DO NOT BE DECEIVED


Mary was single at 31 and she kept shouting on Facebook that marriage is not important for a lady and that those who are married are in bondage. At 34 she is now married and she is posting pictures of her and her husband on daily basis. She keeps telling people her life revolves around her husband. Janet asked her friend Juliet whether it was financially okay for her to marry a banker. Juliet said it was financial suicide because a banker earning 200k cannot afford you a decent life in Lagos. Janet took her advice and rejected the marriage proposal from Ken. Two years later Juliet married a secondary school teacher earning 30k.
She earns far more than her husband and nobody is hearing about it. Matilda was ranting on Facebook that she does not contribute money to running of the home. She insisted it is the sole responsibility of the man. Many people liked her status update. Many who read her update prepared for showdowns with their husbands. Little did they know that Matilda's husband has been out of job for 10 months and she is the one feeding the family. You will post about your husband's attitude or mistake (excluding physical violence) some women will start telling you to divorce the stupid man and move on with your life. What you don't know is that some of them are going through worse situations in their homes still they are there managing and praying for God to intervene while they are advising you to let hell loose. Don't ever let anyone control the narratives for you. Many people's opinions tend to hide their hurts. They will tell you what sounds like Wow! but go behind to do the sensible thing. Learn to make and take your own decisions whether for good or bad, so in the end you don't put the blame on anyone if and when things don't turn out well like you envisaged.
Your home will crash and they will still be in marriage and you will be wondering why you had put them in control of the narratives.
Your happiness and peace in your home is more important than any unfounded suggestions you could get from social media where so many people live fake lives.
Please, stoop to conquer.
This is also applicable to the Men.
WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT!
