Embracing the Journey of Marriage: Shared Values Matter

-

One of the most unfortunate situations that married people get into is having to “walk alone”. If you find yourself having different values, perspectives and goals from your partner on almost every ground then you’ll have to prepare for tough times.


Navigating life alone is hard enough. Having to deal with a partner who’s not committed is a different kind of hardship. It’s better to get it right before you sign up for the trip of a lifetime.


Marriage is an incredible journey, filled with twists, turns, and beautiful moments along the way. It's not just about reaching a destination, but about savoring every step of the path together. 


Choosing a partner who shares your core values is like having a compass that guides you both in sync. When you align in what truly matters, you build a foundation that withstands any storm. 


Imagine a road trip where both travelers have the same destination in mind. They appreciate the scenery, support each other during challenges, and celebrate victories together. That's the magic of shared values in marriage.


It's these shared values that fuel the journey and propel you forward. They are the driving force behind decisions, the comfort in tough times, and the joy in shared triumphs. It takes two committed souls, walking hand in hand, to navigate this journey with grace and resilience.


So, remember, it's not just about finding someone to share a life with, but someone who shares your vision for that life. Together, you'll not only reach your goals but revel in the adventure along the way. Here's to choosing a partner with whom the journey is just as precious as the destination.

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where one

Navigating the Ups and Downs of Life

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times—those
