12 Marriage Home Truths

Lets go straight to the point shall we.

Points not written by me.

1. There is nothing that threatens the security of a wife than the thought of another woman competing for the attention and affection of her husband. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting. Nothing is more belittling and degrading.

2. Marriage flourishes when the couple works together as a team, when both husband and wife decide that winning together is more important than keeping score. Good marriages don't just happen. They are a product of hard work.

3. Your children are watching you and forming lasting opinions on love, commitment, and marriage based on what they see in you. Give them hope. Make them look forward to marriage.

4. Husbands. The reason why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them. The grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman admirable and beautiful.

5. When a husband puts his wife first above everyone and everything except God, it gives his wife the sense of security and honour that every wife hungers for.

6. A successful marriage doesn't require a bug house, a perfect spouse, a million dollars or an expensive car. You can have all the above and still have a miserable marriage. A successful marriage requires honesty, undying commitment and selfless love and Jesus at the centre of it all.

7. Pray for your spouse every day; in the morning, in the afternoon and at evening. Don't wait until there is a problem. Don't wait until something bad happens. Don't wait until there is an affair (people do not cheat by chance, they cheat by choice). Don't wait until your spouse is tempted. Shield your spouse with prayer and cover your marriage with the fence of prayer.

8. The people you surround yourself with have a lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can build or break your marriage, choose them wisely.

9. One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband and wife work together as a team to build their marriage.

10. Don't take your spouse for granted, Don't take advantage of your spouses meekness and goodness. don't mistake your spouses loyalty for desperation. Don't misuse or abuse your spouse's trust. You may end up regretting after losing someone that meant so much to you.

11. Beware of marital advice from single people. Regardless of how sincere their advice may be, most of it is rhetorical and not derived from real life experiences. If you really need Godly advice, seek it from God-fearing, impartial and prayerful mature couples whose resolve has been tested by time and shaped by trials.

12. Dear wife, don't underestimate the power of the tongue in your marriage. The tongue has the power to crush your marriage or build it up. Don't let the devil use your tongue to kill your spouse's image, self-confidence and aspirations. Let God use your tongue to build up your marriage and bless ands praise your spouse.

The Cockroach Theory For Self Development

Insightful.

A beautiful Speech by Mr Anonymous

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.

She started screaming (obviously) out of fear.

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away, but..it landed on another lady in the group.

Now it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In relay of the throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behaviour of the cockroach on his shirt.

When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behaviour? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

I realised that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but its my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It is not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the Cockroach Theory:

I understood that I should not react in life. I should always respond. The women reacted whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought out.

A beautiful way to understand life...

A person who is happy is not happy because everything is right in his life.

He is happy because his attitude towards everything in his life is right!

Kind of makes you go hmmmmmmm right?

Joke of The Day: Efo Was Baptised

Who else read this today? It had me in stitches...

Efo was baptised. The Pastor dipped his head into water three times and said, "You are baptised. Your old sins are forgiven, you are a new creation, your new name is Jacob. No more drinking of alcohol".

Efo went home and goes straight to his refrigerator, took all his alcohol bottles out, dipped them into water three times and said "You are baptised, your old sins are forgiven, you are a new creation, your new name is now fruit juice".

Hehehehe.....its the little things

Happy St Valentines Day.... With Love

Happy St Valentines Day!

Today is all about sharing love. Honestly, with all the bad news in the press, it is nice to take out one day to celebrate love in many forms. Although we show our loved ones we love them by giving them cards, flowers, chocolates, gift vouchers, trips abroad, spa surprises, phone gadgets, presents etc, I think it is important to understand that like Christmas, St. Valentines Day is not just about the exchange of gifts but the sharing of love. For God so loved the WORLD..... So today, lets share a little love. With everyone in our world.

Here is a short note on Love and St. Valentines Day that was shared with me today.

Love

Love is believing, trusting, helping, encouraging, confiding, sharing, understanding, feeling, touching, caring, praying, giving. Love is an emotion. Love is passionate, alive, vibrant and warm. Love is something that gets better all the time.

Love is the greatest need of mankind, so love is the greatest service to mankind. Love is spiritual but is manifested in the physical. Love is thoughtfulness. Love is always. Love knows no hours or days. Love is always finding a way. Love is giving all. Love is rare - the unselfish kind. Love is priceless. Love is its own reward.

Love is sacrificial. Love is preferring the happiness of others to our own. Love never counts costs or returns. Rotary is love! Love is seen as it is put into action. Our good deeds done in love is wealth created!

Love is never lost. It always has its effect sooner or later. Love is forever.

Love is the name of God.

Love is the power of God. Love is God, for God is love. God's ultimate love is Jesus!

St. Valentine went around during his lifetime, preaching the God's kind of love as in the litany of love above but he got martyred for it unfortunately, but although he's no more, his spirit and teachings live on!

Happy St. Valentines Day!

Live it! Enjoy it!
