Who Is A Married Person's Confidant?

Is it wrong for a wife or husband to confide in close associates of the opposite sex either at work, church or other groups?

According to Dotun Eyitayo, a marriage counselor, “it might not be morally wrong to do so, but when a person is relatively too close to someone of the opposite sex that is not related to you, it could breed grounds for infidelity”

The question is, where does infidelity start from?

It is usually from the moment when two persons not married to each other begin to share intimate personal information frequently instead of confiding in their own spouses. That “strange” ear that is ever open to you could soon become a shoulder to lean on, and a bosom to lie on.

People are bound to make mistake and feelings of intimacy are sometimes uncontrollable.

So who is your confidant as a married person? Where do you stand?

Why Do Nigerian Men Hate Baby Sitting

As a husband, would you be comfortable to tend the kids and baby-sit for your wife?

Yes, a woman can sometimes be genuinely tired, incapacitated, and not be in a position to look after the 

kids for a brief period. As a husband and a father, would you be glad to reverse roles with your wife for 

a while?

According to findings from researchers at Oxford University, dads who engage more with their children 

at 3 months will have better behaved babies at 12 months (and we add from 12 months and beyond!) 

You dads, it is time to begin real nappy duties.

But why are dads, especially the average Nigerian father, really uncomfortable with engaging with their 

kids at tender ages?

The 50/50 Marriage: Can It Work?

Would it be logical to assume that in marriage relationships we can share responsibilities equally, 50/50

just because there are two of us? 

Sure it would be nice to draw a line down the middle of the house and say "you clean that side and I'll 

clean this side." 

Or “do half of the laundry or mow half of the yard”.   

Wouldn’t it ridiculous to try and manage, let alone consider? But there are many couples who want their 

spouse to share everything at home 50/50. Is this feasible in marriage?

Joint Account In Marriage

Who Is A Married Man's Next of Kin?

Marriage essentially makes a man and his wife to become one. But can a woman trust a husband that makes his own brother and other siblings his next of kin instead of the wife?

Mrs. Susan was surprised that in all his husband's insurance papers, he wrote the name of his younger brother as his next of kin. When she confronted Bayo, her husband of fifteen years, arguments lead to resentment, bitterness, and suspicion.

If you were Susan, what would you do? Is Bayo right in his choice of next of kin? Your answer is as good as mine! 

Celebrity Marriages: Why Do They Easily Break?

The marriages of our supposed beloved superstars are troubled. Some barely last two years, and those times spent together are usually turbulent and filled with bitterness, anger, frustration and regret.

But should success become a problem to the marriages of people who bring happiness to their fellow men?

Why should it be marriage that must be sacrificed on the altar of success? Why should failed marriages be the price these people pay for being successful?

Could the reasons be traced to lack of trust; incompatibility problems; infidelity; egotism and self -centeredness; lack of submission; pride and arrogance; etc?

Are you a celebrity? Or do you know one? What are the real reasons why such marriages struggle and fizzle out? What lessons can we learn from them?
