his desire...her desire..one desire
And one day,
She wants to look into her husband's eyes and say:
Thank you for making 'wifehood' a pleasure.
Knowing very well that God does not force partners on people, she prays fervently about her partner and watches carefully. She eventually makes a single choice out of the lot on spiritual basis and direction.
She and her choice become great friends and they know that close friends are committed to the success of each other. Nonetheless they never forget that PERSONAL WHOLENESS IS CRUCIAL. They make their own lives better each day. They ensure that their purpose, dreams and aspirations are not short-lived. They both work on their education or careers as well.
One key thing is that, these two people start paying attention to the spiritual aspect of their relationship very early. They do not neglect this aspect, neither do they wait till it is too late. Moreover, they are aware that they need to have separate personal relationships with too. They work on this daily and consciously.
In their relationship, they believe in and prioritize INTIMACY OF SPIRIT AND MIND rather than intimacy of the body. They know what to do and what not to do. They have respect, love, care and concern for each other.
Finally, they decide to make vows and promises to each other before God, family and friends. BUT they know that A WEDDING IS JUST AN EVENT WHEREAS MARRIAGE IS A LIFE. Before this event, they go through series of teachings and they also take the initiative to do personal studies on marriage. These two people see marriage to be final and there is no exit once they enter into it.
These two individuals that have become ONE invest all these and more into their marriage because they know that their biological children and even others who look up to them deserve to live in a family environment that is SPIRITUALLY, emotionally and financially stable. They unknowingly evangelize to other people with their marriage, lives and comportment.
And with all these, indeed, he can look deeply into his wife's eyes and say... Thank you for making 'husbandhood' a pleasure.

Offender? Or Offended?
Someone has offended you, it is true! That person has wronged you. You are praying to be able to forgive the offender but within you, you wish the person could go through 'something similar' so he/she could understand what you are going through.
You are praying to God. Your offender is also praying to God to take his/her guilt away. Both of you are praying to the same God, for two different things, in fact two opposite things.
What happens? Who does God listen to? It is funny, isn't it? That is the reason why you should be able to forgive the offender.
Offender! That is why you should be able to ask for forgiveness and also to have and show great remorse for what you did. You also have to do your best to make up with the offended.

The ''counsellor'' has problems too... (excerpts) by Belinda M. Ahiaveh.
…You are the one your friends and others call ‘’the counsellor’’. Your words are encouraging and soothing. You know what to say to a friend at every point in time. Your intuition is great and it seems you almost always understand things before you are told. You dry tears with your smiles and words. Your jokes and laughter are resounding and they bring a form of restoration to people around you. Yours is to make and keep people happy. Distributing warmth subconsciously everywhere you go. Your desire is to show love everywhere you go; even loving the unlovable.
…but, your pain and stress are never noticed nor seen. Everyone is too busy receiving their share of your balminess and responsiveness… they fail to see you sometimes are in dire need of that gentle pat on the back or that long warm hug. Or is it that they do not simply think that you also have a phase of soreness and defenselessness??? In their minds you are a superhuman…
He craves for encouragement too…She yearns for smiles too…they ache for that simple act of love too…

Happy?
sad? PRAISE!!!!!!
Look around you. So much to be joyful and thankful for. Look
again, some situations that might not be too favourable at the moment. Just
look again, one main thing that is draining you so much of your energy.
Probably making you cry, anxious, hurt or depressed. To you, when that one
thing leaves, you believe you will be free forever. Could you use this
opportunity to make your life better? Be it increasing your prayer period
duration, word study period duration, having a praise and thanksgiving time for
God, getting your mind off that one thing by helping the needy through
volunteer works?
You are not a hypocrite to do any of these because you are going
through a difficult time. It actually becomes a part of you after some time.
You begin to do these things often, in the good times and in the challenging
times.
You do not focus on rough times...you focus on the good that you
can have out of it. With this,you please God during these times and trust in
His timing.
