Pastor, I was shocked to my bone marrow, I couldn’t believe that she could raise her hands on me I asked if she knew that she just slapped me…and she said yes that she would do that over and over again if I did not stay off her way.
Then the scenarios of all I had gone through in that woman’s hands started playing back in my mind, I realized that she did not love me at all, I remembered how I had always tried to make this marriage work, but my efforts along is not enough, my wife is not committed to the working of this marriage at all. I have been a fool all these while…
I discovered that for these 10 years of our marriage, I have done only what she wanted, I run errands for her, she does not run errands for me, I obey her she has never yielded to me on any issue before right from when we were dating, 13 years ago, is either I do what she wants or pass through hell in her hands…. I wasn’t like this when I married her, whatever type of man I turned out to be today is her attitude that made me so…
Sir as I remembered all this, I started pitying myself which made me cry so much that night. Then I made up my mind to stay off her way as she had requested…
This is terrible the pastor said slowly…but you should have called my attention since instead of allowing the situation to deteriorate like this, the two of you sound very bitter towards each other and it is not supposed to be so…this is the result of untreated marital issues. Keeping quiet or ignoring problems in your marriage is not the solution to marital problems, matters should be attended to on time to avoid resentment and hatred…But no matter what has happened, God can fix it the pastor assures Brother Abayomi.
Brother Abayomi shook his head and said Daddy, I don’t think it could be as easy as you are saying because my wife is a difficult person can she agree for this marriage to work?…
God can do it, brother, don’t be afraid…
Daddy, I love my wife and I want her not to take me for granted I need her to love me back too, but this woman has never appreciated my love for her she is never satisfied. Anything I do is not good, she complains about everything…
I realized that she was taking me for granted too much, and this made me make up my mind about her and later concluded that I needed to rearrange my life, I needed to change it for this woman, I needed to take my stand, I needed to man up and that is what I am doing right now Sir.
Oh! I see, I think I now understand the reason why you both are having this conflict, I need to see the two of you together, thank God today is Friday, I will be coming to your house first thing tomorrow morning, God shall restore the peace in your home in Jesus name.
Amen, Brother Abayomi responded…
The pastor held his hands and prayed with him so he left.
