10 TEMPTATIONS IN MARRIAGE

1. TEMPTATION TO BLAME
You might feel a desire to focus on your spouse's wrongs and you forget to look at yours. Be objective to notice your contribution in the issues of the marriage

2. TEMPTATION TO PURSUE ANOTHER
You might find it easy to connect with another online or offline, especially when you and your spouse get too familiar with each other or have problems. Don't fall for distraction

3. TEMPTATION TO REVENGE
When your spouse hurts you, there may be a temptation to get back at him/her to even the score. Avoid this, tit for tat is ugly, the cycle never ends

4. TEMPTATION TO QUESTION IF YOU WERE MEANT TO BE
When you two are going through a tough time, you might be tempted to think you two were not destined to be together. Calm down, true love doesn't mean absence of challenges

5. TEMPTATION TO LUST
You might be tempted to experiment on new sexual experiences; either online through p**n sites, social media groups on WhatsApp or Telegram, at work or with an old flame. Remember lust doesn't last, don't destroy the permanent for temporary fun

6. TEMPTATION TO COMPARE
You might be tempted to compare your marriage and that of others. Remember every couple has their own story and are at different seasons. Focus on your unique journey

7. TEMPTATION TO ABANDON
Walking with a spouse requires patience and understanding, your spouse might not always grow as fast as you in some areas and you might be tempted to leave your spouse behind as you focus on your own growth. This is how couples drift apart. Encourage, don't abandon

8. TEMPTATION TO ABUSE
In moments of anger, you might feel an urge to say hurtful words, slap your spouse, throw things at your spouse or push your spouse. Restrain yourself. Let your self-control check you

9. TEMPTATION TO DEFY GOD
You might feel like blaming God and even stop doing marriage God’s way when your marriage suffers loss or goes through trials. Don't run away from God, run to God

10. TEMPTATION TO QUIT
You might be tempted to end the marriage especially when you feel frustrated and have a major fight. Don't ride on your feelings, think it through. Not every problem warrants a divorce.

God bless you......

UNCLE Musa.

After living in the United States for 40 years and at the age of 70, Uncle Musa finally relocated to Salagie, The Gambia this year to live in his 5-bedroom house which took him 10 years to complete.

Now in Gambia and in his house, Uncle Musa lives in the living room of the house downstairs while his caretaker lives upstairs in his huge master bedroom.

This is because Uncle Musa cannot climb the stairs without the help of another person.

Even with help, it takes him 10 minutes to make the climb.

As such, Uncle Musa has decided to stay downstairs in the living room as all 5 bedrooms are upstairs.

The house has a living room, toilet and kitchen downstairs; 3 rooms on the first floor and another 2 rooms (including the master bedroom) on the second/last floor.

This is surely not how Uncle Musa anticipated his retirement.

But that is the reality of his journey.

This will be the life of many other Africans living abroad and building mansions back home.

In fact, if you are building a dream house for yourself to live in and the house is not ready by the time you attain the age of 50, forget about it!

Uncle Musa virtually wasted 40 years of his life doing menial jobs abroad, hoping to go and retire back home in his mansion and enjoy life.

But, now he has no life to enjoy and someone else is sleeping in his master bedroom.

Like most aged persons, Uncle Musa is not even able to enjoy a bottle of Malt because it will shoot up his blood sugar level.

Yet, he said he was working hard all his life in order to enjoy life, which includes eating and drinking the finest foods and drinks, when he retires.

Now, he is only able to eat fruit and vegetable salads - and even that, without dressing!

He cannot even eat any of the fine meats out there without his cholesterol sending warning signs.

That is the life of Uncle Musa in retirement.

This will be the story of more than half of us.
The best thing to do is to take mini-retirements now and enjoy.
