Secret Incredient II

Akua: I had this friend of mine who really had a pure heart. Sometimes I did wonder how come there are men of his kind still alive. Many do believe good men are currently extinct though, so they settle for the ones they are fortunate to manage. At a point, I thought he would not get married. He was always busy creating game apps than chat with ladies. But one day, he met this lady and it was effortless, he said. She liked him for him, he did not have to pretend or impersonate anyone to get her attention. They actually met on a bus trip to Accra. She said hello, and sat beside him. At the time, he was busy with his malt and biscuit. I'm still waiting for my response, she said. He stopped chewing, they both laughed and they began chatting. That was how it all began. She was his first, dating was a new thing to him but she pretty much made it easier for him. They had  so much chemistry that he could just tell her mood from her response. And the good thing was; he always knew how to get her in the right mood. They respected each other, and knew when not to cross the line. No matter how angry they were with each other, they never went a day without chatting. A year later, they agreed to settle down, so Ama introduced Kofi to her mum. Her mother after meeting him, felt the connection between both of them and knew her daughter was a lucky woman. After Kofi left, she was having a conversation with her daughter and happen to ask her the church Kofi attends. Ama mentioned that Kofi attended ICGC. She then told her they couldn't get married because he wasn't a methodist. You are shocked too right?. I was actually stunned when I heard this myself. Kofi is currently still single, I mean that was his first time of putting his heart out there and everything was so perfect until this came up. How difficulty it will be for such a person to put his heart out there again. It's unfortunate how lousy a reason could be for two people not to get married as this one. Two Christians for crying out loud!!!... Who sets these rules for marriage?

The Secret Ingredient

Nick: It's interesting when someone's love story is shared, and people start sharing their opinions on it. There you would get to know and understand people's thought process. Previously, we were very intrigued about how love works and wanted to know more about it, but now love has become a "pay as you go" service. Usually, I had a lot to say especially during the month of love; judging from my past years of writing. Then I realized, how over time we have all lost interest in this subject, and how we really don't want to hear about it, if it concerns us. We are our own love experts and we have our own mindset about love. Sorry, if you haven't heard from me this month. Truth is, I lost interest in writing entirely, but no one really cares about that. Lemme go straight to my reason for finally putting pen on paper. I realized one secret to a sustainable relationship with a friend, lover, spouse or what have you. It's simple but key; I have listened to thousands of relationship messages this month, simply because I love to always improve on an aspect in my life. This month being the month of love, I decided to focus on love. Just one key thing I realized that sustains any relationship is respect. If we respect our partner, we would not do certain things. Let's take time to think about it and we would personally recall some of our actions without being advised. The way we treat others really counts on whether we respect them or not. It's that simple. We wouldn't treat people anyhow if we respect them. Some make the mistake of having to apologize for treating people badly after they realize whom they are. Again I say, love and respect should be our secret ingredient to a happy relationship.

What Don't You Know??

Month of Love

My Secret Prayer

Month of Love

Alexis: Alright so this is my first post this year and I hope this script finds you well. I remember it was my sister's birthday last year, and she had to hurriedly step out and meet a dispatch for a gift. She came back hastily, opened it up and it was a white towel with her name embedded in it. She just left the gift there and went to sleep. A minute silence!. Sometimes it's not about how expensive the gift is, but how well it was thought of before purchasing. Take time to think of a gift before going in for it. Welcome to the month of love. Personal, I think this month goes beyond married, dating, courtship people. I think it's very much limited when we look at it from that scope. In a month such as this, we all have to show love one way or the other. I mean, we can try to at least be more sweet to people. During seasons such as these, we are easily subjected to putting ourselves first. It isn't bad to wonder about what we would get from someone or who would surprise us. But particularly, we can think about what we would do for someone or whom we would surprise. I think that makes us more appreciative of what we get also. Cause personally, I have realized when we are more fixated on what we would get, we easily get disappointed, especially, if we start comparing. All I am saying is, apart from the obvious person we would surprise this year. From the handful of friends we have, pick one person and surprise that person too. It could be anything at all. Put a smile on someone's face, and let's be more appreciative. I understand how it feels to get a gift we don't like. And we would be like, "Really?". Wonya huu hwee!.
