    How do we choose the people we fall in love with?

    The Romantic answer is that our instincts naturally guide us to individuals who are kind and good for us.

    Love is a sort of ecstasy that descends when we feel ourselves in the presence of a benign and nourishing soul, who will answer our emotional needs, understand our sadness and strengthen us for the hard tasks of our lives.

    In order to locate our lover, we must let our instincts carry us along, taking care never to impede them through pedantic psychological analysis and introspection or else considerations of status, wealth or lineage.

    Our feelings will tell us clearly enough when we have reached our destiny. To ask someone with any degree of rigour why exactly they have chosen a particular partner is – in the Romantic world-view – simply an unnecessary and offensive misunderstanding of love: true love is an instinct that accurately and naturally settles on those with a capacity to make us happy.

    The Romantic attitude sounds warm and kind. Its originators certainly imagined that it would bring an end to the sort of unhappy relationships previously brokered by parents and society. The only difficulty is that our obedience to instinct has, very often, proved to be a disaster of its own.

    Respecting the special feelings we get around certain people in nightclubs and train stations, parties and websites and that Romanticism so ably celebrated in art appears not to have led us to be any happier in our unions than a Medieval couple shackled into marriage by two royal courts keen to preserve the sovereignty of a slice of ancestral land. ‘Instinct’ has been little better than ‘calculation’ in underwriting the quality of our love stories.

    Romanticism would not at this point, however, give up the argument quite so easily. It would simply ascribe the difficulties we often have in love to not having looked hard enough for that central fixture of Romantic reverie: the right person. This being is inevitably still out there (every soul must have its soulmate, Romanticism assures us), it is just that we haven’t managed to track them down – yet.

    So we must continue the search, with all the technology and tenacity necessary, and maybe, once the divorce has come through and the house has been sold, we’ll get it right. But there’s another school of thought, this one influenced by psychoanalysis, which challenges the notion that instinct invariably draws us to those who will make us happy.

    The theory insists that we don’t fall in love first and foremost with those who care for us in ideal ways, we fall in love with those who care for us in familiar ways. Adult love emerges from a template of how we should be loved that was created in childhood and is likely to be entwined with a range of problematic compulsions that militate in key ways against our chances of growth.

    We may believe we are seeking happiness in love, but what we are really after is familiarity. We are looking to re-create, within our adult relationships, the very feelings we knew so well in childhood – and which were rarely limited to just tenderness and care.

    The love most of us will have tasted early on was confused with other, more destructive dynamics: feelings of wanting to help an adult who was out of control, of being deprived of a parent’s warmth or scared of his or her anger, or of not feeling secure enough to communicate our trickier wishes.

    How logical, then, that we should as adults find ourselves rejecting certain candidates not because they are wrong but because they are a little too right – in the sense of seeming somehow excessively balanced, mature, understanding and reliable – given that in our hearts, such rightness feels foreign and unearned.

    We chase after more exciting others, not in the belief that life with them will be more harmonious, but out of an unconscious sense that it will be reassuringly familiar in its patterns of frustration. Psychoanalysis calls the process whereby we identify our partners ‘object choice’ – and recommends that we try to understand the factors semi-consciously governing our attractions in order to interrupt the unhealthier patterns that might be at play.

    Our instincts – our strong undercurrents of attraction and revulsion – stem from complicated experiences we had when we were far too young to understand them, and which linger in the antechambers of our minds.

    Psychoanalysis doesn’t wish to suggest that everything about our attractions will be deformed. We may have quite legitimate aspirations to positive qualities: intelligence, charm, generosity… But we are also liable to be fatefully drawn towards trickier tendencies: someone who is often absent, or treats us with a little disdain, or needs to be surrounded all the time by friends, or cannot master their finances.

    However paradoxical it can sound, without these tricky behaviours, we may simply not be able to feel passionate or tender with someone.

    Alternatively, we may have been so traumatised by a parental figure, we cannot approach any partner who shares qualities with them of any kind, even ones disconnected from their negative sides. We might in love be rigidly intolerant of anyone who is intelligent, or punctual or interested in science, simply because these were the traits of someone who caused us a great deal of difficulty early on.

    To choose our partners wisely, we need to tease out how our compulsions to suffering or our rigid flights from trauma may be playing themselves out in our feelings of attraction. A useful starting place is to ask ourselves (perhaps in the company of a large sheet of paper, a pen and a free afternoon) what sort of people really put us off.

