Marriage Advice : 20 Years of Lessons Learned

-
I've been married for 20 years after dating my husband for 7 years. Our marriage was not easy in the beginning but with time, deliberate effort and commitment to making our marriage work, we were able to figure out what works for us. Most of the lessons are contained in the video, so be sure to check it out. Some of the lessons I've learned are:

Don't allow others to meddle in your marriage

The issues you are dealing with in your marriage are not bigger than they seem. You add other people suddenly everything is World War Z (divorce). Other people will always make whatever you are going through a lot bigger than it actually is.

Be Honest With Each Other

No matter what topic it is, sex, house chores, etc. be honest with each other. None of you are mind readers so it is important to communicate your feelings to prevent misunderstanding.

Communicate

Communication is the basis of a solid relationship. Without communication you will always be at different stages or states in your relationship.You will always wonder why you care not getting each other. 

Money

Probably the number one issue many couples have to face! Sitting down together to budget is absolutely important for the health of your relationship. Face the money issue together to prevent serious damage to your finances. Make sacrifices when necessary as money issues can quickly spiral out of control.

What Teen Pregnancy Taught Me About Life

When I found out I was pregnant at sixteen I was in a hospital and had just woken up from a train accident I had two days before. I could not believe that I was pregnant; I was in total shock. Looking back now I did not spend even an ounce of energy thinking about how bad my situation was and how hard life was about to become for me; I thought about how I could make this work. Having grown up in abject poverty and apartheid era violence, surviving was ingrained in me and the total sum of my experiences had prepared me for the moment. I knew that I had to dig deep in me to find the strength to realize my goals. At sixteen, I was not ready to be a mother and finding out I was pregnant could have derailed my life. Instead of letting the situation take me off my path, I did what I've always done with any situation: I took the lessons I could use and moved forward. Before I found out I was pregnant I was a member of the Student Representative Council in our school, a member of ...

  My Kitchen When it comes to selecting a refrigerator for your home, you have a variety of options to choose from.

The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family. They grow foods like corn, beans, vegetables, and grass for their animals which are important source of labor for their food production. Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...
