I don’t really think a marriage can ever be defined as something so small as a shoe. But when I think about how hard life can be; the ups, the downs, the twists, the turns- there are always new adventures to face and new hurdles to jump over.Just like the pair of shoes, you need maintenance, upkeep, touch ups. A quick polish here and there to show you care and notice and to them you’ll look brand new, with these in mind I can say "MARRIAGE is like a shoe.  When you wear oversize, be ready to drag it along throughout life, and when you wear under-size be ready to feel the pains throughout life”. One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is.Dear Singles, when you are ready to buy your own shoe please take note of these three things:   PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:  Do not look for the beautiful ones, the nice ones or the cheap ones.

“Has he ever trapped you in a room and not let you out? Has he ever raised a fist as if he were going to hit you? Has he ever thrown an object that hit you or nearly did? Has he ever held you down or grabbed you to restrain you? Has he ever shoved, poked, or grabbed you? Has he ever threatened to hurt you? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then we can stop wondering whether he’ll ever be violent; he already has been.”   Children who are victims of domestic violence more often than not grow up to violent and also become abusers themselves.

They feel in control when they subject their partners under their tyranny. I don’t think there is any one particular class of men that are abusive. It cuts across all walks of life – classes, religions, occupations, races, lifestyle….. everythi...

marriage is not a bed of roses, if you believe so, you're in dreamland, however, it can be rewarding, just as in everything in life, if you want something good, you must work hard towards it, you must sacrifice to get it..   Everyday won't be a honeymoon, there will be times of strife, there will be fights, all these are normal, even teeth and tongue as close as they are, they do fight, siblings fights, and they were raised in the same environment, not to talk of hubby and wifely whom were raised in different households under different circumstances........   Never give room for your spouse to unload themselves on another person,men never allow another man to put a smile on your wife's face while you're putting her in tears, you are slowly pushing her away women, never tell your tales of heart-brokenness to another man, you are giving him the map into your heart, he will sneak in without you knowing till it's too late to stop yourself from falling.
