LIKE MARRIAGE LIKE FOOTBALL (pt 4)

KICK OFF

In football, the season starts off with a 90minutes match, officiated by a referee, two assistants referred to as linesmen, and a fourth official who is in charge of signaling extra time and also to replace the referee incase of injury or absence. The match itself is played by two teams with eleven players on each side with three substitutions allowed each while the home and away fans cheer away in the stands. In marriage, the kickoff is referred to as the “happy hour” because you don’t need 22players with a referee and assistants to have a good game. All you need a quality king size bed maybe music if you like because sometimes your screams maybe louder than that of some forty thousand fans. Guess I have got some married people down memory lane, perhaps single people may wonder how special the marriage kickoff is, here is a clue, you may never know until you are married and for the right reasons too. So, step up your scouting skills and get yourself a Messi or Ronaldo then the world will truly be at your feet. 

A physically beautiful wife with the right curves and sweet complexion puts a huge smile on the husbands face publicly even if they had fought the night before a morning function but that’s not all the qualities you should look out for in a woman because character makes a woman more pretty than her physical state. Falcons star Perpetual Nwaokocha Nigeria’s female football legend is never the prettiest but her industry on the field of play gives joy to the hearts of many, her colleague Mercy Akide also Nigeria’s female football legend married to a respected sports journalist Mr Colin Udoh is a great woman who looks after her family even with her tight schedules and busy work load yet Burkina faso’s striker Mr “ugly”Bance may be finer than her. Let’s pause for a moment and reflect on the type of wife we want. Now answer these questions: What type of woman do I want for a wife? How do I want my wife to look? How do I want my wife to relate with me? Can I be responsible enough for her? While you ponder on that, I’ll love to tell you that the answers are right before you. 

Your type of woman must match your principles and background, the way she looks must be a reflection of you but be careful not to be insensitive to her needs, communications is always the most important part of couple’s relationship because it enhances understanding and believe, and her counting on you gives her a sense of security.
