The book"Strong in the Storm" is an outcome of many years of counselling sessions. The book delves into the intricate phenomenon of extramarital affairs.
1. A young girl who married six months ago is seeking a divorce because her husband wants her to act as a traditional Indian wife while she wants an equal partnership.
2. Modern couples often want independence but also want their partner's full attention, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and complications.
3. Many divorces seem to stem from resolvable differences rather than serious issues, and tolerance levels are low.
This document discusses some of the challenges of being single and living together before marriage. It notes that loneliness is an undesired experience that can be avoided by maintaining relationships with family and friends. While living together occurred historically, it was discouraged because it could cause personal and social problems. Living together does not ensure compatibility or increase marital success, and often leads to unresolved conflicts after marriage. It is generally not good preparation for a stable marriage long-term.
This document discusses principles for Christians who are single and waiting for marriage. It encourages singles to wait patiently for God to send their mate rather than pursuing relationships for selfish reasons. It warns against Satan's tricks that make singleness seem undesirable and outlines productive activities for singles like growing as believers, developing skills to be godly spouses, and observing other marriages. The document also contrasts unhealthy dating habits with biblical courtship and provides questions to guide finding a marriage-minded Christian partner.
The document argues against living in relationships for several reasons. It claims that live-in relationships destroy cultural and ethical values, are often misused just for enjoyment rather than commitment, and usually end in breakups. Additionally, live-in relationships typically result in unhappiness for women who face social stigma, and most such couples do not eventually get married. The document advocates for retaining cultural norms around marriage and not allowing live-in relationships to become a new cultural practice.
BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. THINK OF THE EFFECTS TO YOUR FAMILY OF ANY DECISIONS THAT YOU ARE MAKING. HAVE THE BIGGER PICTURE OF YOUR FAMILY AND AVOID SHORT TERM GRATIFICATIONS.
MEN MUST TAKE UP THEIR RIGHTFUL ROLES IN THEIR FAMILIES. IT IS A SHAME TO RUN AWAY FROM YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN. BE THERE FOR YOUR FAMILY.
EMOTIONAL HURT IS NOT EASY TO OVERCOME. IT TAKES TIME TO OVERCOME IT.
The document discusses the common causes of discord in marriages, including poor understanding between partners, different viewpoints, behavioral differences, and issues around money, freedom, child-rearing, and traditions. It also describes the typical stages of marital conflict: having it your way, having it my way, having it our way, and having it anyway you want. The key message is that marriages don't have to end in conflict if couples learn effective communication and conflict resolution skills to work through problems rather than avoid or force issues.
The document discusses changing social norms around relationships and marriage. It notes that gay marriage is still controversial but becoming more accepted in some states. While some generations and families disagree with gay marriage or cohabitation before marriage, societal views are shifting and individuals can decide their own stance on these issues. The norms around relationships are changing as society changes.

Illegitimacy can negatively impact both children and society. Children born to unmarried mothers have greater health risks and are more likely to experience poverty, lower educational attainment, and engage in criminal behavior. This leads to increased social and medical costs and reduces the overall performance of the nation's economy. Children from broken homes or incompatible homes may experience feelings of rejection, hatred, or depression, and are less likely to have a positive view of marriage or relationships. Illegitimacy most severely impacts society by affecting parents, children, extended families, and communities through higher rates of poverty and crime.

Family Planning (1926)
Margaret Sanger was a controversial figure in her day. She introduced the term birth
control to American couples, she encouraged people to explore the pleasures of passionate and
sexual love, and she wrote frankly about the topic. She advocated the use of contraceptives for
working class people, to control family growth at an economically manageable level, and also to
the middle class, to postpone the arrival of children so the couple could build their relationship
on the pleasure of intimate knowledge of each other. Source: Margaret Sanger, Happiness in Marriage

PREMATURE PARENTHOOD AND WHY TO AVOID IT
Coming together with widely differing likes and dislikes, varying inheritances and often
with widely divergent training and ideals, the two young people who many will not be long in
discovering mat they may have much less in common man they had ever dreamed possible.
When Society has tossed them a marriage certificate and the Church has concluded the
ceremony which has legally united them, they are then forced back upon their own resources.
Society, so to speak, has washed its hands of the young couple, or cast this man and this woman
into the deep waters of matrimony, where they are left to sink or swim as best they may.
The certificate of marriage solves nothing. Rather it accentuates the greater and more
complex problems of life. To find a solution to this great problem of living together and growing
together requires all me combined intelligence and the foresight both man and woman can
command. Drifting into this relation will offer no solution, for very often those who drift into
marriage, drift out of it in the same aimless fashion.
Others, who have not realized that the marriage of a man and woman is not merely a legal
sanction for parenthood, but that it is an important relation in itself—the most important one in
human life—often find themselves defeated and forced into an accidental and premature
parenthood for which they are not financially or spiritually prepared.
Two years at least are necessary to cement the bonds of love and to establish the marriage
relation. Parenthood should therefore be postponed by every young married couple until at least
the third year of marriage.
Why is this advisable?
When the young wife is forced into maternity too soon, both are cheated out of marital
adjustment and harmony that require time to mature and develop. The plunge into parenthood
prematurely with all its problems and disturbances, is like the blighting of a bud before it has
been given time to blossom.
Even in the fully matured healthy wife pregnancy has a disturbing physiological and
nervous reaction. Temporarily the whole character and temperament of the woman undergoes
profound changes. Usually nausea, headaches, irritability, loss of appetite, ensue. At the
beginning of this period there develop temporary eccent ...

