The solution lies within you. What you need to do is to continue praying. Talk to him calmly. Be nice, surprise him one night, dinner, candles... you know the works. Talk to him during that time. Even if he annoys you, keep your calm. Trust me, he will be embarrassed and you being nice, will make him soft. It will work out. Keep on praying (ZIMBABWE) Reply to Renee: Don’t despair God wants you to have a happy marriage. The solution lies within you. What you need to do is to continue praying. Talk to him calmly.

I am doing a degree in social sciences and I would really love to hear about the challenges that people are facing in marrige or even during courting. I would also like to hear about how they relate to each other and even with members of the extended family, how their family history has affected their characters and how it has definend them because it determines how you will relate to your partner. It's really broad but I would appreciate your contributions. Thank you. (ZIMBABWE) Marriage is something big.

As such, I have been avoiding getting a baby. I am a first born of 3 children. We were abandoned by our mother who sunk into drugs and I had to work hard and take care of my other two siblings. My idea of a spouse was someone who would help me with the responsibilities apart from us loving and respecting each other - which I communicated to my husband before we got married and he promised to help. During these three years of marriage, I have helped him provide, taken care of the house chores, gone to work so we can at least live comfortable and also continued assisting my siblings who one is in rehab. I feel overburdened by this and having to repeat or remind my husband of simple things like putting his dirty cloths in the laundry basket among other things. He prefers watching TV rather than helping me. Due to all these responsibilities, I have been avoiding getting pregnant because this will add to the many responsibilities I already have. Is marriage about responsibilities only? What is the role of a man? Do all women go through this? Is it wrong to expect help in house hold chores now that I am helping him provide? I am asking you all these questions because all I got from the women in my church group is condemnation. I just want to enjoy my marriage.
