The month of December and Christmas always signalled joy in my early years. It meant long school holidays, family re-union, new clothes, presents, and best of all party time!

The saying “He who finds equity must come with clean hands” and “Honesty is the best policy” should ideally be the bedrock of any relationship required for the long term. There shouldn’t be any form of deception or plan to deceive especially in marriage. Sometimes things happen to us that are beyond our control and we ask God “Why Me?” These events could have occurred in our lives as a direct or indirect result of ones decisions or foolishness.
