RomanceRe: Why Is The Infidelty Of A Woman More Difficult For The Guys? by Theblessed(f): 1:11am On Jul 15, 2010
[b]As a Christian I do not support infidelity in any form or shape either from a man or woman because, it is not only morally and devastatingly wrong but also spiritually wrong in the eyes of God and you will answer for it, period.  I have no respect for any man or woman that cheat on a person they profess to love especially in a marriage, no!

But, the fact that men have trashed women with this wicked and selfish behaviour for so long and not only get away with it, but also think they have a right to do it, I suggest for those who could do it, do it and rub it in where it would devastate the guy so that he would realise you are a human being with a heart and can feel pain too!!! That way, men would not only get used to the idea but also handle us with care and respect.

Personally, I can not do such a thing irrespective of any thing rather, I'd kick his a-se.  By the time he's home his bags are all packed and ready on the door step waiting his collection - as I don't do stress.  But I pity my sisters who do as there's nothing a man could offer me in this life, I hadn't achieved myself so, why should I leak a-se and drown in self pity when I could replace him like a flash if that's a need?grin grin grin. I have not had such an experience in my marriage and would not sit here and vouch it would never happen to me but, if it does, we would test the litmus paper won't wehuh cool cool cool  

You see, you can not change people. You can only change children's behaviours but you can't physically change an ADULT!  However, you can change yourself, by changing your own attitudes and behaviours and become more assertive instead of drowning in self pity that way - the guy will change his ways.  Abi, you have your own money? Then treat yourself and HIT town he will eventually, realise his loss and that's the way to squeeze in a little change in a  naught boy. And when you go out there ensure you get a guy that is bigger than him in size and height and more handsome - then he'd get the message you don't do cheap.

In giving him a teaspoonful of his own bitter medicine, it would curtail some of those selfish behaviours but mind you, it won't cure the disease of a habitual adulterer because his, is entrenched therefore, drop the dead donkey and hit town before he causes you severe damage.

FamilyRe: Are Marriage Vows Difficult To Uphold? by Theblessed(f): 12:11am On Jul 12, 2010
bawomolo:
not to bust your bubble but the tale of Genesis is a Judaic one and not universally accepted.    To claim God's "manual" is the Christian one is myopic.
[b]You are correct not universally accepted but only by those who do not want the truth.  One day they'd be sorry they didn't.  You see, anyone can embrace which ever manual they choose.

Surely, whether you and others accepted him or not its' irrelevant however there's no escape, you will meet him on the judgement day - like it or not, you will.  At least, these two manuals embrace this belief there's going to be judgement on the last day.  So, there's no escape for the unbelievers! 

Therefore, I urge you to be ready to meet him with your 10 wives/15 concubines and having received your rewards, blame it on Abraham.  To you, Abraham took 2 wives therefore, it's normal and life must go on for this generation.

But, under what circumstances did that happen? Was it what God intended? In the Christian manual, Genesis 21:12 confirmed God's intention on this matter and we accept God's will.  Didn't you see how it all ended up? Hagar and Ishmael were sent packing as the full authority of God manifested in the birth of Isaac (the true heir and God's intended first son of Abraham) and the complete word of God stood fast. 

Why and how did it all happen?  Impatience and lack of faith on the part of Sarah!  Satan took advantage of her weakness and got into the family - by penetrating her defences urging her to give her maid to her husband so that they could have an heir. 

Sarah, being a loved wife was able to convince her husband of her good ideas and because Abraham would do anything for his wife, he succumbed to Sarah's point of view and Ishmael was born as first son. That wasn't God's intention - that Ishmael should bear the crown of Abraham - no!  God intended Isaac through Sarah to be Abraham's heir - and God established it irrespective of satan's activities.

So as you can see, a first wife, will always be first and a second wife will always play second fiddle, period.  Reason being, they are thieves - there's no joy in stealing another woman's husbands. No joy!

bawomolo:
"what manual would that be, the muslim manual that says i can have four wives"  cheesy
Hey, man!

You don't need to ask this question.  God's intention and answer to this your enquiry is already in your face.

