Valentine day ideas
It is that time of the year again, where lovers all over the world exchange gifts and pleasantries due to an age long tradition that came about as a result of the great one Augustus Valentine. Every year, billions of dollars are spent on gifts to celebrate valentine’s day. A lot of websites and blogs post new and creative valentine day  ideas  and other expenditures. In case you are in-between jobs, or living on a budget and still have someone who loves you then here is how to celebrate valentine’s day without breaking your bank account which is already in the red.
1. Don't Eat out- 
Okay, this is hard but you have to understand that all the restaurants are going to be choked up any way and waiters would be on their worst behaviours, you might have to wait a while to get a seat in the cheapest of restaurants, this is assuming you have not made a reservation because you are on a budget.  A cheaper valentine day idea is to Instead eat in, you and your lover should get a valentine recipe off the internet and get the ones with cheap ingredients and make the meal together, just the two of you. It might not taste good , it might actually suck but you would learn that the beauty of valentine is doing things together.

A good valentine idea is to go for an admit all program or party.There are lots of cheap valentine programs, carnivals and seminars organised by churches,media outlets, schools and organisation.

It might even be a valentine party and you can just tag along ,hoping the host would supply everything including gifts.

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO FOR YOUR PARTNER ON VALENTINE'S DAY



things to do for your partner
Your partner
   Wake your partner up  with a love song on valentine’s day. Call when you know they should still be sleeping [say 5 am or 6 am or even 8 am if your partner is the type that sleeps till noon (lazydrone) ] and then vocally sing a love song . You don’t have to be a musician but that is kind of an added advantage. If you sound terrible and your voice can probably cause a hurricane or induce migraines, then play a record underground or send an MMS. You might also request that the song is played on the radio and call or wake your partner up to listen to it. In case you don’t find any request shows that early ,just hope love songs would come up and then call your partner when they do, otherwise stick to the original plan.
 .  Write your partner a letter, listing 10-50 things you love about your partner , send it in an envelope and make someone else deliver it. Don’t drop it in the mail though; it may be delivered on the wrong date or worst still to the wrong person.
letter to future spouse, love letter
Write a love letter to your partner
       Send 24 unique text love messages every hour of the day, yes even in the midnight. If you use a very good phone that sets the sending time of text messages, you would save yourself the stress of waking up. You can lower this down to 16-18 during the hours that you are awake but ensure that the number is an even number of text messages.
love text message
Just copy this text message if you can read it.




 .Indulge your partner in their favorite interests, If your partner loves to watch sitcoms for example, then sit through one with your partner. Do something that is in your partner’s interest.
your partner
Let your partner do all he always wanted to do,-go around the house in his drawers and play with teddy bears.

things to do with your partner
Now I finally get that cuddle  i have been dying to get, Thanks to this horror film that i have seen countless times but she hasn't.
      Take up some of your partner’s chores, do not do what you can’t do or try to prove a point. Just assist and get it done well, so it wouldn't be a total waste of time at the end of the day.
After Taking this picture, i am going to leave the kitchen and  just call someone to wash these dirty dishes.
helping your partner
All I need to do is leave soap marks , that is the proof that i cleaned the floor.

    Allow your partner choose your outfit for the valentine day, help you shave or brush your hair. You would find out that the simple outfits are the most loved.

   Go out on a date night. Going  out doesn't necessarily mean  going to the most expensive restaurant to rub shoulders with the multitude you would find there on valentine’s day, trying to live up to an expectation they don’t know nothing about.  The date night may be a long walk on a busy street, stopping at intervals to buy road side meals. As long as the conversation is going smooth and your legs are not aching. The date night would go on well. Listen to your partner and allow your partner speak , share a good laugh. Have fun.
date night
I am only smiling because i read that on a blog.
   Have your pictures taken together ,by a photographer, not some clumsy amateur picture taken on your mobile phone and dumped on Facebook or instagram . Go into a photo studio and say cheese! Or better still valentine.
Don't tell anyone, the camera doesn't even work.

valentine gift ideas
The most expensive and valuable thing about this gift is the wrapper
       Give a Valentine Gift . A well packaged gift that fits into your partner’s life. What matters most about a gift is its usability and how it fits into your partner’s life at the moment. That said, cakes might fit into your partner’s recent sugar cravings and it’s use is pretty obvious. It is best to give 9 special gifts at different times of the day. The more the gifts hit the mark of usability and need, the more points you score on the invisible scale of love on a valentine’s day.

