Be Intentional in your Marriage

How have you all been? Hope your year has been going smoothly?

Easter Sunday

I have been spending more time on personal needs that took me aware from you all.

There’s been so much going on here on social media as usual.

However, lately I have seen marriages having issues. It is almost rampant. Your faves and idols are splitting and more.

I want to remind us to be intentional about anything that matters to us.

Do remember, anything worth doing should be done well.

Do not leave your marriage or marital duties to chances.

Have a structure or plan; over time this can be part of you.

I do pray God protect all marriages.

Praying for couples, especially those having a difficult time.

May they retrace their steps and find favour in God’s sight.

Marriage is a lovely institution established by God.

May couples not be so worldly to lose focus.

May those who place their hope and trust in God not be put to shame.

Praying that marriages stand the test of time.

Asking for a happy and safer home for parents and kids.

Control That Anger

My message for you today is DO NOT allow yourself to be angered unnecessarily. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, annoyance or hostility. Friends, please do control your temperament. I know most of us might think it’s that easy, I must tell you it’s easier said than done but it is definitely achievable.

Do not be angered and feel you must react straight away, instead take a deep breath and look at the situation differently. There are lots of myths about anger and how you must vent, which is not true. There are ways of managing anger.

We are humans and definitely, someone would hurt or provoke us but that shouldn’t be the reason to act irresponsibly. Do not forget that anger and stress trigger certain health conditions.

There are lots of terrible stories that surround us, whether it’s our neighbours, relations or colleagues who have taken a drastic action as a result of being provoked, which they later regretted.

I had an ugly encounter the other day. It happened that a young man had an argument with his girlfriend, he hit her and she fainted. He panicked and hung himself. Minutes later the girlfriend woke up, saw him hanging helplessly and rang the ambulance.

There is so much to that story. I feel so sad and hurt that this actually happened. So many questions ran through my mind:

Why hit someone over something you can talk about?

Hitting your loved one to the point of leaving them unconscious? Seriously?

Why commit suicide when you think you’ve accidentally killed a person?

Was he that caring or an emotional person to actually want to take his own life realizing the consequences of his action?

Anger Management

Similarly, there are biblical verses that preach about anger control. I found a link that comprises of biblical passages on how why we all can overcome anger.

One of them says: Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil – Psalm 37. 9.  Others can be seen here.
Unfortunately, sad events occur due to anger but we all should be abreast with effective ways of controlling our temper.
