He was shocked to see his friend raise his voice at his wife.
The whole thing was looking strange to him. Like he has never tried it on his wife.
“Aaaaaah! My Angel? I can never raise my voice at her. She is just so sweet." He finally spoke up when his friend confronted him.
His friend looked at him and laughed out loud, and then said to him, “O boy, you are not man enough oooo. How can you tell me you don't shout at your wife?" He continued.
“You are not serious ooo. How do you want that woman to respect you. I mean, how do you want her to regard you as her head if you don't shout at her?" He asked again, and continued.
“You need to tell her who the head is, and the only way to do that is to shut her down whenever she wants to talk. She is only permitted to listen and not talk."
“If you continue this way, that woman will trambl3 on you oooo. She will start disrespecting you. Don't say I didn't tell you oooo." He advised.
That day, he left the office with a new resolution. He decided to start being the man that he is, by shouting at his wife.
“Since it's working for my friend, I know it would definitely work for me." He resolved.
That night, he raised his voice at his wife five good times. At first, the wife was shocked, and then, she became withdrawn.
The next day, the ever lively woman that always gave her hubby a beautiful peck, that hugs her dear husband to pray for him deeply before he left for work, couldn't do all of those things again. She was scar3d, and shocked.
That day at work, things seemed so different. The man couldn't concentrate. Everything he did seemed to work against him. He couldn't understand what the problem was.
And then, he remembered, that for the first time since they got married, he had left the house without the goodwill of his dear wife.
The smiles, the hugs, the pecks, the encouragements, and most importantly, the prayers, he didn't receive all of that before he left for work.
And then, he realized, what he just did. He had closed a channel, his channel of goodwill, just because he wanted to prove a point, and be like his friend.
That day, as he returned from the office, he stopped by at the Aboki's Suya Joint, bought a great deal, and then, got 2 bottles of Vita Milk.
He came home and met his wife sitting on the cushion in their sitting room. The moment she saw him, she je**ed up from the chair, fidgeting and shaking.
“Googooood afternoon sir." She said as she shook in fear. She was too scared to come close.
And then, he realized the hàrm this little attitude of his was already doing in his home, his marriage and his dear Angel.
“Come here," he said in a romantic voice as he took a step closer to his wife.
He held her by the hands, brought her closer to him and said, “I am sorry honey, for causing you pains. I didn't intend to. Please forgive me."
The wife was shocked. It looked like a Nigerian movie to her. “What exactly is going on?" She thought to herself.
And then, she made to talk, to speak, to apologize, to .....
Her hubby closed her lips with a finger, and said to her, “You don't have to say anything honey. You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything. I was only a victîm of negativé influences." He explained.
“I promise it will never happen again, my Angel." He pledged.
They hugged, and remained mute for some time. And then, the joy flowed again, the assurance came again, the peace returned.
And his woman came alive again.
“Aaaaaaaah! I am perceiving something from your bag. It's like you bought something to brîbe me." Her wife yabbed.
“Yea! I bought your favourite. Suya and Vita milk. I needed to appease the gods for tampering with my Angel's heart." He joked.
“The gods have been successfully appeased." She smiled as she took his suitcase and the nylon containing the Suya.
They gisted as they happily went inside the room to have a sweet fellowship.
Every relationship is unique. Don't measure your relationship based on another man's yardstick.
Your marriage will thrive 🌹
