MEN'S DESK 0911

Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim. (I have in mind the parable of a Good Samaritan)

The unthankful heart . . . discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.

On behalf of the Men’s Desk steering committee we are grateful for your generous donations which made a huge difference in organising the event, and making sure it was a success…
Your presence and support was overwhelming and much appreciated. For this we are forever grateful.

May the Almighty continue to bless you and your families as we continue to reimagine a new world free of GBV.

“Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship:

Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.

Date nights are a must.
Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.

Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.

Learn each others love language.
We all don’t perceive love the same way.

Don’t force a resolution.
Sleeping on it does help.

When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.

It will get boring sometimes.
Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.
It’s normal.
It will fade.
This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.

Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.

It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.

It’s okay to go to couples counselling.
It helps.
It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.

Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.
Build that

Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and just talk to each other.

Ask questions like

“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”

And most importantly, be kind to each other.

Love & Respect each other.

Fight for each other.

Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.

Don’t focus on the negative things in your relationship, because you’ll spend most of your love life always moody/sad or angry.”
