When will you be delivered from this problem?

No one sabotages a relationship with potential on purpose, but sometimes we unwittingly ruin something that may have brought us great happiness even before it’s had a chance to get started. To help you pinpoint if you have a problem, I’ve listed five acts of relationship sabotage – have you been guilty of any of these?
1. You’ve rejected a man because he doesn’t fit your ideal
Most women have, at some point, dreamt about their ideal man. He’s probably rich, incredibly handsome, charming and intelligent. Maybe he looks a lot like Van Vicker. It’s a fun exercise, but reality and fantasy are very different things. If your ideal man is more Prince Charming than John-Next-Door, then it might be time to rethink your priorities.
2. You’ve gone for the attractive man over the guy with personality
Dating a man who’s drop dead gorgeous can be a nice little ego boost. But if he’s all looks and no personality, the novelty will soon wear off. A man who treats you well and can make you laugh is always going to have more sticking power than one who looks good but can’t string a sentence together.
3. You argue with your partners about nothing
They say that arguing about the big things is normal, and squabbling about the smaller things can be dealtwith. But if you argue with your partners about nothing, then you need to take an honest look at yourself. This behaviour erodes a relationship and often it’s caused by something that happened in a previous relationship – a form of transference. If this sounds like you, try to work back to what it is you could be projecting onto your new relationships. If you can let that go, you’ll be able to move on.
4. You tease him mercilessly about how he shows his feelings
If you tease your boyfriend like a school girl about how he shows his feelings towards you, he’s going to feel degraded and emasculated. Not every man was born the world’s greatest lover, and by telling him he doesn’t do things the way you’d expect, you’re not going to help. Instead, show him how you want him to act towards you, and he should follow – have a little patienceand before you know it you’ll have a seasoned pro instead.
5. You’ve jumped ship to avoid confronting your emotions
Relationships are by no means always plain sailing – they require hard work and honesty between partners. If you find yourself ending relationships rather than tackling issues, ask yourself if that was really what you wanted to do. Or if, by putting in the effort, you could have helped grow your relationship into something even better. Honesty doesn’t need to be brutal – it can be loving and honest. And if he cares about you too, he’ll also want to make it work.

coogar: too much sëx cannot kill a woman - stop peddling myths.....

If it will kill, all the harlots would have died.

parki: Have there not been total black-out in Nigeria prior to this rubbish? when have we ever had light? This news is totally irrelevant.
I bet no one read this news to the end. This is NO NEWS!... NEXT.

It is not news to you, but to some, it is a news. I read it to the end.

I sat on a chair at the front of my house gisting with my friend around few minutes to 12 noon. Suddenly, I saw the WAEC candidates trooping out from a secondary school closer to my house. I stood up to approach of them to see the physics question booklet. He gave it to me and I told him that I just want to go through the questions, but he asked me to go with it. I thanked him and went back to my seat.
I opened the booklet and started reading through the questions. Suddenly, my friend told me to look at what the student wrote at the back of the question booklet. I told him that I saw it. He told me to read it, when I read what the student wrote there; I bursted into laughter.
Read through the poem that he wrote:
My heart is empty without you, like a bird without a sony.
My eyes are blind without your eyes to see, like a rose without color.

I began to wonder how the boy will pass his papers with this type of self distraction on his first paper day.

JideTheBlogger: @Op, so you will buy 4 SIMS and keep telling your friends to save the 4 numbers or what? Are you not tired of moving around with more than one phone?

sunny t: People dnt prepare for marriage and that’s y it hardly lasts this days. All they do is plan for the wedding for 2 yrs thinking that’s all there is to marriage.
Wedding is jst a one day event while the marriage will be forever, so y nt give it ur all.

Media and trend tells us hw to live our lives, media determines our happiness and peace, it tells us who to marry, who to love, what is right. Its all abt the media and trend.

Its jst so pathetic

As for me, i wil spend ample time to plan for my marriage in order to have a happy home.

pato2775: Ok,observation noted....am I 1st

You this boy, you never overcome this your pathetic problem.

Definition: Marriage is the social contract and institution under which a couple live together (usually monogamously) for the rest of their lives.

A wedding is the act, ceremony or event of getting married.
Today, people devote much time to plan for the wedding and neglect the marriage that will last long. But I think the marriage should be well planned for since it is a long term institution or what do you think? Wise opinions are needed.

