THE SILENT ARCHITECTS: HOW WONEN BUILD FAMILIES AND SHAPE GENERATIONS

Introduction
Women, by their nature, body structure, emotions, command great influence in the home, community and the world at large.
It is a common saying: "Behind every successful man there is a woman."
I'm not advocating for bad or irresponsible men, but no matter how "bad" a man may be, if his wife is good, Godly, disciplined, industrious, of good influence, the children will turn out good.

Women are Superb Creatures
- They have greater endurance than men.
- Can work on several projects at the same time, whereas, men would want to concentrate on one at a time.
- Are the primary caretakers of children and the elderly.
- They have the tendency to stay in their marriage than men.
- Are relationship oriented while men are task oriented.
- Are the wombs that birth and nurture destinies.
- Are more faithful to their marriage vows than men.
- Generally, a widow will remain unmarried and take proper care of her children.
- Many of the world most successful people were raised by single mothers.

For example,
1. Ben Carson- the renowned Neorosurgeon and leader.
He has this to say about his mother Sonya Carson: "I had a mother who never accepted excuses."

2. Barack Obama- USA 44th President
He has this to say about his mother Ann Dunham: "My mother was the single most important influence in my life."

Bill Clinton- USA 42nd President.
He said about his mother Virginia Kelly: "My mother gave me the power of belief."

4. Oprah Winfrey- Media Mogul and Billionaire.
She has this to say about her mother Vernita Lee: "I know the power of a determined woman."

5. LeBron James-NBA Superstar.
He said concerning his mother: "Everything I am today is because of my mon."

6. Wizkid Afrobeats- Global Star
This is what he said about his mother: "My mother prayed me into success."

Conclusion
Women are the wombs that birth and nurture destinies. When they know, value, appreciate and carry out their God-assigned responsibilities, there will be joy, prosperity, development in our homes, our youths will turn out good, there will be peace in our communities and the world at large.

BEFORE YOU SAY I DO
Before you say I do, the following are the points to consider:

1. Do you respect him?

2. Do you have common goals?

3. Are you relaxed around him?

4. Can you express yourself freely before him?

5. Do you like him?

6. Is he willing to make commitment?

7. Does he show respect for your opinion?

8. Is he asking or constantly asking for s*x?

9. Is he down to earth or lives to impress people?

10. Is he secretive?

11. Has he won the battle against s*xual immortality?

12. Does he fill the air with positive thinking?

13. Is he transparent and accountable?

14. Does he lead double lives?

15. What is his understanding of marriage?

16. Does he find a place in his heart for forgiveness?

17. How does he treat others- politely or otherwise?

"Well married, a man is winged like an eagle, ill-married, he is chained and cursed."

Marriage is not a man's idea and institution- it's God's and came with a guiding operating manual.

Since you can only see the outward appearance, why don't you ask Him who knows all inside out?

WORDS ARE POWERFUL , USE THEM WISELY

Texts: Psalms 107: 17-20; Matthew 8: 5- 13; Matthew 12: 33 - 37; Mark 11: 23 - 24

Introduction
Why is it that many people find it difficult to believe God's Word? They don't value and believe their own words. Had they valued and believed their own words, they would have valued and believed God's Word.

WORDS ARE POWERFUL
- Nothing exist without words.
- Sacrifices amount to nothing without words.

- Marriages come to being because of words.
- When good words cease, marriage ceases to be.
War, violence, murder and all vices are products of words.
- Words are more powerful than atomic and hydrogen bonds, nuclear and chemical weapons.
- Words have the resemblance of eggs, once broken or released, cannot be gathered again.
- Words stretch out God's hands or shorten them. Isaiah 59: 1-2
- Words are eternal, they don't die. Psalms 119: 89; John 6:63
- Words make or mar things.
- God created the universe by His Word.
- You create your own world by your words.

*WHAT* *WORDS* *CAN* *DO*

WHAT WOMEN WANT FROM THEIR HUSBANDS

Are married women asking for too much from their husbands? I don't think so. If they have to leave their people, drop their maiden names and for the rest of their lives, be subject to their husbands in everything, I don't think an average married woman is asking for too much from her husband.

Generally, women want the following from their husbands:
- Affection
- Emotional security
- Financial security
- Respect
- Transparency in all matters.
- Real and open communication.
- Protection
- Faithfulness to the marriage
vow.
- Strong character - not a
weakling
- Taking the leadership role.
- Commitment to their
relationships and responsibilities.
- Helping hand in the house
chores.
- Confidence in their abilities.
- To be introduced with an air of
pride.
- To be heard and heard
out.
- Attention
- Appreciation.
- Care.
- Encouragement
- Touch of love
- Gifts
- Sweet words
- Companionship.

If men would do the above sincerely, effectively and at the right time, we will see our homes bubbling with happiness, progress and mutual trust, our children coming out better and our society transformed.

"No other success can compensate for the failure in the home." - David O. McKay

MEN, please take note.

