10 Rules For Living With A Man

10 Rules For Living With A Man is the 1st installment in the Cohabiting Handbook Series which is a series of light-hearted guides for females who are living with male partners. Visit my Store Front Here

Each guide lists several helpful suggestions on how to improve the relationship between two unmarried couples who find themselves living together under the same roof. Cohabitation is now an established urban phenomenon as a large majority of couples live together for years to get married.

Sadly the fact is that research studies show a large majority of these relationships do not end in marriage. A major reason for this is that young couples are largely unprepared for prolonged cohabitation with the opposite sex especially where there is no safety net provided by marriage as an institution.

This ignorance of the basic elements of relationships creates tensions and deep cracks. Soon a bubbling and excited couple in the beginning of cohabitation soon become almost pedestrian in their daily interactions.

This series of guides comes at an important period when cohabiting is at its peak as a result of social and economic difficulties in the larger society. Following the advice provided gives couples a fighting chance of becoming part of the 40% of couples whose relationships survive into marriage.

We will inevitably be forced to make a reasonable compromise w...

The Bridge of Serenity

The serenity to accept... Christianity has done much for mankind despite its failures. It is often criticized for not living up to its high ideals. Was it ever expected that Christianity would solve all the problems of man kind?  Our Lord Jesus thought better of this approach. His philosophy was never to seek a resolution for every human failing. He never attempted to resolve every case of wrong doing or neglect.  He understood that the greatest battles would be fought, won and lost in hearts and souls of men. There is no fix-all and end-all equation in our daily existence. Life is a constant daily struggle. I pray "God give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, to change things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"An individual is only powerless when he chooses to be. Everybody is gifted with freedom of choice which is the human will.  Lets not blame people or institutions. This ancient prayer demonstrates how far we have wandered in expecting solution...
