Still at Mrs Kalu's office.

Mrs.Kalu: Like I said earlier, you need to go beyond just having sex with your wife. It's high time you started making love to her. Mr. Ken, do you love your wife?

Mr. Ken: Ewoo! Chineke! Madam ina ajukwa aju? Gwogwonu! Alovukam ya nu! Check out the new jeep I bought for her nu! I love her so much!

Mrs. Kalu smiled : I'm sorry love is more than cars and material things.
Mr. Ken: Ewoo! Kezi ihe ozo? What Again should I do to prove my love for her?
Mrs. Kalu: How do you feel whenever she cries out of pain you cause her in the name of exercising your conjugal right?

It all started when Mrs. Okolo came back from her shop, picked something from the bedroom and was about rushing back to her shop when her husband who has been waiting for her called out;

Mr. Okolo: Darling! Darling! Ewoo! I thought you’re through for the day? Where are you hastening to again?

Mrs. Okolo: To my shop ofcourse!

Mr. Okolo: No no no! Darling, I think this is getting out of hand! You came back from Dubai just yesterday after spending ten days there. Throughout the night, you were busy arranging your goods and you left the house very early in the morning. Even before you travelled to Dubai, it’s been like that. Don’t you think the vital part of you is beginning to suffer because of this business of yours?

Mrs. Okolo: What exactly do you mean by that?

Hello people! Compliment of the season.

You’re welcome to my world.

This is still serial blogging on The True Beauty Of A Home. I want to appreciate all those that have been following us from day 1. May you be equipped to enjoy happy home.

If you’re joining us for the first time, please do catch up with us at www.houseofdivineassets.blogspot.com for the previous series.

Yesterday we were at Mr. Chuks house and today, we want to know what happened.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

The True Beauty Of A Home 1

“A house is merely a place of shelter while a home is a garden of love and comfort. A mansion could be a house while a hut could be a home. Marriage is a union of two strangers who decided to become the best of friends. There’s no such thing like bad marriage. Every marriage is good but there are marriages where there are two people who vehemently refused to understand each other but take pleasure in fighting each other. We do not marry to compete each other, we marry to complete each other” – FrankChima Okorie

It’s heart breaking when marriage designed to be enjoyed turns out to be endured.  It hurts a lot when a house molded to be a home turns out to be a dreaded zone, even when it is a mansion with its high level of comfort. The question is, what in God’s name can make two lovers giggling on their wedding day suddenly despise each other to the extent of willingly signing divorce papers?

Reasons Why She Hasn't Accepted......

Hello gentle men in the house. It is your season. Last week we discussed on the possible "reasons why he hasn't proposed" and I believe that many of us learned a lot from the discussions we had. Today, we will be discussing on the possible "reasons why she hasn't accepted". There are times when a young man suffers rejection from a lady; it appears as a great shock, reason being that in worldly analysis, he's well to do. In fact such men are rated as every woman's dream. He's rich prince charming who has bagged several important certificates. In the real sense, every woman should run at his beck and call but this particular lady wouldn't just yield to his pleas. She did not only disappoint his expectations but verbally told him "no". What exactly could be the problem? Prince charming has seen hundreds of girls but there's something about this lady that keeps him captivated. So, what could be the problem? Why wouldn’t this lady yield?

Ladies, Please dress decently and neatly

This is another reason that may not go down well with some people. But as usual, truth must be discussed no matter how bitter it may sound or even taste.

Sweetheart, have you ever wondered why he can jump at hanging out with you even at odd hours but always come with excuses why he cannot take you to Mama or any of his family members? How's your dressing like? Does he say you're sexy when you wear skimpy dresses but scold his younger sister when she wears the same? Does he insists until his younger sister wears a decent dress? Why haven't you given a thought to this? You feel that he loves you and hates his own sister? Wake up girlfriend! A reasonable and responsible man can NEVER marry

Look Before You Leap!

Some relationship can be so unhealthy that people involved need to wake up from their slumber, to do something very fast before it gets too late. Any relationship that is not preparing you for the future, any relationship that is distracting you from the future, any relationship that is not building you in any way, any relationship that keeps puncturing and deflating your dream, any relationship that takes you away from God is not just unhealthy but destructive. Ladies, any man who threatens to break up a relationship with you, just because you want to maintain sexual purity until you're married, please lose him and let him go!

Work Stress And Marriage

As Mr. Uzo was driving home after a very hectic day under a very difficult boss, he was so depressed and annoyed. He kept mumbling to himself. “What kind of man is this Mr. Johnson? What manner of man can never be impressed by anybody? I have never seen this man impressed by anybody in this God forsaken office. Oh death! If not for the demise of Mr. Stephen my former boss, what could ever bring this man into my life? I mean, how can this man be treating me like a tart?

Living With a Strange Spouse

Ngozi woke up very depressed and could not drag herself out of the bed. She just coiled up under her duvet and continued gazing into the space. She later shifted her gaze to their wedding picture and said to herself, “How people change! What must have gone wrong? What happened to that loving, caring and charming man I fell in love with years back? He is now a total stranger. He snaps at me at every little provocation and doesn’t talk to me with much tenderness as he used to. He doesn’t care for me as before and he is almost turning me to a domestic worker.

When Marriage Has a Crack!