SpicyMimi: Hi my fellow Nairalanders,

okay, i have this friend who has been dating her guy for some few months now, and he also has plans of getting married to her but has never bought her any gift nor has he cared about her needs finacially. I personally told her the guy is a stingy guy and things might get ugly after marriage, but then again i might be wrong, so i need you all to share your views on this.

Also, would love to have answers to the following questions:

1. When should a guy start spending on a girl? ''For your info am not a gold-digger, i hardly collect stuffs from my boyfriend but atleast am glad he isnt the stingy type''

2. Why do guys so much believe in the word 'Give and take'?

3. Who should call more?

And for the Ladies, you could also tell us what and what your boyfriends or fiance's is doing or has done as per being in a relationship with him, same with the Male folks as well.

Note- Forming is allowed.

Just tell us that you are the one so that we can help you get into his pocket and bank account

paris10: I am a Christian (not religious) and I love kissing. Depending on your definition of sin, i think Nigerian Christians are gullible and are overly spiritual. When does kissing become a sin and where in the Bible was it clearly stated? Kissing is an emotional display of affection, and it doesn't necessarily have to lead to sex.

When kissing leads to sex, then you can call it a sin, but when it doesn't, what then do we call it, sin? Forget about the "it will lead to sex or other stuff" talk, @op question is simple and direct; is kissing or hugging a sin a not? If we are to isolate kissing or hugging, then everything we do in this world should be sinful then.

Don't u knw dat dis type of kissing usually takes place in the closet and nt in the public? U shud knw dat wen doing it d both don't just limit it to kissing since it is in d closet. Pecking can b done in d public and people will nt frown at it. U said it cannot lead to sex, but it wil make d both of u wet dat u wil lose control and go into d act.

BetaThings: Actually you are wrong. It is not muslims that derail Christian threads. It is the other way round
He just pointed out that we Muslims don't interfere on your threads and we have no problem with you discussing whatever you want on the front page or wherever
He wants you to take the same stance when Muslims threads hit the front page
Personally, I believe he should have waited till you guys get angry (as usual) because Muslims are discussing on the front page.
Anyway apologies for derailing. But I thought I should clarify things

You have spoken well.

siddiq202: Op, I'm not in a good position to answer your question because I'm not a Christian but I think it should be wrong.
Btw, this thread is the 5th christian thread making it to the front page today and note that no bashing has been recorded by any Muslim thank you.

wat are u waitin for? Go and open ur own forum too and begin to do wat u lyk, jealousy and envious person. Dis is hw they bgin crisis and kill innocent lives in d name of fighting for 1 useless and weak god dat cannot lift his weaken finger to defend himself.

koonbey: ive never said this before,but;what is this doing on the Front page? ok;i do not think kissing is a Sin,i think it depends on how much self control the couples have,if you know swapping saliva will cause you to go farther than you want to,dont even try. but if you can handle it,by all means do...jux know your limits,you know they say;when a handshake extends beyond the elbow... in this case,when a kiss extends beyond the facial area...Torh

Have u 4goten dat during kissing d hand also reciprocate, or u just fold ur hands lyk shigidi and do d kissing. I don't need this ur comment.

lecturerdabo: Thanks.

U are welcome.

lecturerdabo: Now the bible did not say much about the sinfulness or not of kissing and I would not want to categorically say it's a sin but since the bible said something about a holy kiss, that on its own suggest that there must be an unholy kiss.

Personally, I believe that kissing should be avoided if one deisires to live a pure life. Just like U said, it can lead to uncontrollable sexual urge James 1:15 'Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.'

2Pet. 2:2 'And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed'.

1Pet. 1:14 'As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,'

Hope this will be helpful.

I like your answer and the biblical verses u quoted.
Do you know it took me over 3 hours to convinced a lady on this issue? She argued and gave reasons for hugging and kissing during courtship. My stand is NO. What I need is biblical verses to support my points.

rezzy: Im not a matured christian, im still growing. I think kissing is a sin because it can lead to bed stuff but hugging is not. My fiance and i have hugged like 5 times. I will ask him when we see on his on view on kissing.

