Knowledge not Love

Do you know my Pearl Jewels that LOVE does not keep your marriage, Knowledge keeps your marriage. Love is necessary though but all there is. I was listening to my Late Mentor and all he said made so much sense, so I will break it down the best possible way I can.

Now the question I will ask is What is Love?
Love is a variety of different feelings, states and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. 

What you know

Today I will start by asking what is knowledge? Knowledge is a familiarity awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, description or skills which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.

Marriages are Fragile

There is a quote I saw that says " Marriages are fragile. They must be nurtured and protected if they are to survive a lifetime". What I will say is that marriages are indeed for a life time and not for 1 year or 2. Now what I believe this quote should teach is that as a spouse to another spouse, you should learn to handle your spouse properly, you should be a learner, giver, forgiver, lover, servant, etc as much as you can fill the blanks with. Your spouse is fragile whether you believe it or not is the truth. How you treat them matters a lot. Some people just feel because they are married, is the time for them to relax and do things that suite just them alone and this is a very wrong notion. 

God Centered Marriage

From today I will start a series titled, ingredients for a successful marriage, where I will take one ingredient per day till I am done. Therefore I would start with.

1) God centered marriage: Yes finally I am here. I know that this NGO is not religion bound in any way, but you see I have a source from where all these write-ups come from daily and God is the source, the holy spirit my teacher and Christ my Leader.

Passion and Commitment

Today will be on Passion and commitment as one of the successful ingredient for marriage.

What is Passion?
Passion is a "strong desire" for anything or when you put "more energy" into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement.
Passion is "ambition" that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body and soul into something as is possible, which is where I will be addressing from.

Compromise

Today's ingredient is COMPROMISE which according to Cambridge Dictionary is an agreement in which the people involved reduced to their demands or change their opinion in order to agree. This to me is very clear and explicit enough. Therefore as couples, I would say that you should learn to agree on each others principles/laws sometimes, learning to give way for your spouse's opinion too.

Intimacy

Good morning My pear Jewels, today I will try and be addressing "intimacy" as one of the ingredients for a God ordained marriage. I try giving an English meaning and definition to most of these ingredients so that explanations can be easier, if not you can go on and on over a particular tip and it might just be difficult to be gotten.
