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 youβre
saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, donβt 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 youβve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and
your family, please donβt let her go.
3. My son, donβt 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 youβre the head of the house, donβt look at your pocket;
look if you will see a smile on your wifeβs 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 sheβs aware of the home needs and bills
to pay but if itβs in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been
spent.
6. My son, donβt 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 youβre 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, donβt 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
fatherβs 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 youβve 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 wonβt endure with you in your little
beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, donβt compare your wife to any woman, there are ways sheβs 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
donβt meet your wife a virgin, donβt blame her, what I didnβt tell you is that our
women had prestige.
17. My son, I didnβt send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to
think a female child wonβt extend my family name, please donβt 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
wouldnβt lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their
arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but donβt forget that they didnβt 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 motherβs first sewing machine for her, help
your wife achieve her dreams just as youβre pursuing yours.
22. My son, donβt stop taking care of me and your mother, itβs a secret of growing
old and having children to take care of you too.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you donβt know, talk to
God that knows everything, everyday.
