How to make Your Marriage Last - Vol.2 (SUPPORT)

 How to make your marriage last - THE SUPPORT ROLE OF THE WIFE

Goodmorning, it is me, Oga Innocent, the driver on the wheels. Behold the volume 2 of “How to make your marriage last”.

Remember how we intended to do it. We are still on the “Things to DO (THE DO’s) to make your marriage last as a woman”. We were discussing the DO’s under three projections:

 1. LOYALTY 

2. SUPPORT 

3. $EX

We are already done with LOYALTY, if you missed it, check it out here:

Now without taking much of our time, let us attack the topic of today: 

HOW TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST – VOL. 2 (SUPPORT)

As a woman, the most striking reason of your existence as a wife to a man is the status quo – support. Remember the reason God created woman ab initio. Remember woman was not in the programme of events during the creation. The creation of woman was circumstantial. And what was the circumstance that led to the creation of one of the most important creatures of God? He needs a helpmate. That was the clause that changed the programme of events – He needs a helpmate.

Many marriages are becoming boring because the woman has deviated from the position of being a helpmate to the position of being “a helped mate”. Others want their husbands to be their helpmate. It is not the way. That way that seemeth right to you are the ways of death (Prov. 14:12). Listen to the way:

As a wife, support your husband. Check, is he psychologically down because of one investment that is about to crumble, be a psychologist. Calm him down. Is he medically unfit, do not send the maid or nanny to go and stay with him in the hospital because you are working in the bank. You were created to be a helpmate, not a banker. Is he physically weak, massage him. Is he hungry, then be ashamed of yourself. Is he financially down, you can actually pay Chiboy’s school fees at least for that term.

Your husband must not provide the money for food before he eats. Do not tell him there is no food in the house simply because he left without dropping some dough.

He is back from work, weak and stressed out, help him out with the ropes of his shoes; help him remove the heavy suit, put out the water for shower; is he tired to go to the bathroom, lead him there; he cannot even bath himself, then bath him.

We are talking of support here. Support your husband in all ramifications, and enjoy your marriage. Most of the things I say here, are meant to be practical. I do not believe in theoretical pronouncements that will end up just entertaining the reader. That is why I tell you the things to do and how to do explicitly without hiding or mincing words. So if you are a wife or a potential wife, apply the few tips above and give us feedback if it worked so that others (our Thomases) will see and believe or if it did not work so that we change our tempo and strategy. Seeing your marriage last is my concern.
