Husbands and wives should learn to settle
their quarrels without delay. I have seen situations where couples allow a 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 note this. You might have a reason to call your spouse and together refresh your oath that "OUR QUARRELS WOULD NOT LAST BEYOND THAT
MOMENT" (at most 24hrs).
This story was told by a man of God:
Husband and his wife had a domestic disagreement one
morning. The man said he was so bitter about it, claiming his wife knew she was wrong but refused to apologize. She felt it was a non issue that 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. We are humans o. Blood flows in our
veins too. Make una hear well well.
Three days on, malice reigned in d house. The
husband said he must get that "I am sorry."
Wife cooked, husband refused 2 eat. Everyday
he came home with food from restaurant. He
avoided matrimonial bed. Husband found new
friends in the children. Same with wife. By the way, the children were too small to break the ice.
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 crack created by Mr and Mrs. 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 then 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 in front of 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 sped 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 or girlfriend?" I am not saying this to impress anybody, but because it is true.
Couples must learn to respect each other.
