YOUR SPOUSE NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT

So this morning my wife woke me up to complain about our special needs kids. "But you've shown serious and unbelievable resilience" was my response. "Is that all you have got to say?" She interrogated. "Oh, sorry, keep it up and talk to me when you feel like it".

That your spouse is doing their best does not make them superhuman, they nerd your encouragement and support from time to time. Do not fail to do that so they do not breakdown.

Yes, they might be batter than you in some aspects of parenting, that does not mean you should stay aloof and indifferent. Encourage them, find out from them what you can do to support. While she is in the kitchen preparing the meal, you could help bath the children and get them ready for school.

Nobody is a superhuman, they are only showing commitment and such must be adequately reciprocated by way of getting involved with them and helping to take some pressure off them.

See ehn, there is nothing as sweet as collaboration in marriage. You both will ahe gracefully together and enjoy your children peacefully. On the otherhand, failing to collaboration will leave one partner wounded and distressed. They may become resentful and unnecessarily angry with any little thing. Even if you age together, there will be no harmony between you two.

Talk to your spouse today, encourage them for their commitment and get involved too in anyway possible. It makes a whole lot of positive impact in the the marriage.

Together we can make the world a better place.

SINGLE LADIES AND LACK OF A PURPOSEFUL LIFE

It's surprising how alot of single ladies in this age and time lack purpose and this includes the so called educated ones.

How on earth does a lady who has vigorously pursued a course of study to the point of becoming a graduate, just end up being deceived by one pl***oy?

It simply shows lack of purposefulness. Once you fall into this category, you are likely to become a victim of manipulation. I like single ladies who know where they are headed to and sieve everyone based on their direction in life.

Met a young lady who was jilted by a man who camouflaged around her as a caring and prospective husband. Immediately she got pregnant, the young man vanished into thin air leaving her to her fate.

In the words of this young lady "he was so jovial and lovely that no one, including you, would have suspected any ulterior motive". Damn it! But it has happened.

Are you experiencing a similar manipulation as we speak? Better open your eyes before it gets late. Get yourself a life and do not just exist. I have alot of single ladies around who are making serious impact in their generation.

Do not get me wrong, marriage is a honourable thing but be guided by purpose as you journey down that path, else you can be sure of falling prey to some predators who are out to take advantage of your desperation and lack of purpose.

I am addressing this to single ladies because they are the majority on the victims' corner. It is easier for a man to manipulate a lady than the other way round. Be guided as a single lady. The consequences are grievous.

Together we can make the world a better place.

PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK?

Inasmuch as I would never advise any lady to get pregnant out of wedlock, if you mistakenly discover yourself pregnant as a lady, do not even contemplate abortion, not to talk of doing it. Just prepare your mind and own up to taking care of that pregnancy and ensuring the child stays alive. This is not for religious or moral reasons. I will explain later in this piece.

A leading reason why ladies abort is because of stigmatisation. Another reason is because of lack of support either from the man who got them pregnant or family members. Some others because they wouldn't want the pregnancy to interfere with their career or academic journey.

While you should have been mindful of these consequences you think you are evading through abortion, it is good you know that abortion can never take away the consequences of your actions. Yes, it will worsen it because the emotional torture of eliminating a precious life is worse than whatever you think you are running away from.

Now, why am I advising that you keep that child? It is simply because you do not know what would become of that child. That child might end up being the only family you have got. You may not understand until you are in need, then you will discover those who are truly your family.

Even if you eventually get to have other family members who truly care, that child might just be unique among them. No child is a mistake as many refer to such children because it is God who makes conception possible. So that child came into your life for a purpose and you dare not kill that purpose because you might be directly affected as a result.

I have a close female friend well known to my wife who had a child out of wedlock in her teenage age. Today, that child is the only person that keeps her going because she got confined to a spot few years after having that child and for close to 20 years if not more, she has been unable to walk.

I have a church member who had a child out of wedlock years before she got married. Today, despite being married, she can only boast of that child she had out of wedlock. The stories are numerous.

So you that lady that is currently pregnant after carelessly celebrating Valentine's Day and is contemplating an abortion, hold it there and ponder on what you just read. Yes, the stigma is heavy, the shame is huge and the pressure that comes with pregnancy isn't funny but facing them is far better than the consequence of taking a life for your temporary convenience.

Truth is, that life will not rest in peace. He or she will come back for you when you least expect and you will pay with your own life, except God decides to intervene in your case but God is not unjust and would not avert justice for such a life. So why put your life on the line?

That pregnancy, though unexpected is God-given and must be preserved at all cost. Life is sacred and life exist right from conception. Congratulations for owning up to your mistake as a pregnant single. It does not matter how people look at you, you deserve to be celebrated.

Together we can make the world a better place.

