Death of a marriage or some call it Divorce....

Recently found out that Chris Rock is getting divorced from his wife of almost 20 years! That is a good run in worldly/Hollywood terms lol! Nevertheless, it sucks that people have to go down this painful road. I can't front, even I have visited this town too! I checked out Chris's new movie and had the feeling that he was done with his wife based off his chemistry with his co-star Rosario Dawson. I have often wondered why man and woman were not created with the innate desire to just stay with one person for life. Must be that free will thing coupled with integrity?
 I did a quick google of why some divorce to see if its a pattern? This is what Wardy found!

Getting in for the wrong reasons. Anything other than love is a problem from my perspective.

 Lack of individual identity. The 2 become 1 but you still have things that are important to just you

 Not having a shared vision of success. Gotta work together or soon be apart .....duhhhh

 The intimacy dissapears. - Gotta give that attention or somebody definitely will suckers

 Finances. - You can do bad alone. Don't jack my funds with you bad habits.....

 Different priorities and interests. - I want 2 learn about God but you want to hit the crack pipe.... not a good sign

 Inability to resolve conflicts. Every couple has disagreements, but when you need a referee to help out? Love covers a lot, but a cheat to win person makes one rethink his/her position.

Millions marry daily and many divorce daily, taking the marriage secrets with them. The way I see it,  the problem is either one or both parties are not doing things the way God says and relying on self logic. The solution is to learn to be your mates bff and do it well. Do what you did the get them in the first place and keep doing that every day.

How long term daters see marriage!

 

I am unsure if it’s the man or the woman, but society has got some twisted views on marriage.  No matter how you look at it, Marriage is an institution created by our heavenly father……. meaning a union between 1 man and 1 woman to live together as 1 (same last name and respecting all local requirements) able to enjoy intimate relations and/or having children added to their union if so desired.

However, a common situation I find is that a couple (if that’s what you want to call them) will date forever and then get married only to divorce quickly.  I liken this to an employee working at a fairly good company where they give 100% daily, being loyal -even when the competition is paying more money and a few extras. The employee is expecting to one day become partner or at the very least being Vice President.  How does one feel if that day takes years to come or even worse…….it never comes?  Heck sometimes the company will bring in someone from the outside to be boss/replacement.  I asked my cousin Carla her views on dating her dude Marlin for 6 years and no wedding ring. Below is what her words………

““He doesn’t want to make me a wife, but he wants me to have his baby. He wants me to give up my whole life without him honoring” me” with a wedding.  Men these days, I just don’t get them. They want to date for years and years without having to indefinitely commit to a woman with vows of love. Is the price of a ring that much? Is getting on 1 knee that difficult? Or is til death do us part too long? Why is it that men are OK with being committed to dating forever, but are not as comfortable with coming to marriage forever?

Most of the committed boyfriend/girlfriend relationships I see are more comfortable with being monogamous and intimate, living together, and even making a baby, before the man takes the first steps towards marriage. As a woman living in a patriarchal society, I still see that men get their needs fulfilled way before women ever get theirs. If you ask any young woman (who hasn’t yet been traumatized by the by heartbreaks) most likely her goal is to someday walk down the aisle. If you ask any man, I ‘m sure he would 1^st rather sow his royal oats and enjoy the forbidden fruit before he ever settles down with a woman. It seems to me that men are winning.  Men get what they want in a relationship before the woman gets what she DESERVES.

Many times a woman has to give up her body to pleasure her man and sacrifice her body to bear his children before a man is finally ready to get on that one knee!!! Why can’t men recognize the treasure they have in a women before she pretty much gives up her LIFE for him? If I am not mistaken, men these days are not reflecting the love they should reflect onto their women. Men are requiring a lot more work on our end, before they show their unconditional love and respect to us!......””

I wasn't surprised at Carla's response because as I said, its common for society to think this type of situation is not harmful to the union. In fact, studies show that couples have a greater propensity to divorce after an extended dating period because practice doesn't make you get wore at something: You actually get better!!! So if your man is use to running the streets and do things void of your presence don't think a piece of paper (marriage license) is going to suddenly allow you two to become the perfect couple. 

