Did you agree before getting married?
Did you agree before you got married?
Well, what kind of a question is that? Of course, you agreed. I mean, you’re married aren’t you? Would you be married if you hadn’t agreed?
Hold your horses! You see, over the years I have discovered that most couples that end up in failing or failed marriages didn’t really agree before they got married.

Married to a huricanne?
Lucky tossed to and fro on the bed trying to catch some sleep. He had the 2 hp Air conditioner on full blast but it didn’t help, no, not this time. His mind was deeply troubled. Maria had just stormed out of the room in a fit, after another heated argument, almost yanking the door from its hinges, by the force of the jam!
A few years back, earlier in the marriage, Lucky would have rushed after her to placate and bring her back to bed. Now he had simply turned off the lights and crashed on the bed pulling the cover over his head. He really didn’t care that much anymore! Read more

It took Angela two weeks to make her mind up. Like all Melancholies, he could be cold and calculating when it comes to taking revenge. Melancholies do not flare up in sudden bursts of anger. It takes time for their anger to boil over but when that happens, the consequences can be devastating.
She located Darlene’s Apartment quite easily. All she had to do was drive at a safe distance behind Timmy early on a Saturday morning when he was supposed to be on his way to the Club to play Golf! Read more

Timmy came home that day and apologized for all the grief he had caused her! He told her he had seen the error of his ways and he wanted to make amends. But it was difficult to believe him, there had to be a catch. She had never seen Timmy appear so repentant!
When Timmy saw that she was having difficulty believing him, he said he had become a Christian and repented of all his sins! That made sense, since she had spent hours before the TV watching Televangelists! She had been praying that God would intervene in her situation. Could this be the answer to her prayers? Read more

Angela was so confused she almost became a nervous wreck! She was a virgin when she married Timmy and she was from a nice, stable, religious home. She just didn’t have the faintest clue as to what to do.
Talking to her parents was simply out of the question. Timmy had warned her of dire consequences if she dared speak to her parents about what happened! From the rage he displayed before he stormed out of the house, Angela couldn’t take his words lightly.
For the next three years she lived in hell! Timmy was unrepentant and she began to prepare for the inevitable. She had to leave him. She was dying slowly and she knew she had better get out before her life was completely ruined! She lost so much weight that her parents and friends at work became really worried. Read more
Love me my own way!
Adolf looked at me in utter bewilderment. He opened his mouth to speak twice but no words came! He was, as they say, flabbergasted!
His wife on the other hand was quite calm. She fixed her gaze on a spot on the ceiling and tapped a finger on the arm of her chair rhythmically!
I knew I had to calm Adolf down. He was German and he was quite upset, to put it mildly.
‘I still think this is something that can be sorted out’, I offered.
Adolf continued to stare at me, his wife shrugged. Read more

Let’s send ‘em all to mars!!
I could see from my table that the sad looking fellow seated opposite me at the Hotel Bar was on his fifth drink! I had no intention of monitoring him but by the time the waiter approached him thrice in twenty minutes, I sort of took an interest.
He was a tall fellow, bespectacled and perhaps a college Professor. He had on black trousers, a pink shirt and a brown jacket. His tie was loose around his neck and his hair needed some attention. Read more

(You may want to read the first part of this article for a better understanding)
Funke was quiet for a while.
‘Let me be honest’, she began finally ‘I sort of noticed that things seemed a bit cold between you and your husband a few weeks after we came back to Nigeria. I was concerned but I didn’t want to pry’.
Laide gave a harsh laugh, ‘Things are frozen, not cold. It all started about two years ago when the kids got into college. All of a sudden there we were, with all the time in the world, no kids to talk to or play with or get distracted by. We got rather quiet! It was then I began to realize that we really didn’t have much in common’. Read more
