What makes marriages work

I had a chat with a friend of mine Philip (not real name). That was yesterday January 4th. Philip is a bachelor between the ages of 39-41 years. So I chipped in with marriage concept. 'Philip, I hope you are going to get married this year?' I jokingly asked. He affirmed his willingness to marry this year but with a condition that he finds what he called a 'wife material.'
''Wife material' is local vocabulary that means a virtuous woman. There is also a 'husband material' which refers to a bachelor or man of impeccable character.
Well I asked Philip if he has also made himself a husband material.
This kind of mindset of looking for Mr or Miss Right has kept somany unmarried. And I think it's when you don't have the right mindset about a system that you begin to see the system flawless.
With due respect, everyone has the right to choose his or her ideal partner.
But in doing so, understand that:

1)The Beauty of every ideal marriage is the combined efforts of the partners.
2)He or she who dreams of a beautiful marriage must be prepared to pay the sacrificial prices.
3)Every 'wife material' also looks forward to partnering with a 'husband material' so also is the man.
4)No such happy and fulfilled matrimony is without flaws or challenges.

You cannot be a a missed fit to look for Mr/Miss Fit to marry.
Assuming Philip is not an ideal man for marriage in a general term and he finds a pretty gorgeous and virtuous woman for Marriage, do you think such union will harmonise?
'Wife material,' money, Power, wealth and love, yes the almighty love are not the fundamental components that make marriages work.
I say this because people have been in love yet their marriages crashed.
There are also crashed marriages of wealthy, influential sexy people
The fundamental component that makes a marriage work is Commitment. Yes, and commitment from both partners. If both partners are committed wholeheartedly to leaving together in Love no matter the flaws or challenges, certainly that marriage will work.
Remember he who dreams of a beautiful marriage must be ready to pay the sacrificial prices.
God bless our homes.

Father Mbaka drums support for the re-election bid of President Buhari

The spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka has expressed once again, his unalloyed support for the election of President Muhammadu Buhari for fighting corruption.
Father Mbaka made the declaration during his crossover night service with his supporters on Tuesday 31st December 2018.
According to a report in Punch newspaper, 'A President that is fighting corruption needs to be supported' Mbaka said.
Father Mbaka described the President as one with the best agricultural programs and other infrastructural developments. He enjoined his supporters to pray for Mr President and pray against what her termed 'impending unimaginable dificulty' in the year.

“We pray for President Muhammadu Buhari; he is a man who understands the situation. Since Nigeria started, we have never experienced a President that has agricultural programmes like him.

“For 16 years, the road from Anambra to Enugu was overgrown with weeds but within four years, the road is being reconstructed and the same way they are doing it to Umuahia. This one that remembered us, may God bless him.

“Four years doesn’t mean eight years; he has finished his four years. I pray for peaceful transition that he may complete his remaining four years. He will hand over to a better person, may the Lord keep him. When he was sick, he was almost dead and we said prayer and God granted him healing. God knows the purpose for allowing him to be alive; if God doesn’t want him, he could have died.

“The roads that were not going has started going. A lot of things are happening now which nobody knows. May the lord protect Buhari; it shall be well with our President.''

The Quote of the day

I understand that most times we continue to procastinate because we've not had enough of the resources. But hey! Do you know that some of those resources are hidden into the system and except you start, they'll continue to seem afar.-Chisom UdoChukwu Anyanwu.

When you have a project of about $3000. Of course, you don't have that amount available but have $200 ready. The human nature in its comfort zone, will tend to wait until all the resources are available even when what's available is enough for a start.
Don't wait for tomorrow to start that project or that dream. The best time is now using what you have.
Consistency, dedication and commitment are the primary keys to our greatness and never money or such things  that have continued to swallow your dreams.
I understand that most times we continue to procastinate because we've not had enough of the resources. But hey! Do you know that some of those resources are hidden right into the system and except you start, they'll continue to seem afar.
When you have such long distance say five thousand miles to cover. It's extremely impossible to jump from the cradle to the final point and avoiding direct contacts with the steps between.
But with a gradual movement from cradle to step one, then to two, three and so on, your goal achievement is guaranteed. A thousand and one miles journey begins with such thing as simple as a step forward (right or wrong direction, yes a step forward in the right or in the wrong direction).
Similarly the achievement of your dream cannot just coming to you. You must have direct or indirect contacts beginning with the available, to get it done.
What you have is enough to get started, just get started, forget where it will take you to, focus on where you'r going to.
Waste no more time, let's go to work.
