CAUTION! WHY THE RACE TO MARRY?

-

Hello friends,

One of the greatest experiences a person could gain in this world is one that comes from the relationship of having a HOME - a FAMILY!

One of the greatest failings in gleaning this great experience is seeing it as a destination and not a journey.

A family is not an achievement!
It is not a result!
A symbol of hierarchy or status!
It is not a possession!
A product or reward of years of work or turmoil!

Thinking it is the above is one of the underlying factors for a lot of marital failures.

Do NOT get married because:
  • Your friends are getting married
  • You are of age.
  • You have acquired "sufficient" wealth for it.
  • You deserve it.

In this part of the world, students are used to the process of a result from an examination after a term of schooling.
Or for workers, the process of a wage after a month or period of work.

Marriage should not be seen in this light.

Bone of my bones!
Flesh of my flesh!
My very soul-mate!
The one that completes me!
The one person who makes this world sane for me!
The one I can die for.

If your perception of marriage and indeed your partner is high, you will treasure it and experience bliss!
If the person you marry occupies the place of honour in your heart, you will find no ransom or sacrifice to be too outrageous!





Only marry someone who is:
  • Value-able to you
  • Worth Sacrificing anything for
  • Worth respecting
  • Worth protecting / defending
  • Compatible with your personality
Only marry someone who:
  • Inspires you
  • Encourages you
  • Honours you
  • Loves you
  • Cheers you-on
  • Cherishes you
  • Appreciates you
  • Attracts you
Marriage is about unity!
Marriage cannot / should not be managed!
Marriage is forever!

DO NOT BE IN A HURRY TO SIGN AWAY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ON A FLEETING THING AS CHEMISTRY (FEELINGS) OR VAIN BENEFITS!

Only marry your SOUL-MATE!
You best be sure he/she is the one before you say I do!

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-salt o

1. It's natural: If you as a man are the stronger vessel, it is natural that you should shoulder more responsibility so that the weaker vessel won't crumble under the weight. It's almost like you were built for it. 2. It's a bonding opportunity: When you undertake domestic chores at home, your children see it and are motivated to help out thus ensuring some amazing family bonding time. 3.  It's romantic: There isn't a woman alive who will not get under immense romantic pressure when her man takes or shoulders her stress away. Gratitude is a nice feeling that often builds up to a nice night! 4.  It truly helps the woman: When she gets the much needed time to rest, she can finally look as beautiful as you met her. You truly can't expect her to look trim and sexy when she's always stressed out as a result of too much chores. 5.  It's unifying: Sharing in simple tasks like bathing the children, doing the d
