Love 365

It's February. Although it's the shortest calendar month, it is a special month because it is black history month - a month in the year that is used to reflect on the history of black people, their heroes, their past, their present and the future. In the month of February, the culture and the significance of the black people in the society are highlighted. The month of February also determines the classification of the current calendar year i.e a leap year. February is also universally known or referred to as the love month since it houses the day couples and families all over celebrate as valentine's day. It's a day set aside annually to make that special person in your life feel special.  Personally, I do not agree with celebrating someone special on one day as I see Valentine's day as a holiday that enriches the pockets of corporations and businesses.  I believe that appreciating those you love or cherish should be done on a daily basis no matter how small that appreciation may seem because they deserve that and also because it may the only chance you get to do so since tomorrow is never promised. My other criticism of valentine's day is the fact that the man in any relationship is the one that is expected to plan something romantic to celebrate the woman or the female in the relationship. I have witnessed some relationships affected because the man forgot to plan something special or did not take the date seriously. I disagree that planning a romantic night or date should only be the man's job. I believe it should be a two-way street because a relationship just means relations between two people sharing the same manner of love. Every couple agrees to the aforementioned statement but however the reality is slightly altered. My blog for March will deal on the double standards in relationships.  However, it is important for females in relationships to plan romantic dates for your mate even when you feel he may not be romantic at heart or good at remembering to plan a romantic date. There's nothing wrong in a female planning a date night for valentine's day or any other occasion. Romantic gestures done for each other can ignite a spark in a stale relationship. For instance, surprising your man with a bouquet of flowers delivered to his workplace or at home with a love note goes a long way to solidify your relationship and also remind him of the significance of expressing love. Always love one another January to December and the days in between. Practice love 365 days a year and watch your relationship flourish. Although, I disagree with celebrating love or expressing love on a day designated according to societal stipulations, I would like to use this medium to wish avid readers of my blogs that will be celebrating the 14th of this month with that special one, a very joyous and happy Valentine's day.

She won't call him handsome

Women in general are created to perfection. Their well-proportioned facial features, bodacious curves and innate cat-like walks are some of many things women possess that drive men insane. Traditionally, it has been the duty of the man to acknowledge a woman’s appearance or beauty. Most people would agree that it is the gentleman’s thing to do. A man who takes a woman out on a date is expected to compliment her appearance or beauty if he wants to score a second date with her. Admiration comments are also expected from husbands and boyfriends. Many couples have had fights that stemmed from the husband not complimenting their wives’ appearance. This stresses the importance of verbally acknowledging a woman’s appearance. However, it is also important for the woman to acknowledge the men on their appearance because men do appreciate those words and compliments. Words like “You are so handsome”, “I love that color on you. It makes you look more attractive” makes a man feel like a million ...

Christians need to look in the mirror

I was born into a christian home and raised as one. Throughout my childhood and teenage years,  I remember spending countless hours in churches and various christian assembly.  I still am a devout christian and believer and lover of Christ. However,  I am not one to say that my faith is without blemish or error as it surely has lots and has become a global joke. Christians have now become sheep led by leaders who do not even understand what being a leader means.  Leaders who talk the talk but can't walk the talk.  Leaders who go into office to chase after titles,  money and fame. Gone are the days when pastors or Christian leaders go into office to make a positive difference in people's lives.  Gone are the days people shy away from being a Christian leader because of the difficulty or meekness of office or how they're perceived by in public or even as a result of the little money they make. Nowadays pastors consider themselves rockstars prophesying fa...

Let sex be the dessert

Sex has been an activity we have invested in from the beginning of time. That dirty, secretive, heart racing, sheets wrinkling, bodies-colliding deed that we engage in, but dare not talk about in public. This three-letter word plays a major role in the world we live in today. It has strong ties to our society- its existence, longevity and foundation. Although, sex is essential in any intimate relationship, it sometimes is not effectively put to work by couples. People have sex for different reasons. Reasons could include love, attraction, lust/carnal desires, rebellion and so on. However, the focus here will be for couples who are in a relationship or want to form a relationship with a sex life that is nowhere near boring.   Now, foreplay is a word that comes to mind when we are asked of how to make sex better and more passionate. That is correct. The only problem is that many people do not know what foreplay is or how to correctly implement it. Knowing the definition of f...
