Marriage Night ๐คต๐ฐ must read!!
It was my wedding night. I was so tired, I needed a bath and a rest. We had danced so much my back was aching.
My husband was beginning to have funny ideas. He was beaming like a new born baby.
Well, I wouldn't blame him; any man in his position would not joke with this night because I was a warrior during our courtship".
No... no hugging, no pecking, no holding, no touching, no tapping current, no weather for two, Sexual purity till my marriage was top on my list.
The Knock came. I was thinking, half past eleven (11:30pm). Is that room service, I wondered. Then, with eyes popping. I heard my mother in-law's iron like voice: "Tise, Micheal, open the door". Micheal jumped up from the bed, rushed to the door and opened it for his mum. My Mother in-law walked in, sat down majestically and asked us to sit down too.
"Tise, I don't know if anyone ever told you? There is a curse on my husband's family line.
The men in their family don't prosper, their wives are the ones who work, and provide for their families.
This is because, according to the story that I was told, one of their forefathers killed the only son of a great herbalist and the herbalist placed a curse on every son in their lineage, that their hands will never produce nor bring forth anything good. Also, their sons must always lose a son amongst their children"
I watched in amazement as my mother in-law kept telling the story. Then, she concluded by saying: "In essence, I have just come to let you know that your marriage is not a land of funs but of war"
Why? Why didn't she tell me this before now?
Well, in order not to waste her time, I also gave her my history. I said,
"Mum, I am sorry, I also did not tell you this before now. I came from a family that fights for those we love. My Father (Jesus Christ) actually died while trying to save His people. My family line does not operate under curses because we are operating under a covenant of blessings - John 1:1