    Revulsion and disgust are useful first guides because we are likely to recognize that some of the traits that make us shiver are not objectively negative and yet feel to us distinctly off-putting. We might, for example, sense that someone who asks us too much about ourselves, or is very tender or dependable, will seem extremely eerie and frightening.

    And we might equally well, along the way, recognize that a degree of cruelty or distance belong to an odd list of the things we appear genuinely to need in order to love. It can be tricky to avoid self-censorship here, but the point isn’t to represent ourselves as reassuring, predictable people, but to get to know the curious quirks of our own psyches.

    We’ll tend to find that some ostensibly pretty nice things are getting caught in our love filters: people who are eloquent, clever, reliable, sunny can set off loud alarms. This is vital knowledge. We should pause and try to fathom where the aversions come from, what aspects of our past have made it so hard for us to accept certain sorts of emotional nourishment.

    Each time we recognize a negative, we’re discovering a crucial association in our own minds: we’re alighting on an impossibility of love based on associations from the past projected onto the present. An additional way we can get at the associations which circulate powerfully in the less noticed corners of our brains is to finish stub-sentences, that invite us to respond to things that might charm or repel us about someone.

    We get to see our own reactions more clearly when we write things down without thinking too much about our answers, catching the mind’s unconscious at work.

    For instance, we can deliberately jot the first things that come into our heads when we read the following:
    • If I tell a partner how much I need them, they will…
    • When someone tells me they really need me, I…
    • If someone can’t cope, I…
    • When someone tells me to get my act together, I …
    • If I were to be frank about my anxieties …
    • If my partner told me not to worry, I’d…
    • When someone blames me unfairly, I …

    Our honestly described reactions are legacies. They are revealing underlying assumptions we have acquired about what love can look like. We may start to get a clearer picture that our vision of what we are looking for in another person might not be an especially good guide to our personal or mutual happiness.

    Examining our emotional histories, we see that we can’t be attracted to just anyone. Getting to know the past, we come to recognise our earlier associations for what they are: generalisations we formed – entirely understandably – on the basis of just one or, hugely impressive, examples.

    We’ve unknowingly turned some local associations into strict rules for relationships. Even if we can’t radically shift the pattern, it’s useful to know that we are carrying a ball and chain. It can make us more careful of ourselves when we feel overwhelmed by a certainty that we’ve met the one, after a few minutes chatting at the bar.

    Ultimately, we stand to be liberated to love different people to our initial ‘types’, because we find that the qualities we like, and the ones we very much fear, are found in different constellations from those we encountered in the people who first taught us about affection, long ago in a childhood we are starting at last to understand and free ourselves from.

  • How to Show Love Without Words

    Actions Speak Louder Than Words

    Love is a language that goes beyond words. While verbal expressions are important, the most profound ways of showing love often lie in our actions. Sometimes, your gestures, attention, and thoughtfulness can speak volumes about your feelings, building a deeper connection with your partner. Here’s how you can express love without saying a single word.

    1. Be Present and Attentive

    One of the greatest gifts you can give your partner is your undivided attention. In a world filled with distractions, being present in the moment is a powerful act of love. Put down your phone, look into their eyes, and truly listen. When you show that you value their thoughts and emotions, it communicates care and respect more effectively than words ever could.

    2. Perform Small Acts of Kindness

    It’s the little things that count. Bringing them their favourite coffee, cooking a meal, or simply doing a chore they dislike can brighten their day. These acts of kindness show that you pay attention to their needs and want to make their life easier.

    3. Physical Touch

    Non-verbal communication through physical touch is a cornerstone of expressing love. A warm hug, holding hands, or a gentle pat on the back can convey comfort, security, and affection. These simple gestures remind your partner that you are there for them, offering support and love.

    4. Quality Time

    Spending quality time together strengthens the bond between you and your partner. Plan activities they enjoy, go for a walk or watch a movie together. By dedicating time to shared experiences, you show that their presence is a priority in your life.

    5. Thoughtful Surprises

    Surprises, big or small, are wonderful ways to express love. It could be as simple as leaving a handwritten note or as elaborate as planning a surprise date. These thoughtful gestures show that you’ve been thinking about them and want to make them feel special.

    6. Body Language

    Your body language speaks volumes. A loving glance, a soft smile, or even sitting close during a quiet moment can express feelings of love and comfort. Non-verbal cues are subtle but powerful ways to show how much you care.

