In marriage, cheating is forbidden, sinful, rotten, evil and unacceptable. But my generation sees cheating as a common thing, a way of life. So they do it without thinking about the heinous consequences is carries. It’s like we are sugar coating cheating, it is not called cheating in marriage, it is called; adultery. Adultery is gotten from the word adulteration, which mean, loosing value from the originality. Adultery is bad before God and man. Be it from the man or the woman. It is ungodly, demeaning.

`How I got my secretive husband opened up A lot of women today are complaining that their husband is not telling them everything they needed to know. Even, undermining the fact they have lived together for a couple of years and have born for them wonderful children. My question is, why do a good number of men keep secrets from their wives? Was family meant to function that way? Coming to the first question, why do men keep secrets from their wives? The number one answer is, insecurity.

Most men, keep their properties and investments away from the knowledge of their wives, ...

I and my husband dated for about three years before the marriage. I think I knew him in and out, he practically told me everything. He never keeps secret from me. And this was one of the major reasons why I loved Ebuka. Even after we got married, he never desists from telling me things about his private life. Or, is there supposed to be anything privacy in marriage? Well, to Ebuka such thing like privacy does not exist in marriage.

That should be your first stage of sex education. And you have to warn them, not to play with their sex organ or touch anyone’s own, you have to make them understand that it is a taboo for them to touch someone’s private’s part or for anyone else to touch their own without their permission. And, if you have a daughter or daughters, you needed to be more careful handling them, you need to do a lot of work looking out for them. It is unacceptable for the opposite sex adult to call your daughter my wife, or to carry her in his laps. Some men are sick in the head. They don’t des...
