Laying Foundation For Unity
Foundation is the most important part of a building that is not visible. How well a structure stands is determined by the quality and the right mix of materials the builder puts in. It takes discipline on the part of the builder to follow the structural specification of a construction so as to have a good strong and durable structure. The need to adhere to specification of instructions for marital unity is vital.
Unity is a catalyst to an enduring and enjoyable marital life. Lack of unity in marriage brings resentment, and if not checked, could develop into hatred. This could graduate to enmity. More marriages have become a thorn in the flesh of couples because they lack unity.

Building Unity In Marriage: Our Story (Part 1)
Over-rating yourself or under-rating your spouse, in a marriage relationship, could destroy the unity of your marriage. Likewise the mindset that your spouse should be perfect in all things - in an imperfect world. It is setting yourself up for disappointment. Your marriage can be likened to a fertile, virgin land bequeathed you. Whatever you plant will be manifested by the quality of your harvest. You must plant and water your seeds before you can expect harvest.

Calling Into Being
For every human being, there is power to call into being what is desired. It is an inbuilt, divine ability and asset for individuals to trade with in life. Whether you know it or not is not the matter.
Whether you apply it or not, the truth is that you have it.
Until you resist them, negative situations continue to besiege your success. The Word says “give no room to the devil, resist him and he will flee”.

Seeing Beyond The Skeletons In Your Life
Nigeria is blessed with committed faithful, honest and contented spiritual leaders. One of them is the Bishop of Bishops of our time, Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
Each time I read his teachings, it is like God is instructing me. My heart is drawn with understanding. He is one of our fathers that steadfastly guide us into spiritual and intellectual maturity.
Recently, my family read one of Baba Adeboye’s daily teaching which I am convinced will bless some of my readers.

Unfortunate Situations Of Marriage
The understanding of marriage or what marriage is and marital life is different to different people.
Nigeria is a country blessed with different ways of life, and beliefs and this explains why marriages are struggling.
By understanding, a house is established. For lack of understanding, people go into exile (wrong choice, living with somebody who is not for you). Marriage is living in bondage to many. While people of understanding are living in paradise though on earth.
Knowing the how and why of marriage is the starting point for enjoyable and lasting marital relationship.

Are You With Your Right Rib?
On this column, I can never be tired of reminding my readers about the purpose of marriage, and why if you fail in marriage, your life cannot be said to be complete.; for marriage is about caring. You are made to care and for people to care for you.
A man who fails to find his missing rib misses it all. The responsibility of searching is for the man; he must discover and bring to his own abode his own rib in order to be a complete, fulfilled man.

Favoured Child: Do You Have One? (Part 2)
It is an established fact that there are fathers and mothers who have a favourite child among their children. It is not as if it is bad to do so, it is natural, as it happened in the case of Isaac and Rebekah for Esau and Jacob. The same happened to Jacob in the case of his loved child, Joseph. The bad aspect of this type of close affinity with other children and sometimes one’s spouse is when it becomes a family divisor.
For example:
(1) When a spouse spends much time with the child neglecting others.

Favoured Child: Do You Have One? (Part 1)
Children are God’s heritage, the reward that suits couples who find God’s favour to have them. Giving birth to children is a privilege; not by power or might but by His mercy.
For every child born into a family, they come with their unique favour from both parents. But there are children whose uniqueness of favour stands distinct, either as a result of the circumstances surrounding their birth or just by divine aura surrounding the child.
