Singlehood is not a disease. It's a phase. But you need to know why you're single or waiting. This will help you know how to handle the period

YOUR NATURE AND NURTURE AFFECT YOU


Okay, so a friend sent this video to me and as usual, I sought people's thoughts on it.. And the responses were wow (with one shocking 😳 response)


All responses pointed to the fact that our nature and nurture will always affect our reactions and responses to people and issues whether negatively or positively. Working on them (nature and nurture) to become better will help us response or react to issues appropriately.


Issues like temperaments, personality, exposure, past experiences, trust, openness, understanding, maturity, communication and listening skills among others, need to be worked on to be better respondent to people and issues. These also need to be worked on and sorted before going into a relationship.


Good and beautiful marriage is still obtainable but it requires conscious efforts.


I hope the Regional Manager and Tunde are matured people who have worked (or are working) on themselves. It would help the situation a while lot.


Thanks to everyone that participated in this small survey😁💪👍. I appreciate all responses as they all made a whole lot of sense. I'm sorry if I couldn't post your response (shebi you know why).

As either one of the women or the man, what would you do?

How do you think they should sort this out?

Quite a number of singles are so preoccupied with the thoughts of getting married that they forget the essence of their existence on earth.

Definitely, marriage is beautiful but a number of married people who have erroneously believed while single, that marriage is the end of life and have neglected the essence of living, have gotten stuck after marriage because they discovered that there's more to life, and then, the struggles to find that more starts to affect their marriage.

I remember what a wise man once told me when I got frustrated about some setbacks I experienced in some major areas ofmy life and I was putting off the thought of achieving them until I get married. He said that the responsibility of achieving greatness which we place on other people, including our intending spouse, to help us with, can only be met by God. He advised me to keep achieving purpose and living, whether married or not.

So, have you thought or do you usually think about this, *"after marriage, what next?"*

Do you have an idea of your essence on earth and are you walking in the right path to achieving it or you're just waiting for the miracle of marriage to happen before you start living?

Marriage may not come as expected or planned. So, waiting in idleness is dangerous for you and will affect you negatively when you finally get married. Remember, the idle mind is the workshop of the devil and it's usually difficult to take it back from him once he takes over such a mind.

So, start living, affecting lives positively and finding fulfilment in whatever you are doing or have chosen to do NOW.

It's not every every argument you get into. It's not every point you prove.

In fact, resist the urge to ALWAYS shalaye (explain).

Do you know your love language?

Do you know your partner's love language?

How have you been communicating?

David was anointed to be the ruler (king) of God's people. The 'anointing' was done by the very renowned Prophet Samuel, so it's cwrtain God Himself chose David. And so, you'd expect him to go straight to the palace, atleast to start getting use to being a king

He instead went back to the bush and continued being a shepherd boy, tending the sheep and keeping them from attacks.

Then, when it seemed his journey to the palace should begin (when he killed Goliath and became King Saul's in-law), wahala started... and these attacks and battles almost took his life several times

He faced so many life threatening challenges. At times, he'd cry and pen some emotional words (Psalms) to God. Other times, when he had victories, he'd praise God. Yet that journey to the palace was looking impossible.

But he kept one thing in his mind and that is; "I'm still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." And he didn't only see it, he became it, lived it and enjoyed it.

What are you going through now that seems would take your life? Are you almost getting tired and probably doubting God's promises to you?

Don't give up yet. Be encouraged by this Shirley Caesar's song, "you may not know how, you may not know when, but He'll do it again."

Have this confidence, that you will still see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (and not the dead).

In life, each one of us will face an emotional crossroads but we must take responsibility for our actions. The emotional choices we make daily have impacts on our lives. Life has a way of giving back to you, in the future, the consequences of the decisions you make now.

Watch the choices or decisions you make. Don’t hastily make irrational decision due to the circumstance you are facing or going through.

It is better to pause and be calm before making a decision than making a decision one will later regret. Ask God to help you make the right choice or decision. He will surely help.
