Post Grad

It’s the end of the second semester, and summer is here. I just had my clearance signed last week too (It is a requirement in our school whenever a semester ends). During that period, I was able to speak to our VP Acad… and she encouraged me to pursue my post grad studies outside the university that I’m teaching. She told me the benefits of it… and the rest of the conversation echoed only in the four corners of her office, if you know what I mean.
 

Anyway, that is not the meat of my blog… the title is just a trope – if the word applies to what Im gonna say… Well, I am traversing in another stage of my marriage wherein sometimes your chest is just gonna sally out from being deluged with lotsa things.

It is hard to master marital relationship…or any relationships for that matter. If there’s only a school for that- post grad courses perhaps--- so that you become completely proficient or skilled or get a firm understanding in handling it. But sad to say that the university for it is the married life that you have now… all the practicing… and sometimes the trial-and-error phase… and the deciphering, and the laboratory are rolled in that reality of life. Sometimes, you missed things… and the error triggers the strident noise or hoists the SOS flag. Faults, quarrels, goofs are inevitable because we are not perfect… each one is full of herself/himself. And then… the relationship is threatened. Truth of the matter is you simply can’t afford to mess up big time, {i think}… because at some points, it makes your heart grows weary…. and the result… each one walks in separate ways.

The only way to make things work and let the marital journey at its cruisin’ speed is to know your God-given role/s as couples. This is a hard sell for everyone… but God is the only third party that you need to involve in your marriage because without Him, all marriages are bound to fail. Had not it been for Him, my marriage had conked out a long long time ago.

Here’s a good read I found for husbands and for wives.
