WORDS FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE.....
1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re
saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.
2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to
your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and
your family, please don’t let her go.
3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get
that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every
morning . . . that was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket;
look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.
5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary,
it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills
to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been
spent.
6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be
compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living
with a wounded woman.
7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your
wife, you will soon be single again.
8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our
large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.
9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your
eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there
was to embrace each other.
10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of
spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend
it on that woman that stood by you all along.
11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother
father’s house, to call her out, it was not for s*x, it was because I missed her so
much.
12. My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be
something you’ve stopped doing too.
13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the bicycle with me before I bought that
tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little
beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring
you too and has she ever compared you to any man?
15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to
have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take
one part and ask her to start paying the other part.
16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you
don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our
women had prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to
think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake,
the kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary
tag.
18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost
tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day
like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I
wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their
arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose
any part of their body like your women of nowadays.
20. My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your
marriage, try to handle issues without always coming to us.
21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her, help
your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours.
22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother, it’s a secret of growing
old and having children to take care of you tooo.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to
God that knows everything, everyday.✌️
