Interesting Marital Story
Put Your Spouse First
A while back I heard an interesting story from a woman concerning her first marriage. She married this man from Nigeria two years after dating him. It went okay for the first six months. Then the man's two brothers who were here illegally came to live with them even though they had recently had a child. The brothers would not work. Sure they could not work everywhere due to having to fill out applications and such but they could have earned cash cutting lawns, plastering, moving furniture, etc. Needless to say, the marriage began to be on the rocks. The wife wanted the brothers to leave but the husband would not make them. Eventually, after three years of enduring the mooching brothers, the wife left and got her own place. Without the wife's income, the husband was unable to continue to live where they had been living. He tried to live with relatives but they would have none of it. Eventually, he resorted to selling drugs. He was caught and deported back to Nigeria. God knows what became of him. His ex-wife, on the other hand, has remarried and is very happy. She considers herself blessed. So, this is a lesson to everyone. Never, ever, ever put anyone on God's green Earth ahead of your spouse. To do so is to break one's promise to love and to cherish till death do you part, forsaking all others, and may result in the disolution of your marriage. Forewarned is forearmed.
Peace.