I sure am glad that employers don't make employees wait years before becoming a regular employee! Looks like the employer has more faith in the you than your lover has in you?

No relationship is perfect especially my own, but at some point it might behoove the couple to move 4ward or move on! Heck, a lot of men are more loyal to their favorite ball team than to the woman they lie down with. Everything in our lives is a reflection of a choices we have made. If you/me want a different results, simply make a different choices suckerz. But as life has taught me today, change is very hard and sometimes down right impossible for some people. In conclusion, I honestly feel that if the couple hasn't decided after 1 year of dating that they want to get married, then one of them is waiting on something or someone better to come along............

Inside Crying-Outside Dying-2 tha Public Never Lying but desparate to get a better Job.....

My guy Derrick, asked me the other day, have I ever had a job that I really enjoyed. After giving it some serious thought I came up with a one word answer..........NO! I say that with much pain because life has taught me that work is what I do and never who I am! I know 3 many people who get that ideal twisted. Unless a person is running his own business, then you are basically being pimped! 2014 has helped many a people to see that just because you are needed does not mean you are important. Now with that being said, I recently went through a lengthy interview process for a dream job in my field of study. I had to meet with said potential employers 4 times before a decesion was granted. It came down to the final 2 and yours truly is back on the good side of the working world with a slight pep in my step and smile on my face.
Let's take a look back at my previous position to allow you to feel my pain and disrespect. My job consisted of assisting patients in financial distress. I provided them with viable options to result in long term solutions. On paper it seemed like a cool gig, because I enjoy helping those in need. Here is where the dilemma begins: Everyone in this position (even supervisors)  has to wear these uniforms, much like public school kids. To add insult to injury, others doing similar work got to dress like the professionals that they presented to be. When I would walk in the patients room to introduce myself and explain my purpose, one of several things would take place. 1). The patient would look at me, in my polo T-shirt and khaki pants, and decide they don't want to talk to me or partake of my assistance 2). A physician or nurse, would come in the room and act as if I am not there speaking with patient about his balance.... and just start talking directly to the patient- while standing in front of me as I wasn't there!!!! 3). The transportation department would come in the room while I am in there doing my thing and just roll the patient off to another area with obvious disrespect. (If I was a Doctor-Policeman or Lawyer would it have been different?)
All these points were disrespectful and definitely rude but probably not on purpose. Here is the kicker, on Friday's my co-workers were able to wear professional clothing and the respect level was out of this world from Doctors, Nurses and patients like it should be always. You only get one chance to make a first impression and I was the only one who seemed to realize that fact. I realized that you are born once, but you can die a thousand times being stuck in a ground hog day situation. I guess clothes dictate how others view you. I can only imagine how homeless people feel?
It took everything in my bones to keep a smile on my face and a positive attitude in my heart each week. I knew that if I stayed the course I would eventually fall into job that is a good fit for me and my family. I sadly watched 15 of my co-workers quit, transfer or get promoted while keeping up the good fight. I had plenty of great ideals on how this position could have been improved on, but every time my insight, fell on deaf ears. I witnessed the management team change rules/decisions like the wind changes direction, with no input from the people doing the actual work (bad combination). Some days I wanted to call in sick (I never did missed a day) or just blow my work off, but I couldn't because my spouse worked at the same place in a leadership role! I dealt with things by enjoying my week-ends with my wife and kids, by being active in the community and regular in prayer. I think my biggest challenge came when the job decided that after working a 40 hour work week, they were gonna call a mandatory Saturday/s for 16 straight hours more!!!! Staff was told that if you don't come in on said Saturday, don't bother showing up for work on the following Monday. REALLY, I thought. Then they decided they wanted to have another mandatory Saturday the next week too! Recall, I de-stress on the week endz but not them days.
Enough of that lol! FFW to now. I love my new position!!! I am regularly asked for my opinion, I can dress like a professionally educated college man, I get to help others who appreciate my efforts and I am part of a team full of happy employees. I am aware that this position too may have its share of issues but at least it is something tolerable. I realize the experiences that my last opportunity afforded me- helped me to use coping skills that I didn't know had. It made me fight for this new position that I had to have and it reminded me that I should never give up or cease believing that something better is out there 4 me!
Some of the issues may have been trivial looking back, but when you R in the fire all you feel is the tickling flames of despair. Moving forward, I will continue trying to be a better person who will never forget where he has been and keep a keen eye on the person I pretend to be on the outside while crying-dying on the inside at times!
((Hey Derrick, I think my answer is slowly moving to a strong YES!!!!!))

