When you understand the importance of boundaries in marriage, then you will appreciate the thoughtfulness behind it and you will realise that it's for the protection and preservation of your marriage and not punishment.

Every institution has its rules and regulations that help govern the affairs of of the organisation and marriage as institution itself is no different, so if marriage must be enjoyed to the fullest, it must not only have boundaries but must stick to it.

Bounderies helps us not to trivialise what we have and share with our spouse, rather it helps us to cherish it even more.

Bounderies are meant to keep partners in check and not to keep them restrained, if there's any restrain, it should be in not doing things that will make your partner feel less of himself/herself.

One consistent sign that you are either a good parent or that you are at least trying, is the fact that you are always showing for your kids in special moments and events of their life no matter how inconveniencing it is to you, if you aren't doing so, then you are already missing one of the most important aspect of parenting.

Beings a parent is much more than a title, it's a huge responsibility that must be treated with uttermost seriousness and complete dedication. If you must succeed, you must be intentional in being all of the above and even more.

Being a good parent doesn't necessarily mean you are perfect but it bothers on being intentional about your kids. If you are intentional about your kid's growth and needs, you will definitely help them be better people in the society.

Parenting can be very much overwhelming and stressful but you must employ the use of patience if you must navigate parenting successfully.

No one stumbles on parenting by mistake, rather it is an intentional act and that is why it must be done intentionally for one to become a good parent.

The final sign of an adequately prepared man/woman for marriage is that there is peace in the relationship/courtship and by peace, I dont just mean that there wouldn't be misunderstandings and disagreements, there would but it won't come in between the way they feel about themselves.

Marriage preparation is an intentional effort to do marriage in a way that even when issues arise in the marriage or relationship it is easily navigated by two ready individuals.

The best time to prepare for marriage is now! Now that you're yet to begin a new relationship, now that the marriage subject hasn't been brought up, now you are yet to start catching feelings, now that you you haven't seen the guy or lady you like, just do it now

Preparation for marriage is as important as the marriage itself, so before you take the step towards marriage, make sure you prepare adequately. On today's series opener, we look at some areas to prepare in before you get married.

Cohabitation isn't the solution towards knowing your partner better, rather it serves as a distraction to actually knowing each other better. We conclude our series on Cohabitation Dangers.

Cohabitation is bad but what is even worse than cohabitation itself is the effect it has on the both partners involved and that is why we are discussing about its dangers.