Whether the writer is talking about a Muslim manual or a Christian manual - it doesn't really matter which one because:

In the beginning, God created "Adam and Eve", period!  And not Adam plus Eve plus Cecilia plus Jumoke as too many hands in the soup can not only make it too salty but highly contagious. Got ithuh  There you are and that's the manual you are asking about and don't enquire any further!
FamilyRe: Is It Proper To Make My Wife Next Of Kin? by Theblessed(f): 12:09pm On Jul 10, 2010
By law, husbands and wives are first of all, each others next of kin and rightly so. Others are secondary.  However, depending on your relationship with all including your wife, you can choose who should get that honour but, the rightful person is your wife then, any of your children and not necessarily the first son/daughter.

FamilyRe: Are Marriage Vows Difficult To Uphold? by Theblessed(f): 10:42pm On Jul 09, 2010
Obviously, marriage vows are not difficult to uphold and how could they when in a monogamous relationship what's yours, is your wife's and hers yours too? But, who said it is anyway, aside satan and his agents who have been putting selfish and evil thoughts in peoples minds? 

And, with the fear of God in you, why would that be difficult? Think, think and think when you go about violating your marriage vow remember, one day you will be answerable to God Almighty in Heaven.  Don't ever forget that!
SportsRe: Algerian Player Slaps Woman In Public After Usa Match. by Theblessed(f): 7:20pm On Jun 24, 2010
[b]Well done Halimi!!! Never knew Middle Eastern ladies could fight their corners like this.  Quite surprised!! Well, done my sisters more grease to your elbows!  
You see, our mothers raised insecure men, who believe that women owe them something.  In fact, women are God's gift to them.  

And for you Rafik? Well, as you had seen, that's not true! You met an assertive woman, a go-getting lady and now, you know the score.  Next time, try it again with another assertive lady - your family would be writing your OBITUARY! Trust me! angry angry angry angry  

Why did you throw that bottle at the wall during the Press conference?  Because, your male ego had been dented by a woman, isn't? embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed  No woman had ever slapped you ever, in your life no be so o o o? You have always been the KING with god given rights to do so and get away with it, true or false? wink wink wink

Right, now you know the score don't try it again because, there might not be another next time for you. Imagine, you'd only just had a skin tear on the lips from this incident alone and you're looking like this, sorio o o! Rafik, may I ask if this is a one off or a habit? It seems like a habit, isn't it? undecided undecided undecided  A well established routine with your wife - the home punching bag, eh?  You are a very lucky man! 

You see, we might be women - the weak ones but we can be aggressive just as men, too.  Remember, we are called W O M E N which means we can act like men as well as women if we want to and, when there is need for us to do so, just as your incident with Halimi.  Listen, women are no longer shy, slave, subservient door mat most men would prefer for a wifery.  

No, that generation had gone, the generation of our mothers and grand mothers, no more! Why? Because, their generation was a generation of the T E L E G R A M S and G R A M O P H O N E S that took ages to get started and, 3 months to get to their destination, not these day.  Ours, is a generation I don't need to remind you of, because you know the difference.

Again, for your long life be warned, STOP hitting women else, you'd soon be HISTORY. DO NOT SAY YOU'RE NOT WARN cool cool cool!

CrimeRe: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by Theblessed(f): 6:41pm On Jun 19, 2010
[b]So, you think  r a p i n g  someone is fun and, a softer/easier version of ithuh You can only get away with it in that Nigerian DUMP because, it's only Nigeria that would condone or downplay the effects of this atrocious act.  Try it abroad and that would be the last time you step into any civilised country in your life - perhaps, you should ask Mike Tyson how  often he travels out of America these days and that would give you an indication of how easy it is for  r a p i s t s  abroad.  

Days are gone when men r a p e d women and get away with it - not in these DNA age.  Once you are accused of such act even by mistake and you're finger-printed - damn, you're done for life! It's up to you if you don't know r a p e  is a serious offence when you go about on here making your comparisons because, by  r a p i n g  somebody you not only violate them physically but also, mentally and, psychologically as the experience destroys their whole lives including their family/relationships. Think about it, enough of that now!

And, as for stealing however you perceive it, it is still wrong.  Why can't we Nigerians behave ourselves everywhere we go.  We know our name is not good on the world platform and no one likes us, why can't we prove them wrong for a change?  Are we the only country going through hardship in the world?

This is an example of greed/corruption in our society that belies je je je inside our veins.  It would never be eradicated no matter how hard we try because, it is entrenched in our psychs beside, we also glamorise such behaviour. So, help us God!

