5 Habits Of People Who’ll Never Get Married

Do you believe that, at first glance, harmless habits can make people lonely and prevent them from getting married? I can say with confidence that they can. When I worked as a psychologist, I dealt with various problems of my patients. In most cases, the reasons of their life troubles were their habits and fears.

Human habits can exert a big negative influence on the quality of life and make us stray from the right path. It usually happens when people refuse to be awake of their faults and continue sticking to their guns. Unfortunately, they tend to blame others for their unhappiness. This approach will never help you break the vicious circle and overcome your laziness, because bad habits gradually become a significant part of your lifestyle.

Marriage is an extremely important decision in the life of every person. Even highly successful and healthy people often cannot find a real love and get married, because it’s hard to make a right decision in this complicated and artificial world. If absolutely no one wants to get married with you, then the root of the problem lies in the depth of your subconsiousness. It’s high time to plunge into your subconscious mind to find the reasons that poison your love relationship and make you ‘forever alone.’ It’s necessary to grasp the importance of this issue and dedicate enough time to self-improvement.

A lot of Nigerians do not know that Nigeria is a secular state and they are also not aware that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not require that Buhari take his oath of office by swearing with the Quran. The drafters of the constitution made it crystal clear that any Nigerian of any faith or no faith can hold any office. It would have been very easy for the constitution drafters to include it in our constitution that the president should be sworn in with the Quran. But they didn’t. In other words, placing a hand on a Quran while reciting the presidential oath is simply a tradition that is not backed by the constitution. Meaning, it is absolutely unnecessary. Continue...
