They say Rome wasn’t built in a day. So also, no marriage falls apart in a day. It doesn’t just collapse overnight like a building after heavy rain. It’s hardly ever one dramatic event that destroys a marriage; it’s the gradual pile of little hurts, secrets, silences, and distance. That’s why so many people are …
Strange combination, right? Because how can someone love you but not like you? But it’s the truth. Love and like are not the same thing. Love can make a man stay. It can make him protect, provide, and even sacrifice. But liking you is different. That one is about enjoying you as a person. Wanting …
The first time I heard someone lie about their whereabouts, I was shocked. It was an early Monday morning, and this man was brushing his teeth when he received a call from the person he was supposed to meet. The next thing I heard from him was, “I am almost there. I am already within …
Let’s not kid ourselves. Everyone has expectations about marriage. If not, why do we get married?

For some weird reason, whenever we talk about fears relating to things like intimacy, it’s usually associated with women. I understand this to some extent because men generally seem bolder and fearless in this area; they seem to have nothing holding them back. But make no mistakes, behind their bold smiles and confident strides, many …

Romance is one of those things that everyone thinks they understand, until they actually have to practice it. Many wives, without meaning to, confuse basic courtesy for romance.
