WORDS FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT
MARRIAGE
1. My son, if you keep spending on a
woman and she never asked you if you’re
saving or investing, and she keeps
enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.
2. My son, a woman could be a good wife
to you, some could be a good mother to
your children but if you’ve found a woman
like a mother to you, your children and
your family, please don’t let her go.
3. My son, don’t confine the position of
your wife to the kitchen, where did you get
that from? Even in our days, we had farm-
lands where they worked every morning . . .
that was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head
of the house, don’t look at your pocket;
look if you will see a smile on your wife’s
face.
5. My son, if you want to have a long life,
let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it
will be difficult for her to spend it when
she’s aware of the home needs and bills to
pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep
you asking even when all has been spent.
6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman,
the pain in her body is nothing to be
compared to the wound on her heart and
that means you may be in trouble living
with a wounded woman.
7. My son, now that you’re married, if you
live a bachelor kind of life with your wife,
you will soon be single again.
8. My son, in our days, we had many wives
and many children because of our large
farm-lands and many harvests, there are
hardly any land for farming anymore, so
embrace your woman closely.
9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did
meet your mother could be your eateries
and restaurants of nowadays, but
remember, the closet thing we did there
was to embrace each other.
10. My son, don’t be carried away when
you start making more money, instead of
spending on those tiny legs that never
knew how hard you worked to get it, spend
it on that woman that stood by you all
along.
11. My son, when I threw little stones or
whistled at the window of your mother
father’s house, to call her out, it was not
for sex, it was because I missed her so
much.
12. My son, remember, when you say your
wife has changed, there could be
something you’ve stopped doing too.
13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the
bicycle with me before I bought that
tortoise car outside there, any woman that
won’t endure with you in your little
beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t compare your wife to
any woman, there are ways she’s enduring
you too and has she ever compared you to
any man?
15. My son, there is this thing you people
call feminism, well, if a woman claim to
have equal right with you in the house,
divide all the bills into two equal parts, take
one part and ask her to start paying the
other part.
16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and
I took more yams to her father, if you don’t
meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her,
what I didn’t tell you is that our women
had prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to
school because I was foolish like many to
think a female child won’t extend my
family name, please don’t make that
mistake, the kind of female achievers I see
nowadays has made the male-gender an
ordinary tag.
18. My son, your mother have once locked
up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore
it because she was angry, I did not raise
my hand to beat her because of a day like
this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I
never for once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days, our women had
more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t
lie to you, some had minor painting of their
appellation mostly on their arms, the ones
you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget
that they didn’t expose any part of their
body like your women of nowadays.
20. My son, your mother and I are not
interested in what happens in your
marriage, try to handle issues without
always coming to us.
21. My son, remember I bought your
mother’s first sewing machine for her, help
your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re
pursuing yours.
22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me
and your mother, it’s a secret of growing
old and having children to take care of you
too.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is
a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God
that knows everything, everyday.e

True talk.... no.1 is xo true

Hmmm..