CareerRe: Would You Rather "work For Somebody" Or "work With Somebody" by Theblessed(f): 10:48am On Jun 19, 2010
In my view, it should be 'work with you'. 

Reason being that, it's much better to work with each other in partnership as we have one aim/goal for the Company.  Aside this, employees these days have stakes or are given the opportunity to benefit from the company's profits as well as have shares in them. 

Well, I don't know about yours and depending on what trade your Co. is in, if you are not given these opportunities then you might be in the wrong Co - check with your HR, first.

So, for me, it is 'work with' because together we stand.
RomanceRe: How Do You Overcome Temptation? by Theblessed(f): 12:49am On Jun 16, 2010
[b]How do you overcome temptation, he askedhuh Child of God, eazypeazy!

You see, this innocent servant of yours hadn't been attracted to you before until now your wife's away, isn't it?  

Satan the thief is taking advantage, resist and put him under your foot! Satan never like to see people happy and at peace, let alone a peaceful and loving home as yours.  Aim: the destruction of your happiness using this innocent looking servant who is now, metamorphosing into this irresistible Agent provocateur whom you can't stop laying your drooly eyes on.huh  

Please, for the sake of your young children who would bear the brunt when it all goes wrong, inform this little house girl to pack her bags and take her home to Mama, ok! This way, we can all overcome temptation, right? 
Do it now!  That's, my good brother!! wink wink wink wink wink.

You see, I don't blame you rather, your Mrs.  Sometimes, I wonder how some women bring trouble into their own  homes and begin to moan.  Why would any woman leave a young and hot blooded husband with a hot blooded young lady in her home whilst abroad studying and not expecting any explosionhuh In your dreams, in your dreams!!  Wake up!

Failing to tidy up some loose ends in your home before nipping off can turn round to bite you.  Just thank your God you have a decent husband with conscience! For me to act like that, don't even think of it! Unless my husband is Pope John Paul and living in the Vatican would I even sneeze on the idea not to talk of thinking of it and actually doing it.

Naaah!, the moment my suit cases are being packed so is hers to her Mama, until I'm back, alwite?  That's it, you got the message!!! cool cool cool

Biko, merie ekwensu na ndi odibo ya, maka ndi uta.  Send her packing now and try to visit your wife or she comes home for at least two weeks if that's more economical for both of you.  I know studying abroad can be very challenging and demanding too but, she can do it.  So, weigh up your better options to avoid this 'frustratemption'.  Cheers! grin

nope, they didn't connive to cheat the white lady  undecided undecided the naija wife didn't know about the whitey until after the marriage sad sad so when she found out she had to lie low cos she loved the guy and didn't want to lose him undecided undecided
Well, she can just wait to take back her looser husband and disgusted marriage 1 million times if she likes.  Because, once the white lady finds out the truth as she would, his sorry a r s e would be in a box back to her for keeps for good.  No one likes to be deceived and deceit can stir up demons out of people heads without a thought.  She would then realise the weight of her own covering up.

Just don't know when some Nigerian women would get a life.  Loving a man that disrespect you this way, what's inside your head if not stupidity and low self-esteem .  At her age, is she still playing school love? Please tell her to grow up!!!
RomanceRe: Things People Do In The Name Of Love! by Theblessed(f): 7:37pm On Jun 13, 2010
[b]In your view, is this lovehuh? Is it how low this guy would stoop to be able to provide for his family? If so, he ain't worth a man. Disregarding your wife's feelings and brought home another woman for her to serve - what a cruel and selfish b a s t a r d. This is the kind of men I like to chew their 'balls' raw so that, at a mere mention of a woman in their next life, they kukuma turn gay by force. angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry  Abusing your wife emotionally and psychologically is not fun therefore, when I finish with him the a Eunuch would be far better than him? If this is the definition of love to most people well, they can keep it. 

You see, as this lady is an alibi to her husband's fraudulent acts eventually, it would turn round and bite her on the neck because, what goes round would come round three time for you. 

Covering up your husband's bigamous act in order to save your marriage is not an intelligent act and I query this woman's self-esteem/efficacy.  No independent woman that loves and values herself would allow herself to be marginalised this way, what an abuse? Do we really have to sympathise with her when she lives in a man's pocket, what does she expect? Of course, abuse and many of it!

