How prepared are you to embark on this journey?

A married man was travelling in an air craft and was wearing his wedding ring on a wrong finger and someone noticed and said "Sir, you're wearing your ring on a wrong finger". The man responded, “Don’t worry; it is because I married a wrong woman".

OVER THE HILL: OLDER MEN, OLDER WOMEN AND HUMAN NATURE.

Is it too late to love? No. If only we can come off our fictitious imagination, get real and humble ourselves, we will have it soon

Do you really care?

How do you show your partner that you love them? Do you give them gifts? Do you take them out for a meal or cook a special dinner for them? Do you tell them half a dozen times a day, ' I love you?' And do they do the same for you?

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.

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.
