HOPE NUMBER ONE

TEARS THAT ENDED IN PRAISE.

My darling Stella nah my tory be dis ooo.

Never in my twenty something years of existence have I experienced a miracle so fast, mine happened just when I was lost, hopeless and most of all tired of life. Abeg make una no vex oo, my story long but it all ends with praise.

   I met my husband at the age of 25, young, handsome man full of prospect. I was drawn to him almost immediately, we talked about everything even gossip sef, I found a friend, father, brother and husband all in one. I was so happy the day he proposed about seven months after we met.

 We planned our wedding and everything went on well, don't get me wrong within the course of dating we had our ups and downs but it was never nothing we couldn't handle.

   A few months into our marriage I got pregnant and reality set in that marriage wasn't a bed of roses. I was acting up from pregnancy hormones, and he was acting like a typical Nigerian man (i'm sorry ooo men in the house), but make I no lie I was nagging and we were just too private we had nobody to call our attention to how much we were drifting.

We began to have arguments, shouting and fighting always, Infact peace was far from my home.

  There were days he came back late and rejected my food, some days he won't even come home, and me in my small little head kept thinking there was a side chic. To be truthful there was but it's now I realise I contributed to pushing him out from my naggings.

  Fast forward a few weeks, he just picked his bag n said he was going to work, and wasn't coming back, that morning my heart was broken, I cried out my eyes and felt the world falling all over me, I thought it was because I didn't have a job and I was a liability to him that was why he was treating me as such but then again I forgot the part where I stopped caring for him. I was so frustrated that morning I put a call through to Stella, and I can confidently say that call was the beginning of me saving my marriage.

   When I called Stella I told her I wanted her to help me get a job or she should pls post an advert of my car so I could sell it and get money for business after she heard me out she just told me straight up, Olamide you sound stubborn so your husband won't listen to you (omo nah like say she pour me cold wata, my hand just fall). 

She told me to save my marriage first before I think of getting a job, she said I should fight back for my man and be submissive, send him messages, be kind to him, show him love and most of all respect, she even offered to help me with love messages. Honestly she spoke sense into my head and made me realise where I was going wrong.

   As God will have it, I listened, turned a new leaf, sought the love of my husband, even when he wasn't home I sent messages, I didn't relent even when there was no reply, it was hard I must say but I was determined to win back my home just as I felt all wasn't working God smiled upon me.

   One night my pregnant self just couldn't sleep so I decided to go and pray in the sitting room since my husband was fast asleep in the room. I was crying and just talking to my darling God, telling him how much I wanted my marriage to work, how I wanted peace to return to my home, how I miss the love and care of my husband, how I didn't want to be a failure of a wife. I cried and prayed for awhile and felt sleep knocking but that was where my miracle happened, it was more like God answered my prayers before I was even done praying, my husband was right behind me in tears. I was shocked when I turned, that was the first time ever I saw him cry, I was confused and kept asking what was wrong, my heart was pounding and racing.

   Then he said baby i'm sorry for all I have being putting you through. My heart just froze!!!, he kept apologising for not caring all this month's, he put his head on my bump and told our unborn child how sorry he was, kissed me and hugged me so tight in tears. Made promises on how much things would change positively, how peace and love will come back to our home. We talked and cried till almost morning.

  From that night I have being treated like a queen by my husband, peace, love and happiness have returned to my home never to leave again by the special grace of God. I have being receiving treats, going shopping, going to the spa, movies and just enjoying the rest of my pregnancy with my husband. We are taking baby steps in building back our home, learning from our mistakes and i'm very sure soon we will get to where we used to be and even surpass.

Nah there I remember say make I give Stella good news ooo, I called her we spoke, she was happy for me, I just could hold back the tears, because if not for her I would have being lost, if I had spoken to friends they would have given me wrong advise. But she told me the bitter truth I had to hear to save my marriage. 

Stella God in heave will continue to bless you, you shall never lack, your home will never break, your children will find favour wherever they go.

My dear ladies out there, single and married, pls have it at the back of your mind that marriage isn't a bed of roses but with God on your side u will always survive the rainy days. I hope my story will encourage those having a tough time in their homes that nothing is impossible. 

Abeg make I go dress up commot with my le boo. Whoever said a pregnant woman can't be sexy should think again!!!!

LOL...thank God for you Olamide.So so happy your story ended in praise to the Almighty GOD.
