WHY MEN ARE CALLED "GROOM”, AND THE WOMAN “THE BRIDE” ON WEDDING DAY?

Why is the newly wedded man called GROOM and the woman called BRIDE? A friend of mine got tired of his WIFE just about six months after wedding. He complained bitterly to me about her and told me that he has concluded to break up with her; he went on to say that he was sure that he made a mistake. I did not respond immediately because I knew I must tell him the right thing, so I went home. And that is what birth this message.

Many MEN have broken up with their WIVES because they end up not being the WIFE that they have dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task.

Nobody calls the woman WIFE on her wedding day but BRIDE, because it is the man that will GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. That is why the man is called ‘BRIDEGROOM or GROOM’ and the word grooming has to do with PATIENTLY NURTURING, TEACHING, TENDING and HELPING someone to become what he or she should be.

It is therefore believed that a MAN that takes a WOMAN to the ALTAR of MARRIAGE is matured enough to patiently GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. The man is not supposed to just expect the BRIDE to automatically become the WIFE, she must be groomed.

It is clear that many men have unnecessary expectations when they were getting married, they want some magic to happen to their wives, they want them to become what they have had in mind about who they want their wives to be; not considering the fact that the woman does not know what is on your mind except you teach her.

Our expectations are often too unrealistic, because we don’t remember that change takes TIME and we can only expect something from someone that knows what we want.

So before you think of breaking up, have you groomed her? Have you given her TIME to understand you? Hope you realize that a turtle will never become a hawk? God often brings People that are opposites of each other together in MARRIAGE so that they can HELP EACH OTHER in their place of weaknesses. If your WIFE is weak where you are weak, then where will you get the strength that is needed? The problem with many of us is that we don’t accept People before attempting to change them. Of course, your wives are not from your backgrounds, so it will take TIME for them to adjust. Stop trying to change her, ACCEPT her, LOVE her, TEACH her and be PATIENT with her; that is what grooming is all about. She is going to be your WIFE but she is your BRIDE now, so GROOM her. Stop complaining about her, she may be a turtle and you a hawk, she cannot fly so be PATIENT with her. I don’t believe that your MARRIAGE can’t work, be PATIENT and allow GOD to HELP you.

May Almighty God continue to be with us, guide and protect us in all our affairs Amen!!! Wishing you the best Marital Life ever to all single Ladies,Bros and Married ones here.

You will have the marriage of your dreams. A marriage made in heaven.

Listen up, Men!

This might sting, but it’s the truth.

A lot of people have stories—stories of struggle, pain, rejection, hard work, dreams, and even failures. But here's the hard part: nobody will care about your story simply because you’ve been through tough times. Why? Because everyone has gone or going through something. Everyone has a story to tell of what they’ve been through trying to succeed in life.

Some was not actually their fault but life threw situations and occurrences at them. They began to fight trying to make it to the top, trying to make things work, trying to get some of the problems solved or even trying to heal. But the hard truth is that the world doesn’t care and cannot pause for a second no matter how touching these stories are.

The world only starts paying attention to your story when you make something meaningful out of it. When you use your pain to fuel your purpose, when you turn rejection into a reason to rise, and when you use your dreams as a blueprint to build something valuable, then your story begins to matter.

Think about it:
- People didn’t care about Steve Jobs’ story until he built Apple.
- Nobody cared about Oprah Winfrey’s painful childhood until she became a global media icon.
- The world didn’t pause to listen to Tyler Perry’s homeless-to-success story until he became one of the highest-paid filmmakers.

The common thread here is simple: they made their story make sense by creating results.

Your story has the potential to inspire the world, but only when you add value to it by turning it into something worth paying attention to. Pain isn’t enough. Dreams aren’t enough. Even hard work isn’t enough. What makes your story powerful is what you do with it.

So instead of expecting people to care just because you’ve had it rough, work on yourself. Grow. Build. Succeed. Create something meaningful from your struggle. Make your story one that demands to be heard—not because of pity, but because of what you’ve become despite it all.

When you become a person of value, when your life speaks of courage, transformation, and success, people will start listening. They will be drawn to your story—not because of how it started, but because of how you turned it around.

In the end, your story matters, but only if you make it matter.
Make it make sense.

*SUCCESS IS A PROCESS, NOT JUST A WISH.*

- Goal without a deadline = Fantasy

Without urgency, dreams remain just dreams. Deadlines create accountability.

