This is an eye opening piece that pertains to every form of affair but i will use the marital union as a yardstick as it seems to be a more committed and stronger form of union.This write up is not about an affair which started on a shaky terrain but it is about a romantic affair that was so sweet,calm,beautiful... and all of a sudden like a horror movie,the whole story suddenly turns tragic.
Everyday, we see headlines about a guy proposing to a lady in a certain unique and romantic way and many ladies begin to fantasize about how and when their bae will do same to them. The wedding ceremony has become more important than the marriage proper and it is no longer news that many marriages crash shortly after the razzmatazz of flamboyant wedding celebration and super romantic pre-wedding shoots and much more. It is pertinent to understand that the only institution created by GOD himself is marriage and nothing gladdens the heart of Satan than to see that same institution destroyed on earth and this is why he will go all the way to see as many breakups as possible in marriages or potential marital union because satan knows that in most cases,break ups breed Adultery and fornication, hatred,disorientation for the children as well as carry over resentment for the partied involved which could be a ground for a recurring breakups. Marriage or any purposeful romantic affair is not a physical union but 100% spiritual but manifesting in the physical and when trouble occurs, it will always seem to be the fault of either the man or the woman when the truth of the matter is that it is most likely to be a spiritual attack that needs spiritual defense.
While i agree that some people in romantic affairs can be very careless and indiscipline, we must understand that there are some marital conflicts that look so ordinary and usually explainable yet could be as a result of spell from people within or outside the family especially marriages of African descend.
I have heard of strange things leading to marital break-up.
-Marriages destroyed because of argument over N20 toothpaste.
-Man calls off wedding during reception over unguarded comment of the bride made only to his hearing.
-Man stabs his wife over argument about who gets a larger meat size on the plate.
-Man beats his wife to death over very flimsy issues.
-A man or woman suddenly leaves a marriage and children and starts a life with a new person without any logical reason.
-A man or woman who have been so decent and Godly suddenly starts misbehaving.
-A man who have proposed marriage to a lady suddenly starts misbehaving and many more instances.
When we start noticing strange changes in a spouse or potential spouse who have before that time maintained a proper status quo,it is not the time to start nagging,cursing,blaming or fulfill the wish of Satan by heading for a break up but that is the time to fight the battle on your kneels,to pray and fast and depend on the creator of that institution to make repairs.
As they say in my dialect;"Obube isi a ghahi agwo isi owuwa.....meaning cutting off the head is never a solution to a lingering head-ache".
