Song of Solomon 6:3
Disclaimer: This piece is written entirely generally and is not meant to be read in a fashion that is discriminatory to any specific social/cultural group. I realize I will probably get comments from people taking offense because they feel personally affronted, but it is simply a general observation of a broad social issue.
In particular I do not wish to offend people who engage in a promiscuous lifestyle because it makes them happy (the freedom of being single gives them pleasure). This is just supposed to be a message to those of us who struggle with the idea of faithfulness because of hurt and fear, of which I am sure there are many of us.

SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE And Develop A Lifelong Love
The Bible says: Choose faithfulness; divorce is not an option. "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage." Hebrews 13:4 "But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you."(Ruth 1:16-17) Lifelong commitment reflects and grows out of a realization that God created marriage and gave it to men and women as a priceless gift. Malachi 2:15 says, "God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage...so guard the spirit of marriage within you." "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" (Matthew 19:6). Remember, the retreat is easy when you have the option. As the Bible says, "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." (James 2:17). It's the same way in personal relationships. You demonstrate how important your marriage is to you by proactively investing time and money to make it better. During difficult seasons you fight for your marriage. In season and out of season, you show yourself willing to do whatever it takes to keep your relationship strongComplete
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete
Lost In The Mind of Me
Laid upon the pages of this book is a story. This is an autobiography. I struggled with writing this and, as you will soon understand, though I knew how to write it, writing it and thinking about it was difficult. I have not labeled the chapters in hopes that you will read all the way through. You may understand me a little more if you do so, but, on the same note, you may end up hating me. I do not know what your reaction will be, but I will allow your opinion of me. I give you full permission to judge me, only when you read everything. This is on my struggles with mental illness, traumatic events, my opinions, my thoughts, my feelings; this is a tour of my mind. Be warned, it's dark and haunted. But I felt it important for me to write this, so maybe I can overcome it. Thank you for picking this text to enlighten you. I am not the smartest, nor am I the wisest, but I will do my best to paint a delicate image in your mind by how I string together my semblant words.Complete
The Alchemy of Love
The story of Love, or what has been mistaken for it, in its multifaceted and multi-dimensional radiance. Discovering love can be hard, being in love can be harder but keeping and staying in love is surely the hardest. ABOUT THE SERIES I once wrote my first book "The Alchemy of Love" as a single story with three main characters but a few people have complained of its several intricacies, complexities, and mixups so I have decided to rewrite it as a series while my final work will still come out as the compilation of the three series in a new format of the original story. This story took me several years to complete and I have tried to rewrite it in a way that will appeal to most readers. I have had to remove the mention of some names, times, and dates to reduce the complexities in it and I used a little bit of pidgin English and Yoruba Language to express myself where it is needed. I advise that you kindly take your time to go through the story with me as I have taken my time to get each main character out of the juicy story in a format you will appreciate and read without stress. I sincerely apologize for the errors detected in the first edition, it has helped the book get better. Thank you for your continuous love, please continue to read and recommend my stories.Complete
