𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒, 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒

Just yesterday, I met a long time friend of mine who is now a pastor. As we discussed a length, he also shared his proposal experience after telling him my proposal story how I was turned down by ladies in my church due to financial instability then.

𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐇𝐞 said, when he finished proposing to the lady, she just started laughing. For more than 5 mins, she kept on laughing at this pastor. The pastor told me how he started checking himself up and down to be sure he did not poo on his body.

She laughed at him mockingly and she just left him there and she walked away.

The pastor told us that, after he became a pastor and went back to that church to serve, the father of that lady was one of the people that gave him so much honor. Her father will call this pastor , "Ete nyin ke Obong' , meaning, our father in the Lord.

Now, hear the concluding part of his story, he said, before that sister could marry, several prayers were made for her. Prayer warriors prayed! Church members prayed! Her case became a concern to everyone around her. She was so old in age before she could Sha manage to marry.

Don't misunderstand this post, I am not saying her marital delay was caused because she despised that pastor by laughing him to scorn. I am also not ruling out the possibility of that reality too. It might be that, she became a laughing stock Martially because she laughed at that brother mockingly.

Dear single ladies, let me say this to you. It is a privilege that a guy can come and propose to you. Whether he meets your standard or not. Whether he is fine or ugly. Whether he is educated or illiterate. It is an honor and privilege that men can approach you for marriage. There are many of your mates who are naked and roaming the streets as mad ladies despite their beauty and brain.

Even if you will not accept the marriage proposal of a guy, please, never laugh at him. Either openly or in your heart, never laugh at any guy mockingly lest you become a laughing stock Martially. Every marriage proposal you want to turn down should be turned down without crushing the ego and the esteem of that brother.

Many ladies are so proud of themselves in this generation! You look and treat guys as if they are trash just because they come to propose to you. You are using them to play game. You make jest of their weaknesses and downplay their strengths. Watch it lady! You are trending a dangerous road! If you continue like that, you will get to a point of delay in marital bus stop where you will be saying , 'Lord, just give me anybody"

Every child of God that comes to propose to you should be treated as a kingdom celebrity. There is a way you will say 'No' to a proposal and you will not kill or crush the Spirit of that brother.

This is my fatherly warning to all single ladies, please, don't laugh at any guy that comes to you lest people laugh at you when you are left behind Martially.

Let me beg those of you brothers who have been maltreated , mocked , insulted and laughed at by ladies just because you proposed love to them, please, forgive them and pray for them because they don't know what they were doing. Let your heart heal up and pray for them.

YOUR WIFE IS YOUR LIFE PARTNER NOT LIFE SERVANT

I cringed today when a man said if his wife does something he ‘commands’ her not to do, he'd send her out of his house back to her parents; that it's very wrong for a woman to disobey her husband no matter what. Well, I couldn't hold my chill, I opposed him passionately and he resorted to calling me a kid; “You won't understand till you get married.” That's always how they sound. Very manipulative old folks. Please single guys, when you wanna get married, just remind yourself that the woman you're getting married to will be your life partner, not your servant. You ain't doing her a favor by getting married to her, so don't ever feel that sending her back to her parents means she'll die or lose her womanhood. Your wife is not your errand girl, she's like a colleague and she's important like you in that marriage, so you don't command her to do things, you don't just give orders, No! Both of you are to reach a stand...

THINGS THAT TURN ON WOMEN

For many women, their turn-on aren’t just about a man’s looks, independence and sense of humor there are some unpredictable things that turn them on as well. So what are some of those other qualities that women find so attractive? Find out here. 1. The Color Red: - Men garbed in red are proven to attract more attention from women because the color is an attention getter. The color red is also viewed as a dominant color that indicates power and masculinity, and prolonged viewing of the color causes the female body to increase adrenaline secretion and raise blood pressure. 2. Sweat And Body Odor: - Contrary to popular belief, not all women like the smell of a guy covered in cologne. Some women like the natural smell of a man, just the way he is. Studies show that Androstadienone, a chemical compound found in male sweat, increases blood pressure, boosts hormone levels and raises the rate of breathing in women (Don’t abandon showers though!) 3. A Deep Voice: - ...

MARITAL EXPECTANCY OF MEN

One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet , one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be. These different expectations are rarely communicated out loud because most newlyweds naively believe that they are so in sync with their spouse that the unspoken expectations are exactly the same. This is never the case. Two different individuals with two different personalities coming from two diff...

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Etuk grinned when he saw his daughter, Idara and the husband Ime walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of Mkpat Enin to Uyo to spend the Easter Holidays. This his  in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago.  After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Idara? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids, they mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ime, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said: "it is the kids of course; they are the reason why ...

HOW MOST WIVES LOOK OLDER THAN THEIR HUSBANDS

Many a time , I remember hearing that it is better for a lady to marry a man reasonably older than her so that she do not end up looking older than him. The source of this advice I do not know, well, we can easily classify it as one of old wives’ tales. There is hardly any girl growing up in this country who didn't hear that. Many are still guided by it till today , others couldn't be bothered. However, things have changed drastically, these days we have women who are far older than their husbands and are happily married. But if women tend to look older than their husbands even when they are age mates or younger than their husbands, what happens to women who are already older than their husbands even before they marry? I have seen young women transform into old women soon after they become wives and mothers. When they step out with their husband they look more like the aunty or even the mother. To many it is normal, and even ‘expected’, but I have often wondere...