Remember, habits can only change when you stop them and, you can only stop them by putting your foot on the breaks and say - look, time's up!!!! angry angry angry Until then, please, inform this woman to continue patching up this wretched marriage thinking she's got one, one day she'd wake up in a hot sweat.

PoliticsRe: Yerima Cannot Continue In Senate, Says Nba by Theblessed(f): 5:26pm On Jun 13, 2010
[b]Being a Senator does not prevent us from finding out who this guy really is - a paedophile. The act is inate and entrenched in him hence this consistent behaviour of not only raping but sexually and psychologically damaging these very young girls for his own evil gratifications. To me, his status as a Senator, is just a mask to cover up his wickedness on young women and I wonder, what might have been the experiences of young girls near where he lives/state that led him into going as far off a foreign land to seek out another innocent child for abuse.  Wait, your day shall come!!!!  


The sad thing is that after he has taken their purity, he discard them via divorce.  And I ask, where now is the young woman he took before the one in question - gone home to her Mama/Papa, eh? You see, this sadist must be stopped and if we don't, it won't be long his current catch would be discarded and he'll be back on it again - watch this space!  

It would be nice to make an example of him so that others like him who are lying low right now, waiting and watching the events/reactions in the country on this matter, learn their very own lessons.
Therefore, NBA I support you in every aspect and, urge you not to relent on this matter until this sadist smells his own blood. angry angry angry angry

Foreign AffairsRe: South African 1st Lady Pregnant. Paternity In Doubt by Theblessed(f): 4:41pm On Jun 09, 2010
Hmmm! use of language, still a problem.

Anyway, I should add that women don't marry themselves rather, men do.  If that's the case, a married man should know he is married and say 'no' thanks to any extras given to him but, do they? I wonder who is committing sin here, a married man going after an unmarried woman? I think people should search their conscience for their own salvation.

Good everyone is now witnessing the evils of man's greed - polygamy as its unfolding under our own eye and ears. Wait for more! Who's next?

[b]Excused me! What do you mean by "that Nigerian smell?", If Nigeria has got smell I'm very sorry, indeed!  People are not proud of who they are because they have issue - the Michael J's of this world. This is how Nigerians undermine themselves and blame others for it.  Since you have so low self esteem of your own culture why bother?

There's nothing wrong with our food and my beautiful crispy, curvy and naturally preserved Nigerian crayfish (with no additive) and whose flavour is out of this world, you can't compare!!!  So, how could anyone rubbish my Nigeria crayfish, I wonder!  

May be, there's a cultural identity issue to address here hope you resolve it and leave our crayfish alone. In fact, Ms Crayfish say I should inform you, since you appreciate her taste and not her smell that the dislike is mutual and, perhaps, you should LEAVE HER ALONE NOW, than coming here to abuse her! cool cool cool cool cool cool

Finally, on a personal note, aside the message, always preserve our beautiful curvy Nigerian lady (blended or whole) in your freezer that way, you'd be happy and she too. grin grin grin grin grin

You see, any money stolen from your Company is also stolen from you.  I could hear you say, oh its Company's money - no! It's your money too and you would realise it when your company declares itself Bankrupt (i.e. ran out of money) and made you all redundant as a result.  That's when you'd realise how much this guy had actually stolen from you - your job and your children's bread on the table.  So, don't think about it, report him immediately.

FamilyRe: Is There A Need To Validate A Woman's Fertility By Impregnating Her B4 Marriage? by Theblessed(f): 3:39pm On Jun 04, 2010
[b]Well, we bring it upon ourselves! On the same token, why can women demand the result of a man's fertility/impotence before saying 'I do'.  That way men would begin to realise, we are created equally and that it takes two to tango angry angry.

We all know, their halves and our halves - God ordained as 'One Whole'.  Without their halves nor ours, there's no human race and that's where the need to be recognised and accepted as equals sums it up for everyone.  Therefore, its up to us to change men's reasoning/attitudes and current culture by doing the opposite.  

Women have suffered a lot of injustice and marginalisation in society as a result of their obedience to parents/family and their eagerness to please society at the expense of their own happiness (e.g. assimilating/absorbing societal pressure on issues of singleton/marriage). It's all about control and if not, why would a man need to validate his fiancée's fertility before marriage.  And for those women who need to ensure marriage why get pregnant to entrap a man? Again, it's all about control and power in relationships? Yet, it's society that instigated it based on our ancient/archaic beliefs and values but hey, this is the 21st Century. 

