Sometimes, my wife reminds me of some of the awful things I said to her, in the early years of our marriage.
She must have said some awful things too, but truth be told, I really can't recall any.
She's a woman, so I can understand why words mean a lot to her.
This is even
after 9 years of dating.
Infact, just yesterday, she looked at me and said...
"Sweetie, you've really changed. I remember when I just had our baby, you said so so and so, to me, in the presence of your former colleague that came to visit us".
When she said it, it struck me bad
because I had to cast my mind years back, and what she said I said, I said it.
I even remembered where my colleague sat that day.
To further buttress what she said.
Few years ago, I met that same colleague.
Colleague: how is your wife and children doing?
I went on,
talking about them, appreciating my wife and gisting her about marriage life.
For over 20 minutes, this former colleague was just staring at me.
"Is this really you?"
"this is not you, that I used to know"
"remember when I told you, that you married a good wife?"
I was just
smiling as she was saying those words.
It took me 9 years and almost 5 years into marriage, before I realized that God blessed me with a good wife.
If I reveal myself to the world today, many people who used to know me, will be shocked.
I have still not dropped some old
habits, but I have significantly improved.
So when a small boy that just got married yesterday, thinks he can come here to throw shades at me, or my teachings, I'll teach him that I did not pick my wisdom fron the streets of social media.
Or from books.
They're real life
experiences, which cost me a lot.
But God is always merciful.
He's just starting, & I wish him the best.
To the rest of you...
Always take your time, to read what I tweet.
You may not understand them at first reading, but with time, you will.
If married people really want
to dedicate their time, like I do, to teach you people in honesty, you'll see that their messages will not be far different from mine.
And many of you will not make grave mistakes, if you listen.
Always remember, the truth will hurt you, but it will eventually heal you.
End.