"After NYSC, I married my wife. We moved to Lagos, rented a three-bedroom flat, had two children, and I paid all the household bills even after she started working.

When I later lost my job, we downsized to a single room and still struggled to pay rent.

One day, while searching for my National ID, I discovered receipts for blocks, cement, wiring, roofing sheets, tiles, and a borehole. That was when I realised she had secretly built a house.

When I confronted her, she said she was waiting for the “perfect time” to tell me.

I feel betrayed and broken. The house is now completed, and she is begging us to move in, but I have refused. Should I move in with her or not?"

— Man narrates how his wife secretly built a house without telling him.

There are times you focus your mind on meditation and contemplation. Do not always talk without thinking through. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Marriages crash because partners talk without weighing the implication of their speech. One careless comment is capable of destroying your marriage.

Words, once aired, cannot be retrieved. Know this and know peace.

Together we can make the world a better place.

Modern Marriages Collapse Faster—Because They Come Late

Let’s talk about what nobody wants to admit:

The later a woman marries,
the harder she is to build with.

Because while the world praises “maturity” and “independence,”
real men know:

You don’t marry potential at its expiration date.

Let’s break it down:

1. Youth Means Flexibility—Age Means Resistance

A young woman comes into marriage fluid.
She’s teachable. She’s open. She adapts.

Not because she’s weak—
But because she hasn’t been hardened by life yet.

At 19, she learns through love.
At 29, she only learns through trauma.

By 30?

She’s no longer learning.
She’s negotiating.

And now every instruction feels like control.
Every correction sounds like oppression.
Every standard gets labeled as “toxic.”

You can’t lead someone who thinks they’ve already arrived.

—

2. Early Marriage Protects Fertility—And Your Future Bloodline

Science doesn’t lie.

The earlier she conceives,
the healthier her eggs.
The lower the risk of miscarriage, ADHD, and birth complications.

You don’t hear this in the media.
But even s***m damage can be offset by young, healthy eggs.

She’s not just your wife.

She’s the gatekeeper of your legacy.

And age is not kind to the gate.

—

3. She’s Not Bringing a Clean Slate—She’s Bringing a Resume of Regret

By 30, most modern women have:

– 12+ exes
– 5+ heartbreaks
– 3 years of therapy
– A list of emotional triggers
– A soul tired of trusting men
– A past funded by men better than you—and worse

Now you walk in as the cleanup crew.
You marry her leftovers.
You inherit a wounded soul packaged in soft glam.

And no matter how loving you are?

She can’t bond with you.
Because her heart is still haunted.

—

4. She Wasn’t Picked—She Settled

When a woman marries young,
she does so at her peak.

She was wanted.
Chosen.
Desirable.

And she sacrificed from the top of her value.

But when she marries late?

It’s not out of abundance.
It’s out of fatigue.

She’s not submitting.
She’s surrendering—because the streets stopped calling back.

And now you, the “good man,”
become her retirement plan.

Not her reward.

—

5. She’s Not Building With You—She’s Billing You From Day One

She doesn’t know your story.
Didn’t sacrifice in your grind.
Doesn’t understand your foundation.

But she demands protection…
Provision…
And prenup-free access to your life’s work.

She’s not entering a partnership.
She’s entering an inheritance.

And if it collapses?

She takes half—and posts about "reclaiming her peace."

—

6. Her History Is a Mystery—And You Pay the Price

Modern men are signing prenups not out of paranoia—
But survival.

You’re not marrying a blank page.
You’re marrying a woman with:

– Untold trauma
– Invisible scars
– High expectations
– No endurance
– And a legal system behind her

You can’t vet 15 years of dating history.

You’re walking into a maze with no map.
And when she taps out?

You get taxed for trusting too late.

—

7. When a Woman Marries Too Late—She’s Already Emotionally Retired

You can’t spark loyalty in someone who’s seen too much.

You can’t teach femininity to a woman who wore masculinity for 12 years.

You can’t start fresh with someone whose past is a landfill of emotional damage.

Late marriage turns relationships into negotiations.
Not commitment.
Not sacrifice.
Just trade-offs.

She gives you what’s left.
Then sets an exit strategy.

And you?
You’re just the landing pad.

—

Final Word: You Can’t Build a Kingdom on Expired Foundations

This is not hate.
It’s a warning.

Marry early.
Build while she's moldable.
Invest in someone who grows with you—not someone who's tired of failing elsewhere.

Because when you marry late?

You're not starting life.
You're inheriting her debt—emotional, financial, and spiritual.

And when she finally leaves?

She won’t feel guilt.

She’ll feel justified.

Because her happiness was always the goal,
Not your legacy.

Unless, and unless, she's a true Christian who has surrendered to Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior.

PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBOUR IF YOU SINGLE 🤗

“I met my husband in my compound. He’s actually my neighbor 😂. I’m downstairs and he’s upstairs so I’m aware of literally anything he does, whether he’s playing music, going out or opening his windows.

I moved to the compound August 4th and we had a conversation few days later introducing ourselves.
One day I saw him with one babe like that, I said “this my neighbor fine o” but I never told him and I didn’t like him initially. He also didn’t like me because he said I was always raising my shoulder up 😂😂😂

One day when I was ill, he was the only person who came to check on me. He stayed in my house till 2am taking care of me. We became good friends.

Fast forward to October, he asked me to be his girlfriend. In February, he asked me to be his wife. March was my introduction. In May, they paid my bride price and in June, we’re getting married. ❤️”

Not all relationships are worth fighting for. While I often charge couples to give their all to their relationships, it is good we know when to fight to a standstill and when to walk away.

A relationship is worth fighting for if the following ingredients or values are evidently present:

1. Mutual respect: You and your partner respect each other's boundaries and feelings.

2. Effective communication: You're able to communicate openly and honestly with each other.

3. Willingness to grow: You both are willing to work through challenges and grow together.

4. Love and affection: You still feel a strong emotional connection with each other.

Walk away if you notice the following in your relationship:

1. Toxic behavior: Your partner's behavior is toxic, abusive, or consistently hurtful.

2. Lack of effort: One or both partners are not making an effort to work through challenges or improve the relationship.

3. Different values: You and your partner have fundamentally different values or goals that can't be reconciled.

4. Emotional exhaustion: You feel emotionally drained or exhausted from trying to make the relationship work.
Sincerely ask yourself these questions even before taking any decision:

1. What's my non-negotiable?: What are my deal-breakers in a relationship?

2. Am I happy?: Do I feel happy and fulfilled in my relationship?

3. Is it worth fighting for?: Is the relationship worth fighting for, or is it time to move on?

Do not let anyone presure you into taking decisions about your relationship. Your inner peace should guide you not societal demands.

Together we can make the world a better place.

Obviously, alot of singles are dissatisfied with their present relationship but are just hanging on for fear of the unknown. If you think and are sure you deserve much more than your present relationship, I advise you to waste no time in taking decisive actions.

Here's how you will know you deserve more than your present partner:

1. Lack of emotional support: Your partner doesn't provide emotional support or validation.

2. Unfulfilled needs: Your physical, emotional, or intellectual needs are consistently unmet.

3. Disrespect and disregard: Your partner disrespects or disregards your feelings, boundaries, or values.

4. Stagnant growth: Your relationship has stagnated, and you're not growing together.

5. Feeling unappreciated: You feel unappreciated, unheard, or unseen in your relationship.

If you find yourself in this situation, here decisive actions to take:

1. Reflect on your values: Identify your non-negotiables and what you want in a relationship.

2. Communicate with your partner: Have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your feelings.

3. Seek support: Talk to reasonable friends, family, or a therapist about your concerns.

4. Explore your options: Consider counselling, separation, or ending the relationship.

The worst thing you can do to yourself is being in a relationship that does not give you a sense of fulfilment. You obviously have the power to change this ugly narrative because your happiness is right in your hands.

Together we can make the world a better place.

Nothing kills a marriage as fast as backing down on romance and playfulness as done during your early days of marriage. You flirt with each other back in the days but this is no longer the case.

You just need to reinvent those honeymoon experiences in your marriage. Yes, there should be no end to flirting with your spouse. An end to this is a call for marital crisis.

Why is ongoing romance and playfulness so important?

1. Keeps the spark alive: Romance and playfulness help keep the excitement and passion alive in your relationship.

2. Strengthens emotional connection: Sharing playful and romantic moments with your spouse strengthens your emotional bond and deepens your connection.

3. Reduces stress and tension: Laughter and playfulness can help reduce stress and tension in your relationship, creating a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

4. Creates lasting memories: Ongoing romance and playfulness create lasting memories and shared experiences that can bring joy and happiness to your relationship for years to come.

So, how can you keep the romance and playfulness alive in your relationship?

1. Schedule regular date nights: Set aside time for just the two of you to reconnect and have fun.

2. Surprise each other with small gestures: Leave love notes, surprise each other with small gifts, or plan surprise getaways.

3. Try new things together: Engage in new hobbies, try new restaurants, or take a cooking class together.

4. Laugh together: Watch comedies, play games, or just have a silly conversation to bring laughter and joy into your relationship.

*Remember, romance and playfulness are not just for the honeymoon phase!*

Marriage needs to be maintained just like vehicles and things like continously flirting are the lubricants required for maintenance of marriage. I tell single not to start what they cannot finish. No do pass yourself during honeymoon abeg.

Together we can make the world a better place.
