CAN I GET MARRIED TO SOMEONE YOUNGER THAN ME?

Many singles are fond of asking this particular question these days but the bitter truth is most times, age does not matter when it comes to relationship or marriage.

You can be 22years and someone who's is 27 finds it hard to know what a relationship entails and treats you like an option while you can be 25 and someone who's 22 knows how to treat you well and better in that relationship.

Imagine getting in a relationship or even getting married to someone who is older than you but does not know how to handle you in a relationship and vice versa.

Either you're younger than your partner or your partner is older than you are, what matters most is what God is saying concerning that relationship, the maturity of such person you're younger or older than and if you can cope with such person.

If you as a lady is older than your partner, the question you should keep asking yourself is can I submit to this man and show him respect even after knowing I am older than him?

And as a man if you're younger, ask yourself a question if you will still love and treat her like your best half even when she's older than you are.

Either they're older than you with 2-5years or younger, what matters most is can that person treat you right and well in that relationship and after marriage?

Is he or she matured enough to know what it takes to be in a relationship with you, to handle you and knows how to make your relationship or marriage thrive better.

HAVE YOU LEARNT SOMETHING, OYA SHARE TO GET OTHERS BLESSED.

7 Lessons From Rules of Life by Richard Templar

1. You’ll Get Older But Not Necessarily Wiser
There is an assumption that as we get older we will get wiser; not true. But we can carry on being just as foolish, still making plenty of mistakes. It’s just that we make new ones, different ones. We do learn from experience and may not make the same mistakes again, but there is a whole new pickle jar of fresh ones just lying in wait for us to trip up and fall into. The secret is to accept this and not to beat yourself up when you do make new ones. The Rule really is: Be kind to yourself when you do muck things up. Be forgiving, and accept that it’s all part of that growing older but no wiser routine.

2. Accept What Is Done Is Done
People make mistakes. Sometimes very serious ones. As often as not, the mistakes aren’t deliberate or personal. Sometimes people just don’t know what they are doing. This means that if, in the past, people have behaved badly toward you, it wasn’t necessarily because they meant to be horrid, but because they were as naïve, as foolish, as human as the rest of us. They made mistakes in the way they brought you up or finished a relationship with you or whatever, not because they wanted to do it that way, but because they didn’t know any different.
Let go of any feelings of resentment, of regret, of anger. You can accept that you are a fabulous human being because of all the bad things that have happened to you, not in spite of them. What is done is done, and you need to just get on with your life. Don’t use the labels “good” and “bad.”

3. Accept Yourself
You can’t go back and change anything, so you’ve got to work with what you’ve got. Accepting is easy because it is exactly what it says—accepting. You don’t have to improve or change or strive for perfection. Quite the opposite. Just accept.
That means accepting all the warts and emotional lumps and bumps, the bad parts, the weaknesses, and the rest of it. This doesn’t mean we are happy with everything about ourselves, or that we are going to be lazy and lead a bad life. We are going to accept the way we are, initially, and then build on that. What we are not going to do is beat ourselves up because we don’t like some parts.

4. Know What Counts and What Doesn’t
Being here counts. Being kind and considerate counts. Getting through each day without seriously offending anyone or hurting anyone counts. Having the latest technology doesn’t. Doing something useful with your life counts. There are some things in this life that are important and a whole lot of things that aren’t.

5. Be Flexible in Your Thinking
Once your thinking gets crystallized, rigid, and formed, you’ve lost the battle. Once you think you have all the answers, you might as well hang up your boots. Once you get set in your ways, you’re already part of history.

6. Be Your Own Adviser
Deep down within all of us is a fount of wisdom. This is called intuition. Listening to your intuition is a slow-learned process.

7. Don’t Expect to Be Perfect
You’re allowed to be human, you know. In fact, you’re actively encouraged to be human. Don’t try to set yourself above everyone else—the rest of us fail from time to time.

Thank you for reading.

"YOUR MAN IS ASLEEP."

