The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

Effects of Cohabitation

I have really seen the effects of cohabitation in people's life as my friends talked to me about their different life experiences which are detrimental.

Abortion: Eunice said that during her cohabitation with Ibe, she was taking in almost twice every two months and Ibe wouldn't want the baby because he was not in for marriage then and taking responsibility involved. She continued to abort their babies. They kept on testing their relationship to strengthen
it and to see if they were compatible. After several abortions, lucky Eunice, Ibe proposed and married her. Unfortunately the doctor confirmed her inability to have a baby. It is obvious she will remain barren for the rest of her life, Eunice cried.

Time wasting: Adaobi was my course mate, she always told me that she was living with Nnamdi, also a student in Accountancy department. They were enjoying as Adaobi nearly talked me into doing same. I kept asking her to marry one of her flocking suitors, "I have told you Nnamdi will marry me," Adaobi would always say to me. They cohabited through out our five years in school. After graduation, "Am sorry Ada, i told my parents about you but the dismissed the idea. They said I must marry from our tribe," said Nnamdi. "After everything i did for Nnamdi..." cried Ada.

Now biblically this act is condemned, we defile our body which is supposing temple of God. The good book says that a man and a woman shall come together, live as husband and wife not as cohabiting couple.

Researchers found out that more than half (54%) of marriages between 1990-1994 began with cohabitation.
Isn't it absurd?

Cohabitation has to stop! If you sincerely want to test and drive your relationship, probably it should neither involve eros nor living together. Two months is enough to know him/her.

Integrity is the foundation no doubt it's for loving and enduring relationships. It takes humility to live by principles of integrity. If you were loving person you would be proud of yourself for living in integrity. Integrity sustains and strengthens intimacy in relationships. With integrity in relationships it means no lie. It also means there is no hidden agenda. It also means you can be trusted and there is reliability both your words and actions must be true.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Reasons why opposites Attract each other

Is there anything opposite than male and female? Yet they still attract each other after so many decades. In fact, the future of the race is dependent on such attraction. But unfortunately they fail to realize that their physical differences are only symbolic of the many other differences in their nature, the most significant of which are " temperaments ". Good to know, a negative is never attracted to another negative and positives repel each other in any field.
