Men I’ve Loved Before: Demystifying “The One”
April 19, 2022
I was recently reminded of the concept of “The One” when I found an old, long-forgotten list I had titled “Things I Worry About When I Think of My Upcoming Nuptials”. Right there, at Number 6, I’d written: “I’ll never meet The One, ever. It’s over. This is it. Boo hoo hoo.”

Marrying Later, Marrying Smarter
April 19, 2022
I always wanted to get married at 22. To this day I’m not sure exactly why, but the idea of being a beautiful young bride – and getting childbearing out of the way early – greatly appealed to me. Now, of course, I’m grateful I didn’t marry at 22, but I also find myself wondering what kind of wife I would have made at that age.
Are You The Marrying Kind of Woman?
April 19, 2022
Today I awoke to an interesting chat discussion about two separate ladies; the first got jilted after an 8-year-long relationship and was left penniless and alone – after clinging on for 8 years (she is obviously bitter and has been unable to pick up the pieces and move on).

April 19, 2022
Music may be the food of love, but when it comes to breakups, there is no better diet to heal the heart or worsen its condition than huge servings of moving lyrics. However, between a breakup and the healing, people experience different phases and lyrics often mirror these.

Love Hurts! Take It or Leave It
April 19, 2022
So, it is like this; I woke up thinking through a couple of my experiences along my life’s journey, mostly at those moments I took, or rather, attempted to take a detour through the dark alleyways of love. There seemed to be a recurrent theme – love, like dark chocolate felt good, but more often than not, leaves a bitter, if not a sour taste in your mouth.
On Love and Money
April 19, 2022
“No romance without finance”. This phrase used to fly around during my University days – in Christian circles, no less. Of course it meant that love could not be expressed without money and, being the naive little romantic that I was, this was blasphemy.
Letter to My Friend, the Bride
April 19, 2022
Girlfriend, I’m so thrilled that you’re getting married, and I absolutely must share with you some things I knew before I got married, and a few others things I wish someone had told me before I got married.
Love…Or Something Like It
April 19, 2022
English is a handicapped language, and nowhere is this more obvious than when it comes to the word “love”. People value relationships with people for different reasons. Like sex, for example. Some may think “it’s just sex”, but it is an extremely powerful thing that binds people together at least for a while.
English, Please
April 19, 2022
By Joy Ehonwa. Hallo! Wie geht? Some of you speak German and understood exactly what I said, some had the vague idea that I was saying “hi”, sort of, and others were just blank. When I was studying for my degree in Linguistics, one of the things that struck me over and over was the … Continue reading English, Please
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
April 19, 2022
By Joy Ehonwa I’ve always thought about marriage a lot. Not about getting married or having a wedding, but about this thing called marriage. I wondered how it worked, and if it really was the way it had been presented to us. A few days ago I was at the salon and a really sour-faced … Continue reading What’s Love Got To Do With It?

With marriages breaking up these days and tales of infidelity all around us, I can’t help but wonder what hope there is for single ones. Does it make sense getting married? Or even falling in love?