While i was writing on my notebook in preparation for a conference where i will be teaching singles on maximizing their season of singlehood.

The Holy Spirit asked me.
"What was Adam doing while i was making Eve?"

According to scriptures, you made Adam fall asleep and made Eve, that means Adam was sleeping while you were making Eve, i answered.

Absolutely correct! The man was sleeping while i was making his woman.
You see many of my daughters have become impatient, some have bought into the ideas that they are cursed, others believe they are not beautiful and good enough to get a man, and they keep asking me questions and settling for less than i intend for them, all because they don't understand that "WHENEVER I AM MAKING THE WOMAN, THE MAN IS ASLEEP."

Many of my daughters are screaming, "God, where is my man? My mates are already married with children, my friends are getting engaged. Where is my Man?"

And my reply is
"Your Man is sleeping, he is sleeping because i am still making you to be a wife, to be his good thing, to be his help and until i am done making you, i won't wake him up."

When i heard those words, i decided that i won't just tell it to those in the conference, but to as many single daughters of God that i can.

Sis, i know many have laughed at you because it seems no man is approaching you.
I know you have cried bitterly because you have a good character but no man is coming your way.

Don't be under pressure.
It is not even your village people that are stopping your man from coming.
Your heavenly father is making you, he is making you into a woman of virtue, into a woman of power.

He is making you to become a wife that won't just have fruits of the womb, but a wife with the fruits of the spirit.

He is making you a wife so full of power, that the day you say "Yes i do" to your man, favour will also say "Yes i do" to him and certain limitations will say "No i don't" to him because his helper which is you has come.

He is making you the kind of wife that after a man pay your bride price and you become his wife, he will realize that you also paid a price in the spirit and secured certain realities for any man that will become your husband.

Be still and allow God to keep making you.
Your heavenly father have you in mind that's why he sent me to you dear daughter of God that is screaming and asking God, "Where is my man?"

This is his reply.

"YOUR MAN IS ASLEEP, WHEN I AM DONE MAKING YOU, I WILL WAKE HIM UP."

Marriage Is A Creation Of God
Unto maximum bliss, companionship fulfillment and potentials actualization. When it is done well, it is second to no other form of human relationship in excitement, ecstasy and fulfillment.

To Do It Well:
1. The Knowledge and Fear of God is paramount. No one can genuinely know and fear God and not be an excellent husband or wife.
2. There must be genuine love and appreciation for one another. Love that is real. Not fake or based on things.
3. There must be mutual value and respect for one another. You don’t abuse whom or what you value.
4. You must be the kind of spouse you’d want your children to have in the future.
5. You must live in accountability to God as one who will answer to God at the end of your life. We wish you a blissful marital journey in Jesus Name.

5 lessons from Book “The Most Important thing”

1. The most important thing is to understand the difference between price and value: Price is what you pay, value is what you get. The key to successful investing is to be able to identify assets that are priced below their intrinsic value.

2. Risk management is essential: Investors should always be aware of the risks involved in any investment and should always take steps to mitigate those risks. This includes diversification, limiting leverage, and avoiding investments that are too complex or difficult to understand.

3. Market efficiency is not perfect: While markets are generally efficient, there are still opportunities for investors to identify mispricings and profit from them. This requires a deep understanding of the underlying fundamentals of the assets being considered.

4. Patience is key: Successful investing requires patience and the ability to stay disciplined even in the face of short-term fluctuations in the market. This means being able to maintain a long-term perspective and avoid reacting emotionally to market movements.

5. Know your own limitations: Investors should be aware of their own limitations and biases, and should strive to avoid making emotional or irrational decisions. This requires a deep understanding of one's own strengths and weaknesses as an investor, as well as a commitment to continually learning and growing as a investor

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;

2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.

3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.

4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;

5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;

6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;

7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;

8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;

9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;

10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.

11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;

12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;

13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;

14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;

15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;

16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;

17. Never give advice until you’re asked;

18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;

19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;

20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and

21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say "Thanks for the message".

APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don't have....
