The myth that educated women, over 40, find it impossible to find a mate to marry prevails — but it has long been debunked. What are the actual impacts of higher education on a women’s ‘marriageability?’ Having a committed partner and good family relationships are important to most people. Countless novels, fairy tales and movies have told romantic stories about love that endears us to the idea of romantic love. Sociologists, however, are less romantic.

My Dear Daughter, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” -Galatians 6:7 Too often, we subconsciously or consciously have expectations and tend to focus on the daily blessings we believe we should receive, while we fail to ask ourselves if and why we deserve such rewards: what have we done to make us believe, beyond any doubt, that we are worthy of the best? My dear, it is vital to remember that for there to be a harvest, the farmer has to plough, dig, sow the seeds, water, weed, and…

This is best to avoid discord and acrimony in a family or among friends. When a man moves on in a relationship he can’t claim to move on if he just switched his feelings from one sister to another or from one friend to another. Doing so is cruel and leads to the person being abandoned to ask several questions like, “what does her sister or friend have that she lacks? This can lead to insecurity…

His clothing was bright as snow, and the hair on his head as white as wool; his throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire.

As the visions during the night continued, I saw: One like a Son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; When…
