Best Way To Keep Your Marriage by espn(m): 10:09am On Aug 01, 2012
This probably the best write up had see in a very long time.4tumbled upon this on a friends page..nd wish to share it with you all..take your time to read dis.. My name is Dayo. I’m a typical Nigerian guy and I cherish my Fridays
a lot; I get to hang out with the sickest guys every Friday night and
secondly, It’s another escape from my nagging and boring wife. I
get confused sometimes on whether she’s my mother or my wife.

Don’t get it twisted; I love her pieces. It just gets complicated; like I
wish we never got married…marriage has turned her into
something that doesn’t amuse me. I wish she was still the
adventurous, charming, high spirited lady I dated for five years.

A lot of people say its unethical for married guys to be found in a
club, but I wish everyone won’t be too quick to judge and
understand that people look for fun to run away from their
problems; they just want to breathe, like me.

I forgot to say that I work in Guarantee Trust Bank along Lekki, I love
my job and my job loves me, maybe its because I’m the senior
banking officer. Lol. This particular morning, a lady breezed into my
office. My heart raced faster because I had not sighted anything this
beautiful in a long while. She wasn’t the typical slender Barbie, in
fact, she was a bit chubby but her smile, cuteness and…I was
tripped.

“Hi Good morning! Your ATM has swallowed my card!” She laughed,
unlike a typical customer that would ram you.

I just tried to form Boss laughter…

“Good morning, You know what? I’d personally make sure they get
it out for you, but not today. Can you wait till Monday?” I smiled
“GTB shaaa! OK, can I just drop my number so you could call me up
or just text when its ready so I don’t come twice? Please? My name is
Nancy” She blinked her eyes in a funny way.

“Sure” I smiled

We exchanged numbers. What a lucky Friday!

So it was 10:00pm and I headed to the club…as usual my friends
were chilling for me. My wife had called a couple of times, I just
ignored it. She knows I’m never home Friday nights.

“Look at you!” I heard someone say. I raised my head and it was the
ATM lady-Nancy.

“Wow, look at you too!” I was surprised to see her but I was happy I
didn’t have to wait till Monday to see her again.

“Happy Friday!” She screamed because of the noise, “Wanna dance?”

I didn’t even have the chance to answer, she already pulled me to
dance floor. I really suck at dancing but she helped me; she was a
great dancer! I had fun! At some point we decided to go to a private
area and we talked, ranging from work, business to personal life. I
tried to hide my ring as much as possible, I certainly didn’t want this
to end now.

“You are a really wonderful lady. You are so interesting…any guy
would want to be with you all day” I said.

“I wasn’t always like this but I have learned the hard way that life is
just too short to be sad” she sang
Then her phone rang…

“Hey baby! Yeah I’m at the private lounge, I’d like you to meet
someone…alright boo” she talked excitedly as usual.
I was in shock until this tall handsome man walks up to her and
kisses her.

“You were late. Meet Dayo; I met him this morning, he’s helping
with your ATM I told you got swallowed and Dayo this is my B to the
O-O,” she laughed “Meet my husband Kolade, we only come here to
dance every fortnight Friday; away from work, stress and kids.”

“Wow, a pleasure” I managed to shake him
Then she stood now excitedly holding her husband’s arms.
“Why don’t we invite Dayo for Mimi’s 16th birthday tomorrow?” Her
husband said
They have kids too? How long have they been married and they look
like a couple just dating!
“Silly me, please come for my second daughter’s 16th tomorrow. It
would be an honor” She brought out an I.V from her purse.
I began to feel so ashamed of myself…this was another guy like me,
getting it right with one woman.
I collected the I.V and promised to be there.
“See you tomorrow! Have you had something to eat Kolade?” she
talked and dragged her husband along.

They left and I kept staring at the thin air like I had seen a ghost.

They come just to dance together every fortnight Fridays? Why
didn’t I think of that! Temi loves to dance…she also likes long walks,
she loves to talk…she loves jazz music, there’s this vivid picture I
have of me putting her hand on my chest when we danced at a jazz
club on our first year anniversary…I found myself typing all the
things I knew Temi loved to do on my I pad and I realized I had
denied her of all…I had made her the old woman she acts.

What the hell was I doing here! I didn’t even tell my friends
goodbye, I walked out of the club into my Jaguar. Temi’s call came
through and I picked at first ring.

“Temi?” My heart raced

“I know you are not coming home…”

“I am, stay up so we can gist. Been a while” I decided to do
everything on that list and to even add many more for the rest of
my lifetime with her.

“Are you alright?” She was shocked I suppose
“And I’d like us to go for a birthday party tomorrow. I want you to
meet this amazing couple”

“You sound different Dayo”

“Maybe I’m different”

“Don’t say it! don’t say it! when you come we will gist very well” she
laughed
She laughed!!! In just that laughter that I hadn’t heard in a while, she
sounded like the lady I married six years ago…

Dear reader,
I wrote this natural piece just to remind us that creating memorable
moments with our partner matters. Do you know that little things
are the sweetest things? Just creating time to gist and laugh with
your partner, having a day in the week that’s exclusively for you
both-No friends or kids allowed.
Lady, when last have you told your partner he is so darn hot? Guy!

When last have you told your lady she is the sweetest thing? When
last have you whispered ‘Thank you’? When last have you been
quick to say ‘I’m sorry’?

Do you even have a clue on what your partner loves to do?
When you ignore little things, they are the little pieces of rocks that
build up to become a mountain you can’t easily break down.

Pay attention to little things, believe that they work and experience
new bliss!
