youngsahito: Physical intimacy is one of the things that keeps a relationship feeling close. But for many couples, it slowly fades, and it can be confusing or even frustrating. There are some common reasons why this happens.
1. Stress and Busy Lives
Life gets hectic. Work deadlines, school, kids, or family responsibilities can leave both partners drained. When you’re tired or stressed all the time, it’s hard to feel like being close or intimate...
2. Lack of Communication
If you don’t talk about your feelings or what you want, misunderstandings build up. Sometimes one partner feels rejected or unnoticed, and neither says anything. Over time, this can make being physically close feel uncomfortable.
3. Emotional Distance
Being intimate isn’t just about touch—it’s about feeling connected. If you’ve been drifting apart emotionally, cuddling or kissing can start to feel forced or empty. Feeling emotionally close often brings back physical closeness too.
4. Health and Energy
Illness, hormonal changes, or even some medications can lower desire. Things like depression, diabetes, or high blood pressure can make it harder to feel in the mood, even if love is still there.
5. Routine and Boredom
Doing the same things over and over, both in life and in the bedroom, can make intimacy feel boring. When things feel predictable, the excitement that fuels closeness can fade.
6. Lingering Conflicts
Old fights, resentment, or hurt feelings don’t just stay in your head—they affect the bedroom too. If you feel hurt or ignored, being physically close can feel unsafe or unwelcome.
The good news is, intimacy can come back. It starts with small steps: talking openly, showing affection, and spending time together. Simple things like holding hands, hugging, or sharing a compliment can slowly rebuild that closeness.
Remember, it’s normal for intimacy to dip sometimes. What matters is noticing it and caring enough to try again
Financial issues, to me, is number one killer of physical intimacy.
JoeEeL: Before the "born again" concept became a thing, how did our forefathers stay in marriage?
Christianity has a very big role to play in every area of our lives. It makes life better. It brings peace and meekness to one and if one has peace within him or her, it will make one a good human.
We can't over emphasize that.
To answer your question, I guess your question implied how our fathers sustained their marriages before Christianity came. The traditional religions people practiced then also preached fear of God from which comes tolerance, honesty, faithfulness to marriage vow, respect for one another etc. Apart from that, these were the days people married based on recommendations. These recommendations were also based on those qualities mentioned above.
ebubeson: The rate of complain in marriage is much. If you have a beautiful and successful marriage, kindly tell us how to make marriage a beautiful thing.
1. Open communication:
This is where matters are discussed without bias, without pointing fingers, without reference to past misdeeds, except you bring up your own misdeeds/mistakes first before hers/his, if it is absolutely necessary.
2. Don't attempt to change your partner if there is no danger or loss involved:
No two persons think the same way all the times. Make room for differences
3. Forgiveness is a must:
There must be offences but forgive. Nobody is perfect, even you.
4. Emphaty is key:
When you ask for sex, and your spouse says no, for example, she is not doing that out of trying to get at you or trying to deny you. Always put yourself in the shoe of the other person. Nobody likes being woken up in the middle of the night when the sleep is deep.
5. Fear of God:
This is the foundation for other secrets and if your spouse is not born again, this would be hard. Fear of God makes one to be submissive, cooperative, understanding, faithful, honest, transparent and helpful.
What made Obama to rise to the presidency is not just his oratory, but his knowledge of the American economy, his knowledge of building bridges and his knowledge of the diversity of the American society.
But here, if Obi is trying to build bridges, they will call him birds of the same feathers. If he's trying to bring out facts and figures, they will say "na statistics we go shop", playing down on his depth of knowledge. It seems we cherish mediocrity in this country.
Nothing on earth would make me allow my children to live with other people as long as I am alive.
The hàtrèd I have for pastors is out of this world.
Not all pastors are evil. It is a sweeping generalization to say all pastors are evil. This can never be true. Having hatred for a fellow human being like us is also a bad reflection on us. Most of the times, it is what is in us will hate most in others.

Companies have some quantities of their products they allow employees to eat/drink/chew depending on the company's products. It's highly regulated. Some specific quantity is given every month to employees based on individual staff grade as sampling while some can be taken within premises, called drinking/eating chewing bay, not indiscriminate eating/drinking/chewing in undesignated places etc

Vice President Kashim Shettima has stirred fresh political debate after declaring that Nigeria’s presidency cannot be attained through coercion, while also suggesting that there are more qualified leaders from the South-East than Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Speaking on the country’s political climate, Shettima stressed the importance of inclusivity and consensus-building in a diverse nation like Nigeria. According to him, leadership must be built on trust and broad national acceptance rather than pressure tactics.
“In a multi-ethnic, multi-religious politics like ours, nobody can bulldoze his way to power through deceit, intimidation, threats or blackmail,” he said. “You get to power by building bridges and reaching out.”
The Vice President, however, expressed support for the emergence of a president from the South-East, describing it as a potential step toward healing longstanding historical divisions dating back to the civil war.
“I am for the emergence of a Nigerian president of South-Eastern extraction to heal the wounds of the civil war,” Shettima noted, though he criticized what he described as certain confrontational approaches adopted by some political actors from the region.
