I once heard a preacher talking about some research they did, can't remember who it was exactly, he said they found out that 85% of marriages end up in divorce because of financial issues, I mean 85%, that means, it's not adultery, it's not in-laws, not mistresses or second wives, it's not even falling out of love that represents the biggest reason for divorce. With that statistic in mind, I would say it's very important to prepare for marriage financially.

We all dream about the 2-week long honeymoons we'll have when we get married - making multiple stops along the way; watching sunsets on a beach; the joy of being far away from the ones who can interrupt our communion with our spouses… Then we wake up and realize that work and all the other hassles in life may only afford us 3 days, at the most. Who says you can't enjoy 3 amazing honeymoon days?

Beach chic doesn't necessarily mean sea shells in your hair and a sarong around your waist. Your can wear just about anything to the beach. Remember comfort is key so there are a few exceptions, heels are not practical, leave them at home, long dress trains are no no as they will quickly get dirty being dragged in the sand, and the whole princess ballroom gown thing? Keep it in ballrooms. Bearing this in mind, we've scoured the world (okay the web) for our top three beach looks.

Honeymoons are the highlights of any wedding, and if you're 'blessed' with a green Nigerian passport, then lining up at a foreign embassy for a visa is probably not the way you want to start yours. Well you're in luck as there are actually quite a few interesting countries that do not require visas (or have very easy visa requirements) from Nigerian nationals

Five years ago, my heart was broken and I thought I could not go on. I was at my lowest point. It was so hard for me to be around people, It was so depressing and the fact that I couldn’t talk to anyone complicated things for me.

When you and your partner have an argument or one of you upsets the other, the simplest of remedies is often avoided. Why is that men would rather give in (silently) or sulk (again, silently) and hope that Time would 'heal' the situation? Why do women insist that they are right? (Well, that's because they usually are) Why does 'he' have to sleep on the couch if 'she' is really upset with him? - Since 'hell hath no fury greater than a woman scorned' men tend to comply. And why does 'Sorry' seem to be the hardest word to say to someone you love?
