“True Love is not jealous, not hot-tempered, not short-tempered, not Provoked by the actions of others.”

“True love keeps no record of wrongs, its forgiving , reconciling, forgetting the past hurts, and living to make each other happy by putting others' needs first before their own needs.”
―

“Friendship is a two-way street, where both hearts beat in harmony, sharing laughter and tears in equal measure. When one side bears the weight of affection, the foundation cracks, and the bond begins to fade. Mutuality is the lifeblood of true friendship, where give and take dance in balance, nourishing a connection that stands the test of time.”

“Some men claim they can't predict the future of a relationship, but in reality, they're just unwilling to commit to the present. Their uncertainty is a mask for their own lack of loyalty, truth, and dedication. Be cautious of those who drained your energy and waste your time, for they are often the ones who crave open relationships and are spiritually adrift, searching for meaning in all the wrong places.”

“A man who lusts after other women, abandoning his commitment to his wife and family, invites demonic influence and ungodly desires into his heart. Such a man shall face the judgment of God, for his eyes and heart are far from the divine. Let this be a warning to those who chase after momentary pleasures shall face eternal consequences, and those who break the hearts of others shall face the wrath of the Almighty.”

“Uncover the truth before you uncover your heart.”
―

“Before saying 'I do', make sure you know who you're saying it to. Never marry a man without uncovering his background, for he could be hiding a criminal past, struggling with mental or health issues, or even concealing his true identity. Remember, 'wisdom is better than strength' (Proverbs 24:5), so seek wisdom and knowledge before entrusting your life to another."
Quote: "Uncover the truth before you uncover your heart."

- 1 Timothy 5:24-25 - "The sins of some people are obvious, leading them to judgment, while the sins of others will follow them to judgment. Similarly, good works are also obvious, and those that are not cannot remain hidden.”

“Surrounded by faces, yet feeling alone; loved for my wealth, but longing for a love that calls me home. True connections elude me, as superficial ties ensnare, leaving me to wonder, 'Will anyone love me for me, beyond the wealth I share?”

“Satan creates misunderstanding, brings fights and arguments within marriage, and destroys the Holy Marriage which God built.”
―
―
“Jesus taught that loving God and loving others are the greatest commandments, emphasizing the importance of relationships over self-centeredness. The Bible warns against selfishness and narcissism, calling us to humility, kindness, and compassion towards others. By seeking the good of others and giving thanks in all circumstances, we reflect God's love and provision in our lives. When we prioritize serving others and expressing gratitude, we overcome the lie of narcissism and find true fulfillment in God. He has provided for our needs and forgiven us through Jesus Christ, giving us much to thank Him for. In humility and gentleness, we can bless others and praise God, finding satisfaction in His steadfast love.”

“Revengeful Christians, seeking tit for tat, are wolves in sheep's clothing – their actions betray the very faith they claim.”
―
―
“A husband who boasts of being a hardworker and family man to outsiders, but neglects and ignores the needs and pleas of his own family members at home, is like a whitewashed tomb - appearing polished and put together on the outside, but rotting with hypocrisy and ruthlessness on the inside. His reward from his office cannot compensate for the damage caused by his deafening silence and callous indifference towards those who depend on him most.”
―
―
“When evil people wrong the good, God's vengeance awaits them. Those who falsely accuse and tarnish the character of the innocent will reap the consequences of their actions. The trap they lay for others will ensnare them, and their deceit will ultimately lead to their downfall. The wicked may prosper for a time, but justice will prevail. God's judgment will hold them accountable for their evil deeds. As they sow seeds of malice, they will harvest the fruits of their own destruction.”

“A soul consumed by darkness, a heart hardened by cruelty, a life lost to the whispers of the devil. He who once called himself a father, a husband, a son, now finds himself alone in the abyss of hell, forever tormented by the memories of those he once loved and betrayed. His fate a cautionary tale of the dangers of trading one's soul for vanishing power and temporary gain.”

―
“A husband's role is not just a paycheck, but a presence that nurtures hearts and homes.”
―
―
“The path of the abusive man is paved with broken hearts and shattered dreams.”
―
―
“A man who marries a woman for her wealth, status, or beauty, will soon discover that he has sold his soul for a momentary dream. He will lose the very things that truly matter in marriage - peace, joy, trust, and love. His heart will become a desert, devoid of the sweetness and nourishment that only a genuine connection can provide. He will be left with a hollow shell of a relationship, a prison of his own making, where love and happiness are mere distant memories.”

“To attack a godly woman consecrated by the Most High is to challenge God Himself; for in harming her, you interrupt the divine plan, invite self-inflicted punishment, and activate God's judgment upon yourself.”
―
―
“A godly man who treats his wife like an angel and a queen is a rare gem, a treasure to behold. He cherishes her with kindness, honors her with respect, and loves her with a passion that only grows stronger with each passing day. He recognizes her worth, celebrates her strengths, and supports her dreams. He is her rock, her safe haven, and her forever home. Together, they build a love that is a beautiful reflection of God's love for us - unconditional, unwavering, and eternal.”