His remarks took a more direct turn when he asserted that the South-East has individuals he considers more qualified for the presidency than Obi, referring to the former Anambra State governor in pointed terms.
Shettima highlighted former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as one such figure, praising his national reach and political experience across different regions of the country. He also commended former Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi for his infrastructural record, describing him as one of the most effective leaders to have emerged from the South-East.
Drawing from Nigeria’s political history, the Vice President emphasized the role of grassroots mobilization and alliances in achieving electoral success. He referenced the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s strategy of building nationwide support networks, underscoring that political victories are often determined by coalition-building rather than regional popularity.
Shettima’s comments are expected to generate reactions across the political spectrum, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, who remains a prominent opposition figure with strong backing among young voters and urban populations.
Political observers say the statement may also signal early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, as conversations around power rotation and regional representation continue to shape Nigeria’s political discourse.
As debates intensify, Shettima’s remarks have once again brought to the fore the complex dynamics of leadership, regional equity, and political strategy in Africa’s most populous nation.
kullozone: It's true, she didn't force anyone. Those who contributed should be ashamed of themselves... They're a big part of the problem in Nigeria because they lack basic reasoning.
Are you being ironical or you are serious with what you are saying?
SarcasticWords: A sad but truthful nature of women perfectly explained.
To the married man reading this, yes, your fear and worry isnt just paranoia.
That lovely wife of yours will cheat the moment the perfect opportunity presents itself. (That is if she hasnt already cheated 😉)
And for those of you whose wives own toys, she has cheated on you mentally, because whenever she makes use of those toys, she imagines someone (Definitely not you) going into her. Very soon the cheating will manifest itself physically.
Kpele!
How did you come about this negative conclusion about the women folks? There are good women in the world. All you need to see a good one, is to be a good man yourself. Change your mindset, embrace God and you will meet a Godly woman, a wife material.

Stephen0mozzy: Try to date a nurse that's just newly started how to cannulate. She go chook the veins and they'll be shy and hide 😅
Just kidding sha, but I think it's normal for guys - I have on mine too, though I dey do small morning backyard gym, and my hands nor even grab like yours
It seems you use your hands often to lift heavy objects or you exercise the hands often. It is common among people that use their hands.
Prophit: I recently started talking to a fine young lady. She should be 28 yrs tops.
I didn't know her dating history cos I moved into the area like last year.
We just started talking this year, she manages a bet 9ja shop. I normally withdraw using the pos near her bet shop, and that was how we met and started talking.
There is a laundry guy in that area, I seldom patronize him, but the guy is chill. We greet and have discussions here and there whenever we cross paths. He doesn't mind that I rarely patronize him.
This guy's sister is about 21, in the university. She likes me a whole lot, but I have a policy not to date students (it's a long story. Don't ask me why)
He knows that his sister likes me and he knows I'm not giving her a chance. In fact one day he joked about it. And probably that's why he respects me a great deal.
So B4 we dive into the gist for today, let's call d guy Oba, let's call the bet naija manager Ego. Let's call Oba's Sister Anita.
I was standing with Ego today just gisting.
(I honestly like her, she is pretty, but I can't date her. I can't date a lady who is not on a trajectory to the top. No offence, but being a worker in all these bet shops affects the mindset. I think people that work there need to be rehabilitated. Both male and female. Again no offence)
So Oba passed by, as usual we shook hands and talked a bit, then he passed.
I noticed the weird energy between Oba and Ego.
It was visible to the blind that these guys shared a past.
"Seems like there is a story you'd like to share" I said "What story?" She retorted.
"Is he your ex?" I went straight for the jugular.
She stood silent for a bit. She tried to force a smile. "There isn't any story please." She said finally.
I didn't press further.
Just then someone called her into the bet shop to settle and issue or whatever that was.
So I turned to the pos lady who is her friend. It's like the lady was waiting for the opportunity to spill the tea.
She didn't even wait for me to ask.
"Men are wicked o. God forbid. To see better man na by connection." Said the pos lady.
(I forgot to give the pos lady her alte. So let's call her Agatha. I chose the name because she has a wide mouth, and which name do you have to say with your mouth open wide?)
So Agatha started talking.
"They used to date o. For like 2 years. Before they started dating, the guy was jobless. Ego used her money to open that laundry shop for him, spent so much money on him for 2 years, then one day he beat her up and broke up with her."
Now anyone with even a brain functioning below 2 percent will know that the story isn't complete. Agatha obviously skipped a lot of details to just present Oba as the devil.
And don't get it twisted I'm not saying he isn't the devil either. I'm just saying I don't have enough information from that gist to know who the villain was or is.
First, nobody beats up a woman for nothing. Second, nobody beats up a woman who is his girlfriend for nothing. Third, nobody beats up a woman who is his girlfriend, who opened a laundry shop for him, for nothing.
Agatha kept talking.
How Ego is still traumatised and hurt and broken, and devastated, and dejected, and...
She kept going.
