OH THIS MY HUSBAND

Part 27
MMP

No, I don't love him sir. I replied.
Pastor sighed and asked me. What do you feel for him?
I replied; sir I can't love him again because he has hurt me and my love had died.
I like him just as I like my next neighbor.
Pastor smiled and said; Sister Joy, it is like a prison to plan to live with a man you don't love.
You cannot live with a man you don't love. You cannot divorce this man. God hates divorce and anything God hates is a sin. Living with a man you don't love is a lifelong prison sentence.
Do you want to be in a lifelong prison sentence of unhappiness...?
I didn't answer, I was just looking.
Do you want to become a divorcee or want to have a broken home?
I didn't answer, I was just staring at my fingers.
"Sister Joy", Pastor called me.
"Yes sir" and I started crying.
Pastor's wife spoke from behind me. I didn't know when she came in. She said,
Love does not die, love is everlasting. The day Pastor started loving me again, I knew.
I could see it in his eyes
. I could hear it in his voice. I could see it in his actions. I knew he loves me again and I started working on reciprocating that love.

I tested him over and over again to be sure that he truly loves me. Then I could not find any fault in him. I saw myself as the problem.
I became angry with him that he is now good and I am the problem. Finally, I accepted his love and for over nine years, that love has conquered me.
Your husband can only be won with love. Not just likeness. Not just faking it.
Only true love matters.
At this time, Pastor's wife was holding me close to herself. I was sobbing.

She turned to her husband and called him.
My Heartbeat!
He answered; Yes, My Rose!
Sister Joy needs ten days of Lovaquine Injection.
He nodded and replied..
Yes, she is seriously infected with Marital Malaria Parasite. "MMP".
My look to her was quizzical. Which one be MMP again? Trust me I asked...
Haba, which one is malaria inside marriage again.
Pastor explained; As you know that mosquitoes spread the malaria parasite. In marriage, wrong information spread marital parasite.
You have been informed that no marriage can be truly happy and you have believed it. Lies have been said that all men are cheats so you expect it or you dread it.
You have believed more in the weaknesses of your spouse than in the good in them.
Stories you read about broken homes stick more in your head than the stories about nice marriages.
Symptoms of MMP are,
Headache: Most discussions with your spouse gives you headache. You prefer not to talk many times.
High temperature: Your blood boils at weaknesses seen as errors in your partner.
Vomiting: You vomit very hurtful and abusive words when you argue.
Sweating: Your quarrels are making you lose resources, joy and money.
If this Marital Malaria is not treated it will enter high Fever stage and the next symptoms of high fever are;
Hallucination: You begin to see and hear wrongly. Every step your partner takes, have no meaning to you. You see wrong motive in everything they do.
Fainting: You suddenly feel tired of your spouse and this makes you to get out of the house wishing to break the marriage.
If this is not treated, it could damage the marriage and lead to Marital Immune Deficiency Syndrome (MIDS) which is equivalent to AIDS. Which can lead to death of both the marriage and the partners.
Ahhh, marriage has aids again? I asked in tears, my mouth can't just keep quiet.
Yes. Anyone who is divorced is suffering from Marital Aids called Marital Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
At this stage no matter what the partners does, they are no longer in love. The marriage is starved of the main reason for its existence in the first place, which is love.
Have you not read that love covers all sins? Where there is no more love, all sins are magnified......
Divorce happens because both partners have deprived their marriage of the adequate level of love required to keep it alive.
Pastor stopped talking.
The Pastor's wife looked at me and said. “My darling, you have been properly diagnosed by the love doctor, my husband”.
You will be treated with ten days of injection, three times daily. This may sound confusing to you, but as soon as you get the first injection, you will understand.
I never knew there were medical terms for my marital woes.
I didn't know there are injections for people like me.
But if I can get cured and have a sweet marriage like my Pastor's, then I will be very glad....
Lovaquine Injection.
What does it look like?
Will it be painful?
I am waiting to find out.
Aren't you curious too?


OH THIS MY HUSBAND

Part 28
Lovaquine Baby

I went home that night. I was emotionally tired. I don't know how to love this man back. All I can see are the hurts.
If not for the fact that Pastor had gone through what I'm passing through, I would have said he doesn't understand how difficult it is to love my kind of husband.
I went to sleep shortly after I got home. I didn't bother to eat or drink. I hope I don't have ulcer because of this marriage wahala.
I had a dream; I saw my husband like my baby. I was his mother. I was actually carrying him in my hands.
In the dream, I knew he was my husband but at the same time he was my baby boy. Instantly, I knew I was married to him but the motherly instinct in me was stronger.
He started throwing tantrums. I cuddled him like a mother would take care of a baby. Showering my baby with love.
By my side was an old woman. She tapped me and said,
That baby just started misbehaving and crying for no obvious reasons. The baby didn't even make any sense, no warning, no communication, no discussion. The baby just started crying.
You didn't throw him away. You didn't beat the baby; you didn't start crying neither did you stand up to report the baby.
You love the baby beyond all his errors. Whether the baby will finally grow up to like you or not does not stop you from loving the baby.
I asked her; "old woman, how can I love my husband like a baby, he is a man not a baby".
She replied; You called your husband "my baby" when you newly married, didn't you?
As usual, I was just staring, I couldn't answer.
The old woman continued; Go and love him like you would love a baby.
She also said; "the good book never gave you a condition for love. Stop attaching conditions your God didn't attach. Just love him".
I looked from the baby in my hands to the old woman.
I had no defense; I was just staring......
The old woman started fading right before my eyes and I could hear her voice like a whisper telling me.....
Go and love your husband. Your sickness of love has a cure, your first dose of love medicine has arrived....
I woke up startled from the dream. I checked the time; it was morning already.
I ran to my door to check if any medicine had arrived. Nothing was there.
I checked by my bed if an angel had dropped a package there overnight, it was empty.
Haba, where is the much-awaited medicine. I hate to be disappointed oooo
A text entered my phone, it was a message from Pastor's wife, it reads;
Good morning sunshine.
For ten days, we would send you thirty reasons why your husband is not a monster but a lost man. thirty reasons why you should appreciate him. MAKE EACH REASON YOUR PROFILE PICTURE FOR MINIMUM OF THREE HOURS AFTER RECEIPT

DOSE ONE
The first thing you have not appreciated your husband for, is that fact that during all your quarrels, he didn't get angry enough to have killed you like this story

hmmmmm, no matter how crazy my husband is, I didn't marry a killer.
Hmm, there are many good things in my husband that I have been blinded to
