Help Mate Or Dependant




The holy book made us understand that a wife is supposed to be her husband's help mate and not 100% dependant  on him for everything...that is to say where he is lacking you're to fill in as a wife. Its shocking to see women of this generation totally dependant on their husband not having any means of additional income, when hubby is broke the entire family is broke which in my opinion is totally wrong.

You need to hear married women complain of not having a phone to call or  having airtime to make calls and all...these are little things that you can take care of without  your man's help. A super woman in my opinion has her own thing going on for her, even if the husband provides for the family she helps out by surprising  the husband and children to treats once in a while, and doesn't depend on him for everything.. (down to toiletries and undis). I'm not saying it's wrong for a man to take responsibility of his home, but maybe a little help would be welcome.

Have you ever thought that maybe if you had a job, that vacation you have fantasized about for years would have been possible or that beautiful shoe, bag, and dress you saw at the mall would have been yours without saving for months from the money you  are given for family upkeep? My point here is get a job, start a small business, invest in that passion of yours, learn a skill.

YES! I know there are men who are capable of providing abundantly for their families, but in this world we live in it is better to be secured (doing your thing). Think of this you were dependant on your parents all through childhood, teen and a good part of adulthood, and now in marriage you still want to be dependant on your husband? Come on! What morals on independent and  hard work will you pass to your children.

3 Types of Couples

Image
If you're not in a relationship or married yet at least you know someone who is. Behind every relationship is a unique sweet story or a unique bitter story. So, I came to the realisation that there are three major types of couples. I know you're wondering what I'm talking about right now but here it is. 1) The   mismatched   couple These couple are the definition of romance and love. They make you want to question why you're with your your partner at first sight. When you're with one half all you get to hear is what the other half said, did and even when they are just a yard away from each other their phones keep buzzing because it's like one half can't survive without the other.  When they finally take a vow before family and friends to stay glued to each other forever..Boom! 1-3 months down the path of marriage things get sour, then comes the bitter discovery that they were not in any way compatible; they begin to see a thousand thing wrong

How the Smartphone is Gradually Ruining your Relationship

One device that is a most have in our time is the mobile phone. Gone are the days when people flaunt the flip phones or phones with analog antennas. In recent times, people’s preferences have shifted to the Samsung and Iphones due to the  class associated with them.   Two of the trendiest of these devices right now is the Galaxy S21Pro and Apple Iphone 12 Pro Max.

Sixteen Round

Image
I read 'Sixteenth Round' by Robin 'Hurricane' Carter (true story) in the book 'hate, injustice caused Mr. Hurricane 20 years of his life (spent behind bars as a prisoner because he was framed up for murders he did not commit) but, he was saved by the friendship of a young boy.  It made me realize that in life there are no coincidence, everything was designed to work according to the laws of nature. Following the story, and how he was mistreated, it would have been expected of him to be bitter, filled with hate and revenge, and looked down on the young boy by underestimating his friendship, (after several appeals to his case was negated) but he didn't  and that friendship bought him his freedom.  My point in the opening story is that whatever situation you are in, whatever you are going through don’t give up, do not underestimate the strength of anyone, do not throw away the little help that could be your key to freedom.

Tips: Effective Ways to Improve Communication in Relationship

Image
.               Image credit: Shutterstock As humans our need for communication is very high. The level of communication between a man and a woman either make or break the relationship. I realized the reason why communication is still a major problem in relationship is because couples think they hear themselves speak, but actually don’t listen, that is why even with hundreds of thousands books and audios on communication it is still a major problem in relationships. Communication between couples should be easy; it is wrong to get tensed anytime you wish to bring something that bothers you to the notice of your partner. Your conversation should flow natural and be a way you connect with yourselves. But to achieve this you’d need to work on yourself especially if you have a partner who is difficult to communicate with. Tone is Important One key element of communication is tone; it is the foundation where the message is laid on. Your tone conveys meaning more than you can imag
