OK folks!

 

So much for images and pictures!

 

QUESTION TIME:

 

How many of you still hold hands with your partner regularly ?

 

You see in today's busy world---it looks like people don't have time for the simple but important things in a relationship.

 

Think about it---it is rare to see a married couple holding hands in public.

 

You'll see lovers holding hands.

 

You'll see couples having an affair holding hands---maybe not---they have to be secretive.

 

You'll see boyfriends and girlfriends holding hands.

 

BUT IT IS RARE TO SEE MARRIED COUPLES HOLDING HANDS ?

 

Why ?

Well chami! The Rev lives in New York City---there are always tens of thousand of people on the streets---there aint much hand holding in the big apple---maybe its the busy-ness and fast pace---no time for hand holding.

 

And Maybe things are slow paced in your neck of the wood---more time for holding hands---where do you live---Brampton, Markham, Scarborough ?

It might seem boring---but the Rev doesn't think it is. 

 

When you get the chance listen to some Beatles.

 

 

QUESTIONS:

 

1. Do you recall the first time you held your wife's hand or do you recall the first time your husband held your hand ?

 

2. DO YOU STILL HOLD HANDS ?

 

 

MORE LATER!

 

Rev

OMG Rev,

 

I recently bought the Beatles LP Box set remastered. They will forever remain the best Band ever.

 

I hold my wife's hand while we go for our daily walk. Our love will remain strong until death do us part. I notice a lot of our Guyanese men walking a few steps ahead of their wives.

"SLOW HAND" By The Pointer Sisters

 

I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love
I want a slow hand


N-I-C-E!

 

The Rev can tell you are a very sensuous and romantic woman Mira.

 

By the way Mira, has your husband, lover or significant other ever played the Conway Twitty version of "SLOW HAND" for you ?

 

Click and check it out:

 

 

Twitty changed the gender:

 

You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
You want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love
You want a slow hand

Nice to hear that yuji!

 

Listen! You keep showing attention to the first lady and keep treating her like the goddess she deserves to be treated like  and you will forever be a happy and contented couple.

Mira:

 

We know chami speaks her mind and tells the god's honest truth.

 

Now Mira, credit must also be given to chami's loving husband.

 

Based on chami's vivid description of her feelings when her husband holds her hands---the magic she experiences---she says the "juices" flow in her--- one can clearly tell that Chami's husband has the depth and the presence to penetrate his wife  on a spiritual and emotional level.

READ THIS:

 

Hey, You Can’t Hold Hands In Public!!!

 

I once knew a  beautiful Muslim woman full of confidence and charisma. Almost Every Friday, she and her husband would get out of their car and walk to the masjid hand in hand. He would lean down and give her a peck on the cheek before they parted ways, he to the men’s entrance and she to the women’s entrance.

 

One day, as she entered through the women’s entrance and stood to pray her two rakats to greet the masjid, a sister called out to her “Ya Khaltu” (Oh Auntie), don’t you and your husband know that holding hands in public is a sin, much less kissing! AstagfirAllah!! AstagfirAllah! At your age you should be ashamed.” May Allah guide us all!”

 

She stood still for a few seconds and then raised her hands and said the takbeer beginning  her prayer.  The younger sister smirked thinking that she had done her duty well. As Khaltu prayed, hushed whispers filled the room, each woman entering getting an ear full of the juicy gossip of the moment and the tale of how “khaltu” was given a good dressing down by the younger sister (who sat  basking in the attention).

 

When Khaltu finished her prayer, she turned around, tears in her eyes, but nevertheless dignified.  All the sisters quietened eagerly waiting to hear what Khaltu would say, itching to hear an argument so that they may go home and burn up the phone lines with the jumah gossip.

 

However, what they got was not an argument. Khaltu simply said perhaps, you think that I am crying  because of the “advice” given me. No, I am crying because as I was making dhikr, I heard all the hushed whispers,no doubt spreading the gossip. I was crying because I found out how eager my beloved sisters are to eat my flesh. 

 

She faced the younger sister and continued, “And what is your proof from the Qur’an and Sunnah? Do you have an ayat, a saheeh (authenticated) hadith?”  The younger sister thought for a few seconds before starting “I once read in a fatwaâ€Ķ.” “No,” Khaltu cut her off. “I follow the Quran and Sunnah. What does the Quran and Sunnah say prohibiting it?”  The younger woman couldn’t answer. “Well, I believe that settles it, correct?” Khaltu finished with a tone that made it clear she was finished with the issue.

Excellent citation Rev. Sometimes we are too righteous for our own good.

now as we get older.....we hold hands not only for the physical contact but often to keep each other safe.....crossing the street, walking in parking lots - going to Mosque, going to the doctors,  etc.

I think we sometimes get too hung up on this sex thing. It is usually the ones who are so worried about their picknees getting involved with sex that end up having picknees involved in it. I see no reason to separate men/boys from women/girls.

Well Mira:

 

If you answered YES--your husband/lover/significant other did play Conway Twitty's "Slow Hand" for you, then the Rev would say, "wow that's a great guy you hooked up with Mira."

 

If you answered NO---then I'd say, "well, he is still a great guy--any guy who picks a lovely lady like Mira as his first lady has got be  a great guy."

 I've been logged on for hours at GNI, but got caught up in some other kinds of reading and writing!

Rev, how can you be so sure that the husband/lover/significant other "picked" Mira? Why can't it be as Maya Angelou said...

The fire in my eyes

And the flash of my teeth

The swing in my waist 

And the joy in my feet

 

It could very well be that he was so enthralled that he made duah for Mira to pick him

That's a great response Mira---the Rev is most impressed with your poetry and your articulation.

 

So lemme get this straight---the lovely Miraver is the one who did the enticing and the seducing ?hahahaha

 

You know what they say Mira---pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality---it's part of the sizzle.

 

Hopefully the sizzle between you and your husband/lover/significant other never fizzled.

i like holding hands and stroll around.it gives me a secure feeling. 

 


Riya:

 

Are you saying folks in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island are more romantic than us folks in Manhattan ?hahahahaha

 

But seriously, show me a married couple who hold hands after years of marriage and I'll show you two people who have touched each other's souls.

 

CHECK THIS:

 

 

When Rev and the first lady get old---hope we can be  as loving and  affectionate as those two oldies.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel have been together since 1983---that's 30 years and counting.

 

THEY HAVE CHOSEN NOT NOT BE MARRIED.

 

Goldie said, "our relationship is more fun and exciting and engaging and loving than ever. We have never taken each other for granted. And we always find ways to make our relationship more meaningful."

yep, 1983 was a good year for me too...

 

like most normal couples, there were some rough times ... the great times far surpasses and my heart is at peace

 


In the history of this great planet and in the history of man and woman being in relationship with each other, there has never been a single couple that has not faced problems and difficulties and rough times.

 

The road to heaven is not paved with gold---you have lots of bumps and pot holes along the way.

 

BOTTOM LINE:

 

Couples who genuinely care for each other---they survive all the ups and downs---and in the end they find each other's soul----I guess that's when they find true love.

 

By the way, I mentioned in another thread---Oprah and Stedman have been together for 27 years----they are not married----but they are happy and contented being together----but Oprah did say if they had made it official and gotten married----the marriage wont have lasted.

 

One last thing---congrats on your 30 years and counting.
