I have heard a lot of women saying a lot of things about marriage, and about 85% of these women that says what I am about to say are not yet married, and so I kinda not believe them at all. You see women everywhere you go, including in movies shouting that men are scum.
And then i look at my self and ask one question, HAVE THEY MET ME? if they do can they survive? Can they like ever want to leave? The amount of love and care I'd shower on them, can they ever see it anywhere. Book me now, your one and Only husband material, not aba made, not made in China, original from God! Dokt miss your chance now! I'm even available at promo section now 😅...
I watched a video recently, and then they were talking about something funny, in fact, they were singing, and it was so funny that I had to watch it over and over again.
They sang in pigin, it was like:
love no be scam, na you go follow yahoo boy, watin do pastor?
Amaka!
Love no be scam, na you go follow yahoo boy, watin do tailor
Precious!
Love no be scam, na you go follow mumu man, watin do painter... And so on like that..
In our church about every year, there is something we do every month of may, we call it family month, and so last month was our family month, in this month all we talk about everything we can on family. So about three Sundays ago, we had a session of the family Sunday, where three set of parents were selected, and these parents were asked to complete some certain relationship tasks, they selected parents that as spent above 25 years In marriage, then patent above 10 years in marriage, and then one of 5 years. it was so lovely and funny, and aslo entertaining, guess what the couples had to do.
The 3 women of the selected couples were asked to knot their husband's tie, it was so funny that it was only one that tried, the rest were just like they were tieing as goat, I couldn't laugh more...
Then they asked the men to knot or tie up a gele scaff for their wifes, oh my God, you should see different styles, some from the 90s, some from the 2010, while one was from the 2018 or so, it was just so funny, after that..
They asked the couples to dance, then after then the men or husbands should carry their wifes. And only the one of 5 years of marriage could carry his own wife still...
Watching that program that day didn't just make me laugh but made me see marriage in another way. Some of them were not able to complete some of those challenges not because the were old but because they didn't keep that friendship in relationship as long as their marriage ha lasted.
The marriage of about 5 years was looking so sweet that everyone wanted to get married, but the others weren't that sweet, and so I asked my self, will I grow old and my feelings or the way I relate with my wife grow old as well? Will giving birth to children stop or reduce or separate me from loving my wife the way inued to from the start?
They say marriage is not a Disney world where a prince finds a true love and then he lives happy ever after, i watched a movie and then they started that there was no happy ever after, cause marriage was hard, but they loved and took care of themselves forever...
I promise to take care of my woman till forever do us apart. I want to marry and my wife never regret marrying me.
I can do it, it has happened before, it can happen again!
Thanks for your time. I love you all...