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.

Strong in the storm
1.
2. Introduction
Marriage is one of the oldest institutions in the world. It is an institution bedeviled with a lot of
challenges. It is ironical that you are given a marriage certificate without having graduated. You
don’t even graduate in the college of marriage. There are no leaves, half terms or holidays.
Marriage is a relationship and all relationships have disagreements. How successful relationships
are has a lot to do with how those disagreements are handled. Most of the problems encountered
in marriage is due to the fantasy we have about marriage life.
From the moment Romeo sets his eyes on Juliet to the fairy-tale climax when Cinderella captures
her prince, young people are taught that falling in love is the one and only essential requirement
for marriage. If you wish to make your marriage work, then the love between you can’t simply be
based on feelings. That’s because feelings change like moods. If romance were the sole factor
determining the duration of a union, most marriages would end in less than a year. Love must be
both a feeling and a decision.
Most marital relationships are weakened by the issues of sex, money, identity and extended family
members. In today’s world time is becoming elusive. Remember a time a husband and wife devote
to one another determines the quality of their relationship. The stresses of life whether they are
financial, parental, family related or work related can negatively impact on marriage and lead to
unnecessary arguments. Spouses who don’t prioritize their time together get caught in the trap of
drifting away from one another due to the pressures of life. As time goes on and children get older
and jobs become demanding you may not realize that your needs are changing and you dread
change. With time you will find that by investing in your marriage and spending time with one
another, you will limit the number of disagreements you have. Your sexual life will improve and
you are less likely to be involved in extramarital affairs.
The quality of your marriage is the single most important factor in raising healthy, well-adjusted
children. Husbands and wives who love and respect each other raise children who have healthy
values, self-esteem and good relationship skills. Wives should not neglect their husbands.
Remember your husband was there before your children were born and he’ll be there long after
your children have moved on in life. If you show contempt toward your husband, your daughter
will treat her husband that way and your son will expect his wife to have contempt for him. Your
husband needs to occupy the number one spot in your heart. You cannot place your children or
extended family ahead of him in your heart. If you don’t put him first, not only will that injure
him, but it will destroy your relationship and eventually make him run away and this will harm the
lives of your children. Oftentimes men feel like they only get their wife’s attention after everyone
else the kids, the pets and the women have had their needs met. He gets what’s left over after
everyone else is taken care off.
It is also important to note that happily married spouses are satisfied with their sexual relationships.
A spouse who makes you feel important, who is kind, gentle, exciting and good with children and
who is sexually satisfying and prone to sexual experimentation most powerfully influences your
marital satisfaction. You can add zest to your love life by enhancing appeal as a spouse by having
more intimate conversations and by showing more consideration and non sexual affection. Then
add some novelty and creativity to your lovemaking. Sex is so critical in marriage and any
relationship at marriage level devoid of it is at risk. Sex can heal illnesses and alleviate depression.
3. From a man’s perspective, there are not many things more important than sex. Sex not only fulfils
a physical need in men and women but it also fulfils a psychological need. In reference to men sex
heals a man the same way food, sleep and medicine can heal an injured sick body. Men are
intensely physical and so the physical act of sex plays a big role in their lives. Women enjoy sex
nearly as much as men do-they just don’t obsess it quite as much. It is of interest to note that if a
man’s wife is not interested in him physically for whatever reason, of which probably it isn’t
necessarily her fault, and some young girls come along who shows an interest in him as a man,
many men are easily swayed into having these needs fulfilled. Some of it may be due to ego, but
much of that need involves the fact that a man cannot feel truly loved if he is not having his physical
needs met. When both men and women are satisfied sexually they will all be having satisfied
marriage lives.
Sex is such a great power in the world. But it is women who have tremendous sexual power. What
does this power look like? What are the dynamics of sex? Why do spouses stray? Is it a matter of
life and death? What are the complex reasons behind extramarital sex? Is sex so critical that
without proper handling families will degenerate to the primordial times where “sexual punalua”
(“sexual communism”) was the practice? Take an exciting walk through “strong in the storm” to
find answers to this life’s maze. When you unearth the mystery of this labyrinth, then you will be
in a position to advice colleagues, friends and those in the byways of orchestra of life how to
paddle this tricky canoe. In a nutshell, a husband and wife should sail the seas of life in the same
boat, rowing together, trimming the sails together and making sure the whole operation runs
smoothly together, but ironically many spouses are actually in two different boats. Yet the two
won’t truly become one until they do get into the same boat.
