Oh my husband episode 25&26

OH THIS MY HUSBAND

Part 25
ERRORLESS SPOUSE

That same day, my husband didn't come home again.
I would have been bothered, but I was busy going for one program or the other to care.
He knows that though I hate his wicked habits, I still care. I can't say I really love him.
The hurt and pain had killed the love that was there before. But as a human being, I still care for him.
He knows that what makes me mad most is his absence from home for days. So, he intentionally skipped coming home.
Naturally, I would have called him fifty times and sent him ten text messages or two hundred and thirty WhatsApp chats. But I was busy. I didn't make one call. Neither did I send one message.
The old disciple's meeting on Wednesday evening was wonderful. We had about twenty-five couples gather at a hall nearby.
Sister Hamet my landlady was also there. She was the one in charge of the new disciples.
She gave each of us a pen and blank sheets, she asked us to write the errors of our spouses. That the team will assist us to send it out to our partners.
I was happy. Finally, I can tell my husband what he is doing wrong. I asked for extra sheets. I know I have a lot to write.
I settled down to write and discovered that it was impossible to write anything about him because the pen was not working.
I looked at every other person within the group, we all have the same problem. The pen was broken. They have no ink.
We were set up. We were given papers with pen that had no ink.
Sister Hamet told us to keep writing with the inkless pen. That even an inkless pen will still make impression on the paper.

After we all agreed this was a fruitless effort. She gave us working pen and told us to write thirty things our partner does right and we should appreciate.
Just at that time, our drinks and meal were brought. We were told we can't have the meal, or join the party, till we submit the list.
Ahhh, I don't think my husband has up to five things he does well. How can I write thirty? A whole thirty....
It was like a punishment but I started thinking and subsequently started writing. That made me to start seeing my husband in a different light.
He is not a monster. All in all, he is a good man. He can be playful; he gives good massage. He can turn a very good food into an awful sacrifice because he loves experimenting with food.
He cares about people's feeling and can act as your driver when you need one. He can sleep by your side or on the floor when one is hospitalized.
He is not a bad man after all.
I manage to write thirty points. I gave the points to sister Hamet and decided I needed to go home to see if by chance this lovely man can come home today.
He might have been evil but he also can be an angel.
I went home and cooked for him, but he didn't come back home. I started getting worried.
Thursday till Saturday, he didn't come home. But I can see him online chatting with friends and responding to posts in groups.
I was cleaning the house for the umpteenth time when he breezed in Saturday evening.
He took a long look at me, then went to his room. He came down with a packed bag.
He looked at me again and said "you are acting strange, only witches would change suddenly like that. You have gotten extra powers to fight me. It is when you see me that your power can work".
Before I could reply him, he walked out and left.
I was devastated again.....
This continued for one month. He comes home on Saturday and disappears for all the week.
But I can be very stubborn. I have made up my mind, I will use love to conquer this man so I won't give up.
Every Saturday I cook for him; I wear my sexy cloths and ensure the house smells nice.
I can see that he notices the set up. But just being adamant and uncooperative.
After one month of this hide and seek game. I cried to Pastor.
I explained everything I am facing to him. I told him that I am getting tired.
He smiled and said my husband is suffering from AMS. "Acute Mislove Syndrome".
So he would need three doses of lovaquine tablets daily and lovaphysiotherapy once every week due to distance....
What does all these jargons mean......
Did Pastor study medicine too?

LOVE QUESTION

I asked Pastor, did you study medicine too?
He smiled and said let me continue my story about my own marriage. Then we would talk about the medicine.
Smiling, Pastor continued his story, have I told you I love stories? Yes oooo
Pastor said; I made the house look like a club house for my clubbing wife, she stayed at home for a week then went back into clubbing outside the house.
For three months I kept using all the methods I can think of, I even followed her to the club once but discovered I will only end up in hell with her.
I don't have to break God's law because I wanted to save my wife from breaking God's law.
After three months of no luck, I went back to Baba Jay and told him that I was tired and fed up.
I have spent the last three months working on my wife and she hasn't change. So, I am giving up.
Baba Jay laughed me to scorn for the way I spoke. If I didn't respect him as an older man, I would have walked out on him.
Baba Jay told me bluntly. Your wife is not the reason why your tactics to get her failed. You are the reason you failed.
I felt offended, me!!!! Am I the one going clubbing or sleeping with other people, what is this man saying....?
Baba Jay continued..... You think you are saving your wife, no..... she is not the only one that destroyed the marriage. Both of you worked on it together to destroy your home.
Baba Jay was very blunt and honest with me that day.
Baba Jay said; Stop looking at your wife as the problem, you are also a problem in your marriage.
You guys had spent over four years together. In these four years you have both been selfish, you have both told lies, you have both worked very hard to destroy your marriage.
Can you swear before God that you never said anything wrong, you never made a mistake, you never hurt your partner, you never did something you knew your partner doesn't like?
How can you expect four years of damage to heal within 3 months?
Pastor sighed... that was a very tough question for me to answer.
Pastor continued, at this point I asked Baba Jay, what can I do?
Baba Jay simply said,

"Go back and find reasons to love your wife again". "Stop looking for errors, stop justifying yourself, stop deceiving yourself, JUST LOVE AND KEEP LOVING BECAUSE LOVE CONQUERS ALL"
So that day, I went back home and sat down to write hundred things my clubbing and fornicating wife had done for me that will make me love her. I was able to write forty-seven.
I also wrote down things I discovered in her that made me marry her, I wrote down seventeen.
I photocopied all these good points and placed it in my room. I laminated it and placed it in my bathroom. In the kitchen, in the hall.
I determined to love her again. I endured seven more months before my wife finally gave up clubbing and drinking totally.
Three months after she stopped clubbing, my wife gave her life to Jesus.
Today, I am glad that I loved her till I won her over. It's over nine years now, I'm enjoying the fruit I painfully sowed for one year, one month.
Pastor stopped talking and gave me a serious stare.....
He asked me with all sincerity...
"Sister Joy"
"Yes Pastor " I replied. "Do you love your husband enough?" He asked. Hmmmm
Can I lie to a Pastor?