I told Agatha to stop.
"I really sympathize with Ego, but I don't want to have this discussion with you or with her. Relationships fail all the time."
"Guys send ladies to school and the ladies end up marrying other people. Life goes on."
"Guys open businesses for ladies and the ladies still leave them. Even marriages break up. It just the way of life."
"I have been engaged to a lady. 2 weeks before our indoor marriage rites, after I had bought everything, she called it quits. I never laid my hands on her, never cheated on her. But that doesn't make her the bad guy."
Relationships are a bit more nuanced than many people believe.
That is why the best thing you can do for yourself as an individual is to invest in yourself.
Maybe you can invest in your spouse, but you see boyfriend and girlfriend, invest at your own risk.
As for Anita, I just got a couple more reasons to distance myself from her. Imagine having an elder brother who beats people up. For her, violence will just be a normal thing. I pity her boyfriend.
As for Ego, if I had even the faintest of feelings for her, such feelings died when I heard that story.
I can't be with another man's garbage. I too, deserve someone who hasn't been victimized and vandalized.
Imagine the distrust she will have for her next boyfriend or husband. No body deserves such level of damage done to them.
Don't let the story you heard about someone's past determines your decision about marrying such a person. Who doesn't have a dirty past among all of us? If God should judge us based on our past, then no one will make it to heaven.
Please, have a mind of your own. Give everyone and you yourself a second chance at success.
Irritating! Disgusting! Nauseating! Shocking! The demons of the "region of the Gadarenes" are still tormenting man today, beware! Run to Christ NOW! Time is running out.
If this kind of information shouldn't be allowed here, then all the information on the internet should not be allowed, because nothing on the list you cannot see on the internet. Some people just like to criticize even though there is no basis for criticisms.
WORD FOR TODAY Every man reaches a point where his strength is not enough. That moment is not meant to destroy him, but to draw him closer to God! **************************************** Scriptural Reference "And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you… that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD." — Deuteronomy 8:2–3 (NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A man must never feel as if he is self-sufficient. No matter how much he has achieved, how far he has gone, or how strong he appears, he must always recognise his need for God. The moment a man begins to think he can live without God, life itself will remind him otherwise.
God, in His mercy, allows seasons that humble us. Not to shame us, but to bring us closer to Him. Sometimes the humbling point comes through lack; lack of what we obviously need and sincerely desire. A person may have success but lack peace. Another may have wealth but lack health. Some may have influence but lack a family, children, or fulfillment. These moments expose the limits of human strength and reveal the necessity of God.
The Israelites experienced this in the wilderness. God allowed them to hunger and then fed them with manna so they would understand that life is not sustained by human provision alone, but by every word that proceeds from Him. The wilderness was not only a journey; it was a lesson in dependence.
Apostle Paul also understood the humbling point of life. Though God used him to perform miracles and heal others, he still carried his own weakness. That limitation reminded him continually that grace, not ability, sustains a man. His strength in ministry did not remove his need for God; it increased it.
When life brings you to a point where you realize you cannot do without God, do not become bitter. Draw closer. Those moments are invitations, not punishments. They remind you that with God, you have enough, and without Him, nothing is secure. The humbling point is where pride dies and dependence grows. And in dependence, God reveals His power.
Questions for Meditation In what area of my life is God teaching me dependence? Have I allowed success to make me feel self-sufficient? How can I draw closer to God in my present situation?
Lord, keep my heart humble before You. In every season, remind me that I need You. When life brings me to my limits, help me to draw closer to You and trust in Your grace. Let my weakness become a place where Your strength is revealed. Amen.
Main Emphasis: God allows humbling moments to draw us closer to Him. Dependence on God is the strength of a man.
May God keep your heart humble, sustain you in every season, and reveal His strength in every area of your weakness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Rep9jaCom: A lady has shared an emotional story about love, faith, and heartbreak after a 21-day church fast ended in an unexpected way for her, Rep9ja reports.
The story, which has been circulating widely on social media, tells how she believed a man she admired deeply would eventually become her husband.
According to her, everything seemed to point in that direction until the final day of the fast brought a shocking twist.
How The Fast Began:
She explained that her pastor announced a 21-day fast focused on seeking clarity in relationships. At the time, she already had someone in mind.
The man, she said, was kind, intentional, and spiritually grounded. They often prayed together, served in church together, and spoke frequently about purpose and faith.
Because of that connection, she decided to add a personal prayer request during the fast. “Lord, if he is my husband, confirm it clearly.”
She kept the prayer private, except for one person — her prayer partner, whom she referred to as Grace.
Prayers Shared With a Close Friend:
Throughout the fast, the two women prayed together every evening. They held hands, prayed for their futures, and encouraged each other during the 21-day spiritual exercise.
At one point, she admitted to Grace that she believed the man might be the one meant for her. “I think he might be the one.”
I'm a Christian. I don't believe my desire is different from God's will. I may not necessarily pray or fast to find out. If you love someone as a lady, tell him if the two of you could explore the possibility of getting married. It's exploration, not a must for him to accept.
