HERE'S A THOUGHT with THE MAKHS Gc LUKHELE ON: DIVORCE | SUFFERING WELL & HEALINGAs a platform dedicated to supporting and advocating for marriage, we understand that sometimes relationships don’t work out the way we hope. Divorce is a painful and difficult experience for everyone involved—men, women, and especially children. In this installment, we want to acknowledge the deep emotional impact of divorce, while offering insight into the healing process and the role forgiveness plays in moving forward. Our chat with @gc.grams has shown us that even after a marriage ends, there’s always room for God to turn pain into purpose and new beginnings.

HERE'S A THOUGHT with THE MAKHS WE’RE BACK IN THERAPY! | Feeling Disrespected & UnSeen?We’re back in counseling, and it feels like a new chapter. There’s a lingering issue we’ve been navigating, one that has kept us from seeing eye to eye. What we cherish most about this season of therapy is the growth we’ve experienced as individuals. We’ve learned to disagree with love, to listen deeply to one another’s feelings, and to unite in pursuit of our shared goals. It’s a journey of understanding, and we’re committed to walking it together.

He has faced the difficult journey of drug addiction which led him to being a missionary at the age of 17 at an organization called Youth For Christ in Cape Town.

HERE'S A THOUGHT with THE MAKHS Too Stressed For Sex? | A Man's PerspectiveNot initiating sex can leave individuals feeling emotionally bruised and struggling with low self-esteem, often creating a sense of insecurity within a relationship. This issue isn't solely about desirability; various factors, such as stress and mental health, can impact one's libido and ability to engage. For many, societal expectations dictate that men should always be eager for sex, leading to misunderstandings when they aren't. It's essential to recognize that not wanting to have sex doesn’t reflect a lack of attraction or commitment, but rather the complex realities of life that affect us all. Open communication and understanding can he...

HERE'S A THOUGHT with THE MAKHS MARRIED PEOPLE, STOP THIS!When it comes to inquiring about the state of a married couple's relationship, it's wise to tread lightly, for they often tend to emphasize the challenges. Marriage, without a doubt, is a profound blessing and a precious gift, albeit one that demands effort. It has the capacity to stretch individuals and may occasionally create discomfort during personal growth. Nevertheless, the rewards derived from such dedication are immeasurable. In our own experience, we have gleaned valuable insights from this aspect of life, acknowledging that we may not always portray marriage in the most ideal light through our words. Let's do...

In addition, it can create a sense of pressure to constantly create content, leading to a never-ending cycle of filming, editing, and uploading. This can leave little room for downtime or relaxation, and can negatively impact mental and emotional wellbeing. While vlogging can be a fun and creative outlet for sharing one's life with others, it's important to strike a balance between creating content and enjoying quality time with loved ones. The br...
