  Sexual intimacy in marriage 26/02/2022 Sexual intimacy is a sacred thing that God is has instituted between man and woman that should be reserved for marriage is critical to a happy healthy marriage and is, unfortunately, one of the most common problems in marriage. The biggest reason sexual intimacy is a problem in marriage. The biggest reason sexual intimacy is a problem in marriage is that there isn’t any. We get caught up in life with work and kids and errands, there is just not enough time in the day. And there are some couples that when they finally have time to themselves, they went on to relax and unwind for an hour before they go into bed. In this era of our time, there are so many things that couples can do to keep their intimacy alive, and most marriages are being broken up and divorced due to a lack of sexual intimacy in marriages. Today I would like to give out so many hits that couples can apply in their marriage and keep their intimacy strong and alive. Some of...
  Preparing for Marriage 19/02/2022 The past week I have been reading books about marriage and have come up with so many questions and concerns on preparation for marriage I have pondered on this question on how we prepare for marriage and some of these questions which I think and ponder about were! Have you ever experienced marriage disappointment? Preparing for marriage comes with so many huge expectations from both sides of the two partners. However, there is nothing wrong with holding yourself and others to high standards, but it needs to be tempered with a dose of reality. When you let your expectation become impossible to meet, you set your relationship up for disappointment and frustration. Your partner might feel discouraged how can they possibly measure up? Why even try? You might also have a tendency to see anything less than perfect as a failure when that’s simply the case. We‘re both human, and mistakes will be made. We work on recognizing when being you are too har...
  COURTSHIP IN RELATIONSHIP 12/02/2022             Male handsomeness and female beauty are good gifts from God. The scripture is unashamed to speak of men who had attractive physical appearance and women who had beautiful faces and get these beautiful bodies. Now, I am regularly asked if it is important for a Christian man or woman to be physically attracted to the person they are dating. As I’ve asked this question in the past, I have found that counsel usually comes in one of two basic answers. One answer is that no physical attraction isn’t important and shouldn’t be part of one’s initial consideration; rather, a person’s godly character should be the primary factor, physical attraction is important and should also be part of the equation. Unfortunately, while I agree more with the second of the two, neither of the typical answers to this question go deep enough to provide sufficiently biblical counsel. In order to ful...
  The Same-Sex Attraction 5/02/2022 This week in family relation class, we discuss same-sex attraction for men and women there are so many things that I have observed from the discussion and all this comes with gender. Going into the spiritual realms God created man and woman with different characteristics. Now talking about same-sex attraction, people say have different beliefs about this behavior which says it is something they have inherited some says it is a spiritual attitude, some also say it is an individual character but to my point of view, for this whole argument, all I will say about this topic is it is something which is being influenced by peers and this will lead me to a story that a man shares with us how he was drug into homosexuality.  According to him, when he was 19 years old, he lost both parents and there was no one to provide for him even to send him to school so, therefore, he starts selling candies at the roadside till one day he meet two men and th...
  Family Culture and Diversity 29/01/2022 This week topic in our family relation class which talk about family culture and diversity, when we talk about family culture and diversity, they are customs, norms and tradition of a family society. I came from a community whereby each family in that community follow and practice a tradition in that community and this tradition is about a child will inherit his uncle property not their own father’s property. And this was a true story which happen so many years ago about a certain king in that community, this king marries two wives and the first wife have eight children while the second wife had twelve children. These women live with their children together with this king, everything was going well with all of them, and the king also have a lot of inheritance he owns many properties that in a extend that when he dies all his children are all going to inherit his properties without leaving no one behind. However, his children were also...
Second Blog Check Family Roles and Rules This week we discuss family roles and rules and from what I learned in class this is family roles are a set of values and responsibilities that some accept or feel. Someone else should want to accept and learn something about family rules which normally have two sets of rules and some of these rules can cause harmony or stress which sometimes family members are aware of them. I came from a very closed family whereby there are a lot of roles and laws and some of these roles and rules are, when I was a child, my dad and my mom play a role in providing the needs of the family and we as children our duty is sweeping the compound, fetching water to the house to fill containers, going on an earn when needed, washing dishes and setting up a table for a dinner. My dad goes to work each morning to look for our daily bread my mother has a shop that sells provision items so therefore when we were kids my mother always wake up early and prepare for us t...
 Eric Akornor Boatey THE SOCIETAL TRENDS WITH FAMILY I will like to do my post on husband, wife, and children. These three people come together to form families. Husband and wife who are one of the most important relationships within the household were between the husband and his wife. In ancient societies cultures, there are some practices of monogamous marriage although a man but not a woman, could have other sexual partners outside the marriage, he had only one legitimate wife. Only her children were fully recognized as heirs to his property, and this issue of the man having children outside the family sometimes causes chaos and anarchy to some families when it comes to sharing of properties. I came from a society whereby most men usually cohabit and have children with other women before they get married to their legitimate wives and this comes with a story my grandma shared with me some years ago about a man with his family and according to the story, this man was a businessman...
