The Law Of Love
“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law”, Romans 13 vs 10.
IF only we know what love is. We sing about it, write about it, enjoy what it feels like but really don’t know love at all. Love is lived. Love has laws. There is a way of loving. It has a mix that relieves, and help us overcome whatever thing people say love does to them. Jesus said if we have love for another, people will know we are His disciples. When I teach or write about relationships, I pause to ask if it is worth anything at all. Romances are best sellers but the hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, betrayal, that accompanies our individual stories is alarming. People can’t stay in a marriage for love’s sake. The reason is actually because we don’t know how it goes. We know what we feel but don’t know what to do with it or how to keep the good feeling on. In my usual way, I will like to share few tips on what things I suggest we apply in our love adventure and I sure do believe it will help.
First, realize that love is all that matters. When properly defined, love means an outgoing of yourself to make another person happy or better. We should realize that is the greatest, and last commandment given to us. All religions in the world will agree that if we mastered love, we have attained perfection. We can only be perfect when we truly love. All our self-righteous rags, and long sermonizing about sin and iniquity won’t change the world until we learn about how to love – 1st John 3 vs 11, 23, James 2 vs 8.
It is a doing command. It is something we must do, not just what we feel towards the opposite sex. That’s why most romantic relationships don’t end well. We need to learn how to love our neighbours, friends, parents, siblings, and even enemies before we can properly love our spouses. Love is a character. It is learnt by practice. We grow in it. (1st John 3 vs 18). We do as love should do. Be kind, generous, forgiving, tolerant and lenient. We should also be truthful, loyal and protective.
It is Christ’s kind of love. I am a Christian. The one who believes that Jesus is Lord and Saviour. And what He says matters to me a lot. Whatever is said about Him in the bible is my interest. We are to love as Christ loves. Other examples of love will fall short of sincerity and truth. Christ’s love is a love that lays down, gives up, and surrenders, to the benefit of the one that is loved. (1st John 3 vs 16)
It is a ‘giving’ call. If we truly love, we will give – our time, resources, our very self. It is usually sacrificial, the love that will win divine approval. (1st John 3 vs 17).
It is an ‘ACT’ of faith (James 2 vs 15 – 17; Romans 10 vs 12). It believes and accepts people no matter where they come from. Does not recognize ‘caste’ system or whatever class distinction. It is not just praying for people but doing things to help, to ease, to show concern for another person. It is not just ‘words’ of faith as we are taught to use, but acts, a demonstration of faith. The bible describes faith as love in action towards the needy.
Doesn’t harm (Romans 13 vs 10). Please, let’s learn not to offend one another, or hurt one another. When we love people, we try not to do them ill. Infact, we think our words through before we utter them. It will give us no joy if the person we love is in pain, or angry because of our action or word. If in any case we realize that we have stepped on the toes of someone we love, we quickly apologize; the happiness of the one we love is important to us.
Love speaks louder than every conviction or expression of religious pioneers, (1st Corinthians 13 vs 1 – 10). What an orator, who can soothe a tear! What a visioneer who can see the heart! How often people respect our gifts and bow to us in reverence to our spiritual power but people can’t live with you peaceably. Your claim to holiness threatens them. No one can work with you, not because you are doing what is right but because you are harsh, unforgiving, difficult, and lack sympathy. Some people don’t commit adultery but are simply difficult to work or live with. There is no beauty in their supposed holiness.
You have to look in a particular way to be able to love (Mark 10 vs 21 – 22). If you look at every detail, you won’t love anyone. There are things you have to look away from. How do you see a baby? How do you see their mistakes? Why is it easy to love children, because there is a way we look at them. There are things we refuse to see. If we want to truly love people, we have to look at them from an angle of their humanness, uniqueness, specialty, and overlook some of their excesses and weakness.
You can make someone love you by loving them. The price of love is love (Hebrew 10 vs 24). We stir up love in people. Love your wife, it will come back to you. Respect your husband, it will come back to you. Love him, he won’t want to hurt you. Deliberately practice love acts, whether you feel like it or not.
Love should be lasting (Hebrew 13 vs 1). Let it continue. Nothing is real if it doesn’t last. When Shaka Zulu’s mother died, he cried “nothing is real, nothing is permanent, everything dies if you could die”. Love is not worth it, if it is not eternal. Believe me. It is only when we continue living can we leave a lasting legacy.

