Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

She stayed. Even when he stopped talking. Even when the house felt like a war zone made of silence. He paid the bills. But he never came home to her. Not really. When he did, he wasn’t there. And when she asked for love, he looked at her like she asked him for something impossible. Now, after all the tears and all the years, the Supreme Court has spoken. His inability to love wasn’t just coldness. It was incapacity. And that changes everything.

This decision cracks open a painful truth. Many are stuck in marriages where emotional connection is dead. And for the longest time, the law didn’t know what to do with that. But now, a psychological disorder can be enough. Not because someone didn’t try. But because something inside them wouldn’t let them. This is not about blame. This is about freedom. And the gap in our understanding of marriage, mental health, and the law is exactly where your research belongs.

Get Your Thesis Title — or Keep Getting Rejected

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

  • Your title keeps getting rejected

  • You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

  • You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.

That’s what the Thesis Toolkit gives you:

YTB Thesis Title Booster – because you need legit, research-based topics based on current trends — not random ones na “maganda pakinggan.”


Thesis Title Builder – because you keep forgetting na kailangan may survey source or research instrument ka rin, hindi lang title.


Research Gap Finder – because most of your drafts get rejected for one reason: Walang gap.

YOU NEED THIS IF...

  • You're tired of starting over

  • You're afraid to open your adviser’s feedback

  • You want a title, gap, and source na adviser-friendly and academically sound

This isn’t optional.
It’s either you use this toolkit...
or you keep wasting weeks writing titles na walang mapupuntahan.
