Marriage & Money... How should couples harmonize their Finances with their Marriage? Part 1

From years gone by to the present, the dimensions of marriage has evolved. Dimensions of the conditions put forward before entering into a marriage, extending to materialistic aggrandisement. Sounds puzzling doesn't it? Unfortunately, that's exactly what marriages have become in the twentieth century. Though nothing is wrong with planning, setting goals and preparing for the different stages of where your marriage will go, being great money managers can assist your marriage in thriving and surviving. A marriage union ought to be sacred and beautiful but it can only remain that way, if both parties can meet on  common ground, financially. Don't be mistaken, I am in no way saying that finances should be equal between a couple. That would only be ignorance on another degree. There would be marriages where the wife is a housewife, a husband chooses to be a house- husband, an ill spouse and where both parties are working. However, what is key importance here, is how the c...

Knowing when to Let Go.

In a world that is ever changing, most people would have thought that the skill of adaptation ought to be practiced in every situation. Of course, change is inevitable but not all changes are acceptable and they certainly do not force us to do so. However, when it pertains to ones happiness, it must be realized that ones power to choose can either effect change or, hinder it. Letting go is one of those things that can give you either result, but what are the determining factors to aid us in deciding when to pull the plug? Throughout the journey of life, lessons are taught, some are direct and others, not so much but letting go is one of those things that we teach ourselves. I'm not saying that we should make "letting go" a habit because that only proves commitment issues but rather, to acknowledge that we deserve more. Whether it be a past experience, a friendship, a relationship or even grief, detaching one's self from a thing takes willpower. As I was ent...

Make your Summer Unforgettable.

The season of travel and unexpected fun is here but besides defying gravity with a flight to some where beautiful, there are numerous things you can do to make this Summer a landmark memory. School semesters are nearing the end and everyone appears determined to do some of the wildest things but I believe we're forgetting a few things. Vacations are always a welcomed event and dare I say much needed. What's also a need is a redirected thought process to get us back on track. However, you'd be surprised to know that a memorable Summer does not require traveling at all. Whether you are single, dating or married, never neglect the right to have some alone time for personal gratification. I've realised that most people have become so busy to the point where they forget to set boundaries for breathing space. Time lost can never be restored and time wasted is an opportunity

7 Ways to bring the Fire back to your Marriage.

The old chant says "First comes love then comes marriage, and then comes the baby in a baby carriage" . This childish banter still exists but it's becoming clearer to me, that some people take it into Adulthood and marriage is seen as just that - "Marriage" and then the rest. It is no lie that marriage isn't easy and although difficulties will arise from time to time, we must understand when and how to revive the relationship. A marriage will face the battle of financial stress, infidelity, lies and abuse but after determining the desire to stay together, it takes resilience to save a marriage. Of course, counselling is always advised but after you leave the Marriage Counselor, then what? After gathering information over time, many things stood out to me as to why we have so many failed marriages and unhappy unions. A general overview shows that a lot of couples have lost their desire to put effort into the marriage either because they've become unint...

Being comfortable with One’s Sexuality; building Confidence by its Expression.

Safe evaluation has made it apparent that the world around us is sexually stifled. Men and women are walking around with the silent issue of their own sexual frustration. One may ask, “How can that be possible?” I understand your confusion, given the free accessibility to pornography and the way it’s transforming today’s society but such assumptions are deathly wrong. Frankly, being aware of the different ways intercourse is practiced and enjoying its entertainment in no way, denotes our sexuality. Matter of fact, I wish to take you on a journey to discover your very own sexuality, shockingly by embracing every part of your being in the mirror!

Is there a right time to say "I Love You"?

Most days, I like to force myself into thinking that the majority of people in our world are capable of logical thinking and on others; the reality sets in. The reality of watching the one thing every human has in common to crave, either implodes, explodes or  on the good days - flourishes. Not very long ago, I was asked the question - Do people say the words "I love you" too quickly? Instantly I had thoughts that were plenteous and too colourful to mention at the time but I am more than happy to share some of my honest findings and experiences here; of course all in good stead to benefit peoples of the world, looking for the answer. As humans, we rely a lot on our feelings and emotions. Sadly though, "feelings" and "emotions" do not always lead us right and in the field of love - that's where we get hurt the most. Do you remember your first boyfriend/ girlfriend in High School? You felt and thought it was love right? You thought you were special ...