          Tuck your partner in at night with a phone call, recounting the events of the day and giving all appreciation for the effort in making the valentine day special, even if it wasn't  You have to credit your partner for the effort. That is all that counts.

3. Find out where a valentine party  or program is going on and invite yourself to it. 
love story for valentine
Eating out might be a bad idea because you would probably be the only one without an accomplice and it would look a bit weird at least the other guests and waiters would try to do that. They waiters would ask, are you the only one?, are you expecting someone? Or some other more decent way of rubbing it in your face that you came out to dine  in a restaurant alone. Invite yourself to the valentine party or program, you might even meet someone but don’t go with that intention. Your goal for the day is to  have maximum fun not get stuck with any one.
4.Get yourself to do those things you love doing.
 In some cases it just might be sleeping. Just do it!

5. Bury yourself in your work, and pretend you don’t give a hoot!

Or the lonely lady in the next office , or the girl who clearly has no one . Tell your friends, it is not that difficult to get someone to go out with you on a date that would lead nowhere.
You have to understand that there is nothing wrong with being alone. At some point in your life, you have to be alone to get certain things done and there is nothing wrong in having nothing planned for valentine and hating it for the hype it brings.

THE STORY OF VALENTINE


a valentine story
Valentine’s day is here again . A day specially made for lovers , so to speak. Recently people in Pakistan protested against the celebration of valentine’s day. Yes ! they did, it is kind of weird. The story behind valentine’s day is a one of courage, strength , perseverance until the point of death. It is a story that inspires us all to live for something so that when we are gone, we would be remembered for something. Not protesting obviously .There was a priest by the name of Valentine. He lived in Rome about 250 AD. That was a long, long time ago!

At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor by the name of Claudius. Some people called him Claudius the Cruel. St. Valentine didn't like Emperor Claudius, and he wasn’t the only one! A lot of people felt the same way. Claudius wanted a big army. He thought men should volunteer to join. Many men just did not want
to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and girlfriends. So, not many men signed up to fight. 

This made Claudius mad. So do you know what he did? He had a crazy idea that if men were not married, they would not mind joining his army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was really cruel. Valentine thought it was ridiculous! One of his favorite jobs as a priest
was to marry people. Well after Emperor Claudius passed his law, he kept on performing marriage ceremonies– but secretly. He would whisper the words of the ceremony, while listening for soldiers on the steps outside.
RELATED POST: 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO FOR YOUR PARTNER ON VALENTINE'S DAY
One night, he did hear footsteps. The couple he was marrying escaped, but he was caught He was thrown in jail and told that his punishment was death. St. Valentine tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what happened? Many young people came to the jail to visit him. They threw flowers and notes up to his window.
They wanted him to know that they, too, believed in love. One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit him in his cell. They often sat and talked for
hours. 
She believed he did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and performing marriage ceremonies. On the day he was to die, he left her a note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. He signed it, “Love from your Valentine.”

That note started the custom of exchanging love notes on Valentine’s Day. It was written on the day he died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can’t be beaten!
And that is why years later we still have valentine, we still fall in love and get married.  Happy Valentine’s day.

WHY MEN ARE ADDICTED TO PORN



Addicted to porn, pornography
I am writing my project and watching porn on the side.
These days due to technology advancement and easy accessibility, more and more men are addicted to porn. Porn though unproductive is very addictive and being addicted to porn is no different from being addicted to heroine.One of the tasks a man  or accountability partner to someone who is addicted to pornography is to help them understand their own heart.
Why do they run to porn again and again?


READ: HOW PORNOGRAPHY HIJACKS THE MALE BRAIN.




