She got dear safe, no scratch nothing.

OK, so am sweating my pants like seriously, and it can't be because I let my wife drive herself unsupervised for the first time to work is it? After all what could possibly go wrong? Or could the car suddenly decide to act up today sensing something strange as well?

Yeah! I allow her drive but only with me at the passengers seat, and actually she isn't such a bad driver. and even though she has only been learning for a month now and with some occasional mistakes which all drivers make (yours truly excused), am still here on my couch fretting. Funny thing though, the idea to take the car to work this morning was mine, since I reasoned that I had to trust her with the family and castiel someday(that's my car am talking about), but drivers here in port-harcourt aren't exactly friendly on the road. Well I have decided to hold a prayer session throughout today until she returns home safe.

I guess my concern, which I would love to ask others is how soon is too soon to allow a leaner go on the express alone? Would appreciate comments and some personal experience from other ladies who remember what their first time was like could comment too!

Would give updates when she gets to work and when she returns home........ Pray with me Abeg .

A happy home is reflected on the society.

It wise to be prepared for the end and it never comes, than to be unprepared for it and it meets you unawares.

With every passing day, week, month and year, the end of both times and age draws near, why not then ground yourself in God's word and get prepared for by his coming.

I perceive that part of the problem is if there would be a rapture before the great tribulation, well my little understanding as a Christian says yes.

As for obadiah, am not here to judge if he is a false prophet or not, however for those who claim he is be reminded that even from the lips of false prophets, God will sound his warning about the end of time.

Lastly, an account that comes to mind easily would be the E issues of the wise and foolish virgins, let him who has ears hear and be prepared with extra oil in his lamp.


N. B: when God changes water to blood, even science will try to give logic to it, doesn't mean it's not an act of God.

ladyinvelvet: Op, nice post. Front page things. Some men (and women) need to hear this. Its not always about what they want. Love is a two-way street. I'm still one of the firm believers that Paul knew what he was saying about love when he wrote 1 Corinthians.it works wonders in relationships. Lol.

Am glad there are still women out there who hold true to the true virtues of love. Love is more than a two way street dear, it's retaliatory. Like I teach my people in church, there are really no nagging wife's , what we have are women who feel cheated out of love or in simple terms feel they are getting little or no love at all.

Shower a woman with real love ND affection, give her reason to believe she is the center of your world, only then would you see the true nature of a "loving wife". Am a living testimony...... I preach what I practise.

Fabulousuzo: Op 4get these your long list. What every Nigerian woman/lady understands is MONEY. Give her money the rest will fall in place.

That's is only because those are the type of women you meet. Am married, with two kids, and I can authoritatively tell you women want to be loved.

How this makes front page and other intelligent post doesn't still beats imagination.

Listen
To be truly heard is the longing of every human heart, and your wife is no exception. It sounds simple, but listening can
be harder than it seems with so many distractions around us and within us. Set aside some time every day to look into
your wife’s eyes and really listen to what she has to say. You may be surprised at what you hear.
2. Communicate
Don’t make her guess what you are thinking or feeling.
3. Sing Her Praises
Shamelessly brag about her good qualities and quietly pray about her bad ones. Her reputation is your reputation.

4. Pray For Her and With Her
Praying on your wife’s behalf not only enlists the help of the Almighty, but also puts her and her needs at the forefront of
your heart and mind, right where they belong. Praying alongside your wife will strengthen your relationship like nothing
else. Studies show that couples who regularly pray together stay together, enjoying a 1% divorce rate compared to the
usual rate of 50% or more.

