SEVEN THINGS YOU MUST TELL YOUR PARTNER

Image
A relationship is based on conversation between the two people involved, more than anything else. At times, there’s no way around but to be vocal about certain things, when with your partner. While it may be hurtful or unpleasant at the moment, more than often, it does good in the long haul. Here are seven things you must let your partner know, to be in a healthy relationship. 1. Sex? Not now, please So you are not in the mood to do it and he is probing you about the same? Don’t just give in to his demands or feel obliged to do the bed-deed, because it’s OK to say no. Be vocal about it times when you don’t want to have sex. This is an important detail you should not keep away from him. 2.My expectations Where’s this relationship heading at? You prefer the FWB (friends with benefits) bit, or is this something much more than the regular attraction, or are you sure about a future with this man? These are things he needs to know, because well, you’ve got to be sure how he feels abou

Lifelong Attention Secures Happy Unions

Image
All living organisms require attention to survive and thrive. Infants, children, adults, animals and even plants wither and wilt without sufficient care and attention. Attention is needed not only for our physical survival but also for our psychological health and wellbeing and is a necessary element for relationship health. How we provide and receive attention determines the nature and duration of our love relationship. In “What Brain Research Says About Paying Attention” Researchers Robert Sylwester and Joo-Yun Cho state, “Our ability to maintain attention is affected by normal cyclical fluctuations in the efficacy of the neurotransmitter molecules that chemically regulate attention.” In his neurological sleep studies Researcher J. Allan Hobson found that these fluctuations occur in ninety-minute cycles throughout each day. These findings are enlightening in understanding some individuals’ fatigue and need to withdraw from conversations or emotional exchanges when their atten

EDUCATION: THE LOST LEGACY OF NIGERIA

Image
Education is the legacy of every well-meaning society; the impact of education on the society is beyond doubt a determining factor on how well the society fare among its peers, in a country of 180 million people having a literacy rate of 52% and still declining and with real educated rate at 24.4 %, this is no doubt a major setback. The foundation of our educational system is faulty and if not fixed as a matter of urgency, this nation will collapse in no time. This bug is a timed bomb waiting to explode. It is wisely said that when you build mansions and refuse to build your children, the children will ruin the mansions, with over 12.7 million children out of school, Nigeria constitute 48% of the world out of school children, this implies that Nigeria is educationally disadvantaged. Nigeria as a nation have the resources to implement free and compulsory standard quality education in all fairness across all levels (primary, secondary, vocational, tertiary) but the reverse is the c

To Marry Now While I am in College, or Marry Later?

A young man asked if he could marry while in College. He said, “I am 22 years old College student. I dated a girl for over 2 years. We had a lot of fun together. We studied together as well. My family advised me to go and marry her because she was afraid that we might have sex before marriage. Both of us work part-time. Our collective salaries even do not suffice us if we move to a new apartment on our own. I am thinking to get married while I am still living with my mom and siblings.” Thousands of College students face the same dilemma every year if they can get married while in College or wait until after graduation. Sometimes there’s a lot of pressure coming from families who are afraid of those young partners to indulge in sex outside of marriage. Some girls’ families as well may be afraid of seeing their daughter get knocked up while still in College. I also see a lot of younger couples who got married and behave like mature enough. They never skip a class. They a

How to Manage Your Procrastination

Image
Most people procrastinate in executing certain tasks. Some justify their delayed performance by various explanations while others berate themselves and are perplexed about the reasons for their self-hindering habits. Many people assume that their procrastination is due to the tasks being boring, burdensome, unpleasant or difficult. Others maintain that they do so because it is a required, not a volitional choice and thus it impedes their autonomy. Some claim that boredom, or fears of failure may sway them from timely performance. Others resent trading unsatisfying activities for soothing, pleasing or enjoyable ones. Though all these reasons may be occasionally correct they are not the true causes of procrastination. What does propel us to continue delaying some actions in spite of grave or even punitive consequences?
