A marriage broke because of water to wash hands
Husband and wife finished eating and then the husband said to the wife “Darling change this water”.
Prior to the husband, the wife had finished eating, stood up and washed her hands in the water set aside for washing.
Because they both ate an oily soup, the water had become dirty by the time the husband was ready to wash his hands, so he called his wife and said “Darling please change this water and also bring soap for me to wash my hands.
The wife responded “No no no, I’ve already washed my hands, you too stand up and go and wash your hands. What it is, I am tired”
In a normal home, if nobody is putting alligator pepper inside the home, shouldn't the man have said just “ it's okay” and afterwards stand up quietly to go wash his hands and then life continues.
Is that a big thing to do? Of course “no”. Life would have continued. But the man insisted that she must bring the water while the wife vehemently resisted that she wouldn't bring the water.
So they both went to sleep that way.They had a very simple home o. Simple life! Very good couple.
In the morning, he told the wife “darling I want you to apologize for what you did yesterday” she replied “I don't say sorry”. The husband said “you don't say sorry ke” “say sorry” she repeated it again and again “I won't say sorry”
You see it has moved from “change the water” to “say sorry”. So they both dragged untill they left to their respective places of work.
When they got back from work, the husband again said to the wife “I am not more angry with you, I just want you to say sorry and then that's all” She replied “I won't say sorry”.
The following day, after the wife had gone to her place of work, the man changed the padlocks of the entire house Before he then left for work.
Remember it had moved from “bring water” to “say sorry”. What was the next thing - “changing of padlocks”. The wife came back and found that the whole house was under lock and key. She called the husband but he wouldn't pick up her calls.
He got angry and went to an hotel to sleep. Later the man came back home, entered quietly and slept.
Hope you've not forgotten that it had moved from bring water, say sorry, changed locks and now sleeping in different parts of the city because simple thing that began.
See where it was coming from, like a joke they got divorced over “say sorry” and “I won't say sorry”.
The wife ran to our office. It will interest to know that I was involved in the whole thing not that somebody told me the story.
She said to me “My husband respects you, please take me to my husband now, I am ready to say sorry even it's for a thousand times”. I responded “Madam you're late, the door is shut”.
So I called the man “We want to to come and sorry o” He said it was already late. It was on speaker so the wife heard our conversation. That there's a time sorry can solve a problem and there's a time sorry would not solve a problem.
Can I pray for you “may your heart not be hardened against your spouse, in Jesus name”.
