Taste and see... THE LOVE STORY (birthday in the midst of Covid 19)

Buenos dias a todos, I have been writting posts about marriage beacause I feel inspired to share my personal experiences in marriage to help save other marriages. Along the way, I realized other couples also wanted to share thier experiences as well to help save more marriages. What a blessing God has given unto us to expand His kingdom. Come one, come all. Let us go out there and save more marriages.  Today, I am narrating the full story of this same beautiful man I met a long time ago. FYI, he is even more beautiful presently.  I met him when I had just completed High School. He had also just completed College.  I was working as a sales girl in a garment shop. A colleague of mine was his friend. He had come there to visit her and give her a flyer advertising a drama school he was starting. We had common intrest: film making. I still remember that first glance at him clearly like it was yesterday, ''What a beautiful boy'' I thought. Then took a second look at hi...

In the midst of COVID-19... HOME ISN'T CANCELLED!

Dear people, The Lord is good always. His Faithfulness is ever true and His mercies are new everyday.  I am excited to write today. Why? Because this Covid thing has been everywhere since months ago but it just dawned on me to write today about some benefits and lessons we may gain from this crisis.  First of all, It brings us the opportunity to spend time with family. I am talking quality time. Now you have no choice but to stay home with the woman who annoys you to the brim. Haha. Neither do you have a choice but to do the wifely/motherly duties to those ingrates of  a husband and children you have. They never say thanks to you. Meanwhile you have to get the home running. HAHAHAAAA! Oh Covid! We have no choice but to co-operate somehow and make this stay home period enjoyable and a happy one. After all, if you don't enjoy each others company now, you will regret it soon. Loneliness leads to negativity. Negativity leads to sin. For your own sanity, be happy and liv...

''Give me a man, with whom I will serve You...'' A legendary love story

Bonjour,  I am tearing up listening to Mama Gloria Bamiloye saying something about her husband, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye. They inspired me to write this. Most of my posts so far has been on praying about your marriage and making God the centre of it.  To the singles out there, have you ever thought of communicating with God about your future partner?  Do you have expectations(specs) of whom you would like to share the rest of your life with?  Go to God in prayer and ask Him to give you what you want. The best part of God anwering your prayer is Him giving you what is actually Best for you. He knows what you need but He needs you to ask for it.  Now to today's topic; Marriage can actually take you to hell; either here on earth or after you are dead! That is why I have my slogan of, ''it is not here that matters, but in the end, before my creator" . This phrase (title for today), from Mama Gloria, shook me. It made me think back to what I had prayed ...

Eight things to pray about in your marriage

Buenos Dias, We have discussed how important it is to pray about your marriage, Because we do not war against flesh, but against principalities.  So now, what exactly, do we pray for?  Here are some areas where I believe we should pray for or about more often. There could be more but I am focusing on eight for today. Remember to never cease praying. 1) Pray for the Blessing of the day(today): Today (everyday you wake up) is the most important day of your life. We need to be grateful for life and for the opportunity to do what we need to do and do it right; not waiting for some other day to it. 2) Pray for the Presence of  Christ: Pray for the Lord, Jesus Christ to be present in your marriage. That means you asking him to be the centre and pivot of your marriage. Again it means you are going to be The Christ in your marrige(What will Jesus Do?) Be Jesus to your spouse, to your children. The Leader if you are the husband and the helpmeet if you are the w...

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

Welcome Dear Readers, We need the right boundaries and foundation to survive this world. A healthy life built on God's word.Setting healthy boundaries can sometimes be very difficult to define. Trust me, Extremely difficult because you look at how the other partner is going to feel about whatever boundary you are coming up with. But unfortunately a marriage without boundaries is headed for doom. We encounter boundaries in our daily lives; the traffic light, the stop signs, medicine dosage, sports rules, work expectations, the ten commandments on and on and on it goes. Boundaries are good for our marriages because they assure us of how to stay safe and healthy in different situations. It protects the marriage and makes the marriage strong. Boundaries can be spoken or unspoken. As a couple,we must establish boundaries to protect the integrity of our marriage . It is important that a couple is on the same page when it comes to boundaries. So what boundaries do we set in our ma...

REBUILDING TRUST

Salut! Like I said in one my articles, I still believe trust is earned. My husband believes its a free gift of sacrifice. I believe your question now to me is , ''how are you guys coping?'' or ''are you guys not agreeing as a couple?''  Well, we agree as a couple, and we are coping with the word of God which is To trust in all situations. He knows I expect his behavior to make it easy for me to trust him, He accepts that without criticism. I know he professes to trust me anyways ,that does not mean I abuse that opportunity. That comes to clarify that, when I see actions that do not allow me to trust easily, I go to God in prayer for clarification especially when it has to do with my marriage. Let me share another real story with you. Mr Cobby felt his wife was too perfect to be trusted. Perfect people do not exist, so why is his wife pretending to be perfect. She is sneaky, he thought. So they got separated living in different countries. During that ...
