In Love with a Foe

In Love with a Foe

As everyone sets out in the course of life, no one seems to have a handbook on whom to meet as a life-partner. Love meets everyone at the pathway of life. The course of love takes a different bearing. Its dimension is certainly not definitive. Falling in love requires certain principles. Nonetheless, principles have failed on the floor of human unpredictability. Many have made what they call mistakes. While some live with their mistakes,others go down the grave with their mistakes hanging vehemently on their necks.

Oftentimes has it been said that one with bad character may remain bad or even become worse throughout one’s lifetime. Therefore, charging a man or a woman requires a lot of energy and conscious efforts. And because every confession of love doesn’t start with fisticuffs, it is amazing how love become absolute hatred.

Having counseled for some years now, I have had cause to run for my life after failed attempts to settle a fight turned into a fierce fight between men and their wives. At last, when they came back to me for advice, I recommended divorce. Yes, it is better than death. I say so because living with a foe is quite dangerous. Someone may ask, Moses, why do you want them to divorce? The answer is simple. It is better to separate them from each other than to have them kill themselves—the man has a chance of stabbing the woman to death; the woman may poison her husband’s meal.
An enemy in love is a pathway to death. Domestic violence is a handy tool for domestic deaths. The struggle for supremacy in families becomes fiercer when one marries an uncompromising enemy. The house is often hot.

 Majorly,parenting and upbringing are the  causes of domestic violence. Yes, I know you may ask why. It is only natural for a child to do what he sees his parents do. Most children don’t just talk without using their hands. Yes, they took after their warring parents. In fact, if they want to say "stop talking", before they say “stop”, they’ve dealt a slap on the recipient's face.



Speaking of running away for my life, a woman once invited me to settle the dispute between she and her husband. On arriving their home, before I could ask them to narrate their stories, an argument ensued. And what followed were broken bottles. I ran away. A person who uses weapons before an argument ensues should be stayed away from completely. There is no need trying to make it work. Quit the marriage, take your time and correct your mistake. This is absolutely recommended.
