A lady shares her story
please read…………
Yesterday,
I went to interview a preacher. He came three hours late to his church, venue
of our meeting and I was a bit angry. But when he explained what kept him, not
only did I
forgave him quickly and learned some lessons, but I decided to share this with you so that some of us could learn.
Husbands
and wives should learn how to settle their quarrels without delay. I have seen
situations where couples allow simple disagreement to fester for days. Husband
is silently hurting, expecting the wife to speak to him first. Same for the
wife hurting and expecting the husband to play the man. The waiting game leads
from one thing to the other. If you are at this level of matrimony, please read
this. You might have a reason to call your spouse and together take an oath
that "OUR QUARREL WOULD NOT LAST BEYOND THAT MOMENT."
The
story as told by the reverend: Husband and his wife (his church members) had a
domestic disagreement one morning. The man said he was bitter about it,
claiming his wife knew she was wrong but refused to apologise. She felt it was
a non-issue and the husband should overlook easily. To say "I am sorry,
darling", to her husband was difficult for her. So many people are like
that. So many wives take their husbands for granted too much, and some husaband
so the same to wife. We are humans o. Blood flows in our veins. Make una hear
well well.
Three
days on, malice reigned in the house. The husband said he must get that "I
am sorry." Wife cooked, husband refused to eat. Every-day he came home
with food from Tantalizer. He boycotted matrimonial bed. Husband found new
friends in the children. Same with wife. By the way, the children were too
small to break the ice. I've been there before. Thank God I am wiser now.
On
Sunday, last Sunday, they went to church in their different cars but sat side
by side during service, pretending to be jolly good husband and wife. Fraud in
the house of God! Jibiti ponbele! May God forgive some husbands and wives, but
after service, husband went home with the children while she waited for women's
meeting. That day, Satan decided to enter the crevice they allowed in their
home.
The
husband was home already. When he perfunctorily checked his phone, his wife had
called him thrice. He disregarded calling her back. Malice! The wife drove in
some forty minutes later. He saw Usman opening the gate for her as his phone
went on ringing. He checked it. It was his wife. She was in her car at the
garage already. What is she calling me for? Foolish and stubborn wife! He said
and ignored her calls. The call went on for a while. He ignored it as he sat
with the TV.
Thirty
minutes later, she did not come in. Something told him to go and check. Is she
still in the car? Yes she must be there. He called Usman, Is madam in the car?
Few minutes later, Usman rushed in. Madam dey sleep inside the car o. That was
when he woke up and rushed downstairs. Asthma! Could she be having her usual
attack? Could she have forgotten her inhaler?
He
quickly took the inhaler and rushed downstairs. When he got there, she was
almost breathless. Usman and husband quickly carried her to the back seat and
off, he speed off like a bat out of hell, to the clinic nearby. Madam was
confirmed dead!
If
he had picked her call early enough, probably she could have been saved. When
you leave domestic disagreement to fester for too long, it leads to greater
evil. The preacher said husband is weeping mad, blaming himself...I killed my
wife! Only God knows how many wives, husbands, children have died such a needless
death.
Couples
must cultivate one another. No matter how angry I am with my wife, I, in my
office, she, in her shop, I call her at least three times during the day. I
call even when I have no reason to call. All I could say is "Where are
you?" "Wetin dey?" "Anything for your boyfriend?" I am
not saying this to impress anybody, but because it is true. Pastor said as he
narrates story.
