Has He ever Cooked For You At All? by lajuiren

Has he ever cooked for you at all by lajuiren

My husband and I travel a lot for ministry. We try to take turns travelling so that we don’t leave the kids without a parent in town per time. In the month of May, I went on a number of trips, so did He. One time, he was on his way back from a trip and I went out of my way to prepare Amala and Ewedu with gbegiri and goat meat. I wanted him to know how glad we were to have him back.

Then I heard a whisper:
“Last week, he travelled, you made Afang soup, today, Amala.
See how you’re slaving away, cooking for him. Has he ever cooked for you since you’ve been travelling and coming back?
Has he ever cooked for you at all? Are you a cook?”
I suddenly became upset and agitated. Something I was doing with so much joy just one moment before immediately began to annoy me. I had been in similar situations before, usually the next thing that would follow would be a fight over something small and inconsequential because I had already began an argument in my mind when the guy wasn’t even there.
But thank God for the Holy spirit.

He reminded me about all the times I traveled and my husband came to pick me up from the airport. He was also the one who took me to the airport every single time.
Have you ever driven him to the airport?
Have you ever picked him up from the airport?
My answer was No.
I laughed and returned to making ewedu for the love of my life.
Devil, not today.
Let me be a cook for the man who has made himself my driver. I will outdo him in love and honour.
Your spouse may not be good in some areas. But what areas are they good at?
Many disagreements in relationships are simply a matter of perspective.
Before you blow up, think.
Before you argue, remember.

Before you compare, know this:
Every relationship is different.
The underlying principles are the same, but no two relationships are the same.
And before you walk away in anger, but yourself in the other person’s shoes.
