Prevention is Better Than Cure



Quite a lot of us will be much familiar with the above caption and it is mostly associated with health and the medical field. I won't be talking about medical science but rather I'd be unraveling mysteries to you about your relationship health and life.

Many only go to hospitals when they are very sick but they ignore little symptoms that led to their health issues. A lot of singles too ignored warning signs or symptoms of relationship issues due to their negligence or ignorance and they fell sick relationship wise.

After the deed has been done, they're now scrambling for help. It is better to prevent your life from relationship issues than to be looking for a cure to it.

I'd itemize few relationship issues and the preventive measures to take so you won't be a patient (victim).

1. Premarital sex
This is simply having sexual intimacy before marriage as singles, an issue God vehemently frowns at. Several symptoms that precede this issue are; engaging in erotic conversations, lustful thoughts, tolerating sexual immoralities such as kissing, petting, caressing each other's sexual organs and persistent demands for sex by the opposite sex.

Are any of these signs manifesting in your relationship, nip them in the bud before it's too late?

2. Single parenting
Lots of young ladies are victims of this and many are single mothers as a result of the poor choices they made. Situations that leads to this includes; first time sexual intimacy, disobedience to godly and parental instruction and frequent premarital sex.

If he's pestering you for sex before marriage, or she's pestering you for sex, run so that you won't become a single parent due to your negligence.

3. Sexual immoralities
Immoral activities that are sexual in nature involves kissing, petting, caressing each other's sexual organs, erotic conversations and the likes. There are lots of single men and women that are victims of this. They can't keep a relationship without all the aforementioned activities.

Can a man (or woman) take fire in his bosom and his clothes be not burned? If you tread the corridor of sexual immoralities, it'll definitely land you in premarital sex or unplanned parenthood. You can't continue with any of these activities and it wouldn't land you in trouble - sooner or later.

4. Soul tie
There are two causes of soul tie, one that is sexual and one that result from frequent communication.

When you keep talking to the opposite sex through any of the social media platform available to you or other means, your souls will knit together. Affection will build up, emotional connection will be established and you'd almost be speaking the same language and in the long run, lust will set in.

When this happens, it'll be difficult for you to resist him or her for their sexual demands such as kissing, premarital sex, petting, caressing and so on. Guard your soul against ungodly tie.

5. Addiction
People get addicted to many things in life; pornography, masturbation, premarital sex and other sexual sins. When you keep doing any of the above repeatedly within days, weeks and months, it becomes a strong hold and you'd be a slave to it.

It's better to be addicted to good things than to be addicted to bad things that would put your life in bondage. Watch that habit you're building lest you become addicted to it.

6. Confusion

"I love him but he wants sex, what should I do"? "I love her younger sister, should I proceed"?

Many get confused in life due to their lack of knowledge. They sometimes know what to do but they ignore doing the right thing due to prevalent circumstances (emotional attachment).

When there's light, darkness gives way. But when you have the light and you refuse to use it, you'll be confused.

7. Heart break
This is a popular symptom in many failed relationships. It is mostly caused by having overrated expectations from whom you are in a relationship with or putting your all into a relationship you're not fully certain about. This happens to both gender but women are more at the receiving end.

To avoid this issue, don't commit your heart to any relationship God is not leading you to or that you're suspicious of. It is even better that you give God your heart so that He will preserve it for you rather than give men or women your heart who will shatter it, deliberately or unconsciously.

Check your present relationship, if any of these symptoms persist, don't confuse yourself but quit the relationship otherwise you'll become a victim. There's no how you can nurse the symptoms of sickness for too long without it destroying you.

You can only suppress that relationship issue symptoms, but not for too long, if you don't prevent the symptoms by quitting the relationship and do the necessary things, it'll destroy you. Remember, prevention is better than cure.

Knowing "When" to Enter Into a Relationship (Marriage)

Because man is a time-conscious being, he is most likely worried about getting certain things done at a specific period of his life. One of such things is the "When" to enter into a relationship.  There's a relationship leading to marriage and there's a relationship whose goal is never aimed at marriage.  Many young people have dabbled into a relationship at the wrong time with the aim of marriage, only to discover that they have wasted and destroyed their time, life and resources in such relationships because marriage was never intended.  There's time for everything under the heavens, says the Holy Writ. There's time to love, and there's time to refrain from embracing.  When you venture into a cause or thing at the wrong time, you're sure to have your fingers burnt or perhaps destroy yourself in the long run.  Do you know that no father would buy a car for his toddler son until the time appointed? And in a sane clime, no one dare to drive a car withou...

The Mystery Behind Wet Dreams

There's a mystery behind wet dream, it is simple, but sometimes complicated. It's simple in the sense that a sexually inactive mature man may sometimes experience wet dreams which is biologically called nocturnal emission - a process whereby men experience an ejaculation of semen during the night.  Sperms has limited days in which they can last in the human body and new ones needs to be produced. Unused sperms within 21 days are reabsorbed in the body.  It is possible for females too to experience nocturnal orgasm or wet dreams - a sexual arousal during sleep that awakens them to perceive the experience of an orgasm. All of these, both male and female experiences of wet dreams are sometimes related to having sex in the dream.  So, if you haven't had sex for years, it's likely that you might have wet dreams. Don't be scared, it's a normal development that occurs in your body. But when it happens within days and weeks repeatedly, two things are ...

Why Dating Isn't Ok

Dating to several people means different things but one general meaning accorded to it is a non-platonic relationship that exist between the opposite sex. Dating, has become a popular act people practice to know whom their potential marital partner would be. It's a term that stems out from the western world and has crept into the Christian faith. They indulge in romance and later graduate to sexual immoralities with the aim of knowing whom to marry. Does God categorically stated it in His word that He hates dating? Nay! But there are pointers to it in His word. I'd humbly suggest that you unlearn all the self-help principles you have learnt when it comes to choosing a life partner and learn it the God's way so that you can get the God-kind of result. Why does God hate it? 1. It exposes you to the evil men and women do for 'love' sake Because the heart is evil and desperately wicked, dating a man or woman can't mak...