5. Value Her Individuality
Your wife is wonderfully unique. Don’t compare her to your mom, or your ex-wife, or your old girlfriend. Your mom may
make the best efo riro in the world, but unfavorable comparisons won’t win you brownie points.
6. Put the Seat Down
Perpetually raised toilet seats are a pet peeve of wives everywhere. And while you’re at it, tidy up a bit. A little
consideration goes a long way
7. Throw Your Dirty Clothes in the wash basket
It’s likely just a few steps from wherever you are dropping them anyway. Make this a habit, and it will let your wife know
you don’t consider her your personal maid.
8. Turn Off the T.V.
Lay aside the video games, pocket the iPhone, and shut off the computer, as well. It is staggering how many hours we
waste gazing at some sort of screen instead of interacting with the real people in our lives. Consciously set limits on your
tube-time, whatever form it takes. Use the time saved to invest in your marriage: take a walk with your wife or play a
board game together instead.
9. Loose the aka gum every once in a while
We all have to keep an eye on our budget, but an occasional splurge can be well worth it. Seemingly frivolous things like
flowers, jewelry, and overpriced restaurants let her know that she is more valuable to you than a number in your bank
account.
10. Practice Servant-Leadership
All organizations have a hierarchy. It’s impossible to function without one, but being a leader isn’t the same as being a
dictator. The best role model is Jesus Christ, not Joseph Stalin. Jesus washed his disciples feet and then died on their
behalf. It’s a challenge to exercise authority while maintaining a spirit of humility, but that is what being a godly leader
entails.
11. Remember that Intimacy’s a Two-Way Street
Unfortunately, men are notoriously selfish in the bedroom, yet are dumbfounded when their wives are less than
enthusiastic in this arena. Make this area of your relationship as pleasurable for her as it is for you and it will pay huge
dividends. It may mean washing the dishes or helping with the kids, so that she has energy left at the end of the day. It
may mean cuddling and candlelight, so that she can relax and let the worries on her mind drift away. If you aren’t sure
where to begin, just ask her, and then listen.
12. Give Her Time to Herself
Everyone needs an occasional break to rest and recharge, and this is especially important for a wife who is at home all
day with young children. Yet it’s very easy to neglect this legitimate need unless you regularly and intentionally schedule
time for it.
13. Set Aside Couple Time
Soak in the tub together each evening or go on a date night once a week — whatever gets the two of you alone on a
regular basis.
14. Be Careful with Female Friendships
We all have friends and colleagues of the opposite sex, but tread cautiously. Not all affairs are physical ones. Honoring
your marriage vows means remaining faithful in thought and word as well as in deed
15. Use Good Hygiene
It is amazing how meticulous guys can be prior to marriage in their attempts to impress a girl, but once they walk down
the aisle, all bets are off. Clean up a little; I promise it won’t kill you.
16. Limit the Gross Stuff
Few women find burping and farting nearly as hilarious as the typical guy does. Good manners are always a win.
17. Be Patient
In whatever way this applies to you and your situation, apply it. ( 1 Corinthians 13:4 , Proverbs 14:29 )
18. Cherish Her Children
A mother’s bond to her children runs immeasurably deep. When you invest time or energy in them, you are investing in
her as well. Kindness to them counts as kindness to her.
19. Choose Her Over Hobbies and Buddies
Invariably there will come times in your relationship when you will be forced to choose between your wife and something
else that you enjoy. Always choose her.
20. Provide for Her Needs
This is so much more than just putting food on the table. It is all-encompassing. Whether it is physical needs, emotional
needs, spiritual needs, you name it — do your best to provide. Sometimes life’s circumstances hinder us in one area, but
we can compensate in another area. Often the effort is as important as the outcome. ( Galatians 6:2 )
21. Dial Down the Anger
Your caveman instincts are handy on the battlefield, but horrible for a happy home life. Every outburst or flare-up is a
relationship setback. To go forward, the first step is to stop going backwards. Learn to control your temper or it will
control you, your marriage, and every other aspect of your life. Just because your wife puts up with it and your co-
workers tolerate it, doesn’t make your short fuse an asset. Do whatever it takes to gain victory in this all-important
struggle that has haunted man since Cain slew Abel. ( Ecclesiastes 7:9 , Ephesians 4:31 )
22. Cut Out the Condescension
If you have been blessed with a quick wit, you can either be the life of the party or a pain in the neck depending on the
circumstances. Condescension is anger’s younger brother. It isn’t as loud or as dramatic, but it can be equally hurtful
and all the more so for its subtlety. Lay off the snide remarks, the sarcasm, and the belittling. Speak to your wife in the
same way that you would speak to a respected colleague. She is, after all, your partner in the most valuable investment
of your life — your family.(, (Ephesians 4:29 , Colossians 3:19 )
23. Actively Seek Your Wife’s Insights
Value her input and give it a preferential place in your decision-making process. ( Proverbs 19:20 ; 12:15 )
24. Learn to Forgive
Freely forgive your wife’s past, present, and future offenses. Forgiveness is at the heart of the gospel and at the heart of
every meaningful relationship. ( Ephesians 4:32 , Colossians 3:13 )
25. Verbally Express Your Love
There are lots of ways to show your love, but women still like to hear it spoken.
Obviously no list is comprehensive, and one size certainly doesn’t fit all, but hopefully this one will prompt you to compile a list of
your own, tailor-made for your own wife. For any women reading this blog, you may be interested to know that my wife has
published a similar list entitled 25 Ways to Show Respect to Your Husband . Check it out and let me know what you think.

