Three basic ways that most hubands and wives handle cash

-
   
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(
1Tim. 6v10). Many relationship, friendship and the likes, has been separated while others has been broken as a result of the love of money first.  
There are three basic ways that husbands and wives handle money.
  • The first is what I termed Selfish-male way. 
  •  The second way is both-selfish. 
  • The third way is what I also termed truly Christian marriage.

  The first is what I termed Selfish-male way.
    In this case, husband concluded that, all my money belongs to me as well as the one that my wife earned. He will also went further to hide how much he earns. In other way, he keeps it as a secret because he plans to spend most of it on himself and not much on his wife and children. It's little wonder that many women are tired of the selfish-male way. They say, instead of continue begging my husband for money, I'll get a job. Then, everything I earn is mine too.

       That seems fair. But wait a second, it doesn't make the home very happy. You asked why? Because it is still selfish. More so, when wife decides to be selfish too as her husband, they have endless quarrels.

The second way is both-selfish. 
        In this way, the husband would say, use your money to buy food. I use my money to buy a car. And the wife also would response, no you buy the food. I bought the fridge with my money. But God, clearly tells us how to spend it better. As we have read "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ( Matt. 6v19-21). Take your to read through (1Cor.9v14, 2Tim. 6v17-19) among others. He also said, a husband must be thoughtful of his wife's needs. (1 Pet.3v7).

The third way is what I also termed, truly Christian marriage
        The idea husband would say, buy some clothes for yourself. And the wife says, you need clothes more than I do. The husband should now response that I will wait to buy clothes. Instead of spending much on ourselves, let's give as much as possible to the work of spreading Christ's kingdom. Fantastic!
      However, if your husband waste all his money on beer, clothes, cars, and the likes, my advice to you as a wife is, keep your money separate. But if you and your husband are christian, sit down together and discuss the subject of money. If you wish, invite your congregational leader to join you.

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Tit...

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

-

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks. It makes students easily distinguishable to outsiders. It might even cause financial issues for guardians with limited income. In such a case, the solution is to allow students to dress according to a specific dress code. ...

How long should my resume be?” is one of the most often asked questions about resumes. Lately, job seekers were advised that a resume should not exceed one page. Those who broke this golden rule were destined for the circular file. Times have changed, and thus has the criteria for resume length. The new guideline is: A resume should be long enough to entice the hiring managers to give you a call for an interview. That may sound vague, but there is no hard-and-fast resume length rule that works for everyone. Things to consider include career objective, occupation, industry, experience, years of experience , scope of accomplishments and education/training. Resume Format: Keep these factors in your mind when deciding on resume length: Your resume can be a career marketing strategy, not an autobiography. Do your best to keep your resume concise and focused on your key selling points. Leave out the past experiences that don’t market you to your current goal. Every word in the res...
