The Science of Cheating: Understanding Infidelity and Its Consequences, concluding part.

In the end, if you chose to marry someone who exhibited signs of infidelity prior to your wedding, it’s something you’ll need to accept. You cannot change another person; marriage is not a means of rehabilitation or a way to impose beliefs.

On the other hand, if your spouse has shown no signs of infidelity or disrespect in your relationship, I encourage you to focus on your partnership and refrain from invading their privacy, such as snooping through their phone. Win on bended knees, not on shouting spree or snooping; that way, you'll lose your marriage and your peace.

It's important to recognize that, similar to therapy for those struggling with addiction, we should not fixate solely on the symptoms—such as cheating—without understanding their root causes. Cheating is often a manifestation of deeper issues that need to be addressed, rather than being met with constant accusations, nagging, or spying.

This situation calls for a thoughtful and strategic approach, rather than confrontation or physical force.
You can also come for a CBT solution.

A Tribute to Ibadan's Crown: Long Live the Olubadan!

A Tribute to Ibadan's Crown: Long Live the Olubadan! It is with a heart full of respect and reverence that I join the people of Ibadanland in paying tribute to our revered father, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashid Adewolu Ladoja. May his reign be long, peaceful, prosperous, and filled with wisdom. Kabiyesi, ki ade pe lori, ki bata pe lese, ki irukere di okini! The ascension of an Olubadan is more than just a coronation; it is a sacred, centuries-old rite—a celebration of history, tradition, and the unique, progressive system that governs our great city. Each Olubadan steps into a lineage that stretches back to the city's founders, a living bridge between the past and a promising future. On Talent, Favour, and The Cap That Fits I have been reflecting recently on the day of the coronation itself, and the choice of the musician for such a momentous occasion. Like many, one might have thought that a towering figure in Nigerian music, perhaps someone in th...

The Hornbill's Vow: A Lesson in Unwavering Marital Dedication

The Hornbill's Vow: A Lesson in Unwavering Marital Dedication ​Let me share a very subtle joke a man once shared with me some decades ago.  I found it a bit funny, I don't know if you will do so likewise.  The man said, on the day his son was getting married, he sat back and watched his son dancing into the hall with his wife. According to him, it was such a beauty to behold as they both danced excitedly. Suddenly, he said began to wonder if the guy knows what is waiting for him on the other side of that dance. He also said that he pitied his son because, he saw an innocent young man dancing INTO what he's willing to dance OUT of. As I was pondering on this topic, I remembered that joke and thought I should tell it here. Are you even aware that most of the world's best marriages are between certain animals? I learnt most of my marriage definitions from animals like, the Dove family, pigeon, and the hornbills as you'll soon find out. In the vibrant, echoing canopies...

"The Stone Is Not a Sculpture—But Every Stone Was Once a Sculpture"

"The Stone Is Not a Sculpture—But Every Stone Was Once a Sculpture" This has been my cry lately. I will give it voice in every way I can. As believers in God, what would we say are the extra advantages we have from having The Holy Spirit, the mind of Christ, and the wisdom of God? When you consider that we often go on very long fast, the question would be, how valuable are all these if all they give to us are things that other people can get without these advantages? We must begin to reposition the generation of our children for a better use of all the gifts we have from God. There’s a quiet arrogance in believing we “find” ourselves by accident. We don't stumble upon our purpose like loose change on a sidewalk. No — we carve it, chisel it, labor over it. Much like Michelangelo once said of his David, "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." So too must we carve away at ourselves. Because here's the truth: a stone is not a sculpture, ...