So it's the first of December and am sure everyone knows it's that time of the year again, when parents start planning how to surprise their kids, or buy them awesome gifts including where to take them to. ( like we don't do these things all year round)

Well my wife and I seem to be having some difficulties seeing that we are in a new city and have limited options in the area of fun stuff, and we have actually bought more stuff online since we moved here than we have done in our entire lives.

I guess in the area of gifts for the kids, it's not much of a big issue seeing that my 3yr old daughter has been clamoring fora bicycle for the most part of the year (we live upstairs so I wonder where she would get to ride it) , as for my son, he seems to be so fascinated with chickens presently, am sure he wouldn't mind a lorry load for Xmas.

Anyways the big question isn't really about my kids, but my wife. See I have wanted to give her something special for quite sometime now, and her birthday was just in November and I also didn't get her anything, so I seem to be looking for ideas here. For those who will read my post, I will appreciate suggestions on some kind of gift or romantic gesture that sure would momentarily take her breath away( no planning to be a widower anytime soon, so temporal breadth loss is cool) . So please am expecting those ideas and thoughts, and probably I would give a little something to the best idea out there.

The 411 of fatherhood and the low down on being a swell husband
November 26th, 2013

Dear readers, we have blogs on everything from child care, healthy eating, to tips on how to look fabulous on the most special day of a girl’s life, down to her matching heels and clutch purse but not so much dedicated to men. And they are a great component in the existence of the world at large. They are simple in the sense that they don’t need twenty shoes and underwear to match their outfits that are every colour under the rainbow (that is apart from Wizkid and Flavour) but complex in that they need certain basic things to make them feel like the kings they are in order to give their best.
But I don’t want to dwell so much on what they need to get, but more on what they must give back to society. Giving back in certain roles like that of father, husband and provider… of a lot of very necessary services and things.
See, just being a father entails, the babies are loved, provided for and covered from the rain even in cases where the physical roof is leaking, but that isn’t just all. If it were just that, well the men would have it easy, but it’s all the roles that must be played and balanced expertly. It’s just like when roasting croaker at a point and kill joint, you don’t want it to burn or it will be tasteless, but if undercooked or not turned well on the coal, the flavor doesn’t sip in. read the rest @ http://pookieblog.com/?p=14#more-14

am must confess that am no arsenal fan, but really what excuse would the man putup this time!

his used the business development angle several times to cover his inadequacies as regards winning the epl, but doesn't even he consider that excuse over used!

his job is that of a coach, not a business manager, and even if he was a business manager, shouldn't there be some reward (trophy). to show his ingenuity as regards being a wonderful business manager!

the long and short if it is that he has failed and has no idea what to do with the team. even if he had ronaldo at his disposal I seriously doubt he wud win the league. afterall he had van persie there for years and nothing came out of it.

pendusky: so people like me that hav pension money paid from my salary, do i still need another investment? i rep #team26-30

Pension money is only but one sure way to secure you future. If you can set aside some amount of ur income as investment, fhat wouod not affect immediate family life or plans, yes go ahead and have an alternative. Afterall wat use is spending all now and seeking help or wallowing.in regrets latter.

Apologies accepted, does not deter my believes in making appropriate changes when the time comes!

ighoosagie: as far as i am concern u have not spoken anytin, i prefer u telling us what 2 do , rather than telling us wat not 2 do.

Not doing d wrong tin doesn't mean u av done d right tin.


if u re tellin us not 2 eat garri , i tink u should also tell us wat 2 eat, else we die of hunger.

I would think that wen u know wat not to do, then what to do certainly becomes clearer.....wat u just said, is short of being spoon fed.

I know how important it is to build a family using yhe family alter as a tool. it brings and fosters better relationship between the members of the household, not to eve mention GOds blessings we enjoy.

is this supposedly incentive for doing something right, or some plot for selfish interest.

when would we begin to get things right as a nation?
