Trampled Roses

I am very disturbed. I read a post on relationship and marriage, the poster was dishing advice on how
couples can love each other and continue to be in love. The comments and replies is what disturb me.
People were asking questions and the answers I sincerely do not agree to.
Listen, fight for your marriage only if it is voids of violence. Violence of all kind; battery, assault and
emotional deprivation.
No one should remain in a marriage because you want to remain married and be destroyed.
Do you know when a married man or woman sleeps with other partners other than their spouse and
the advice given is for them to continue to live with each other and pray that the spirit of God changes
such person, we are indirectly digging graves for these individuals.
Anyone can afflict the other with a sexual transmitted disease and it can even be a terminal one. These
couple will not find joy in themselves and will begin to resent each other, bitterness and unforgiveness
will set in. where is the place of prayers to be answered here? This couple can only grow to love each
other if there is a sincere change in attitude.
Do not get me wrong, God answers prayers and prayers changes things. A broken and a contrite heart
God will not despise but should we continue to live in sin and say the grace of God abounds? 
A man keeps beating his wife using her as his punching bag and all you can use to console her is to
tell her God hates divorce and should return to her husband. Let me tell you the advisor what you
have done, you have connived with her husband to send her to an early grave.
She ran to you to shield her yet you drove her back to the lion’s den, listen Mr. Advisor her creator
will never forgive you. What is there in advising her to be separated from her husband for a while? Is
marriage truly about suffering and smiling?
Oyes! Life is not a bed of roses because roses come with thorn but it doesn’t mean all our life
experiences must be filled with displeasured moments. Roses are beautiful, colourful, and attractive
and marriages should have the fragrance.
A man brings his girlfriend to his matrimonial home, to his matrimonial bed and his wife watches.
This is total disrespect to the sanctity of marriage, this is a no no…you can’t continue like this and
expect your wife to keep loving you, you can’t continue to disrespect her person and you expect peace
to rain in your house. I mean who expects that?
You can only fight for what is ready to be fought. Do not drain yourself because you want to be
married. Joy comes from God but we are the ones to create our happiness, do not let your life be
ruined especially if you have kids.
If you develop high blood pressure which may lead to your early death who takes care of your kids?
All you have worked for becomes someone else’s, the home you so much do not want to lose has
been lost and another lives there.
It is time we begin to know what we want. Remember the Holy Spirit does not live in a house full of
strive, He does not dwell where unhappiness and ingratitude is the order of the day. Would you allow
your happiness to be trampled upon?

Guiding Territories

I understand that when a man cheats it is not always about the fact that his partner is doing something wrong. It is about the fact that it is in his nature to cheat, he has assumed society story that it is a man’s world and he is entitled to more than one woman. It is however amazing that women has so far helped to foster this narrative that most men are trained with the notion that they cannot be committed to a woman. In other to keep their men some women result to violence by tracing the women who has taken their men away and disfiguring their bodies.   Wives tend to pour their frustration on the women whom they think is taking their husbands away from them, forgetting that their husband is as guilty as the mistress. The society should frown at the man who disrespected his wedding vows and made mockery of his matrimonial home.  Everyone protects their territory. It is only a foolish person that sits; arms folded and allow the enemy takes his household into captive.

The state of my state

So I have been thinking, if a child offends his father in the house, does the father in the bid to correct his child calls his neighbour to report the bad deed of the child and begs the neighbour to help him spank the child? This is what I know, as a mother, when my baby is wrong, I talk to her calmly, lovely, I tell her how angry I am and I hope she doesn’t repeat it again. Of course, my girl constantly wants my approval so she will promise not be do it again. Other times, she does something wrong and I do not wait to talk to her sweetly. I will give her “abara” (spank), yes I am an African in the sense that I understand that this is my girl’s formative years and there are things that must be driven thoroughly into her. My girl is just 2 years 6months but there are times I have had apologised to her for judging her wrongly and I have scolded myself for being tough on her, other times I think I love her so sweetly that am scared she may get spoilt but I am quick to tell mysel

Abandoned yet rewarded

I am still awe at the manner people hide under the cover of culture and religion. It is wrong to cheat and still pretend to be someone full of values. The societies do not believe it is appropriate to castigate one who is wrong if he holds a certain title in his neighbourhood or somewhat a respected individual as he is viewed. This married man got a single lady pregnant, while the folks of the lady discovered she was pregnant, she was interrogated and it was later revealed that this man was responsible. The family of the lady made sure he got a house for the lady and took responsibilities of the other bills. After some months the lady put to bed and on the 8th day of the child’s birth, he killed a ram to perform the rituals of her naming. However, this man has been in a marriage where his wife has been unable to conceive, efforts made that he should marry this lady as second wife as it is tradition and religion to him proved abortive. He made several excuses of how he doesn’
