I Love My Spouse.
I Love My Spouse :
No Be For Mouth.
Marriage and Farming has a lot in common just like the farmer gives water,manure and the creator provides water,sunshine and air for a plant to grow and blossom so also does the husband and wife be determined to have a blossoming union by watering their union with love, care, understanding and lots more for the marriage to grow and wax stronger.
Saying the words "I love my spouse" means nothing until it is backed up by concrete steps and actions to complement the statement. New research on martial satisfaction underscores the importance of having fun in a relationship.
Stony Brook University Social Psychology Researchers Irene Tsapelas and Arthur Aron,along with University of Michigan Researcher Terri Orbuch,interviewed a representative U.S sample of 123 married couples seven years into their marriage,and then again,nine years later,16 years into their marriage,and found that those who felt bored in their marriage at 7 years were significantly more likely to feel bored and less satisfied after 16 years of marriage. The researchers asked couples questions like,"During the past months,how often did you feel that your marriage was in a rut,that you do the same thing all the time and rarely get to do exciting things together as a couple",it was found that boredom at 7 years was correlated to increased boredom even 9 years later.
Aaron has done previous research on couples that has shown that when couples go through new experiences and challenges together,marital satisfaction increases. thereby it is advice able for couples to maintain high levels of marital quality over time,couples need to make their lives together exciting.
Terri Orbuch a Psychologist and Author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great recommends that couples talk to each other for at least 10 minutes a day,but not about work,family or the relationship "our partners change overtime,and there are new things going on with them". Questions like "If you could start over with any career what would it be".
Couples should try and make a firm and strong determination to have fun with each other and talk regularly. Having fun is an important part of stress management .Studies have shown that wonderful health and stress relief benefits to laughter which leads to body wellness and happiness .Ways of having is through meeting with friends,telling jokes,maintaining a sense of humor and have lots of exercise and play, these ways can be enjoyed most when with a loved one.

My choice of soup brought in lots of realizations.
My choice of soup brought in lots of realizations.
-Nafisat
Today l ran out of what to cook for dinner and l said to myself as l dash into the market that anything that catches my attention first is in for dinner.
And whoah l found myself in front of the lgbo woman selling varieties of soup ingredients. I ordered for ogbono blended with egusi,crayfish,pepper,stock fish my ugu leaves and e.t.c The woman beside me kept lamenting.
"Madam you sabi cook this soup" "Madam your husband be igbo" I smiled at her and said"l eat varieties of soups Madam"
And conversation ensued between the woman and l.
She never thought of learning to cook and eat from other cultures and so she was surprised to see a yoruba woman ordering for igbo soup ingredients in a yoruba land.
I knew I had to write about this on my blog because my conversation with the woman was an eye-opener for her and for me.
I never know who might end up catching the bug too. "Cook and eat from another ethnic group"
God loves Nigeria so much for the country is richly endowed with lots of varieties of soups from different ethic groups,which we can learn to cook and eat from.
We don't have to force down through our throats only our ethnic soups especially when we are tried of it ,when we have numerous recipes from others.
Surprisingly we may even prefer other ethnic groups meals to ours. I see this as a way of uniting our various ethic groups as one .
For me it is a way of having varieties to choose from,rather than remain a boring woman who cooks and eats what she is familiar with only.
"Variety is the spice of life"
God has a reason for providing us with various unique and diverse soups and meals and therefore it is the duty of every woman to enjoin in the bountiful blessings.
