In a world where many relationships are weighed down by stress, routine or unresolved issues, joy can sometimes feel like a luxury. This is a concerning reality, as joy is the spark that makes everyday moments worth cherishing, and the strength that helps couples endure difficult times. Without it, partners may begin to feel like […]
We all bring baggage into relationships – stories, habits, beliefs. It’s like an invisible suitcase we carry everywhere. That’s why it’s so important to know yourself first, and to be aware of the emotional baggage the other person may be carrying too. People often say after a breakup, “Let’s start from scratch.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it? But […]
In love, nothing truly meaningful happens by accident. Intention is what gives direction, purpose and clarity to our actions. Without it, relationships can drift aimlessly, carried by emotions or circumstances rather than by conscious choices. This is one of the main reasons why many relationships fail today. Being intentional in love means actively choosing to […]
It might surprise you, but many people still don’t fully understand what regret is. Some believe that simply being baptised in water will please God and tick the box of “doing His will.” But here’s the truth — it doesn’t work like that. If baptism isn’t followed by genuine repentance, it holds no value. Sadly, […]

Money can be unpredictable. One moment everything could be ticking along nicely, and the next, an unexpected expense can throw your plans off track. Sound familiar? That is why August is the month to ‘Bulletproof your Finances’ and it all begins with one essential ingredient: faith. We are often told to save, invest, and plan […]
Honesty is more than just telling the truth; it’s about living and loving without masks. In a relationship, being honest means showing up as your true self, rather than presenting the version you think the other person wants to see. It also involves being willing to hear the truth – even when it is uncomfortable […]
Love that lasts doesn’t stay still; it grows. True, intelligent love is not about finding a “perfect” relationship that never changes – it’s about building one that evolves, matures and improves over time. This growth starts with each individual. For couples, it means continually learning how to be better partners. It involves recognising areas that […]
No relationship is free from mistakes; after all, no one is perfect. This is why forgiveness is such a vital aspect of intelligent love.

Forgiveness allows couples to […]