Here, I ask again and again, is it compulsory 'Thou shall marry?  And can someone tell me, is it also the 11th Commandment? But, they say we should all learn from example hey, the Bible told us that our first parents - Adam and Eve were companions isn't ithuh So, why the heck about this compulsion on marriage when you can live with whoever you fancy and have your babies if you are tired of singleton?

I need to know, for I believe it's time we turn around and say 'No' enough is enough to societal pressure and mean it! Yes, its going to be difficult as some of us are so wavy and pleasing types hence society not taking our needs seriously.  However, it is possible if only we try and sing with one voice. Shall wehuhNaaaaaaaah!!! Thus, the suffering continues until women are able to take charge of their own lives and make a difference for themselves and their daughters.

God knows what women have suffered in the hands of men both in our society and others e.g. Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Africa as a whole etc.  One thing is for sure our day shall come one day, for our God is a God of justice and equality and with him on our side, the inequalities in these societies and ours will be tackled.

PoliticsRe: Fg To Increase Police Salaries - Latest News by Theblessed(f): 3:45pm On May 29, 2010
[b]And you think this would solve the problem? Inasmuch as I support Police salary increment, it doesn't really matter how much and how often the increments are made.  You see, Nigerian Police will always find a way to take bribe.  Remember, as long as corruption exist in this country and people are prepared to feed it, in order to achieve their ambitious aims/goals in life, police will always demand bribe. 

You can pay them a billion Naira a month or put them on the same salary scale as their Uk and American counterparts are right now, Nigerian Police will still need bribe - if not for themselves/immediate family, it must be for a distant relative some where. 
Reason being that, Nigerians are very ambition and highly competitive people who are never satisfied or contented with the little they have.  We have to have what our neighbours have got even though we don't really have the means i.e. money and don't really need it. We have to catch up with the Joneses and sure we will, come rain and high mountains - that's the issue. 

Listen, don't you want your own 4 x 4 or Rolls Roycehuh?? Well, Police do too and, that's where the problem emanates! grin grin grin grin grin

Please, find a woman of your own calibre.  When I say calibre I don't mean - education, careers, who you know/don't know, I mean in terms of shared beliefs and values. In my view, this lady is not ready for marriage she has other ambitions tucked away some where to be resurrected later and buying time.  So, if you think you are ready for the next stage in your life then, move on.  Don't think this is the one.  It seems this relationship centres on material wealth/gain - if that's what you want, good luck!

PoliticsRe: Nigeria May Go Bankrupt As Crude Oil Price Falls by Theblessed(f): 7:27pm On May 18, 2010
[b]But who cares if prices are falling or the oil is running out?  In my view, the earlier the better and corruption will lessen too.

Hey, remember that man shall not live by bread alone, Nigeria has other natural resources to tap into.  Or is it because, Nigerians have been programmed to think oil, oil and oil all the time as the only source of revenue/income open to us?

What about our forefathers, didn't they survive on this land without this silly oil that has caused a lot of evil in this country? And what about other countries of the world that have no drop of oil at all in it, are they not surviving and pulling their weights in the world economy?  

Let's face it, the big man of Asia today - CHINA, how much oil have they got?  Haven't you heard about their rapid development, success and wealth? Or should I remind you once more, even America is indebted to them ask people who are aware of the eco-political situation in the world today, maybe they'd download you with information on how much trillions of Dollars America owe China as I type this then, you would realise you don't need oil to develop your own country. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease, give me a break!  

Let me tell you, with oil or not, the next generation will survive just the way, our forefathers did ok and I hope, there won't be much greed to go round, then. So, think of today, as the creator takes charge of his property, tomorrow will think of itself.  Therefore, worry no more it's all good! grin grin grin

Having said that, in Nigerian money talks and he has lots of our stolen money with him.  I know he would release this money at the crunch of time in his campaign, and many Nigerian including some of us on N/L opposing his return would flock in and cast their vote for him remember, money rules the world - just watch this space! 