3 Major Differences Between Dating And Courting You Should Know
Ladies, did you know that there is a big difference between dating and courting. I know! I know! Most of us use the words interchangeably and we really need to stop doing that. I believe that a lot of our heartache and pain stems from not knowing the difference between the two. If we know the difference between dating and courting and put what we know into practice, the dating scene would not be as complicated as it is today. Relationships become complicated because we are in search for love but is going about it the wrong way to find it. Here are a few ways to know the differences and similarities between dating and courting: 1. When you are dating you should never meet his family. In this stage you are getting to know one another. You are learning things such as his likes and dislikes. Your goal is to learn as much as possible about each other without any outside influences. It is ok to meet the family if you are courting. 2. Dating is getting to know you. Courting is planning for marriage. During your dating stages you are acquaintances not lovers and cannot move into courting until both people can openly and honestly say we are courting with intentions of getting married. 3. s*x is a no no for both dating and courting. s*x should be reserved for marriage. If you have s*x in either the dating or courting stages you may risk the opportunity to actually become a bride. The old saying “why buy the whole cow if you can get the milk for free” still remains true in some cases. Yes ladies, some of these tips (and there are more) may be a hard pill to swallow but one needed to get our dating scene back to healthy and fun. Unless, you have decided that marriage isn’t for you, the dating stage should be short lived followed by courting. Remember ladies, being in love with the right person is the key to a happy and fulfilled life. Source: yourtango.com

8 Ways to Confirm that You are in an Exclusive Relationship
With so many people hooking up nowadays, including the “friends with benefits” scenario, many are not sure if they are in a relationship or in a “situationship”, a word I saw recently on social media. Relationships are sometimes treated like clothing; some change them almost daily. Then there are others who don’t mind sharing in intimate relationships with multiple partners, which are many times unknown to the other participants. Regardless of what we see in media, there are many people who still have a strong desire for an exclusive relationship. They want someone to refer to them as “mine”.
Here are eight ways to confirm if your relationship is exclusive:
1. You are their number one priority. If they are already parents, then their children will be their top priority, but thereafter, you are it. Your needs are met by them; they want to know how they can help and serve you in every possible way. They want to know ALL about you – the good and the bad. When they find out things about you that you may be ashamed of, they don’t run away. They also work hard to see you smile.
2. They create boundaries with their other friendships (and family members) to ensure that the relationship is protected. If they have opposite-s*x friendships, they establish boundaries to ensure that their significant other doesn’t have to question or wonder about anything.
3. They have nothing to hide. Nothing is off-limits. No question is too intrusive. Passwords are shared. They want you to know that they can be trusted; they want to put your mind at ease.
4. They are 100% committed to you. No-one else has their heart. They have made great strides in ridding themselves of soul ties, and they have completely ended and severed previous relationships.
5. They want to help you build your dreams. They have amazing suggestions and ideas, and they are ready to roll up their sleeves to help you build. They are not intimidated by your goals and dreams, because they know you want them to be a part of it!
6. They are ready to share you with the world. After they have vetted you with close friends, mentors, family members and spiritual leaders, they want to tell the world that you belong to them. They will start introducing you to their wider circle so that everyone becomes aware of the relationship.
7. There is discussion of marriage. Pre-marital counseling is scheduled with a professional therapist or spiritual leader (or both). The input of an objective, professional third party into the relationship helps to bring blind spots into view, and helps to bring an exclusive couple (who are compatible) even closer to each other.
8. They prefer spending their spare time with you over anyone else. They want to be in your presence just to experience you as much as they can. Their friends may tease them, but it doesn’t matter. You have become an important and vital part of their world, and they want everyone (including you) to know that!
Being loved exclusively is an amazing experience. To be treasured above everyone else, and to know that your lover has your back at all times adds an element of security and confidence to life like nothing else can. Check the list, and look at your relationship to determine if you have signs of exclusivity. Be open to having that discussion!

2. They create boundaries with their other friendships (and family members) to ensure that the relationship is protected. If they have opposite-s*x friendships, they establish boundaries to ensure that their significant other doesn’t have to question or wonder about anything.
3. They have nothing to hide. Nothing is off-limits. No question is too intrusive. Passwords are shared. They want you to know that they can be trusted; they want to put your mind at ease.
4. They are 100% committed to you. No-one else has their heart. They have made great strides in ridding themselves of soul ties, and they have completely ended and severed previous relationships.