Thanks for this. Even though u didnt back up ur ansa

I strongly believe that premarital sex is sinful and I know that other bible believers know this.
It is clear that many xtian believers abstain from sex during courtship, but some cannot do away with hugging and kissing. Many believe that it is not sinful while others believe that it is sinful. Look, am not talking of pecking here. But the real bedroom kissing and hugging that can lead to the next scene.
I want mature christians to shed more light on this. If it is sinful, give biblical support to convince me and if it is not, give your reasons and support it with bible verses.
Thanks.

Salmon the father of
Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse." --
Matthew 1:5 (NIV) The genealogy of Jesus
Christ, the Son of David,
is recorded in Matthew
1:1-17 and Luke
3:23-38. In Matthew
1:4-5 and Luke 3:32 we find the name,
"Salmon." From both
gospel accounts we
learn that Salmon was
the father of Boaz. This
fact is also confirmed in Ruth 4:21 where we
read, "Salmon the father of Boaz, Boaz
the father of Obed." And in 1 Chronicles
2:11-12 where we read,
"Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of
Boaz, Boaz the father
of Obed and Obed the
father of Jesse." So we have established
that Jesus had an
ancestor named,
"Salmon," somewhere
in His family tree.
However, it is only in Matthew where we
learn of Salmon's wife.
In Matthew 1:5 we
read, "Salmon the father of Boaz, whose
mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of
Obed, whose mother
was Ruth, Obed the
father of Jesse." Hidden between the lines in
Matthew 1:5 we find
the puzzle piece, which
gives us the clue that
Rahab was married to
Salmon. Yes, this is the same Rahab who hid
the spies in her home in
Jericho. To learn more
about Rahab, read "The Scarlet Rope" devotional article. Rahab is mentioned
seven times by name in
the Bible and five of
these she is referred to
as, "Rahab the prostitute or harlot." The Bible does not
specifically state when
Rahab turned from her
former occupation and
sinful lifestyle to follow
God; however, we do know from the text in
Matthew that she
married Salmon and
had a son named,
"Boaz." I believe Rahab's
confession of faith can
be found in Joshua
2:9-11 where we read,
"I know that the LORD has given this land to
you and that a great
fear of you has fallen
on us, so that all who
live in this country are
melting in fear because of you. We
have heard how the
LORD dried up the
water of the Red Sea
for you when you
came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon
and Og, the two kings
of the Amorites east of
the Jordan, whom you
completely destroyed.
When we heard of it, our hearts melted and
everyone's courage
failed because of you,
for the LORD your God
is God in heaven
above and on the earth below." Rahab made a public
confession regarding
the true God of Israel
and I believe this was a
turning point in her life. She had to turn her back
on the king of Jericho,
her gods, and the
people of Jericho. She
took a major chance
with her life by hiding the two spies. Yes, she
was willing to risk her
very life to follow the
spies and the children of
Israel. In Joshua 6:25
we read, "But Joshua spared Rahab the
prostitute, with her
family and all who
belonged to her,
because she hid the
men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho." Rahab and the lives of
her family were spared
because of her
obedience to God and
by her faith. In Hebrews
11:31 we read, "By faith the prostitute
Rahab, because she
welcomed the spies,
was not killed with
those who were
disobedient." God spared the life of
Rahab, a woman who
had been a prostitute in
Jericho. He took a
Gentile woman and her
sinful life and gave her a Godly husband and a
son whom they named,
"Boaz." Boaz is
identified as being the
kinsman-redeemer in
the book of Ruth. Boaz married Ruth and they
too had a son, "Obed."
Obed was King David's
grandfather. Read
devotional articles "Naomi's Sojourn,"
"Mahlon's Widow," and "Boaz--A Kinsman
Redeemer" to learn more about Ruth and
Boaz. Did you notice that
Matthew mentions two
Gentile women in
Christ's genealogy?
These being Ruth, the
Moabitess, and Rahab, the harlot. God's grace is
so beautiful. He spared
the life of Rahab, a
former harlot or
prostitute, and included
her in the ancestral lineage of Jesus Christ.
His grace is truly
amazing and He has a
plan for each one of our
lives. May we find comfort in
the words of Ephesians
2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith--and this
not from yourselves, it
is the gift of God--not
by works, so that no
one can boast." Amen.

I don't know why some people on this forum always give themselves to the devil to be used.
They believe in doctors who God created and shared part of His knowledge with them, but they didn't believe in this God.

I wanted to vote for GEJ, but the ballot papers got finished before I got to the polling unit.
As for 2015, let the will of God be done.
