Looking for a child?

 

 

I read this piece and it brought tears to my eyes. Please read a mother's testimony:

After eight years of trying to get pregnant, years of praying, crying, anxiety and frustration, I decided to post a prayer request on a popular Nigerian church website. I think the subject was ‘when will I carry my children Lord.’ There were many responses to my prayer request but only one stood out for me. It was from a woman who asked if I had considered adoption as there were many children out there in need of parents.

Several emotions flitted through my mind after I read the comment; shock, disbelief and then anger…

Anger that she dared to suggest it, without even knowing me. Does she know my story? Does she know my pains and tears? What gave her the right to even dare!

I came to one conclusion – she must have children of her own and now feels she has the audacity to suggest adoption to me, how very selfish of her! Click to continue

Making a point?

I got this from my brother....i couldn't help but share. My thoughts on this - TOTALLY not comparable.....lol. And of course the men will like this. Read-

One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT?!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear...

Bed Time Rules for couples

Do i keep this rule? lol

by Shelley Emling

Finding a longtime couple who complains about too much hot sex is about as unusual as coming across an ice cube in the Sahara. For many, sex can grow a bit mundane after so many years with the same person. But all is not lost. You, too, can revitalize your sex life just by changing even a few of your everyday habits. Having been married for 22 years, I speak from experience. I also learned a few things by reaching out to Huff/Post50 contributor Ken Solin,who’s also AARP’s dating expert.

“If you’re sex life is on auto-pilot that may mean you’re not being fully present

....Another letter from the grave

Another abused woman, i hope she finds peace now. This is a letter she wrote about her marriage before she passed....quite lengthy and sad.



I bid you farewell…………………………………………..

I am grateful to God that I will rest in His bosom and I am more grateful because I have always wanted this opportunity to speak my mind even unto death. I guess you are surprised that even the dead can air an opinion; in my case I really wanted to because I knew that God was preparing a place for me and that is where I will be. Do not weep for so long because I found eternal peace in Him. The very peace that has eroded me in about twelve years of my God given years (at the time of this writing I am forty-one years of age and I have been married for twelve years). This is my story………

He is cheating...what next?

Divorce? , Separation?, Start cheating too?, Stop talking? Forgive and move on? ,.......what next? I really never had an answer myself until I read this. Please note:  This isn't getting the permission to continue to cheat but a means of resolution and the opportunity to take a new leaf and never do it again.

If you've ever been cheated on by your spouse, then maybe you should read this. Tina Campbell, the other half of gospel group Mary Mary opened up to Ebony magazine June issue about infidelity in her marriage; how her husband of 13 years had an affair for two years; how she first wanted to harm him and divorce him, then learning to forgive and working things out.

Tina on discovering her husband was having an affair:

“Once I became aware [of the affair], I initially wanted to kill my husband…I was considering adjusting the will, the living trust and all that kind of stuff. I did physically try to stab him. Several times…I never got to the point of physical harm, not really, but my words…My words hurt. ”

A few days after the online publication, Tina posted a message to her fans on her website asking for prayers. Click "Read more" to continue

A little beyond me - Couple maintaining abstinence after 2 years of marriage and on

Jon and Darla Crocker, who dutifully abstained from sex during their 14-month courtship, have remained abstinent after marriage and plan to do so indefinitely.
“If it was holy before, it must be double-holy afterwards,” Darla says.
They have now completed 25 months of marriage without any sexual contact, going about their normal lives, jobs and social calendar with no hint of relational strain.
Sometimes after dinner they will kiss in the kitchen and “start having bedroom thoughts,” Darla says, but they never fail to pull back. Darla breaks away to spray cool, misted water on her face. Jon eats a whole raw potato to take himself out of the mood.

Single Parenting

Today, i would like to talk about single parents. I have nothing against being a single parent because i know it happens most times due to circumstances beyond their control.

There are various reasons why people become single parents; it could be as a result of one party's good or bad attitude. Or it may be that both parties are totally incompatitble. Whatever the case may be both parties agreed to go their seperate ways.