5. They want to help you build your dreams. They have amazing suggestions and ideas, and they are ready to roll up their sleeves to help you build. They are not intimidated by your goals and dreams, because they know you want them to be a part of it!
6. They are ready to share you with the world. After they have vetted you with close friends, mentors, family members and spiritual leaders, they want to tell the world that you belong to them. They will start introducing you to their wider circle so that everyone becomes aware of the relationship.
7. There is discussion of marriage. Pre-marital counseling is scheduled with a professional therapist or spiritual leader (or both). The input of an objective, professional third party into the relationship helps to bring blind spots into view, and helps to bring an exclusive couple (who are compatible) even closer to each other.
8. They prefer spending their spare time with you over anyone else. They want to be in your presence just to experience you as much as they can. Their friends may tease them, but it doesn’t matter. You have become an important and vital part of their world, and they want everyone (including you) to know that!
Being loved exclusively is an amazing experience. To be treasured above everyone else, and to know that your lover has your back at all times adds an element of security and confidence to life like nothing else can. Check the list, and look at your relationship to determine if you have signs of exclusivity. Be open to having that discussion!

8 Ways to Confirm that You are in an Exclusive Relationship
With
so many people hooking up nowadays, including the “friends with
benefits” scenario, many are not sure if they are in a relationship or
in a “situationship”, a word I saw recently on social media.
Relationships are sometimes treated like clothing; some change them
almost daily. Then there are others who don’t mind sharing in intimate
relationships with multiple partners, which are many times unknown to
the other participants. Regardless of what we see in media, there are
many people who still have a strong desire for an exclusive
relationship. They want someone to refer to them as “mine”.
Here are eight ways to confirm if your relationship is exclusive:
1. You are their number one priority. If they are already parents, then their children will be their top priority, but thereafter, you are it. Your needs are met by them; they want to know how they can help and serve you in every possible way. They want to know ALL about you – the good and the bad. When they find out things about you that you may be ashamed of, they don’t run away. They also work hard to see you smile.
2. They create boundaries with their other friendships (and family members) to ensure that the relationship is protected. If they have opposite-s*x friendships, they establish boundaries to ensure that their significant other doesn’t have to question or wonder about anything.
3. They have nothing to hide. Nothing is off-limits. No question is too intrusive. Passwords are shared. They want you to know that they can be trusted; they want to put your mind at ease.
4. They are 100% committed to you. No-one else has their heart. They have made great strides in ridding themselves of soul ties, and they have completely ended and severed previous relationships.
5. They want to help you build your dreams. They have amazing suggestions and ideas, and they are ready to roll up their sleeves to help you build. They are not intimidated by your goals and dreams, because they know you want them to be a part of it!
6. They are ready to share you with the world. After they have vetted you with close friends, mentors, family members and spiritual leaders, they want to tell the world that you belong to them. They will start introducing you to their wider circle so that everyone becomes aware of the relationship.

6 Best Ways to Make Your Child Love Reading
Reading is unbelievably important in everyone’s life. It increases vocabularies, improves academic performances, and is an excellent way to wind down after a long day. When all of these things are combined, it’s easy to see how important reading can be to any child—especially one who doesn’t enjoy it. Read on for tips to instill a love of reading in your child. Best Ways to Make Your Child Love Reading 1. Teach them to love stories Fictional reading is comprised of stories, and once your child learns to love stories, it’ll be easier to enjoy novels and other books as well. This can be done in numerous ways: let her watch a movie and enthuse about the story behind it. Ask her, “Wasn’t that story interesting? Don’t you think everything that happened was so cool?” Another way to do so is by telling her a bedtime story. Ask her what she liked and how she can find other similar stories. 2. Be a role model Read books in front of them, preferably ones with interesting covers, and encourage them to ask questions. Answer with detailed answers about why you like this book and how the plot makes it interesting. Teach them that if you can love reading, they can too. 3. Get the help of librarians It might be difficult for you to pick out the just-right book for your child, but librarians are trained to do so. Let your child speak to the librarian himself the next time you go to the library, and get him to bring home at least one book to start. And when he does, drum up some excitement about it! Don’t bombard him questions, but do pepper his reading time with a few inquiries about how he likes it so far. 4. Make your library a regular stop Go there regularly, as soon as your child finishes a book or two, and make the visit enjoyable. Treat going to the library as regular as breathing. Make it a staple of your life, and your child will understand the importance of going to the library and checking out and enjoying books. 5. Make reading a game Be fun, creative, and upbeat about it, and your attitude will rub off on your child. For example: Answer the Question can be a game. Have your child finish a book, and ask him questions. The more questions he answers correctly, the more rewards he gets. But remember to keep these rewards small—extravagant gifts at first can seem harmless, but these can escalate into a spoiled child soon! 6. Respect books If one has fallen on the floor, pick it up immediately. If your shelf is disorganized, straighten it out and make sure your books are situated perfectly. Let your child see these activities take place and let her participate in them too—in fact, encourage her to treat books with the respect they deserve. Use these techniques and some others to get your child to enjoy and love reading. Remember to make the most of your local library and its employees!

