i had the most beautiful thing at night. I was having a c-section. Immediately the baby was brought out, the father just started pouring scriptures on the baby... non stop.
I was elated and glad at the same time to see a young white guy pray like that. He even preached to me!
Several years ago, I began coughing up blood. Panic set in, and I was rushed to the hospital. The attending doctor, alarmed by the symptom, immediately suspected tuberculosis. Without waiting for test results, he announced the presumed diagnosis and urgently advised isolating me. Family and friends instinctively stepped back. I, still weak and frightened, weakly asked everyone to keep their distance for their own safety. Everyone compliedโexcept my wife.
She did not move an inch. Even when I specifically asked her to leave, she quietly refused. Instead, she drew closer, took my hand, and held me tightly, as if to say, โIf this is contagious, we face it together.โ
Hours later, proper tests revealed the truth: a small tear in my throat combined with acute bronchitis. Nothing contagious at all. I was treated and sent home within days.
Looking back, that moment stands out as one of the clearest demonstrations of the depth of our bond. My wife has walked beside me through every major trial of my adult lifeโfinancial struggles, career setbacks, health scares, family losses. She has never wavered.
We married early, one advantage of early marriage.
Marriage truly is sweet when you find your personโthe one who chooses you, again and again, even when fear tells everyone else to step away.
In 2014 I lost my job and feeding was tough.
We made a hard decision to sell our footwears because we had lots of em ...over 30 pairs
My wife had to hawk them and we made good money and I started e-commerce on Jumia market then I think it was KAYMU and I built up from there
My husband has been my driver for the past 10 years of our marriage.
He drives me to work.
Drives me for my business.
Drives me for shopping.
Anywhere I want to go.
I donโt drive. He does.
He does it so well that if he comes home and doesnโt meet me in the house, he will call, locate me, come and pick me wherever I am, and bring me back home. Not from control, but from care. He simply doesnโt want his wife to stress herself.
Recently, I decided to register for my theory test so I can do my practical and start driving. Oga has already declared that he will not allow me to drive at night because he doesnโt joke with his wife.
For 10 years, he has been consistent.
There were days we both had night shifts. He would finish his own by 6am, drive straight to my workplace, park in front of my company, and sleep in his car until I closed by 8am. Then he would happily take me home, after collecting his kiss ๐
Yes, he gets a kiss when he drops me off.
And another one when he picks me up.
One day, a colleague mistook him for a homeless man because he was sleeping in his car outside our office. I laughed and told her, โThatโs my husband.โ
Over the years, many people have mistaken him for my driver. He would drive me somewhere, park patiently, and wait in his car until I was done. No complaints. Not once in 10 years.
Love doesnโt always shout.
Sometimes it waits quietly in a parked car at 6am. And no he is not a simp, he is just expressing love in his own way.
I need married people to quote and reply this tweet with sweet and really thoughtful things your spouse has done for you. We need a TL cleanse from the Negative marriage PR.