What page are you on sucka?

Wardy has often said "Nothing changes unless something changes", now what that means to you may be quite different than what it means to me- lol! I can no longer count the couples who think that things just magically change overnight and can be easily repaired by watching one episode of the Steve Harvey show (hint: NOT GONNA HAPPEN CAPTAIN) Compare the Grand Canyon, I am almost positive it took thousands/millions of years to get to the point where it is now, but it happened right before our eyes-didn't it?

Same as with relationships over time. When couples 1st meet, conversation and communication are at a maximum or all-time high. Trust could get no better at this point because of the deep interest and desire you please and be pleased. Its almost ironic to rationalize that relationships actually start on a high note and end up in the a place no one ever thought existed sometimes. I admit that there are a plethora of people who avoid these pit falls by learning the 5 languages of love, having great communication and Trusting in our creator 100%.
Here is a Wardy fact I want you to remember: Men only talk about what really matters to them to someone who is "safe", meaning non-judgmental, interested, and not competing for talk time. Men have the task of being the family head and feel as though mistakes are not an option with so much family responsibility at stake! Therefore, he has to make good decisions the first time and be consistent with his logic. So when a man speaks to someone, he needs the unadulterated truth, responses or advice. Imagine how hard it is for a man to speak to his mate about an issues that are of importance to him but his woman decides to talk about everything else on her plate instead. Either the male will shut down or find someone to communicate with. After all, its a time and place 4 everything!  Before the couple realizes what has become of the relationship that lack communication (((BOOOM)))) its over! Isn't that sad how to people who tripp  into love quickly become mortal enemies’- sharing 1 home/family in common? I won't lie, I been down that road a time or 2. Getting back wasn't my best look, but I viewed my errors as learning lessons! As my good friend says "I won't be having THAT argument again moving 4ward".
Women  don't need to be told they are loved every 15 minutes likes many males tend to assume, rather they need a little reassurance from time to time. Letting her know how much you love her, admire her, how much you enjoy being around her and how attracted you are to her- will help eliminate insecurities and doubt. Heck, we all want to feel loved. The male can do this better when he sees his mate trying very hard. It’s hard to be mean to someone who got your back, ask a good woman!
Sometimes relationships are comparable to a big game of Chess. Who can do it better and who just wants to win? It can be very challenging having 2 steering wheels in one car and you can be sure an accident is just a matter of time away. They say a lot of accidents are caused by a loose nut behind the steering wheel (lol).
Wardy suggests, know your role and try 2 get better at it daily, communicate in a way the shows you love and want to be loved by your partner and finally follow scriptural admonition in order to be the couple you were in the Genesis of your relationship.

Love 2014

If my love were an ocean,
there would be no more land.
If my love were a desert,
you would see only sand.
If my love were a star-
late at night, only light.
And if my love could grow wings,
I’d be soaring in flight.

 Love lets you find those hidden places in another person, even the ones they didn’t know were there, even the ones they wouldn’t have thought to call beautiful themselves.

What some men think about women......