7 Relationship Problems You Should Stop Arguing About
Posted by: tosin on July 20, 2014
As a marriage counselor, I see all sorts of couples in my office. They come to me with problems ranging from infidelity to not putting the cap back on the toothpaste. When they decide to go to marriage counseling, most couples have decided that their problems are so big that they need to get it sorted out — or else. However, there are a lot of problems couples have that aren’t really problems at all. They’re small enough that it’s not really worth the argument.
1. No s*x
As I said in another article, s*x is a healthy and important part of marriage. So it’s no wonder when couples fight about it — especially when they aren’t having it. The truth is, fighting about s*x is just making sure that it doesn’t happen for a while. Besides, lots of people have “dry spells”. Instead of sulking or arguing about it, try talking it through with your partner. Tell them exactly what you’re mad about and offer suggestions of what you both can do differently. Like I said, s*x is an important part of marriage so if it’s not happening much (or at all), then you may have some hard discussions ahead. But, just getting turned down once in a while is not a good reason for an argument.
2. My partner wants to have s*x all the time
Physical intimacy is the one thing that sets you and your partner apart from being roommates. Because of this, s*x is an important part of your marriage. It’s a unique way that you and your partner can express love, passion and romance that you can’t express with just anyone. So why complain when your partner wants to be intimate? It’s a great way to express love to each other. And it’s a lot more fun than browsing Facebook at night.
3. He or she doesn’t put the cap back on the toothpaste
I’ve never met someone who has divorced because their partner didn’t put the cap on the toothpaste. But I have seen plenty of couples argue about it (or something like it) over and over again. The truth is, it’s really not that big of a relationship violation and if it’s not worth divorcing about, it’s probably not really worth arguing about, either.
4. He doesn’t treat me like a princess
.
In the dating world, men are responsible to do everything. They’re supposed to be the ones to ask the girl out, they’re suppose to pay for the date and they’re supposed to treat their girl like a chivalrous knight in shining armor would. And if he does all this right, he gets rewarded with another date with her. Unfortunately, these unrealistic expectations set in the dating world don’t apply very well in marriage. A marriage is a partnership and expecting to be treated like a princess is expecting your husband to be a servant. Neither of these roles will work long-term in your marriage.
5. I shouldn’t have to ask — my partner should just know
In the business world, everyone knows you should communicate openly with your team — even over-communicate if possible. But there’s an unspoken expectation in marriage that you shouldn’t have to tell your partner what you want. If they really loved you, they would just know. Then, they should work their hardest to give you what you want. Instead of asking your partner to be “in tune” enough with you to know what you want, openly communicate your expectations just like you would at work. It’s a romantic idea that your partner magically knows what you want. It’s also a false one that has caused too many unnecessary arguments.
6. Who started it
“Well, I wouldn’t have done X if you wouldn’t have done Y.” I hate to break it to you, but just because your spouse did X, that doesn’t give you permission to do Y. In other words, you’re just as responsible for doing Y regardless of what your spouse did. Because of this, it doesn’t matter who started it. Each spouse is equally to blame. So, stop fighting about who started it and work together to try to find an ending to it.
7. Who said or did what and when
Remember at that Christmas party when your spouse did that one thing that really embarrassed you or made you angry? Well, it’s time to bury the hatchet and get over it. Fighting about things from the past will never do any good because you can’t go back in time and re-do them. Instead, focus on things in the present and what you can do today to repair the damage. Ask for specific things that will help you feel healed (see number 5 above) and give your spouse the opportunity to show you that he or she will do it.
These seven things are some of the most common arguments that happen in marriage. They’re also some of the most unnecessary ones. And, they usually cause a lot of hurt. When you stop these arguments, it’s amazing what you come up with instead. You’ll normally find that these arguments get replaced with good old fashioned communicating. And, a lot more fun with your spouse, too.
