Broken Pitchers
Women who intend to get married and remain happily married should learn the secret to a good marriage from their fathers.
Fathers are the greatest teachers of marriage and staying happily married to their daughters.
While they could learn homemaking and other skills from their mother, the key to being happily married is with their fathers.
If there is no father in the picture, learn from your elder brother or an uncle, or any other father figure.
The worst teachers of marriage and staying married to ladies are their mothers or other ladies.
The reason is that the wiring is the same
Emotion overload
Fathers offer logic, and they can easily help a woman figure out the inner workings of a man like themselves.
I was at a wedding reception, and the bride's mother was itching to speak, so they gave her the microphone.
She said, "I want to beg my son-in-law not to beat my daughter, since I married her father, who is still my husband; he has slapped me only once, and I have still not forgotten nor forgiven him till today."
The father of the bride took the microphone later and said, "Mama Bayo, you were the one who slapped me that Sunday morning. When we got to church, you went to report to the pastor that you wanted out of the marriage.
The pastor called for me and asked me what had happened.
I told the pastor you slapped me.
The pastor asked you if it was true, and you said it was true.
The pastor then said you should stand up and face me
You did
And the pastor said I should slap you back.
I did, but not with malice; it was a gentle tap on your cheek.
The pastor then said we should embrace, and I should not talk about the slap again because it will make my family hate you if they hear of it.
However, you have never stopped talking about that slap since that day...
"Everybody laughed," but he has provided context and killed the bad impression his wife gave everybody on their daughter's day of joy.