- Goal + deadline = Objective

A timeline turns a vague idea into something measurable and achievable.

- Goal + deadline + Plan = Intention

A solid plan bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

- Goal + deadline + Plan + Consistency = Success

Consistency is the secret weapon. Small, deliberate actions every day lead to big results.

Success is a formula—dream it, structure it, and execute it relentlessly.

17 THINGS TO DO DIFFERENTLY AS A COUPLE

1. Have a joint vision for your love. Don't just be together without direction. Agree on areas you will grow in, things that will define your year and projects you will pursue together

2. Give each other eye contact more, this communicates love and attention. Unfortunately, the more some stay together, the less they show care

3. Appreciate each other more and complain less. Tone down the fault finding. The more you appreciate each other, the more you two will be inspired to do better

4. Communicate better. Send each other warmer texts, call each other more even if for just a brief conversation. Scroll down your messages and see love. Be each other's peace

5. Laugh more. Find things that bring you both laughter. Watch comedies, be each other's clown, share funny videos, smile more. It makes things warmer between you two

6. Support each other's dreams. None should feel like their progress is being curtailed. Find out your partner's dream and help to achieve it

7. Increase your joint wealth. Analyse how you two make money and use money and maximize your earnings. Add or improve your revenue streams. Save. Invest

8. Find a person, a family or a cause that you can help together as a couple. Be a blessing to people as a joint force. When you are a blessing to others together, you will not focus on petty fights between you two

9. Listen to the concern you partner has about your friends or your habits and see if they are substantive. Don't hold on to friends and a lifestyle that pulls you down as a couple

10. Agree on a joint approach to your parents and in-laws and ways you can be a blessing to them as a couple

11. Pray more together as a couple. Cultivate your individual relationship with God and your walk with God as a couple

12. Have your legacy as a couple in mind. What legacy do you want to leave behind to this generation and your children as a couple? Mentor your child/children. Make success stories out of each year

13. Be more deliberate about listening to each other and making each other feel special by custom making your love to love your partner the way your partner wants to be loved and vice versa

14. Travel. Try out new experiences you have never been to or felt. Go out on dates more and make time for quality time. Companionship needs allocated time

15. For the married, seek to please each other more sexually. Desire to give your spouse amazing sexual experiences and vice versa

16. Touch each other more, rub each other's waist and hug more even when sex is not the agenda. This builds security

17. Listen less to gossip about each other from others. Be smart with your smart phone, don't let that small gadget come in between you two

Great minds have purposes, others have dreams!

Just Believe in God

GOD Bless Your Day My People,
From Chimezie (AKA, Don Talent)

Success is not reserved for those who are merely interested—it is earned by those who are deeply committed.

Interest fades when challenges arise, but commitment endures through every storm. The interested work when it's easy, when conditions are favorable. But the committed? They work regardless. They don’t wait for perfect timing—they create it. They don’t rely on motivation—they’re fueled by purpose.

You can never conquer what you're not fully committed to.
Commitment is the price you must pay for greatness. It comes before success—not just in life, but even in the dictionary.

True commitment means showing up when you’re tired, pressing on when you’re discouraged, and staying focused when distractions scream for your attention. It's not glamorous—but it’s what builds champions.

Success doesn’t stumble upon people. People chase it down with fierce determination.
If you’re standing still, waiting for success to knock on your door, you’ll be waiting forever. This is your sign: stop waiting. Start moving. Start building. Start becoming. Now is the time for action.

Let these truths guide you:

Success is never an accident.
It is always the result of consistent effort, disciplined action, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Every achievement is built on a foundation of small, unseen sacrifices that most people aren’t willing to make.

Fear is the greatest enemy of dreams.
The only thing that truly makes your vision impossible is the fear of failure. But failure is not your enemy—it’s your teacher.

> “Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the path to success. Those who avoid failure also avoid greatness.”

Success will never lower its standards to meet you where you are.
You must rise. You must grow. You must stretch. If you want to achieve something you’ve never had, you must become someone you’ve never been.

Stay committed—even when it’s hard. Even when no one’s watching. Even when it feels like nothing’s happening.
Because success doesn’t respond to wishful thinking. It responds to relentless effort.

You’ve got what it takes.
Now go prove it—to yourself.

Hello

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose, The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
