One of the best marriage advice I got this year came from my friend Ken. The brother looked at me straight in the eyes and with a mean face he said;
"Allison, every hour will not be happy hour. There will be times when she will not even look attractive to you. There will be nights when it will feel like your body is immune to her touch and sexiness, wrapping your warm arms around her in bed will not be interesting to you as it once were, all you will just want to do is maintain your own side of the bed and sleep yourself away. When these moments come bro, do not believe for a second that the grass will be greener on the other side, rather than chase after new adventures with other beautiful ladies in skimpy skirts and nice curves, buy your wife some new sets of underwear, and then find new ways to take them off."馃槝馃槏馃槏
--If you don't understand what this means, halleluyah! you're born again. 馃槀馃槀馃槀
As the year 2017 comes to an end I want to also leave the gang with this advice;
Don't be like those people who go into marriage with false expectations. You won't read the Bible together every single morning. You will not always pray together every single night, some days one of you will be working late, distracted or too tired to say an 'Amen'.
You won't watch your favourite TV programs in peace every time. You won't remember to flush the toilet sometimes. Some nights you will sleep off before you remember to say I love you. The love making will not last five minutes most times. You will miss the family dinner sometimes. You will not rub her feet and comb her hair while singing her a lullaby every time.
It does not work like that.
You will fight, fight, fight, argue, and not get along most of the time. But your love will always be demonstrated by refusing to give up on each other, no matter the odds. This is the beautiful reality of marriage.
It has been a beautiful 2017 with you guys, see you all next year!
And always remember this;
THE DEVIL PICKED A WRONG BATTLE COMING UP AGAINST YOU. IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE TO FAIL.
