A year ago, my family & I moved from Abuja to Lagos. It didn’t take us long to realize that the rules for love in these 2 cities were different. While the former was relaxed & gave us more time to be intentional, the latter was so upbeat & before long, affected our marital health Image New crazy environment, new routine, new jobs, new responsibilities; we found ourselves crashing under the pressure that came with the new phase. It seemed like the only time we had left was just sufficient to eat and sleep.

After we got married, we were so optimistic in making our marriage work. The raw joy and love we felt on the wedding day made me feel convinced that we had all we needed to make that happen. What we didn’t know was that there were several NATURAL THREATS TO MARRIAGE

She was middle aged and had this look of disdain seeing me changing my son, and she said... "...Why is Daddy doing Mummy's Job? Please give the baby to his mother". This wasn't my first time experiencing this, where some older women just assume incompetence once they see me involved or perceive my wife as being spoilt and conclude that I'm weak or controlled
