Being a wife is a job, not a calling.
It doesn’t happen through God’s will, but is a moral choice.
Girls don’t just become women. They only become older girls, but mature into womanhood.
Without proper decisions and a mature sense of moral responsibility, girls enter old age trapped in wrinkled skins.
Despite their brittle bones, they remain girls, not women. Growing up demands personal effort in terms of decisions and discipline.
I remember when mobile calls were only charged for after about three seconds and clever people developed beep talk.
This was for straight-to-the-point type of talk. You’d call a friend as short as possible, ask him where he is and hang up before the three seconds were over. He would call you back and tell you where he was, the weather at home or in town and hang up in three seconds.
Full-length conversations would be made out of many snap chats.
It was convenience talk and people did it to avoid costs.
But tragedy strikes when this type of communication creeps into marriages and relationships.
Nothing beats the pain of a meek, moral wife watching her husband change for the worse.
When the man, who God made the family head, starts losing respect for family time, communication and commitments, the wife is still expected to submit to him.
Getting married to a man knowing he is a cheat is better, because you know what to expect and when the worst comes you will be ready.
What’s worse is to marry someone who only becomes a cheat later.
