Couple Model?

“I will show you the stuff I am made of, I am a Lagos babe and I don’t take nonesense,” shouted Mrs.A. That was the noise we all woke up to in our very quiet environment at dawn that very day. I stood at the window of my house and peeped, my house is in the centre. Anyone staying in my house could see and observe whatever was going on outside because it is a storey building. I decided to go back to bed since it was still quite early.

“I regret ever getting married to you, I regret we ever came across, I regret ever speaking to you, I regret ever buying you that drink, I regret that day, ” barked Mr A. I hurriedly stood up from bed as though I was going to settle their fight. This actually sounds more than an heated argument. This wasn’t their first time of fighting, today’s own sound very serious. I went to my usual spot at the window and watched all that was transpiring between Mr and Mrs A.

“You know today isn’t the first day you will be doing this, I will show you how crazy I am,all your rubbish will end today, ” shouted again Mrs A. I could see her view clearly now. She was actually almost naked, she wore what looks almost like an underpant and a tank top. She ran into the uncompleted building in front of their house, carried a big stick and came running out back. I couldn’t hear what her husband told her, he stood from where he sat before and went on his knees. Chai this man don meet him Oga today I thought

She carried the big stick raise it high up and began to bash his car. She broke all the car glass and punctures the tyres too. Mr A. sat on the floor with his head bowed, his body shook. I pitied him, I guess he was weeping already. Only God knows what really happened between them that escalated to that extent.

Mrs A. entered into their house and brought out some clothes,she poured some liquid which I bet was petrol and burned them. Mr A. sat there and was glaring at her with bloodshot eyes. He was really angry. Like someone who was just brought out of a reverie, he went into the house and began to throw out some clothes and boxes. He dragged her out,while she struggled with him and cursed. He locked the door and went in.

They were the couples one would say were happy, they were hopelessly in love. There was a day I and my friend went to the supermarket and we met them there. They were so affectionate and respectful with eachother. To the extent that my friend said “I want my marriage to be like that”.

But now looking at what happened to them both, would one say their love went sour? Would my friend still wish she had a marriage just like theirs?

I am not saying they’re bad people, but you don’t wish for things you don’t know the depth of. You want your marriage to be like some couple’s own when you really don’t know what’s going on with them. Those your couple models are they really worthy of emulation?

Hearing where Mr A. and MrsA. met was shocking for me. He met her in a club and they hit it off from there. And he expects her to be a good and dutiful wife? He claims all she does was drink, smoke and presses her phone without doing wifely duties . It’s just as though you enter into the rain and still say you’re cold.

What are your marital values? Are you a born again Christian sister and the kind of guy you want is someone who drinks just a little or you love guys who are on dreads or he sags his trousers just a little. Because you feel you can deal with that.

Or you’re a brother you’re eyeing that sister who barely covers her body, or you just want someone who smokes or drinks a little. Is that really your marital value?

Now think about the kind of home you’d build with such a kind of person.

Be watchful of those who you call your couple models or couple goals. I am not saying you shouldn’t have couple models. Learn the needful from them. Let your eyes be fixed mainly on Christ. Let your marital values be christ-like.

Like someone will say, receive sense.