 The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water” (we often can’t see our own motivations), “but a man of understanding will draw it out”. A  Man needs help to draw out the deeper motivations they are unable or unwilling to see in themselves.
It is important to understand the allure of pornography: What is the inner attractions that make men like porn and coming back to it again and again? What are good accountability questions we can ask to get to the root of the problem?
1. Porn is easy, but relationships are hard.
Relationships, especially our closest relationships, involve work.
Every day we are required to care what’s going on in others’ lives. We must put up with sour moods, offensive behavior and selfishness—both in ourselves and in others.
In contrast, porn offers men a feeling of risk-free intimacy.
Pornography offers men a fantasy world where they are required to know nobody, require no romance and no self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. And for many men the payoff is great: not only can they avoid the messiness of real relationships, they can also feel the delight of a million virtual women catering to their every whim thereby making them addicted to porn.
 Has there been a relationship in your life recently that has been unusually difficult? This may be one of the reasons you are one of the men watching porn excessively.
2. Porn is comfortable, but life is stressful.
In life things go wrong. Expectations are frustrated. People let us down. Tragedies happen. We get sick. We get tired. We get into sharp disagreements. Life is stressful.
Pornography, by contrast, offers a very comfortable world where nothing goes wrong. Porn offers a ready-made setting where we know we will get exactly what we want . The porn industry a multi billion dollar industry thrives on this fact . It aims to get people especially men addicted to porn.
Of course, we know it’s fake. It’s like professional wrestling or “reality” TV. As Chris Hedges says in his book Empire of Illusion, the success of these forms of entertainment lies not in fooling the men watching porn that these stories are real. “Rather, it succeeds because these men watching porn ask to be fooled. They happily pay for the chance to suspend reality.” The constant need to suspend reality makes a lot of men addicted to porn.




3. Porn is “exciting”, but life is “boring”.
The word “boredom” first started being used by French authors when they wrote about that feeling of discontentment when life gets tedious.
While the feeling of boredom has probably always been around, it is only in the last 300 years we have seen it become a social epidemic. Blaise Pascal said boredom is the plight of a modern man when “he lacks distraction and has no absorbing passion or pastime.”
Boredom is one of the fruit of a leisure culture. As wealth and free time increase, so does our hunger for distraction. The hunger for distraction  in men is one of the reasons men like porn.
As we come to expect constant stimulation and excitement, the day-to-day can seem dull by comparison. With Google at our fingertips, information is everywhere, but we easily become detached, anonymous spectators, rarely taking risks of vulnerable involvement or passionate commitment—rarely acting on what we know.
Culturally we are guilty of what Dorothy Sayers calls the sin of tolerance, “the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”
Pornography offers a world of sexual excitement to the bored minds of men who like porn. Porn is a highly sexualized form of the image-based culture in which we live, a world where billions of pictures are painting a thousand words at break-neck speeds. Porn offers a fantasy of pure sexual stimulation, a fantasy that leaves it’s victims addicted to porn.
 Have you found yourself bored or itching for excitement? Do you feel like your life is mundane? That may be the reason you are addicted to porn, your life sucks! Get up out of your seat and set your world in motion.
4. Pornography makes men feel “powerful”, but real life makes them feel powerless.
It is easy to feel small in the world. We intuitively know the world does not revolve around us, but this doesn’t stop us from wishing it did. We want others to pay attention to us, to treat us as important, to put us first. This desire can be so strong at times we can actually begin to feel entitled to it: We want a little corner of the world where we are kings.
Pornography offers men a deluge of power. In a man’s porn-fed fantasy, the girls never say no. In pornography there are no social barriers between a man and the woman of his dreams that is why men like porn. Pornography sells the idea that beautiful women are trophies—collectibles that show the watching world what a real man really is. Pornography also sexualizes male dominance, allowing men to fantasize about a world where women enjoy being treated as objects.Have you been in any situations recently that made you feel belittled, unimportant, or disrespected? this could be the reason you are addicted to porn.
Get up and take charge of your life.

HOW TO HANDLE INFIDELITY AND ADULTERY IN MARRIAGE



Infidelity, adultery ,marriage how to handle
infidelity ,adultery in marriage Honey, i see you've met Cassandra
                                                  she is our new sex therapist.




The pain caused by infidelity is like the pain you get when you are stabbed by a blunt Knife. The causes of infidelity in a marriage are quite exhaustive ranging from low self esteem, neglect, pervertedness etc. While infidelity is of different forms the generally regarded act of infidelity is sex. The road to recovery is a very long and tortuous one but with determination, courage and perseverance,it can be attained.
Here are a few steps to take after you have discovered any form of infidelity in your marriage
.