A man's feelings about his wife

 

I got this now and i thought to share.

 

WHAT A PITY.........
The Wife Came Home Early From Work And Found Her Husband In Bedroom Making Love To A Very Attractive Young Woman. She Cried: “You Are A Disrespectful Pig! How Dare You Do This To Me — A Faithful Wife, The Mother Of Your Children! I’m Leaving You. I Want A Divorce Right Away!” Husband Replied: “Hang On Just A Minute Love So At Least I Can Tell You What Happened.” She Sobbed: “Fine, Go Ahead, But They’ll Be The Last Words You’ll Say To Me!”

Pregnant for your friend's husband?!

When i read this story....my first question was: Why is your friend living with you when you know the kind of husband you have? Can this kind of attrocities be forgiven?

A randy husband Edwin (surname withheld) at the Junior Staff Quarters, Asaba, Delta State, has put his wife's bosom in the family way three months after wedding. Reports said Edwin's wife on Thursday last week moved out of her matrimonial home when it was confirmed by the husband's personal doctor that her friend was pregnant for her husband.

Sexual predator meets lady with no morals

 

What happened to the days when ladies were cultured and displayed good morals ? We need those days back. Sigh!

Please read

My name is Chinwe, I am 26 years old, I am not a graduate simply because I was stupid and careless. On my 24^th birthday, I received a nice gift, it was a blackberry phone, I always wanted one, it was like a right of passage, my ex-boyfriend got it for me, he was a student like me, didn’t have a job, and I really never cared to ask as he could afford it, my concern at that point was, yes I had finally arrived, other girls in my hostel had blackberries and I would always get pissed when I heard sounds of pings and messages coming into their phones at all hours and I would stare at my nokia phone and wish I could throw it away, but half bread they say is better than none, so I hoped and even fasted to get a blackberry phone.

Birth Control

I have a beautiful and amazing daughter and now it is time to start thinking  number 2. Left to me, i would stick to just having one child bacause kids are a huge investment. You want to always get the maths right when it come to finances but where i come from, having one child is incomplete.

So i thought to myself, I wonder when exactly is the right time to do number 2? Well, there is no stipulated right time. Do anything that works for you that's all my research came up with.

Let's fastforward to what i have been thinking about lately - Birth control. Getting birth control as soon as i do number 2 because we will be putting a full stop to child bearing.
After my baby number 1, i talked to my doctor about birth control. She recommended a pill and off i went home excited. 2 months later i was back atmy doctor's office looking bloated and sad. She asked what the problem was, i told her i noticed the pill has made me add a lot of pounds. She then confirmed my fears....yes, you will get super fat with pills. ( I was super upset with my doc....a story for another day).

Just yesterday I shared a beautiful video. Here is another wonderful video....super hilarious.
My cousin Akinola Okunrinboye was one of the brains behind this video so thumbs up to everyone who made this short film. This is bringing Hollywood to Nollywood....lol.... The pastor is hilarious... You all got to watch this.

Ok, so jokes aside.....This video hits the nail on the head....this is exactly what 50% (my estimate) of people in a long term relationship go through. I do understand that there are some circumstances that warrant a long courtship - Finances (Both men and women want to be financially ready to afford all that comes with marriage- a home, a job, atleast a car etc), Age (Some people are just too young to start a marriage hence the long wait), Education/Career ( Substantial education and career not over the top).

On the other hand, some people are just plain selfish. They want to eat their cake and still have it (You have a "wife" you are not yet married to but you still want to enjoy the status of being "single"). Don't be selfish, do what is right if the time is right. While you are thinking he/she will always be there don't be stunned when you get a wedding invite in the mail and it is ur long term partner getting married to someone else.

I was in a long term relationship too....it did work for me but it just might not work for everyone.

No-Nonsense Wife!

My friend Tolu (Toni in the movie) shared this on her wall today and i thought every woman should see this. The lesson I learnt from this short movie is - Be careful of the advice you take from friends, No one has it easy - If anyone tells you their marriage, finance etc are 100% perfect please take to your heels.

P.S - Tolu, you are a great actress **wink**