    7. Support Their Dreams

    Encourage your partner’s passions and goals. Being their cheerleader and offering your support, whether it’s attending their events, helping them prepare, or simply showing interest, is a profound way to demonstrate your love. Your belief in their abilities can inspire confidence and strengthen your connection.

    8. Be Thoughtful and Observant

    Noticing the little things about your partner shows how much you care. Remember their preferences, pay attention to their mood, and anticipate their needs. For example, offering comfort when they’re stressed or celebrating their small achievements shows that you’re attuned to their life.

    9. Acts of Service

    Actions often speak louder than words, especially when it comes to love. Help them with a task, run an errand, or fix something around the house. These acts of service show your partner that you’re willing to put in the effort to make their life easier and happier.

    10. Respect Their Space

    Sometimes, love means giving space. Respect their boundaries and allow them time to recharge when needed. This shows that you value their individuality and understand their need for balance in the relationship.

    11. Express Gratitude

    Showing appreciation is a beautiful way to convey love. A genuine smile, a nod of acknowledgment, or a small token of gratitude can mean the world to your partner. Gratitude fosters positivity and strengthens emotional intimacy.

    12. Be Consistent

    Love is not just about grand gestures but also about consistent efforts. Small, daily acts of love build a foundation of trust and affection. Whether it’s making them a morning coffee or simply being there when they need you, consistency reassures your partner of your unwavering love.

    Final Thoughts

    Love is an art that doesn’t always require words. Through actions, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness, you can create a relationship that thrives on mutual respect and understanding.

    At the end of the day, love is about making your partner feel cherished, secure, and valued. Speak through your actions, and you’ll discover that the language of love is truly universal.

  • 20 LIES WOMEN USE TO CONTROL MEN — AND WHY MOST MEN NEVER SEE THEM COMING

    INTRO MESSAGE: Most men don’t get destroyed by one big betrayal.
    They get chipped away little by little — by words disguised as care, guilt wrapped as love, and manipulation dressed up as “concern.”

    You start doubting your instincts.
    You stop enforcing your standards.
    You let things slide.

    And before you know it…
    You’re a shell of who you used to be.

    This isn’t about blaming women.
    It’s about seeing the game for what it is and refusing to be a pawn.

    Here’s the raw truth most men never hear:

    BRUTAL THREAD:

    1️⃣ “You’re overthinking it.”
    A classic gaslight. It makes you doubt your gut so she can set the narrative.

    2️⃣ “All my exes were toxic.”
    If everyone she dated was a demon, she’s either lying, the problem, or both.

    3️⃣ “I’ve never felt this way before.”
    Translation: Let me hit you with intense love bombing so you won’t notice the games later.

    4️⃣ “Why ruin this with labels?”
    She wants the benefits of loyalty without the burden of accountability.

    5️⃣ “You’re too good for me.”
    Fake vulnerability that pressures you to work harder for her bare minimum.

    6️⃣ “I need time to figure things out.”
    Stalling tactic. She’s buying time while keeping you hooked.

    7️⃣ “I don’t want to ruin our friendship.”
    She wants boyfriend benefits without boyfriend responsibility.

    8️⃣ “I didn’t mean it like that.”
    A get-out-of-jail-free card to avoid owning her words or actions.

    9️⃣ “You’re insecure.”
    A way to shame you into silence when you question shady behavior.

    “You should trust me.”
    Trust is earned, not demanded. Red flag when there’s nothing to back it up.

    1️⃣1️⃣ “I’ve never done this before.”
    Faking innocence so you’ll excuse reckless behavior.

    1️⃣2️⃣ “I just want communication.”
    Many don’t want truth — they want ammo. Watch what you give them.

    1️⃣3️⃣ “I was just busy.”
    Once is life. Repeatedly is a pattern. Don’t ignore patterns.

    1️⃣4️⃣ “I would never do that to you.”
    If you didn’t accuse her, why’s she defending herself? Unprompted means something’s up.

    1️⃣5️⃣ “My phone died.”
    Phones die. Batteries recharge. Patterns don’t lie.

    1️⃣6️⃣ “You’re so much better than my ex.”
    Flattery disguised as manipulation. Now you’re competing with a ghost.

    1️⃣7️⃣ “My last relationship really hurt me.”
    Her pain isn’t your burden. You’re not her therapist.

    1️⃣8️⃣ “I don’t care about money.”
    Wait ‘til the expectations creep in. Watch actions, not cheap words.

