In marriage, probably 10% of conflicts are actually due to a difference in opinion ... and 90% are due to someone using the wrong tone of voice.
Watch your tone.
Premarital counselling is the most important aspect of wedding preparation. Yet most people getting married don't take it seriously. 🤦🏻♂️

No marriage will thrive without MUTUAL RESPECT.
If one person is constantly taken for granted or made to feel inferior, there'll be no intimacy.
Your partner's opinion and suggestions matter.

Learn to look past your spouse's actions and look to their heart and intentions.
Most times, they truly didn’t mean to hurt or disrespect you.

When you stretch your truth to the point where your "truth" begins to contradict what is clearly written on other scriptures, then the problem starts.
The real problem is that no matter how well you teach it, even the people who seem to listen to you will still be uncomfortable even if they don't say this to you personally.
So long as when they open their bibles to read they find scriptures that contradict what you are saying they will not be at peace.
This has been the experience of everyone who starts teaching "strange" things from the scriptures. The first step to receiving revelation is knowing this first.....as spelt out by Peter the Apostle.
2 Peter 1:20-21
"20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
Know this, the law of scriptural interpretation is that scriptures must be used to find out what the scriptures are truly saying. You can't quote a scripture or portion of scripture in isolation violating what is clearly stated in another part of the Word.
If your relationship with your spouse is bad, your sex life cannot be good.
Want to improve your sex life in your marriage? Improve your marriage by working on your friendship, your communication, and your spiritual and emotional intimacy.

How to reduce potbelly:
1. Avoid sugars: soda, honey, fruit juice, etc, will make you add weight.
2. Eat vegetables: cabbage, cucumber, spinach, etc, helps reduce fats.
3. Eat proteins: meats, fish, eggs, etc, helps build lean weight.
4. Intermittent fasting: is good for your weight and body functions.
5. Hit the gym 4-5X/week: lift weights preferably, no matter how small, it's good for your muscles
6. Say goodbye to alcohol: it causes fatty liver and stresses out your liver.
7. Reduce your stress level: have rest periods, or protected hours.
8. Rest more: specifically, have sufficient 6-9 hour of sleep/day.
9. Drink more water: is good for your metabolism, weight loss and body functions.
Repost: for others.
Regretting your decision to marry your spouse, and wishing you never did, will not make your home better. It will only make things worse.
Instead, seek to improve yourself, seek to understand your spouse, and find ways to address the problems you have.

COUNSEL TO PARENTS & INTENDING PARENTS
(A thread 🧵)
1. No child is a mistake, irrespective of the circumstances surrounding their birth. Every child born into this world has a destiny by God.
You might not have planned for that child, but he/she is a gift from God!
Our very 1st picture together, September 2010, after she agreed to be my "friend" 😎 😄.
I had just graduated from medical school 3 months earlier, while she was still a student in Bingham University, Abuja.
We got married 2 years 7 months later. 🥰🥰

GOD'S PLAN:
Godly man meets godly woman, raise godly children in a godly home environment.
Once an ungodly person is involved, it can change the whole dynamics, and this is one reason for many marriage crises and dysfunctional children.