*Contrary to popular belief, women are more visual than men. They are conditioned to see what they want to see, without staring or being obvious. Men admire; women inspect. A woman may decide she is interested in a man before she has caught his eye or gotten his attention.  Men notice contours and curves while women notice form and structure.  So although both men and women check out the opposite sex, men tend to do so in a much less discreetly sort of way.(Admiration)
* Eye contact is a huge indication of confidence in a woman.  The way she carries herself and her overall posture can also tell a guy, “Here I am and I feel great!” or it can say,” Oh please don’t look at me… let me hide over here.”  If a woman walks in, head held high and a big smile on her face, men will automatically be more attracted to her.  Don’t look down and shy away from purposeful eye contact from a man across the room (Confidence)
*A smile can also say a lot about a woman.  Does it seem sweet and genuine? Does it seem awkward and forced? Also, some men are just more drawn to certain smiles and facial expressions.  If a woman is laughing hysterically and seems to be the jokester of the group, certain men are automatically drawn to her.  However, some bruthas go for the sweet and innocent smile that might be a little more sky and subdued.(say cheese)
* If you walk in with a posy of 20 women, most men will be wary to walk up to you and use his best line.  Everybody is afraid of rejection, men included.  So what’s the perfect crew size? Three. Your two friends can keep each other company when you slip away to get to know your mystery man. (dont roll in packs suckers).
* Men are intrigued and drawn to stylish and well put-together women.  These qualities signify that she is clean, responsible, and takes time to groom.  I can't speak for everyone, but weaves suck! Just learn to whip it yourself or get it split at the shop! (Look how you feel).
*All men are unique and require diffent things, but it has been said that there is a top for every pot.....

Excuses..........

 

Definition of Excuses:
 An attempt to lessen the blame attaching to (a fault or offense); seek to defend or justify.


*What ever you dilemma is (weight loss, credit restoration, true confessions), Just stop making excuses and start seeing results.....

Riding 4 da hommies (or how Wardy thinks it must be like)

Every real g knows not to stop at a light.
It’s the burn’em spot for cowards too scared to fight.
Riding heavy ain’t easy,
But it’s the life I chose.
I’m no Shakespeare
To sob over a gangsta’s woes.
I am what I am
No regrets,
No excuses.
Sometimes we have long time winners.....
but lately, all we got is losers to this game of death.
I want to get out, but where I'm gone go,
Momz 15 years older than me and she don't even no.
Just another black male caught up n da mixx
trying to make a dollar out 15 cents....
I guess at the end of the day, its has to be this way,
I ain't no LoveR or fighter.....
I beeeeee just a simple thug/survivor,  Riding 4 da hommies

Appreciation.....a never ending story of perfect misunderstandings

This is what she said and it got me thinking....

I hate getting into a confrontation with my significant other; it makes me feel hurt, alienated, confused, and downright disappointed.  I aim to please my significant other, it makes him feel good, but it makes me feel better!!!  Women by nature are very loving, we have BIG hearts, and we love to feel needed. A majority of women only lash out, because we feel that our significant others are not listening to how we feel.  Yes, I said it, "how we feel".  Pay attention because we do!  Stop calling us nostalgic because it’s insulting.

One of my favorite examples of a perfect night gone wrong:  Me wanting to make sure I take care of the little things he likes, I make sure he has everything at his fingertips.  But instead of seeing the little things I have done, he concentrates on the most minute imperfections, which leaves me confused and feeling unappreciated…..and here comes the arguments :(

  My response is going to be deadly in my head, but before lashing out with this tongue, I think what would defuse this situation???  But before I can complete my TP, he hits me with some more foolishness.  Home is the one place I want to feel safe and protected, not shamed for being a woman to my man. 

We battle with the feeling of inadequacy and the feelings of being insignificant in life already, so we can do without an argument from the one we love.  We already live life hidden in our tears and harbored  by our fears of disappointment: so an argument is not what I’m going to start, but that's just me. 

What I thought about her words but didn't verbalize it back to her.... 

Confrontations often times lead to disappointments and even pain, especially when couples attack each other rather than the problem. Women by nature are natural born nurturers, that in itself is ironic to men, because women find satisfaction and joy from "giving" their positive energy to a man who often times does not even deserve it! I have learned that the more you give a man, the more they/we will tend to expect..... and the less they/we will do in the relationship. Real talk, not saying this is right or wrong,  rather it is a reality.