THE REASONS FOR MANY OF THE PROBLEMS IN THE HOME (CONTINUATION)

- Men are task oriented while women are relationship oriented
- Men take esteem from their work, women from their home.
- Men want individuality while women want attachment.
- Women usually find it a lot easier to be open than men.
- In marriage relationship, women place more value on Love, affection and romance - they view s*x as a by product of Love.
- Men grow in their Love for their wives through s*xual fulfilment whereas, Women find s*xually fulfilment when they are sure if their husband's love.
- Women take longer time to become aroused s*xually.
- Women don't approach love the way Men do, Men are driven by their eros drive and can move into s*xual desire even before love appears.
- What Women want in marriage is love not s*x.
- Women who have extramarital affairs usually do so because they are angry, lonely, insecure, or generally unfulfilled in their marriage relationship.

When husbands and their wives understand, appreciate, accommodate and work with the above facts, they will have a blissful and prosperous marriage.

Do that now, and you will see the wall of partition between you and your spouse collapsing almost immediately.

THE REASONS FOR MANY OF THE PROBLEMS IN THE HOME.

Many of the problems in the home arise because we don't understand, appreciate, accommodate and work with the fact that in our relationship, husbands and wives are emotionally, physically, culturally and psychologically different.

What Are The Differences?
- Men and women think and act
differently.
- Men have a higher metabolic rate
than women.
- Women have greater endurance
than men.
- Men are often physically aroused
by visual stimuli; women by touch,
caresses and affection.
- Our brain function differently -
men are more left-hemisphere
controlled while women are more
right-hemisphere controlled.
- Men are logical, women are
emotional, intuitive - men are
thinkers, women are feelers.
- Women are more perceptive than
men.
- Women can work on several
projects at once, men want to
attend to one at a time.
- Men are more apt to leave their
marriage than women.
- Men are assertive while women
like protection.

WHO IS A FRIEND?

A friend is someone:
- You are comfortable with.
- Whose company you prefer.
- You can count on - not only for support, but for honesty.
- Who believes in you.
- With whom you can share your dreams and in fact, all your life.
- Who offers you safety and trust.
- Who does not use your weakness against you.
- Who laughs with you, but not at you.
- Who prays with you and for you.
- Who hears your cry of pain.
- Who senses your struggle.
- Who accepts you, loves you, unconditionally.
- Who takes you in when others throw you out.
- Who believes in your ability when others write you off.
- Who sees a gold mine in you when others see failure.
- Who gives up his comfortability for your comfortability.
- Who is ready to spend and be spent for you.

In such a friendship, nothing is hidden, both parties come naked but not ashamed. Go and be that to your friend.

WHAT A PARADOX!

Some couples give their bodies to each other but not their money. Is money greater or more valuable than the body?
Please be reminded that when couples copulate, they:
- Give their bodies to each other.
- Enter into a blood covenant or renew it.
- Their souls come together as one.
- Exchange life.
- Share each other's glory, goodness, blessings, future, curses and s*xually transmitted diseases (if any).
If couples share all the above when they copulate, why then do some find it extremely difficult if not impossible, to share their money? What do you think are responsible for this?
- The love of money and material things?
- We don't place value on ourselves but on money?
- Money is tangible while s*x is not?
- Ignorance of what marriage is?
- Poor or Lack of accountability?
- Lack of understanding of the purpose of life?
- Financial illiteracy on the part of one or both parties?
- Reckless and unwise spending?
- Lack of vision for financial freedom and independence?
- Selfishness on the part of one or both parties?
- What obtained in the family where one or both parties grew up?

Friends, what is your take on this?

IN SEARCH OF READY-MADE SPOUSE?

A man came back home, as told by Mrs Dale Carnegie, and handed to his wife a twenty dollar bill. The wife asked him what it was meant for.

He told her to take the twenty dollars and go over to her Mother because they have lost everything- their businesses, house, cars, club membership, everything! That he would go to work again and when he makes it, he would come for her.

The woman said, "If you sleep under the bridge tonight or in a one-dollar-a-night motel, we will sleep there together. I believe in you and will want to be besides you when you make it again."

What happened? The man recovered everything they lost within a year. She was there when her husband needed her most. What a sweet victory they had and enjoyed together!

Early last year, a man in my neighborhood committed su***de because he lost his business. Most importantly however, because his wife was not on ground to comfort, console and put him on recovery track. She wanted ready-made; she bolted away.

Marriage is like a natural ability- talent. It takes one to discover, appreciate, dig out, refine, develop, and put his talent to commercial advantage before it becomes beneficial to one and humanity.

Some however, leave their talents unappreciated and undeveloped but are coveting those of others.

Friend, are you in search of a ready-made spouse? He/she doesn't exist anywhere. When you come to the school of marriage, God expects you to build up yourself, your spouse and your marriage until you are proud to present that spouse to yourself a rounded, responsible, fulfilled, successful and joyful personality.

Please take responsibility. Labour and commit yourself to building your marriage as there is no ready-made spouse anywhere.

"As you lay your bed, so you lie on it".
Cheers.
