Intermittently, I read books on relationships and marriage. I’d like to share with you some lessons I picked from Gary Chapman’s book “Things I wish I knew before I got married.” Toilets are not self cleaning I’m not just marrying only my spouse but i’m marrying into a family There’s a need to plan for our money The love experience is not an adequate foundation for marriage Apologizing is a sign of strength Mutual sexual satisfaction doesn’t just happen. Spirituality is not about going to church Personality profoundly influences behavior The saying “Like mother like daughter and like father like son” are not myths It’s possible to solve disagreements without arguing Romantic love has two stages; Tingly feeling and Intentional Feeling. Couples must be willing to build the intentional feeling stage if they want a lasting relationship. There you have it! What do you think? Source:www.crodamilo. 3 Likes |

Unfortunately if the author of the aforementioned book were to be given d whole seas n oceans worldwide as ink as well as all trees as pen..he would never exhaust the trials n tribulations of matrimony.Everyone has a different question paper in life,People will always fail coz they want to copy others,forgetting the facts that d questions papers differ. 5 Likes |

The failure in marriage today is simply because lots of principles that our parents held dear like their lives depended on it are now been thrown out the window because we think it's outdated. 1 Like |

zeemoore: loool. I said I'm a christian. I didn't say I was God. How can I know that? The underlying message behind your question comes across like you don't believe anyone can be totally faithful. Yes? |
