Humble relationship ...(#141)
Most of us go with the idea that relationships now are based on money, not on the individual.
What I mean is that, especially in this 21st century, most couples don't have much faith in their partner.
Mostly when the man is broken and the woman's family is better than his own family.
Most times the couple will want to have little patience but when parents involve, especially the mothers.
It takes the grace of God for that relationship to stand and have a life that will lead them to marriage.
I never knew I was living with my best whom I choose as my soulmate (wife).
But I almost lose that person because my parents choose not to understand what I see in her.
My parents ask me to present someone I would like to spend the rest of my life with.
But before then, they used to tell me I should bring women that come from a very good family.
She must be highly educated and financially strong.
They did not want me to marry a gold digger, who would just love me for my money.
But unfortunately, they were disappointed, the lady did not have any of what they were looking for in a woman.
My parents and I were looking for different things.
I was just looking for a humble woman who can love me for just me, not what I have.
I try to make them understand but they fail to understand.
I did all I can for them to understand but the situation keeps getting worse.
I fight for the relationship since I love and see her as the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
After two years I did not change my mind, they reason with me and asked me to marry her.
I finally married her, and she made my home the best with zero stress.
After some years the love and humbleness she shows to me and my parents, this is what happened.
One day my parents came to our home and apologise to me and my wife for all they have put us through.
They never knew what beautiful massage I was trying to tell them.
They continue to say they were deaf and blind but now they can see (hahaha).
Sometimes you need to allow kids to make decisions for themselves.