My take is, if Nigerians decides to choose him as their President, and Ikemba supports it, who am I not to join Nigerian people. All I want is, who ever rules to be fair in their governance and create jobs, sort out our infrastructures: roads, hospitals, schools/Universities, industries etc because, Nigerian is a rich country and has enough money to do so besides, these are our rights and we are entitled to them.  We should not beg for them, at all. That's where I stand!

It doesn't matter who rules, what matters is making a big difference in our peoples lives, making Nigerian people's lives more comfortable and worth living. That way, Nigerians would be more prouder of their country than they are at the moment.

cicero:
I would rather celebrate the massob guy (and I am not doing that either) than celebrate Ojukwu. Some people have said elsewhere on this forum that he was selfish in his decision to plunge us into a civil war and I’m beginning to believe them.
Here is my position, Ojukwu was never and will never be an igbo hero.

He started a war that was fought on our soil, every army general avoids that like hell.

The igbos had already made considerable progress that if it was not interrupted by the war, the igbos would be calling the shots in Nigeria now and we would still have the opportunity to leave the Hausas and their problems and go home to Biafra.

He did not form any alliance, a dumb thing to do. Could you imagine for example a Russian warship hovering around the coastal Niger Delta and the Nigerian army and their allies being aware that a warship is watching the back of Biafra?

Did he weigh other options open to him when the igbos were being killed in the north before going for the costliest?

What is one good outcome of the war? Just tell me one

see I used to be like you, singing the ojukwu song especially after he came to our school a long time ago and gave a very inciteful speech that if we had a couple of AK47s we would have started another war.

If this man had only spent  10 minutes to consider the chances of winning or losing the war…

BTW what do you mean by the marginalization of the Igbos by the hausa? Or did you mean to say marginalization of the igbos by the igbos?
Well, got nothing to say to you! When you and your kind continue to abuse  Ojukwu for saving Ndi Igbo from the hands of these devilish wicked people that nearly wiped us all out. All I can say to you is, when you finished listening to their blackmails remember this,,'Everyone is an Expart  in Hindsight', reflecting on what could have been, what he could have done and what not.

OAM4J:
my dear, cant you take a compliment without tending to quarrel?

Anyway I understand your points and also wish to say that I prefer your humorous side.  cool
Again, thanks for your compliments! I'm glad it made you laugh!  Wasn't seeking quarrels with you at all rather, pointing out issues in order to encourage change in negative attitudes from all and sundry here because, in terms of exchange of knowledge, N/L is an informative zone that has benefited a lot of people therefore, a good medium to express this view though, it can be boring sometimes (my view) grin grin grin
FamilyRe: Yoruba Tradition Is Killing My Love by Theblessed(f): 6:18pm On May 01, 2010
[b]What a dilemma. 

Irrespective of any situation, always keep the communication line with your parents open.  Talk to them, seriously about your emotions/needs.  But you did not say how close this Uncle is to you.  Is he an immediate/direct Uncle from you paternal/maternal sides of the family (that could be a hinge) or extended family Uncle? If extended, I couldn't see any reason for not tying the knot.  But I worry if its Mama or Papa brother o o.  I'd wash my hands off! It's not that both of you can't find love else where, I know you can besides, you are both still young. 

Please, for family unity, don't follow the selfish line because, it will back fire.  If family insist, get support, mobilise family members/clans Uncles with influence to talk deeply to the 'Hot heads' in the family (every family has one). 

However, should they continue to oppose your marriage plans at least, both of you now have genuine reasons to let go of the relationships/bring closure to it in order to saver family unity and avoid creating atmosphere that would linger for a very long time in the family.  Remember, a lot is at risk here. Her sister may decide not to have relationship with both of you and thus orient her own children away from your children.  Also, other family members may not want anything to do with both of you and your children (Isolation from the family, you wouldn't want).  That's a situation you wouldn't want to be in please, avoid it.  In my view, family can make one and break one, too! Why?  Because, family know exactly where to press your button, believe me! grin grin grin grin

Also, you and you girlfriend can always remain friends for life (if everything fails, I hope not!) as long as you ensure your prospective partners understand this from the onset because openness and trust are important here.     

Again, please don't elope, try and get your family blessing and go through the natural processes of marriage with everyone supporting you and you'd be glad you did.  I know both of you are going through emotional pain at it stands and satan is challenging you right now therefore, put it in prayer - morning and night. If it's the will of God it will happen with family full support.

Good luck and God bless!
