lorretta u:
You sha follow for my 2013 testimonies
*great new friend*

lorretta u: I never truly got the hang of that word "companionship" until now.
I had a bout of cold/allergies some nights ago. One night I couldn't sleep from sneezing and coughing. Hubby stayed up all night to be with me. And we fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. I'd have done same for him. And the next when my dad called to know how we were doing, he said "we were sick thru the night"
That's the goodness of being together

There are plenty perks to being married
E.g sex without guilt (covers face)
Having someone who's with you all along the way and you both can share problems. Nothing like 'his problem' it's now 'our problem'
No more 'his money' now 'our money'

Being together is a good thing.

Lerrie John: I wish I could say marriage is sweet, or marriage is bitter, or marriage is forever, or marriage will lead to divorce, or marriage means you and your partner will always love each other, never fight, never cheat, never flirt. Or that you guys will be able to always complete each other's sentences, read each other's thoughts, be always supportive of the other, or be forever sexually attractive and never boring.
Unfortunately/ fortunately ( depends on how you look at it. Either as a glass halfway full or as a glass halfway empty) marriage isn't either one of these things.
Marriage is a complex combination of all these things. And the ability to make it work depends on ones maturity plus other varying factors that we all know very well.
If siblings born of the same parents can't stand each other all the time, imagine how it is for two individuals who have no blood tie to live together.
Sometimes in marriage you feel so happy, you are in heaven. Other times you almost hate your partner as intensely as you love them. Other times you feel comfortable, I'm getting used to it, lemme use this or that approach, it will be well. And when you begin to relax, thinking you have known it all, you and your partner love and understand each other perfectly, another temptation pops in to try your foundations and you start learning all over again.
Yes marriage is beautiful. It's full of never ending experiences happy and sad; difficult experiences that will make you question your very self. But at the same time, magical moments that words can't describe enough. It's not limited to you and your partner, it includes your kids as well.
Different individuals with different identities but with one common goal, THE FAMILY and united with one common sentiment, LOVE.
That's the way marriage is supposed to be. But when these difficulties become life threatening and aren't bound by love anymore the best option is to go apart.
So what makes marriage work for me? My answer is ME. I make my marriage the way I desire it to be. Loving and respecting my family and putting their needs as a priority cos my family is me and I am them.

Missmossy:
Thanks for sharing,really learnt a lot.
@ Lorreta i say congrats,its so lovely opening a thread like this. Though still young,will learn from you all. Once again congrats,wish you the very best!

bukatyne: So happy for you

It shall be permanent with lovely kids

jasmines: Reading this thread makes me want to cry. Marriage scares the living daylight out of me. Relationships that involves my heart don't live long but I have dated for over four years someone I don't love, I just like. I pity him cause his love for me is soo evident but I don't love him. He wants to settle down and I dragged it for a while. Later decided to leave and relocate cause he deserves someone who will love him. It wasn't easy, I had to avoid him, his calls pleas etc. Before you crucify me, I have told him I don't love him but he feels I will love him with time. Its good to know true love and happiness exists somewhere. I know I will find mine with time.
Happy married life Loretta. May family breakers never near your domot in Jesus name.

lorretta u: @the ladies,have you always wondered what you do to curb the teeming number of wooers?

Really there isn't a solution to that problem as long as one is single.the men will always try to woo you. I used to have a lot of problem finding the patience to deal with all of them. But guess what? It's solved now.

I was at a supermarket to buy few things the other day,a guy just walked up to me and said
"Hello pretty girl" I smiled and 'innocently' raised my left land to put my hair in order.
The next thing I heard was "oh sorry madam"
Guess what he saw?
Yea right.

mgbeketoto:
I pray you not live to regret this o!
If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you are with!

I pray you find the one you love and hope you don't regret leaving the one who loves you.

jasmines:

You are right o! but I don't feel anything when we are together instead I remember the one who jilted moi, that happiness of just seeing the one you love is one of the things which help marriages stand the test of time.
What about when he gets tired of me not loving him up to expectations, or he meets someone who loves him / I meet someone I love?

kofsy: Loretta dear, I sent you a pm. Pls respond. Need to discuss some stuff with you.
