Is this peculiar or general?

I met an old friend some two weeks ago, in a supermarket, whom I haven't seen in about 10 years. She was standing right beside the shelve where I wanted to pick an item. So in a bid to excuse her, I wanted to greet before asking her to excuse me, and because of the size and stature of the person right in front of me, I had to say “Good evening ma, could you please excuse me” #yorubathings, lol! And as she was going to respond, she looked at me and behold, she was my classmate back in the university. She screamed my name, “Hey hey, how have you been? How is the family, work and all?”. After exchanging all the pleasantries you can imagine, I couldn't help myself but ask her “What happened to you? How did you get to this size?”. Maybe I should mention here that my friend was a size 10 when we were in school but seeing her now, she should be wearing between size 18 and 20, depending on the designer and cut of the cloth, and was looking about 5 months pregnant.

How much information should be given during courtship?

Dear Readers, 

We have a letter from one of our readers, he needs our honest and sincere advice. Please see the letter below:

Good day Moderator,

Let us just say my name is anonymous. I have been married for a little less than one year, and marital life has been good until about 4 months ago when my wife took ill and was rushed to the hospital after she collapsed at the office and was unconscious.

After she became conscious, we went to see the doctor at his request, where he started counselling on how to manage the situation until further treatments commence. I was so shocked because I had thought it was kind of pregnancy induced illness. As soon as the doctor saw the rude shock on my face, he asked her “Madam, why is Uncle shocked? Is he not aware?” Without hesitation, I asked “aware of what”? The revelation I was privy to opened a new chapter in my life and our marriage.

Sexting....

Sexting is a the new flirting concept now especially among youths and teens and even young adults. The word is derived from sex and texting and it is a concept where mobile devices are used to send and receive sexually explicit messages.

Wrong reasons to get married.

Last week, we rounded up our series on meeting the need of our spouses, I appreciate your feedback both in the comment section and phone calls. Some agreed with me that unmet need can lead to unhappiness, frustration  and ultimately extra marital affair, but some believed that it is not possible to meet our spouse needs 100%. Well, maybe or maybe not, but I will recommend we watch a movie titled TEMPTATION: CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR by Tyler Perry, we will understand what could happen to anyone whose needs are not met in marriage.

Now let's move on to what we have to discuss this week.