Wall stands as a protective object. Every wall has an object it shields and every wall cracks once in a while. Can a cracked wall be amended? What really happens when wall has a crack? When wall has a crack, it continues to crack and if the owner refused to mend it, it will get to a point where it will eventually collapse and the object it protects becomes vulnerable to attack.
Every marriage just like wall, suffers crack once in a while. Marriages have challenges here and there. It’s neither a crime nor abomination for marriages to face challenges.

Sex and Marriage

How come when people are single, they are so hungry to explore their sexual treasures, the first few years of marriage is filled with sex in different styles, at every nook and cranny of the house and at odd hours, but after the few years you see some people coming up with excuses? How come some married women are even handling love-making as one of the domestic chores you can ever think of? How come some men and women are seeing sex as a favor to their partners? How come some people actually serve it as ration? Can somebody tell me why a woman would starve her husband sexually, simply because he cannot meet up with some of her financial demands?

It Begins With You!

When you aspire to improve your circumstances, make sure that you are willing to improve yourself. It will be very wrong and out of place to pour clean water in a very dirty bowl and still expect the water to be clean. A man (both genders) that aspires for excellent results in his dealings should be willing to work on himself to be an excellent man. A man that wants to be successful should be ready to work for it because success doesn't just happen, people work for success. A man that desires integrity should be ready to radiate good character because integrity is the manifestation of character. It amuses me when young ladies and gentle men point out what they desire in their future husbands and wives.

The Beauty of Life 3

It is very common to hear people say, “I didn’t mean to say that. He misunderstood me. Her facial expression is very friendly. Her smiles can melt a heart of rock. He wears a strong face. She hardly smiles. He’s too difficult to work with because he keeps to himself. He believes he knows it all and can never admit he’s wrong, etc. All these and many more are different positive and negative way people communicate.

The Beauty of Life 2

I don’t know if you have ever found yourself in a situation where you were obviously angry but refused to accept that you were angry? It even got to the extent that you were ready to shout down the roof to prove that you were not angry even when your actions portrayed an extremely angry man? Have you ever found yourself in such situation? I have also met people that believe that they are born hot tempered and cannot do anything about it. The truth of the matter is that anger is an emotion and every emotion can be controlled, managed and kept in check.

The Beauty of Life

Have you ever wondered why it seems as if some people easily get whatever good they want from their friends, relatives, colleagues, etc. at a snap of their finger? Did I hear you say favor? Yes favor could be magical but is it possible that some people are favored all their lives while some are not? Better still, have you ever wondered why some people seem to get along with almost everybody that comes their way while some other people easily lose count of failed friendships, relationships and every word that ends with ‘ships’ in their lives?

Marriage is not for boys and girls.

Marriage is for men & women, not for boys and girls. Do not be deceived by age when we talk about marriage because there are 20year old men and 40year old boys. A 20 year old man may be young in age but quite equipped with sense of maturity. A 40year old man may be old age wise but very far from sense of maturity. Though he is growing old but he refused to grow up. He's simply man boy. Just as we have man boy, so do we have woman girl, so far from sense of maturity, growing old but not growing up. Friends, before you get married, pray as if your life depends on it & be WISE because marriage can make or mar you. Man boy/woman girl is simply bad news to marriage.

Ada woke up so sad and tired. As she heard a knock at the door, she quickly changed her countenance to avoid giving herself out. “Yes, come in.” Ada responded as the knock resounded repeatedly. Her mother came in looking so worried. “Mummy good morning” Ada greeted her mother and immediately stood up from the bed. She went to her drawers searching for nothing in particular, just to keep her mother’s curious and inquisitive eyes off her. “Good Morning my dear. Adanna, are you sure you are alright?” “Yes Mum.

Joe and Chris were having their usual after service chat in an eatery opposite their church. They usually sit together over a pack of juice and snacks to discuss their affairs and seek advice from each other, every last Saturday of the month. Joe started the discussion with a question after they had said a short prayer. “Enhee, my guy! I have been meaning to ask you this. It’s almost four months you’ve been on courtship with Rita but you’ve not said anything about her family? Is her family here in Lagos?” Chris immediately stood up and said to Joe, “Please let me place an order for our snacks.

Mr. Steve approached Mr. Tony with excitement written all over him after their weekly Christian youths meeting. ‘O boy! There’s something I’ve been meaning to share with you’ Tony replied, ‘Oh really? You sound so excited, man. What could be the secret of the excitement? Have you decided to go into courtship with your friend Blessing?’ ‘Nah!’ replied Steve. ‘Blessing is a good girl, a pretty girl with good character but she is not complete for what I desire in a woman’. Tony looked at him with eyes wide open and mouth agape and said, ‘Oh my God! I don’t seem to understand you guy!

‘Please Ada; I will like the ‘Aso-ebi’ for my friends to have blue background. The ‘Aso ebi’ for my in-laws should have a touch of red color, then green for my colleagues, yellow for my neighbors, lilac for my church members, pink for my neighbors’ As Joy was busy naming colors of uniforms popularly known as Aso-ebi to be used for her wedding , her closest friend Mercy interrupted her. ‘Hold on a minute Joy. What are all these colors for?’ ‘They are for Aso-ebi of course’. Joy replied. Mercy let out a thunderous laughter which got Joy a bit confused. ‘My friend, please wake up.
