any power to sustain the relationship. That kind of attraction is like perfume. Your senses will smell it when you are putting it on, but within minutes you will not be aware of the scent.

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE

For better For worse

The first question the officiating priest asks a man during his wedding in the open and to the hearing of everyone- is whether he will take the woman as his wedded wife,......Love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all other, keep only unto her, so long as both shall live.

THINGS THAT AFFECT LOVE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Why not be tender, caring and loving than stressful and troublesome! What do you gain from mischief?

NAGGING: Prov 21v9 says," It is better to live at the corner of a roof than to live with a nagging woman." But it is not only women that nag. Some men nag more than women.
