I remember watching this video clip on Instagram where a lady and her husband were talking about how she’d feel if he said he was going on a boy’s night out with all the single men. The lady said she didn’t care, that he could go. Even the husband was shocked. He asked her, “With …
Most good men do not wake up one morning and decide they are done with their marriage. I don’t think anybody does, to be honest. Things like that usually happen slowly. One day, a man might think he can cope with the resentment brewing due to his wife’s actions or inactions. The next time, he …
Unfortunately, a lot of husbands carry and keep things they may not share with their wives. Not because they don’t trust them, but because they are not sure how to say them without sounding weak, needy, or misunderstood. As a woman, you might find this difficult to understand; you might wonder why they struggle to …
Marriage is already tough enough on its own. You’ve got bills to pay, kids to nurture, and the stress of just navigating life with another human being. But sometimes, without even realizing it, we actually make marriage harder than it needs to be. I recall watching an interview with Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, in …

You might think being a difficult husband just means you frustrate your wife sometimes. But you see, when you are being a difficult husband, you are not just frustrating your wife, you are also destroying her. I know you may think it’s not that deep, so let me show you how being a difficult husband …
Any time the subject of difficult husbands comes up, I often remember a neighbour who got married when I was quite young (say, 10 or 11). She was quite close to my mum, so I remember overhearing conversations about how excited she was to marry her husband. And I also recall how beautiful the wedding …
