ManofGod extols wife of 30 years

30 years of undiluted  marital bliss 

Muna gi so, Munagi so mi-baby o!

At 28, I was not searching for a girl friend. I was intentional about searching for a life partner. Silently, I had asked God to give me a woman  yes a woman, not a girl. A woman who would make up for all my shortcomings and weaknesses.

A woman who would stand by me through thick and thin. A woman who would be steadfast in pursuit of Godliness. In Ndidi, God made a statement that we could get more than we deserve.

For five years courtship that metamorphosed into this marriage is always in my mind, the excruciating kind of romance. It was one year, one emotional block, one attack of jealousy, one why must you marry him. Let me spare you the long gist…. The end product of that building is sustenable, enviable, adorable, huggable and lovable relationship.

I married my wife. And no mistake about it.

For five years, I studied you to show myself approved. And like all the endeavors I had undertaken in this lifetime, I relied on God’s enduring grace. It worked perfectly. You know some of those opportunities you benefit from in life which no man, no matter how powerful can take away from you.

For one second these 30 years, I have not had any cause to regret this choice. For 30 years, God has proven that perfection could be achieved overtime not minding our imperfections.

Specifically, I.am celebrating my wife for being supportive, caring, loving and inspiring. May be,  just may be, my life may not have been this enviable if I hadn’t made this choice.

Whether there have been twists and turns? Yes! Whether we are good together? Perfect. Whether I would choose her again? Certain without hesitation.

Thank you for being a wife and not a knife these past 30 years. Thank you for posting five star performances in all spheres of human endeavours. Thank you for making marriage such a bliss. I can’t thank you enough for being deliberate about loving me and the children.

You have endured all the lows associated with being a politician in a society where benefactors play God. I am happy that you appreciate the idiocy of fair weather friends.

As I look at our children, I sit back and feel the criuse. Whereas they may not be perfect, they remind me that I married a responsive, yet very responsible woman.

Today, I rededicate myself to you. I come in thanksgiving to a God who planned it all out. I appreciate the fact that those who desire peace could see ours as a model.

I look up to our 50th in good health and amazing prosperity.

Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary to my tear rubber Isuochi Damsel that year
