Treat Your Spouse The Way You Want Others To Treat Them.

Na the name you give your dog others go call am (What you call your dog is what others will call it)

I visited an old childhood friend few days ago. There was chaos at their compound. I didn’t know what exactly was happening. So I waited in my car to at least get a glimpse of what was going on.

Few minutes later, I saw my friend’s younger sisters and brothers shouting at his wife.

His younger brother was threatening to beat her up if she says one more word. He was seriously moving towards her. Some of You here know that I naturally abhor such rubbish.

I quickly stepped out of the car and walked towards the boy while telling him to touch her, touch her and see if I won’t crush you here and now.

At this point, I didn’t even care to know what the problem was. Just the sight of a young single boy threatening to beat up a mother of four, his elder brother’s wife while his elder brother, the woman’s husband watched helplessly was enough for me to do anything.

I saw the sigh of relief on the woman’s face.

After everything, I found out that the whole drama was because since the day they all came to the village, my friend’s wife has been the one cooking with no assistance from his 4 okpokwu sisters with their long fixed nails and eye lashes.

On this particular day, she cooked for the family as usual. Dished everyone’s food. She left food for her children that were sleeping and one of her husband’s sisters served the food to her friends. When the children woke up, there was no food again for them to eat. She protested, that was her offence.

And a man that called himself a husband watched while his silly, irresponsible, inconsiderate and toxic siblings humiliated his wife.

I was disgusted. I just couldn’t hide my disappoinment.

You see me, I made it clear to my parents and siblings from day one that my wife is a no go area.

Some of you who are close to me know very well that you can’t say anything negative about my wife and get away with it let alone threaten to beat her. You smoke Abakaliki weed?

My siblings, relatives and friends practically worship my wife because that was the image I built about her from the beginning and I’m not ready to back down.

They know that if you want my trouble, say negative things about my wife.

I’m appealing to reasonable men to do everything possible to protect their wife especially during this festive period. Don’t be a coward because that was what I called my friend for watching his dusty siblings humiliate his wife while he did nothing.

The truth is that your wife is treated according to how you treat her or the value you place on her. If your parents or siblings can comfortably maltreat your wife in your presence, it means you are not a man yet. Take it from me.