Men are most comfortable with a woman who is assertive but not aggressive when it comes to his assistance. We want a soldier on our team to help and support us, but at the same time.....we want help with what we want help with. We appreciate that you got our slippers and drink with the perfect amount of ice cubes in the glass because you imagine that is what we want! But what if you simply sat next to me and stated that you wish to please me today. "what is it that can me happy"???? I can almost promise you that your results will fare much better-lol!!! Men are simple when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it and that's why we love sports. It has rules and consequences along the road to reaching the trophy and ring. We know if we step out of bounds, we incur a penalty and we can't participate for a while. Even though this punishment is painful for a moment, we somehow endure and come back stronger and more determined to prove our-selves.

Let me address the men folk right quick. Brothers, good communication requires participation on both sides. A man needs to work at remembering that complaining about problems does not meant blaming and that when his female complains she is generally just letting go of her frustrations by talking about them.. A female can work at letting him know that though she is complaining, she also appreciates him. I say this because men women don't think of giving appreciation because they assume a man knows how much she appreiares being heard. Wrong suckers: MEN DON'T KNOW!!!! When females are talking about problems, we need to be reassured that yall still love and appreciate us too! C'mon son!!! See the thing about men is we feel frustrated byproblems unless we are doing something to solve them. By being appreciated, the female can help dudes/us to realize that just by listening, we are actually helping the mood. That is what Wardy considers part of good communication, ya dig? All the female has to learn to do, is pause every now and then and say "I really appreciate you listening to me and if I am making it sound like I am saying its all your fault, that now what I mean. Its not your fault, it something I want us to solve together". (This doesn't work with every couple cuz some of yall are crazy-No REFUND).

Bonus:
Q:Sometimes women feel, "Why should i appreciate what he does when yall know dog gone good and well that yall do more?
A: Men give less when we don't feel appreciated. If you want us to give more, then give more appreciation. Men ar motivated by appreciation. If you are giving more it may  be hard to appreiate us. Gracefully gegin to give less so that you can appreciate us more!!! By making this change, not only are you supporting us in feeling loved, but you will also ge the support you need and deserve!

50 ways to ummmm lose your lover

Isn't love wonderful? Seeing couples walking hand in hand, laughing and talking about nothing. Heck on a good day "said couple" just might even wear matching fits and saying things like "I love you so much that I think ofyou in colors that don't exist"- lol!
The thing about all these loving couples, is that they all have one very common factor---Entropy! For some of my readers, this word may be challenging, so let me break the meaning down (lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder).
See, I started wondering how couples can be so happy one day and then seemingly from out of nowhere the couples are mortal enemies. Humm, I thought to myself, BUT WHY. This is what I came up with: Very slowly, entropy sneaks into a relationship in the form of ignored phone calls, lack of quality conversations, no longer listening to each/ not communicating in love (yes and no) with reduced affection and thoughts of enjoying time alone. That is a far cry from the long late night phone conversations about nothingness and the longing to see your beloved one after the long separation of a few hours. 
Who knows, maybe after working 40+ hours a week, dealing with traffic, home work, house work and life in general has a way of wearing people down. I don't consider any of these distractions good reasons for loosing your relationship. I just think couples don't realize what they have or had until the end is upon them. My dude from around the way has a loving girl at home that he spends very little time with now. He says that she tries to micro manage his life by checking his phone, constantly accusing him of cheating with any girl that is over 17 years old. Dude said his formerly loving relationship has turned into a hostage situation with no chance of being released. I also know Karen (cousin) who is with a man who let him self go physically. Dude is so out of shape that sweats while he is in the shower. Karen said he is such a turn off in this condition. She said she doesn't cheat on him but she is unsure what she will do if someone half way close to what she likes tempts her.....well lets just say I pray for her. 
The story of couples falling in and out of love is all too common today. Makes you wonder why people are just not made with a fail safe mechanism that automatically links us to one mate. A mate that U wake up to each day and fall in love, all over again! But naahh, that ain't cool and won't happen because we gotta have Circle fights (fights that keep occurring over the same thing with the same results) on the regular.
O.k., here is the point. marriage and relationships are hard work, and like anything else it requires maintenance. Think about it, if a man really wants to keep his woman happy it would behoove him to first learn to please God 1st! Next he would learn to love his mate as himself. He would spend time with her and make her his number activity. And to the woman, stop trying to be a man and learn to respect your man. Find out what he wants to do and support him in those efforts. Give him options and choices that benefit the family. Allow him some alone time to at least freaking miss you. Don't compete with your dude, try eating with your dude. Sure we get tired sometimes and want to be catered to, but somebody gotta be the bigger person. 
To my dude with the psycho chick: Man up and tell your woman that she is the only one for you and try over looking her issues for a while and love her to pieces. If she don't act right then, you can do what you gotta do with no regrets. Cousin Karen, join the gym with your man and start cooking healthy. Save his life and your relationship (besides you ain't gonna leave him anyway-lol!

