Marriage, friendship, parenting and living at peace with others.
You can’t entertain your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend and claim to be neutral and only act humanely. Entertaining means you still love them. Entertaining means you are not fully committed to your current spouse. If you entertain you can’t be neutral!
If in your marriage you talk of my money and your money, it should be worrying. If in your marriage you can’t discuss money issues because you don’t want to be corrected you should worry. Love requires that be willing to give your life for your spouse. Therefore, money would be a very small matter if you can give life.
God hates haters. Scriptural records show that God acts ruthlessly against haters. Egyptians hated Israelites and God punished them painfully. Haman hated Mordechai and God caused him to forcefully celebrate Mordecai and die in his place.
Learn to forget offenses. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Do not report to your relatives everything that happens in your house, it will break your house. Your relatives will use your reports to break your house. Be considerate. Be tactful. Act intelligently towards marriage. Husbands, if you cant get it forget it!
If you are not married, don’t act married, act unmarried and enjoy that section of life. It is wrong, sinful, and eventually heartbreaking if the married act single, and the single act married. Acting married yet you are still dating is not a sign of deep love but deep confusion.
KISS is the principle to use. Daily we go to work. Daily we go to school. Daily we must be reminded that we are believers. Daily we must be reminded to relate well with one another. Daily we must be encouraged not to give up. The Bible says it has to be daily. Is daily devotion and worship too much?
It is within my personal space to decide who is my friend. Don’t force any friend on me. It is on this basis that forced marriages are abhorrent. They defile personal space.
A productive life provides for urgent needs. If you have resources to address urgent needs, it means you have savings. Regular expenses are budgeted for regularly. Urgent needs were unplanned and we have no time to waste except spend on them. Anyone who can spend on such urgent needs is a person who saves money for a rainy day. This is what productive people do!
There is a limit to what we put up within a toxic environment and relationship, or else we will suffer a mental breakdown. There is a limit to attempts we make to salvage a business, or else we will sink in trouble never to rise. There is a limit even after forgiveness. There is a limit!
