TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE

Think before you speak:  Do not be hasty in making comments about your spouse. Control your words and comments about issues in the home. The scripture says in James 1:19, "Wherefore, my beloved  brethren, let every man be swift to hear,  slow to speak, slow to wrath". Avoid retaliation: For lasting peace to be maintained in a marriage, each partner must resist the urge to retaliate. Rather, they should learn to discuss issues so as to understand the causes of frictions and how to avoid a re-occurrence. Be purposeful in your actions: Do not act by chance, neither be careless in your actions. Act with genuine reasons. Avoid acting by impulse. Otherwise, your spouse may not really understand you. In other words, you may never be taken serious until things get worse in the home. Avoid bad influences in your marriage: Avoid third person interference in your marriage. Also, avoid discussing sailient issues in your marriage with friends, especially those friends or associa

Love is a choice, a commitment to respond at all times and in all situations like God who is Love. To develop a deeper love walk requires concerted effort of the persons involved. It is more practical than theoretical.  Marriages with strong foundations include a worldview that goes deeper than compatibility, best friends and love - deeper than feelings. What is unseen in these relationships is the view that the goal is not happiness; the altimate goal is oneness. However, in the midst of this symbiosis, happiness is bound to ensue. The couple know they are a team, with the following important tips in mind: (1) Each one is out to make the other happy, rather than focus on making the self happy. (2) Happiness is not the goal of marriage because happiness is like the ebb and flow of a tide, always changing.

Valentine Poem : HEY! ANOTHER VALENTINE! An age long longing A genuine conviction Bathed in the water of the spirit Flowing on the table of the soul Across ages, races and faces Dead yet undying In the abode Of the Mother-Earth    Bad! Sad! Not a fad! Indeed excruciating!   Oh Valentinus! How brutally treated In the cruel theater Of the callous Claudius Christened by majority, “saint” After his conviction Unwavering! Resolute! Giving no dam To fight the fight And right the wrongs Great Valentinus! Claudius the Great! Claudius the callous! Adorned in elegance Wrapped in awe The awe of tyranny With armaments of cruelty Wrestling with agape For a romance with paganism     Love in the air Oh Agape In days gone by True, divine But now Echoes of Lust Embellishment of Affection In the shrine of eros Mingled and Tangled In a hash and rash tempo On the carpets of infatuation Singing the

" Love is not a feeling but a determined act of will, which always results in determined acts of self giving. Love is the willing, joyful desire to put the welfare of others above our own" - John MacArthur. Some see LOVE as a willful act of generosity, a show of appreciation or rather, a show of mercy. But I think it is far more than all this. It is far greater than just a feeling. It requires much attention and the whole of your beings - your spirit, soul and body. Genuine love does not stop at the sweetness of the appearance but has to do more with the tenderness of a heart determined to serve unconditionally. True love is far greater than giving or any acts of generosity. If it must be defined in terms of giving, then it must be sacrificial in all dimensions. It is longsuffering, kind, sincere, humble, plain and objective rather than being judgemental. It is not easily provoked, it hates to do evil but consent to that which is good.  True love does not rej

True Love Is Divine... An Insurance Against Hate True Love is not only hard to find, but a harder task to manage. It is divine. Its universality and potency make it an indispensable instrument of peace.  Where true love exists, the weapons of hate are consumed. Though peace is not the absence of war, but the application of the instrumentality of LOVE to incapacitate the agents of war, which commandant is HATE.  Therefore, let us love, not just in the letter, but in the power thereof: for there is power in true love, far beyond human imagination, boundless and eternal.  True love is a cord of infinite affection, existing from eternity past to the present, onto eternity to come. It is the force that binds the centre of humanity in the bond of peace. True love is as aged as The Creator Himself, for GOD is LOVE and LOVE is GOD. Therefore, He that does not love is a hater of the ALMIGHTY GOD, for true love is divine.  True love cannot be purchased with money, but thrives on t
