To be or not to be married
Why is it that a lot of single people want to be married and the married want to get out of marriage? Is it a case of the grass looking greener on the other side or just some indecision…? The bible says that he who finds a wife finds a good thing and also commands husbands to love their wives whilst wives are commanded to submit to their husbands. Is it totally un-doable?

And so UDI, I protest…
So, having waited those five months, having emailed UDI (Norweigian Directorate of Immigration) many times, the Norwegian embassy in Harare even more times and even the King of Norway four times, and receiving from non of these parties a response that would tell me when I would get the VISA I must protest. To this day I am told “we do not know when your papers will be processed.”
Five months later! Not acceptable. In my own country where government departments have all but fallen apart, I applied for a passport and got it within two weeks. So, will someone please tell me, how a country, which has year after year been said to be the best place to live in the world, cannot process a VISA application in five whole months?
Can someone tell me how in an age of online transactions that take five seconds to process, it should take so long for a man to get the paperwork so that he can be with his wife?
And so I protest. Vehemently, I protest.
Starting Monday, 2nd March 2009, I am going on a reunification fast and I will drink only water till I get word about when I will be with my wife. I am also hoping that this action will bring attention to this issue and urge the UDI and other immigration departments around the world to fast track family reunification VISAs.
Sorry sweetie, but I protest.
Five months of waiting…
I have been waiting now for almost five months. It will be 5 months on March 7th. No sign of a VISA. No sign that there will be a sign of a VISA- and yet they told me two months. What system is this, designed to keep people apart for so long? What bureaucracy that does not make way- even for love?
Know any happy marriages?
Good day Zimbos
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine the other day about marriages. She was just remarking how so totally unhappy a lot of marriages are.
There’s a couple she shares a flat with who have been fighting almost every day for the last few months. Apparently it all started when the man was called up by an old female friend of his who was in town. He went out for lunch with her and then quite casually told his wife about it.
She erupted into an angry outburst about, ho nhai, inini you don’t take me out to lunch but your old girlfriends get special treatment. Apparently there were other “issues” besides the lunch date that had been simmering under the lid, cause all of a sudden a lot other things started pouring out. Read more

Could I have a push please
A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o’clock in the
morning by a loud pounding on the door.
The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
“Not a chance,” says the husband, “It is three o’clock in the morning.”
He slams the door and returns to bed. “Who was that?” asked his wife.
“Just some drunk guy asking for a push,” he answers.
“Did you help him?” she asks. Read more