1.Discovery 

When you find out that  your partner has been unfaithful, A switch that triggers potent emotions like rage, shock, depression, shame and anger would automatically be turned on. All these emotions  would take over in a matter of hours after the confirmation. You would most likely be overwhelmed with the thought of ending the marriage; then, next moment you might become desperate in saving it. At such instance, you need to calm down and  take things calmly.You have to first understand that it is not your fault. There is no excuse so great as to make anyone cheat on the vow made before God and Man. You might find yourself in a pool of questions, but answers might not come your way. 

2. Space . 

It can be an intense circumstance to discover the affair. When emotions are high, it is best that you give each other space or  timeout from each other so you can let the fire die down without hurting one another. Especially if children are involved. Children get worried easily and so you wouldn't want to trouble them with this issue. 

3.Seek Counsel. 

If you have discovered that your partner is unfaithful , you have to tell someone.This is something that you should and need not go through all by yourself. More than ever, it is at this moment when you need to confide and share your thoughts and feelings to  a trusted counselor or spiritual leader. Their nonjudgmental and objective insights will help you in clearing your head. You will be able to  get your life together , calm down and heal faster to put the affair on the right perspective. 


4.Take Time.

You should not be in a hurry to delve into sensitive details of this infidelity. You have to give  it time . Time to heal , time to weigh your options , time to make a decision, time to be okay. Discussions should be deferred until both of you can  converse positively without prejudice or judgement.


5.Making Amends

Recovery from an affair is not simple. It is a process that will go on and on until the wounds have healed and  the final shards of pain has been eliminated . To help you in the process of healing, you must take the necessary steps. 

6.Taking Responsibility.

 If you were the one who cheated, you have to take the responsibility for the wrong actions you have done. Taking responsibility is understanding that you have faltered and there is no excuse, it is not about pushing or passing the blame or trying to vindicate yourself while in harms' way. You must end the  affair; stopping any interaction and communication with the third party involved. 

RELATED POST: SIGNS OF INFIDELITY

7. Honesty. 

When  you have recovered from the initial shock then you can deal with the problem at hand with a positive attitude; discuss and talk about what took place. You should be honest and open and true to yourself even if it is very difficult to talk or to listen because of the intense pain. 

8.Losing to Win.

 Saving the marriage after acts of infidelity is something that both  parties need to agree upon without compromise and set deal breakers. It is not  right or wise that you are the only one who wants the marriage to continue while your spouse actually wants  out. If things are going this way, then the marriage is good as ended. The recovery and settlement of things may take long. Nonetheless, if you share a common goal of reconciliation, you can both give your utmost commitment, energy and time to help each other heal.

8 LADIES TO NEVER MARRY

8 LADIES TO NEVER MARRY
never marry
I should have listened to everyone but myself.



Nowadays, a lot of young men are refusing to get married, they are  simply living the glorified bachelor life and enjoying it. It basically  boils down to the fact that guys are not 100% sure if what they have is  good enough to lock in once and for all. This article helps you with a  list of 8 ladies to never marry, no matter what happens, this girls are not what the marriage institution is all about and they would leave a soar taste of marriage in your mouth.

1.MISS INDEPENDENT:



Independent woman
The only men i need in my life are  my driver,
my plumber and gardener, all other things are
under control.
First, you have to understand that it is not right for a woman to live all her life in dependence, but there are these ladies out there , who have read too many motivational books, attended too many seminars, and seen too many pod casts or being with the wrong kind of men in the past, that they seem to have lost the line between being co-dependent and completely doing everything by yourself in your own way at your own time. It is not only about being independent to men, it is more like being an island. This kind of ladies should  never be married. Luckily for most people, they don't put marriage in their top most agenda.
Marrying such ladies would result in a feeling of redundancy, and that is one of the worst feelings to have in a marriage, because marriage is about coming together to support each other in diverse ways.This also rules out low self esteem women.Move on, never marry that.
2. MISS MATERIALISTIC:


