I once allowed a female teacher looking for house to stay with me briefly until she pays up for her new house.
I told her the only person who knew about the arrangement was the proprietor who would understand.
She agreed to be discreet.
Her discretion was to wear my Arsenal Jersey with my name behind to school.
I didn't even bother explaining. 😂😂😂
My dad once told me, "When you start a family, that family becomes your PRIORITY. Don't let anyone, or anything, come between that, not even me." That always stuck with me. Don't let the family you COME FROM destroy the family you BUILD.
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 don’t drive. He does.
He does it so well that if he comes home and doesn’t 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 doesn’t 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 doesn’t 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 😁
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, “That’s my husband.”
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 doesn’t 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.
Women say they don’t need men, yet men have built or invented most of what we use every day. Men say they don’t need women, yet some wouldn’t even wash their feet if a woman didn’t remind them. Truth is, we were never meant to do life alone… we need each other.
Utu uzima unakuja na mengi. Kuna shinikizo la kazi. Kuna kupambana na ndoto. Kuna vita ngumu za kuongeza kipato. Kuna mipango kutetereka. Kuna kuishiwa. Kuna muda na familia. Kuna migogoro isiyosemwa. Kuna kujitafakari kunakohitaji kujitenga. Kuna kupumzika. Mtu wako wa karibu kutokupatikana haimaanishi hakujali.
Utu uzima pia hubadilisha mazungumzo. Kila unachokisema kinamkumbusha mtu historia fulani. Maumivu alo’wahi kupitia. Usaliti alo’wahi kukutana nao. Kuna imani zisizobadilika. Kuna tabia mtu anapambana nazo bila mafanikio. Kuna ndoto kubwa na mipango isiyotimia. Kuna hatia. Ombwe. Unyonge. Mtu kuamua kukuweka pembeni haimaanishi hakupendi.
Three minutes of lust will ruin your family. It will cause your spouse to never trust you again. Your kids will be robbed of a loving, two-parent household. Your friends and relatives will be torn between disbelief and disappointment. Worst of all, you’ll know you let God down.
Getting married isn’t the flex. Can you stay happily married? Anyone can trick someone into choosing them once. But will they still choose you after seeing how you handle temptation, hard times, money stress, and family pressure? When life hits, are you a partner… or a villain?
