Trying to make marriages last the right way... This blog will try to see how God says a marriage should be in order th help singles and married people build a lasting relationship. I believe that if we all share our thought on this it might just help someone or all of us. Not just for this generation but many to come.

Virtuous Woman Vs Abokoku?
Hi everyone, I hope I am keeping you guys interested in these blogs? The topic today is an interesting one and as you may have guessed; my inspiration comes from real live experiences. I had a conversation today and the word abokoku (I would die for my husband) came up.during the course of the day I kept thinking if women know the difference between being a virtuous woman and abokoku. So I thought hmm why don't we try and see if we can compare the two. What do I understand by the word virtuous? Here we go: loving, caring, peace loving. I searched on the Internet and this came up under virtuous woman in marriage. "a virtuous woman respects her husband and does him good all the days of her life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet". At this point I am thinking, it takes both parties to decide if a woman is virtuous because; how will a woman know if she is trustworthy or any of these things? So men if you recognise these traits in your wife please appreciate her and tell her once in a while. I also got these bible portions for further reading. (Provs 31:11-12,23,28. 1st Peter 3, Eph 5 and Gen 2:18). So this is how God wants women to be with their husbands. We are not talking about doing one of these things and ignoring the rest or doing all but one. So if you are doing all these things then more grease to your elbow. Because I am also learning from this blog and hoping to practice what I preach.
So if you are a praying woman and wondering where things are going wrong, please check that you are doin all these things right and God will be your help in time of need. So to all the women reading this, before you do or say anything to your husband.ask yourself this; am I being a virtuous woman? If not you will just be surviving your marriage. The thing with surviving is one day you wake up and find out you can't do it anymore or you want more out of your life. Nothing is too hard for God to do and it is never too late. So to the abokoku women; God did not design marriage for you to die for it. In this life, we can deceive everyone but not yourself. When you look in the mirror, user the truth, when you drive alone in ur car; you hear the truth. Put God first in your marriage and he will perfect your weaknesses. Because I intend to from henceforth. When you pray to him in secret, he will reward you openly. Ciao all see yah soon.
