Congrats on your engagement, my sweet coworker! Engagement and marriage are like a new job with tons of responsibilities. I hope your married life is less crazy than your work schedule, and your spouse is more understanding than your boss.

A divorced friend remarried 2 months ago, I heard from her younger sister that her ex husband was very vexed about it. That why wasn't he informed before she remarried...he even threw small drama at the family.

Thank God, she was wise enough to leave his son with her mother, despite her new husband's pleas to bring him, she refused. The ex husband would had used the son to create bigger drama.

Her ex husband swore no one will ever marry her again, he destroyed her name and she had some challenges remarrying, once he knew she's dating, he'll find a way to manipulate the suitors mind, she had lost two suitors because of him. But this one came as a surprise to him, because she kept the relationship hidden even from some family and friends.

What pissed him more was when he learnt she married as a first wife, her present husband was never married,he married her like a New bride not bazawara(divorced woman)and all the things her ex husband denied her, she's enjoying it in her present marriage. Her present husband enrolled her in a school and also established a small business for her. That support she didn't have in her first marriage, she's getting it in her second.

I learnt from her story that
*When it's your time, nothing can stop it. What is meant for you will always be for you.
*To keep a low profile with relationships especially when you have enemies around you, waiting to shame you.
*A failed marriage is never the end, being a single mum won't stop you from finding love again.
*No matter the lies and rumors about you, stay true to yourself, God see's your heart, someone befitting of you will see you for who you truly are.
*If that man won't value you, another man will.
* Not all men are same, some may break you, some will build you. There are good men out there too.

Life is unpredictable.

Female education is crucial for individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Here are some key importance:

1. *Empowerment*: Education empowers women to make informed decisions about their lives, health, and well-being.
2. *Economic Independence*: Educated women are more likely to secure better-paying jobs, reducing financial dependence on others.
3. *Improved Health*: Educated women are more aware of health risks, leading to better healthcare outcomes for themselves and their families.
4. *Reduced Child Mortality*: Educated mothers are more likely to have healthy children, reducing child mortality rates.
5. *Increased Civic Engagement*: Educated women are more likely to participate in politics, voting, and community decision-making.
6. *Breaking Cycles of Poverty*: Education helps women break free from poverty, improving their socio-economic status.
7. *Delayed Marriage and Childbearing*: Educated women tend to delay marriage and childbearing, reducing the risk of early pregnancy complications.
8. *Increased Autonomy*: Education gives women the autonomy to make choices about their own lives, free from coercion or manipulation.
9. *Better Family Planning*: Educated women are more likely to use family planning methods, reducing unintended pregnancies.
10. *Societal Progress*: Educating women contributes to overall societal progress, as educated women are more likely to contribute to economic growth, innovation, and social change.

Investing in female education is essential for creating a more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable society.

5. #MARRY_YOUR_SEX_MATE: Marry someone you have sexual feelings for. Sexual feeling is not a sin. It is an instinct God put in every person. Sex plays a major role in the success of any marriage. Any man you don't have emotional feelings for, don't marry the person. If you don't have emotional feelings for that lady, leave her alone. A spiritual being is also a sexual being. No matter how spiritual you both may be in your marriage, you won't be praying for 24 hours in a day. You won't be reading the Bible or worshipping God 24/7. You will have sex! You will romance! You will flirt with each other! You will make babies. So, marry someone you can connect with sexually. It will help you to enjoy your marriage so much!

6. #MARRY_YOUR_SOCIAL_MATE: Don't marry someone you won't be proud to go out with. Don't marry someone you will be feeling shy to introduce to people with boldness. Marry someone you are comfortable to hang out with. Marry someone you are socially compatible with. Don't marry an anti- social person.
You might be wondering if your can find all the 'mates' in one person. Yes! The answer is YES! You don't need to marry 6 guys/ladies to have all these mates. One person can be all that for you. If you also work on yourself and build your life, you can be all that for the guy/lady that will marry you.

The promise of God for you is this : 'Seek and read from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.' (Isaiah 34:16).
Say it loud and clear 'I shall not lack a mate!'
I hope this blessed someone reading?

4. #MARRY_YOUR_SPENDING_MATE: Don't marry someone who is stingy. There are so many expenses to cater for in marriage. A stingy guy in courtship won't suddenly become a generous husband in marriage. Don't marry a lady that has the financial philosophy of ' My husband's money is our money, but my money is my money'. Marry someone who believes in dignity of labour , who is ready to work, not a lazy fellow who just want to be a consumer and not a contributor. Marry someone who is ready to spend and be spent for the growth and success of the family.
