Loveskool Singles Hangout and Woman and Marriage Event Summary

It was a busy weekend for Keeping Marriage Alive Initiative as it hosted 2 major events for singles and women within the space of 3 days [April 29^th and May 1^st respectively].

The singles gathered one more time for a loveskool program but this time in style. The program tagged Loveskool Singles Hangout was hosted at the KMA Head Office [1 Waheed Smith, Olive Estate, Amuwo Odofin Lagos]. The program kicked off with a marched attendance of male and female guest.

Unwinding games such as The mixer, His and Her games helped the ladies and guys interact, relax, brainstorm, laugh and get comfortable in the environment. The His and Her game specifically treated the issues on common mistakes ladies/gentlemen make while making decisions about who they would prefer to marry – Beauty Vs Brains [For guys] and Geek Vs Fineboy [For ladies].

Cost of cheating in relationship was another vital topic deliberated upon in the program, educating singles that thinking it’s ok to cheat in relationship does not make it right. Case scenarios were sighted and the advantages & disadvantages were thoroughly discussed by the host speakers Ngee and Rich [Dr & Mrs Richard Okonkwo, Founders of Keeping Marriage Alive Initiative].

The program took a different turn when KMA staffs pulled a surprise celebration on Mr Philip Ekundayo as he marked his birthday that same day. He was celebrated and honored for an exemplary lifestyle of service.

LOVE: FIND IT, LEAVE IT OR KEEP IT a short drama from Alive Troupe in collaboration with 3LF drama group, the theme of the program became the next matter of discussion

“Singles prepare for everything in life but marriage” – Ngee and Rich advised the singles to start preparing now; to become the wives and husbands they would like to be when they get into marriage.

The program was one of a kind, leaving a lasting mark on the heart and minds of the attendees. The next loveskool program was scheduled for August 12^th, 2017.

Another program took place on May 1^st but this time for women [Woman And Marriage]. It was a double combo event held at KMA office Amuwo- Odofin.

Ngee mentioned the offices of a woman;

#Woman
#Mother
#Wife

1 Finding your purpose:

Our purpose is usually found in our past, what we have been through and conquered.

Your Past – your mantle.

2) The children:

If you want extraordinary children you must put that little extra-

Example-

-Serana & Venus Williams the tennis players began to play tennis from age 4 and their parents had to move to a new state just for them to actualize purpose.

-We as parents especially mothers should befriend our children and build a place of love, not a place of fear.

3) The Marriage:

The common denominator for success in marriage is;

– Agreement

– Stretching is important (don’t settle for comfortable in your marriage).

-Verifying is very important in marriage (don’t forget we are from different backgrounds, different temperaments).

We might be going through the same situation as couples but our perspective/understanding/outcome is different.

– Pray! Pray! Pray!

Ngee further said that in order for you to live an extraordinary life

– Listen, listen, listen

– Learn

– Lead by helping others
