My dear Wife

Dave and Clara have been married for over nine years
without children. They stayed with each other and hoped that they will have a child before their 10th year of marriage because they were being persuaded by family and some friends to get a divorce but they couldn’t let go because of the love between them.

Months passed...by and while Dave was returning
from work one day, he saw his wife walking down
the road with a man and they looked happy.

Another evening, while Dave was coming back
from work, he saw the same man drop her off at
the house. Dave became angry and sad.

Two days later, after a hectic day at
work, Dave was taking water with a glass jug
when the phone rang. He picked it up and the
person said ‘hello dear, I’ll be coming to your house
this evening to see you as promised. I hope .....’’
and then Dave hung up the phone.

It was a male voice. He was sure the
person was the man he had seen with his wife. He
suddenly became shaky with this thought, ‘’Have i
lost my wife to another man?’’ At that point, the
glass jug fell from his hand and shattered into
pieces.

Then Clara came running into the room asking, ‘’Is
everything okay?’’ In anger he gave his wife a push
and she fell. She wasn’t moving or getting up.

Dave then realised that she fell where he broke
the glass jug and a large piece of glass has pierced
her. He felt her breath, pulse and heartbeat but there she lay lifeless. His wife was dead.

In total confusion, he saw an envelope in her hand. He took it, opened it and was shocked by its content. It was a letter and it reads:

‘’ My loving husband, words cannot express how I feel, so i had to write it down. I have been going to see a doctor for over a week and wanted to be sure before I give you the news. The doctor confirmed it that I am pregnant with a twin and our babies are due in 7 months from now.

The doctor also happen to be my long lost brother
whom I lost contact with after our marriage. He has promised to take care of me and our babies and give us the best without collecting a dime.

He also promised to have dinner with us today. Thanks to you for standing by me...... your loving wife.

As the letter fell from Dave’s hand, there was a knock at the door and it was the same man he had seen with his wife... and he said ......’’ hello Dave, I suppose am right, am Max, your wife’s brother.....’’And suddenly he noticed his sister in the pool of her blood .... he rushed her to his hospital but it was too late, his sister, Dave’s wife was gone and so were the twins..

LESSON:
In our relationships, which include our marriage, we should not be too quick in reacting when we haven’t
questioned our partner or spouse on what we saw
or heard about them.

Communication, Trust and Patience are rare gifts we
can bring to our relationship.

Not everything we see or hear or believe is right
about them.

And to every man or woman on dis platform, I pray that patience will have her perfect way in you and you will want nothing because patience is that great virtue you need to keep any relationship working.
