To Sarah’s utmost surprise she took in immediately, In no time, Sarah and Anthony had three lovely children and Anthony was the best husband and best Dad in the wh0le Universe. He always made Sarah happy. Sarah meant everything to him, indeed, thier union was made from heaven.

And then one day, it was just few days after Christmas and three days into the New Year , Sarah and her husband Anthony were watching the 8:00pm news on thier favorite news channel, when a picture of a man who killed his wife on Christmas day flashed on the television screen. One look at the screen, Sarah was shocked, She recognized the man whose picture was displayed on the screen

“Mark?” Sarah scre-med and Anthony stared at her in confusion.
“Do you know him? “Anthony asked
“Yes my ex, Mark, I told you about him” Sarah responded
“Mark, oh the violent Mark” Anthony said calmly and he held Sarah’s hands passionately
“Honey, it could had been me, oh Lord thank you for saving me, now I know that disappointments are blessings in disguise, I knew Mark would be a wife beater, he is short tempered” Sarah said.

Few years later, Sarah and her family were at the airport waiting for thier flight to the United States.
Anthony got a well paying Job in the United States and he decided to relocate with his family.
There were at the airport when an elderly woman and a man, walked in and sat beside them.

The wh0le time, the old woman’s sight were on Sarah’s three children, the three innocent children were running around and that got Sarah’s attention, she wondered why the aged woman was staring at her children in that manner and then the elderly woman turned to the man she came in with.
“I have told you countless times, that I need grand children but you are not doing anything about it, take a look at these beautiful children, I know thier grand mother will be happy whenever she sees them” The old woman told the young man who Sarah assumed to be the old woman’s son.

Sarah was shocked when her sight wandered to the young man who the aged woman was talking to, lo and behold, the young man turned out to be, Francis, her first love, She almost dropped dead, suddenly her throat dried up, she lost her voice, she swallowed saliva but still she couldn’t utter a word. She tapped her husband speechlessly and point to the direction where Francis and his mother were seated and Her husband stared at her as he wondered what suddenly went wrong.

“My Love, are you okay? ‘Anthony asked and held her hands passionately
“Francis!” She whispered
Anthony stared at Francis and thier eyes jammed. Francis looked at Anthony and wondered why he was staring and then Francis’s Sight wandered to Sarah. Immediately Francis was certain of who he saw, he ran to where Sarah was sitting with her husband.
“Sarah, is that you? He asked. Sarah managed to give him a smile

“Hi Francis, nice to see you again after a long time” Sarah finally greeted and Francis reciprocated
“Is that not your mom? “Sarah entered sharply
“Yes that’s my mom, oh you still recognize her? we are going on a vacation” Francis said and smiled. Sarah greeted Francis’s mother and the old woman was pleased to see her and she was surprised when Sarah pointed to the children who were running around as her children.

Suddenly Sarah’s thought went to her husband and she quickly introduced Francis to her husband
“Francis meet my husband and the father of my children” Sarah said calmly as she smiled to her husband who greeted Francis and he reciprocated.

Francis stared at Sarah’s husband and children speechlessly, for a second, he envied Anthony, he wished he was in Anthony’s place.
“Oh I thought Sarah will never be able to concieve because of the several abortions, oh I wish I never left Sarah” Francis thought
Sarah didn’t bother to ask Francis if he was married or not as his old mother had already told her that Francis had never brought a good girl home, ever since they separated.

“The last girl, she dated slept with his friend” Francis’s mother had said while Francis looked away in shame, He signaled his mother to stop talking but the old woman continued
“Why did you leave my son?”The old woman threw in and Sarah told her it was the will of God. She didn’t bother going into details as it was a long story.
Anthony was a very understanding man, he had stepped aside, so Sarah could intEr×¢t with Francis and his mother.
Finally they went thier separate ways when they got into the flight. Sarah reminisced on her life and she was so thankful.

“Is even better to get married late and end up with the best spouse than to marry early and end up with the wrong spouse” She thought
She held Anthony all through the flight, she k-ssed him at any chance she got. And Anthony loved it when Sarah k-ssed him, he was also k-ssing her back
“Anthony is the best thing that has happened to me, thank you God, I’m grateful for my husband and my children. Thank you for giving me such a lovely family, my husband is my best friend and the love of my life. He is not just kind and humble, he also has the fear of God and he loves God, Lord thank you” Sarah thought.
Sarah and her family landed in the US soil and then they settled permanently in the United States, Where they lived happily.

It’s not wrong to marry early but be careful before you choose who to Marry.
Don’t Ignore the Red Flags
One of the most important decisions you can make on the road to your destiny is choosing who you will allow to be a part of your life. The people we spend time with affect our journey. They influence us to move forward and rise higher, or they hold us back and cause us to live in mediocrity. It’s important to recognize the right relationsh¡ps, and when you see that a relationsh¡p is unhealthy, you have to be willing to let it go so you can be in the right position to receive what God has for you

Not every man is a Husband material.
Some are friendzone materials.
Some are Boyfriend materials.
Some are s€× mate materials.
Some are baby-papa materials.
Some are husband materials
Some are father materials

Marry a Man that would be a Brother, a good Husband and a Father to you
Some ladies, get into marriage with men who have no business being married.
Marriage is not for everybody.
Some men are not wired to function in matrimony.

Don’t allow marriage desperation or societal pressure to push you into the arms of a man who is not ready or suited for matrimony.

Don’t marry a man because you are pregnant for him.
Don’t marry him because he deflowered you or he was your first boyfriend
Don’t marry him because you are unemployed.
Don’t marry him because you’ve dated him for long.
Don’t marry him because you invested in him financially.

Marry him because you believe he is worthy of being called your Husband and the father of your unborn kids.
There are men everywhere but Husbands are scarce.

I pray for you yet to be married: you will not experience marriage bondage. And for you that feel you’ve made a mistake, retrace your step, and rededicate your marriage to God.

God is faithful and ready to help you and he will help you out.

This is not a gender war. If you are a man don’t take it personal. I know there are also “un-wifable” women but that’s a story for another day. Thank you for your understanding.
God bless.
