Tips For a Successful Relationship.

Tips for a successful relationship by Ogiri John Ogiri.

Success in a relationship is a function of mutual respect and understanding between the parties involved in such a relationship.  Whatever your partner doesn't like or  is not comfortable with, please don't do it. Remember that when you hadn't met him or her yet , when you were still alone, you could do whatever pleased you. But now that you're in a relationship with that special person, you must understand that your opinion alone shouldn't count anymore. Seek her opinions.  Listen to her suggestions.

In addition, Live by the precept of the Golden Rule " Do to others what you want them to do to you. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you." 
If it hurts you, know that it hurts her more. If it can hurt you, know that it can hurt him the more. Don't be selfish.

Further more, if you hear anything bad or negative about your partner, don't start getting mad without finding out the truth yourself. Who knows? That information or story may not be true after all. Or do you think it's everyone that can be happy or comfortable seeing you happily married? The devil can use anyone ( your mother, father, brother, sister, even your so-called good friends ) to destabilize your relationship and keep you unmarried. You must resist his wicked antics. Some are just happy with you for as long as you remain unmarried. So watch out! 
Finally, don't neglect the divine element of prayer in your relationship. If you can not be proud of your relationship before God, then quit it. That's an unholy relationship. An individual in a good and holy relationship won't hesitate to go to God in prayer with his or her partner. Ask your partner to go to God in prayer with you. Whenever you're alone with yourselves when no one is watching, ask him or her to kneel down and pray with you for the success of the relationship. Do this often.
Have a focus. Don't just date for the fun of it. Know why you're dating. This is important so that you don't regret in the end. It's very unfortunate that so many young people are currently in a relationship which direction they can't confidently and honestly tell. They are just there to while away time or just having fun. How can you be whiling away your life without having a rethink?  Examine your relationship today and you will understand what I am talking about.
May God grant us success in our relationships. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ remain with you. May God see you through in your relationships.
Stay blessed.

Why We All Need Philosophy

MARK MANSON WHY WE ALL NEED PHILOSOPHY   Mark Manson 1 day ago “To win true freedom, you must be a slave to philosophy.” —Epicurus T he great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was once sitting in a park having a philosophical discussion with a friend when his friend, quite animated, stood up and said loudly, “That  is  a tree! I  know  for a  fact  that that is a tree!” An awkward pause ensued as the two men realized that passersby had stopped and were now staring at them. Wittgenstein, thinking quickly, turned to the people and said, “Do not worry, this fellow is not insane… we are merely doing philosophy.” When most people think of philosophy, they likely imagine indecipherable books that stretch on for a thousand pages, saying and solving nothing. They envision stuffy old men in misbuttoned shirts, untied shoelaces with mismatched socks, shuffling about hallways of some archaic university, mumbling to themselves, completely unaware of the humanity aro...

Polygamy Vs Homosexuality

Polygamy in Africa Polygamy Several times,I have regurgitated over and over again on two diametrically-opposed anomalies in the church of today -Polygamy and gay union, particularly in the Western world. I have wondered why the one,polygamy, predominantly practised by Africans before the advent of the white colonialists and their Christian missionaries, should be denounced and passed as evil by the whites who brought us Christianity and the churches while its twin,Gay Union, is tolerated, elevated and applauded by the same whites in the church. In the US and Europe, Polygamy is discouraged while gay union is vigorously encouraged, pursued and promoted. In fact,it belongs in the public policy of many Western Nations today as a powerful determinant of how much aids the Less Developed Countries (LDCs) can get from them. The question is why? Which between the two can be more morally reprehensible and disgusting -Polygamy or gay union? Even the churches whose missionaries told ...

Idoma Language: A Rich Lingua Franca On Its Way To Extinction!

Photo Credit: Every Every NG By Ogiri John Ogiri Let me begin this write up with a paraphrase of a statement attributed to the late Kenyan literary sage, Professor Ngugi Wa Thiongo. According to him,every language is rich in knowledge.So,when a language dies,the knowledge contained in such a language equally dies. Again, in one of his interviews with the Germany's DW TV in 2008, he said "if you know all,and I mean all the languages of the world and you do not know your mother tongue, that is enslavement. If you know your mother tongue and add all the languages of the world to it,that is empowerment" It is saddening, however, to know that many Idoma people today by choice seem to be on the side of deliberate enslavement instead of choosing empowerment by first learning their mother tongue before adding other languages to it. It may interest you to know that the Idoma language is the second most spoken language after TIV language in Benue state. It is spoken by ...
