Oh My Husband

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 29

Lovaquine Injection

I was still very shocked at the news of how a husband will kill his wife over quarrels.

Do you know how many times I have argued with my husband?

I googled coolval stories and I discovered that there are over 5,000 cases of husband killing their wives over simple arguments.

Ahhh what a world….

While I was with my phone, I discovered that Pastor had sent me a message earlier on.

The message reads;

MMP is a serious psychological problem and can only be resolved by reversing the negative information virus that has destroyed your perception of your partner over the years.

These are the ground rules for the next ten days; You will receive a message from us. One in the morning, one at noon and one in the night.

These messages will try to highlight the positive virtues in your spouse.

If other women want to do this at home, they would take a paper and write down thirty common features in their husbands’ character, virtues that should be appreciated.

E.g

He married me.

He chose to be with me.

He always comes home.

He never abuses my parents.

He loves my food.

He follows me to ante-natal.

He pays the children’s school fees.

He looks handsome.

He loves my children.

We still have sex.

He watches football at home.

Now, celebrate three points every day for the next ten days.

Think deep about the positive aspects in these points. Think of times when he had exhibited these points.

Sister Joy, for the next ten days, resist every attempt to think of anything negative about your husband.

Don’t in anyway join in negative discussions about your husband or about men.

If your friends on Facebook or your groups on social media start discussions about the evil that men do. Don’t join.

Purge yourself of all the negativity. It doesn’t mean you are running away from the reality.

It means you are creating the new reality for your own marriage.

Don’t forget, if you can think it, you can dream it. If you can dream it, you can have it.

For the next ten days, you can only think of the good habits and characters in your husband.

End of message.

All through the morning, I kept thinking of those days that my husband and I had quarrels.

I was the violent one. I’m the one that had almost killed him before.

He is a man who will never throw anything on a woman. At least that’s good about him.

By 12 noon, I got another message.

DOSE TWO

Few times when rain caught you both by surprise, your husband always uses his own cloth to cover you.

Ahhh yes, this brought smiles to my face. My husband will not cover himself in rain. He would always cover me first. This had happened several times.

By 3pm I got another message.

DOSE THREE

During your last operation, your husband slept on the floor beside you in the hospital.

I paused, where is Pastor’s wife getting all these from. They are very true about my husband.

I realized, I had been so afraid of evil, I have been so taken up by his faults, I have been so focused on his errors.

I have really missed looking at my husband for the good man he can be.

He could be a monster sometimes, but most of the time, he is a very good man.

Hmmmm, we have both magnified the negatives more than the positives.

Truly this MMP sickness can destroy marriages because my marriage is dying from so much cynicism and negativity.

These messages kept coming every day for the next nine days. Morning, afternoon and evening.

At night, Pastor would send me prayer points such as;

•I reject all lies about my marriage.

•I reject all negatives.

•God is love and I am God’s.

•I receive grace to love my partner beyond their fault.

By day ten of the treatment, I had loved my husband again.

Yippee I’m cured of MMP. Now I’m ready for the next stage.

I am ready and on fire to save my marriage.

As if the devil knows what I have been going through, he waited till the last day. Then he strikes.

This very painful news came via text message on the night of day ten.

It was 10:56pm exactly when I got that hurtful text alert…..