    1️⃣9️⃣ “I’m fine.”
    Passive-aggressive silence to make you chase and fold first.

    2️⃣0️⃣ “I’m not like other girls.”
    Every manipulator swears she’s different. Real quality never needs to announce itself.

    FINAL WARNING:

    Every man has two choices: Wake up and take control of his mind, standards, and peace.
    Or get quietly dismantled by subtle lies and fake sweetness disguised as love.

    This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about wisdom.

    A man who stands on his truth — unshaken, unmanipulated, and unapologetic — becomes untouchable in a world that profits off weak men.

    Guard your mind. Respect your instincts. Enforce your standards.

    Your peace is non-negotiable.

  • From Obedience to Overflow: A Testimony of Divine Turnaround

    This testimony is a powerful reminder that divine obedience and prophetic alignment can unlock supernatural transformation. When faith meets instruction—through prayer, sacrificial giving, and spiritual commitment—doors of favor and provision open beyond human expectation.

    In just a short time, financial limitations gave way to abundance. Major contracts were secured, stress-free breakthroughs were experienced, and the hand of God became evident in undeniable ways. This is more than coincidence—it is the result of walking in covenant with God and honoring the prophetic voice He has placed in this generation.

    God is still changing stories. Yours can be next.
    Stay connected. Obey divine instructions. Partner with grace—and watch what God will do.

  • *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

    DATE: FRIDAY 6TH JUNE 2025

    THEME: *WALKING WITH GOD* (PART TWO)

    MEMORIZE
    Amos 3:3
    Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

    READ
    Genesis 5:21-24
    And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
    And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
    And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
    And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *The closer a person is to God, the stronger he or she becomes.*

    MESSAGE
    *A walk with God is the proof of true spirituality*.

    It connotes intimacy with God.

    It is having a personal relationship with God Himself. And everyone who desires to enjoy the fullness of God must get personal with Him.

    *When we make our walk with God the top most priority in our lives, then we will enjoy divine correction, that puts us on the road of divine directions, with divine protection, divine provisions, divine promotion and and ultimately, divine perfection.*

    Walking with God intimately is one of the greatest secrets of success in life and destiny.

    *No man can be more successful than his degree of intimacy with God. The closer a person is to God, the stronger he or she becomes spiritually, mentally, physically, and the more prosperous he becomes as well.*

    However, it is also important to note that the only thing that fights our intimate walk with God is iniquity.
    *Anyone who makes a practice of sinning can never enjoy coming close to God.* And anyone who falls into sin, also falls into the condemnation that goes with falling into sin. He or she looses that holy boldness that goes with divine nearness. He or she becomes timid, fearful and depressed. Sin is dangerous beloved, run away from it and secure your intimacy with God by all means.

    Finally, *walking with God involves total trust in His divine person through His word.* Today's memory verse says: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

    Agreeing with God in this context bothers on seeing the same thing, believing Him for what He says.

    It is important at this point to say that: *one who believes in God, will behave like the God He or she believes in.*

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Make every effort to get closer to God.
    2. Disconnect yourself from everything that God hates.
    3. Draw closer to God by reading more of God's word and spending more time in prayers.

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, take away from me everything that offends you and purge me from every unrighteousness in Jesus name. Amen.

    REMEMBER
    *The closer a person is to God, the stronger he or she becomes.*

    AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID.

    DAILY READING: 1Samuel 5-6, Psalms 103-108, Revelation 11.

    HYMN
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,
    Nearer to Thee ;
    E'en though it be a cross
    That raiseth me,
    Still all my song shall be----
    Nearer, my God, to Thee !
    Nearer to Thee !

    2
    Though, like the wanderer,
    The sun gone down,
    Darkness be over me,
    My rest a stone,
    Yet in my dreams I'd be
    Nearer, my God, to Thee !
    Nearer to Thee !

    3
    There let the way appear
    Steps unto heaven ;
    All that Thou sendest me
    In mercy given :
    Angels to beckon me
    Nearer, my God, to Thee !
    Nearer to Thee !

    4
    Then with my waking thoughts
    Bright with Thy praise,
    Out of my stony griefs
    Bethel I'll raise :
    So by my woes to be
    Nearer, my God, to Thee !
    Nearer to Thee !

    5
    Or if on joyful wing
    Cleaving the sky,
    Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
    Upward I fly,
    Still all my song shall be----
    Nearer, my God, to Thee !
    Nearer to Thee !