Life ain't fair but what else is new?

Some want the $$$ and fame, while others just want to make it with out drawing to much unasked for attention. Eye must admit, I see a nice big house with the well manicured lawn and think to myself  "what a wonderful life".  But on the flip syde, I understand the benefits of keeping my eye simple and being happy with what I have. Point: Many of those nice homes that I see are often empty  (excluding the pets) because the owners have to work many hours to pay for those palaces! So is it really worth it? Some surprisingly say (((YES))).
I say Life ain't fair, because the American dream doesn't come with a blue print. It usually comes with a thick manuscript entitled: TRIAL AND ERRORS. How many times have we heard someone say, "if I only would have known then what I know now". Of course 20/20 is hindsight! Two people can work at the same job, drive the same type of car, and work right next to each other and have very different automobile car notes, interest rates and mortgage notes. Should I get better customer service if I wear a shirt and tie- Do better with neater penmanship get higher grades- and will have a college degree ensure my job future???? That is what society calls fair, but I see some very interesting reasons why it is very uncool.
Does it really come down to who ya know verses what you know in this land of milk and honey? Consider a man who works as the fry cook for 3 months at McDonalds and then one day out the blue that sucka is promoted to President of McDonalds......hummmm. I am just saying Life aint fair.
The real question is why is this fact my truth and what can be done about it. Here is to egg on your face!

When a child dies......

The death of a child a traumatic 4 the survivors, especially for the parents. I know of a mother whose 16 year old son was fatally burned in a tragic accident. She said, "God doesn't allow us to trade places with our dying children, neither does he allow us to die with them".
Yet, she was not w/o hope, as she explained:"God has told us the truth about death, and this keeps my husband and me from becoming bitter or losing our minds". She said that she knows God did not do this to her son and he has purposed to resurrect te dead to a paradise earth. In her mind's eye, she can see her son alive, health and happy ling among his friends and family".
Still, even those with confident hope in God's promise of a resurrection need comfort, which this mother gratefully received from many friends. She noted: Many of the scriptural thoughts and acts of  kindness shared with her and her husband came from the brochure "When Someone You Love Dies".
 I encourage everyone to read this brochure if give the opportunity 2 help better understand the grief of losing a child, spouse or anyone that is loved.

Wardy Home Werk Tipz 4 da Kids.......

1
Designate a space for homework and study to underscore the importance of these practices. Keep essential tools in one place, like books, pens and paper!  Establish a tech-free zone to avoid distractions. Turn off TVs, ban text messaging and limit the computer to research tasks.

2
Create a routine. Choose a time that works best for the child to do homework and stick to that time every day. "Work before play" can motivate kids to get their homework done, but if the child plays sports -gymnastics in my girls case or has after-school commitments, doing homework after dinner may be best.

3
Provide students with smart tools and study aids to help along the way. As students of all ages are facing increased pressure to perform, these products help students optimize time spent on homework and study and gain the control and confidence they need to meet their goals.

4
Map out assignments and plot homework on a schedule for simple reminders of daily, weekly or long-term assignments. Include other engagements like sports and music lessons to help kids have a clear picture of their schedule.

My kids kind of came of with this list on their own and I think it works good enough for straight A's from then to now, so I am good with it. You might like this simple list too! I also suggest spending time with your kids and talking about life in general. Its a great way to show you care and be in touch with your tax dependant!!!!
