Hello Family!!

This is episode 12 of Tots Eclectic Season 2 in which we focused on the matters of the heart.

Today in this episode we are answering the question "Are You Ready?

Are you ready for a relationship, for courtship, for marriage?

going back to the origin story we discover that God did 3 things for Adam ( for a man), he gave him WORK ( To tend the Garden), WISDOM ( To be able to name all of the animals) & the a WIFE ( Eve)

I call them the 3 Ws - WORK, WISDOM & WIFE...

We touched on other things to answer the readiness question, take a listen & be blessed by this episode.

We are looking to be a blessing as much as we can be using some of the principles we've deployed successfully over the 27 years of our friendship & 20 years of marriage as Man & Wife.

Dr. Chapman spoke about the 4 seasons of Marriage ( just like the 4 seasons of Summer, Autumn, Spring & Fall).

In this episode, I broke it down into 2 major seasons ( Raining Season & Dry Season) considering that I live in the Tropic & our seasons are 2 not 4.

In this episode we continue our discussion about the 5 love languages & what the expectation are for each of them.

I reiterated on some of the points made in the last episode & also talked about the marriage as a BOX, an empty box that needs to be filled by both parties with what both parties wants to see & enjoy in the marriage.

Maintaining a solid marriage is great work that pays off in the long run.

In the next episode, we will be looking at the Season of Marriage.

Hello SHMILY Family!!

Hello SHMILY Family!!

This is Tots Eclectic Season 2 Ep7 & in this episode, I answered the question about Team Formation & how to select a Partner. Selecting a partner to go on Life's journey is a very important & fundamental activity & the best way to go about it is to go back to the ORIGIN to see how got a Help-meet for Adam.

So we took a journey back to the beginning in the Book of Genesis to look into the details of the process God took to create & select Eve to Adam.

Take a listen & share with your network if this is of value to you.

Next Episode we take a dive into the 5 Love Languages.

Hello SHMILY Family!!

This is Ep6 of Tots Eclectic Season 2. In this episode I talked about Team Dynamics in a Couple or Marriage Relationship.

Just like in any life endeavor you cant achieve greatness alone, the scripture says "It's not good for Man ( Mankind) to be alone.

So in this relationship, there are essentially 2 people, Then Man & the Woman ( then later on the kids come into play).

For any Team or group, there are certain team dynamics that occur in 4 stages:

1. The Forming Stage

2. The Storming Stage

3. The Norming Stage

4. The Performing Stage

Conduct an assessment of your relationship to figure out where you belong & take the right steps to see through all of the stages.

Do send in your questions using the comments section & we will be more than happy to help

Have a lovely Valentine's day celebration on Friday!!

Cheers

Happy New Year SHMILY Family!!

In this 5th Episode ( the 1st for the year 2025), we continue our discussion on the MISSION & VISSION topic as we define what a Vision is & what a shared Vision is for a couple.

I also mentioned the need of constant communication as the Life-Blood of every relationship.

Take a listen to this episode, share with your network if it's valuable & ask questions where you require further clarification.

This is Episode 4 of Tots Eclectic Season 2 & our focus is on The Mission & Vision.

It is also Christmas Day & It's amazing to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with family & friends as we create memories that will last for a full year.

My thoughts were about getting clarity about the essence of our relationships, why are we together? What is our mission & vision as a family, as a couple.

The book & Movie by Steve Harvey called "Act like a Lady, think Like a Man" comes handy in this podcast.

You need to align with your partner about the Mission & Vision of the relationship, ask the question "Where are we going with this relationship?"

Then form objectives, strategies, tactic that you both will work on to achieve these goals & targets.

We will be taking a short break & resume in February 2025.

In this episode, we go back to the Origin.

There is the Law of First Mention that states that if you want to know & understand anything, so check the 1st time it was used or mentioned.

So we go back to the Original creation story & how God was the originator of Marriage.

God made provisions for everything Mankind will need before creating them.

He also gave Man ( Adam) a Job first before creating the Woman ( Eve)

He made Adam to name all of the animals (with a view of getting a Partner for Adam), but none fit until God made Adam to sleep & he created Eve out of Adam.

Do take a listen to this episode & provide us with feedback.
