As you get older you realise that first red flag that you ignored will be the reason you break up 2 years later.
And you will regret not walking away that first time.
I love you Onyi 💜 and I love your idea. But childbirth, I think, is not the greatest sacrifice in marriage. Neither is it the biggest offer that can be brought to the table. The biggest sacrifice is "leaving one's father and mother and cleaving to one's spouse."
I say this because, if a woman is unable to give birth to a child, does that mean she can't offer anything? The biggest sacrifice is saying "yes, I will marry you," "yes, I'll do life with you."

Nobody talks about the stage of grief where you can't even talk about it to anyone anymore because everyone expects you to be getting over it but it still runs through your mind everyday.
nobody extends grace anymore and it’s so sad. life is hard for everyone. you miss one birthday and now you’re an enemy, you forget to do something and now you’re unreliable. Always extend grace because you don’t know how many times it’s been extended to you.
the more I understand the gospel, the more I see it’s not about forcing yourself to stop sinning. it’s about loving God so much that sin loses its pull.