materialistic
Show me the Money.
 Never marry this lady. She would run you down.Men are naturally impulsive spenders, so women are supposed to help check mate the spending habits of men in most cases. When a woman is completely materialistic and is in it for the money, the man would be forced to go overboard, spending to keep her happy, spending to make the marriage work and then spending even more when the marriage is eventually over, and it would, except the man has the endurance and wisdom which only God bestows.
3. MISS PARANOID:
paranoid
He is going to break my heart because
my heart is made of glass.
 This kind of lady has for some reasons being made to believe that all men are evil, so please never marry her because that would be a greater evil. She believes that when you are away, you are cheating, when you don't pick your calls , you are messing around and when you are late from work, you stopped over to get a quickie. This should not be confused with intuitiveness, especially when the man in question is not doing anything to build trust in the relationship. This kind of lady drives the man crazy and would eventually push him into the hands of another, or worse still, live a tension filled marriage, void of love and trust.
4. MISS NO FUTURE AMBITION:
no future ambition
When is Real Housewives of Atlanta coming on?
 Never marry a woman who has no clear cut goals in life, no matter how nice she is , if you can help her get it then do that, before you marry her, otherwise never marry. Marriage is about supporting each other, finding your foot in life in all areas of life,when someone in that team has no goals, nothing in sight, then the partner has no job, no function and the team is utterly useless.Marrying a lady with no future ambition is like having a 30 something year old child living and depending on you, that pressure is quite unnecessary.
5.MISS CINDERELLA:
cinderella
I Just need a little more hair length
and barbie make-up to
get my prince Charming.
This lady is still stuck in the world of fairy tales, love songs and Shakespeare illustrations. Never marry such,except you are a knight in a shining armor and she has the Rapunzel kind of hair. She believes that all her life issues would suddenly be wiped away by a five to six foot guy with two hands and two feet. She believes that he would suddenly whisk her away from reality and begin to live in a 
fantasy.The fact is except you live on an island with a lot of uniformed help and your mansion is painted in all sorts of cartoony colors, you would be a total disappointment to this girl,and when life issues spring up, she would most likely fall into depression. If you are up for the challenge then why not? but if not , never marry this one.
6. MISS LONE RANGER:
lone ranger
I am Waiting for that person who would be bold enough to come and touch me
A lady that has issues with every one in the world and only wants to be with her lover/husband is not worth being in a marriage with. A lady should have friends , but prioritize her husband above all, but when she puts you in a state of " us against the world" you would be eating much more than you can chew, because no single person can tend to all the emotional needs of a spouse.Friends , relatives and family would have to come in once in a while. That would be putting too much pressure on you and she would eventually appear needy and become a nag as the marriage goes.
7.MISS PERVERT: Every Man fantasizes about getting hooked up with a " freak in the sheets" but you have to know where to draw the line.When you have to constantly live up to some kinky fetish desires everyday of  your marriage, then you are probably in bondage.Never marry this lady, she sees no link between love, sex and marriage. The whole marriage would eventually lead to heartbreak, disease, lies and videotapes.
pervert
Now people can finally stop looking at
my face and start looking in the
right direction.




hypocrite
I've been told you like clowns....Oh you don't?
.....Okay, i'm going to change to
a stripper.
8. MISS HYPOCRITE: This lady is so concerned about what others think, she is literally" faking it till she makes it" or you can rightly say, she has multiple personality disorder syndrome.She is sheila in the morning, Alicia in the afternoon, Felicia in the evening, and Patricia at night. Yes! she sounds like a super woman, but the only time women should be credited for multitasking is when they are career women, business women, mothers, wives and everything in between. She is the type that marries Dick and messes around with Harry. She loves what she doesn't have and fantasies about what is not hers. If you are into polygamy then you can go for her, because she is 5 ladies in one, and all the while you have dated and courted just one, but she is buy one, get four free. Never Marry this Lady.
Now your search is much more easier, this list rules out 75% of the ladies out there.On the other hand, according to some bimbo  lady, called Christine Meinecke Everybody Marries the Wrong Person

I'M 83 AND I'M TIRED






Bill Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired" I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance.. I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off? I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government. Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference. " I'm 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem! And finally  I Didn't Ask to Be Born: (But I'm Glad I Was)
