After the Honeymoon
"Honey, are you sleeping? Please let's have romantic sex before you sleep" Solomon, Happiness' husband said to his wife.
"You have to wait, I'm very tired. Better still, leave it till tomorrow," Happiness, Solomon's wife replied.
"I know that you are tired because of office stress. But please give me a few minutes of your time. I miss you so much. And you know, it has been a long time since we had romantic sex" Solomon said.
"This is what I hate about you, you are always stubborn when it comes to sex. I said I'm tired, I'm stressed, wait or leave it till tomorrow. You have not even gotten any sex and you are talking about romantic sex. You and who has that time for kissing and romancing? I tell you the truth, I don't have that strength now" Happiness replied angrily.
"I admire your hard work and appreciate your effort in supporting our family. But I am a young man, I need my wife. And you know that you are the only woman in my life, and you don't expect me to go outside, or do you?" Solomon was interrupted.
"I am sick and tired of you telling me I don't expect you to go out. If you want to go out, then go out. After all, you will not be the first, and also get ready to get what happens to men going outside their homes. Who even knows if you have not started going out" Happiness raged.
"I am so sorry, I just needed your attention. Please, I just need my wife," Solomon said.
The Young and Vibrant Man
I met my husband in the Church, in the youth department when we were single. His zeal and love for God made me love him and pick interest in him. I started having a crush on him without him knowing about it. I love it whenever he was to preach or conduct prayers or the day he was the leader of the service in the youth ministry. This likeness and excitement in my heart whenever he is leading the service or preaching was not just because I loved and had a crush on him, but it was more of his excellent ways of doing them. He is such an eloquent speaker, he outlined his points and made his speech very easy to understand. Any time he preached, there are lots of creative teachings that must give one new idea, great relief, strength to carry on, and determination to make peace with God and man and live rightly.
I was very beautiful, and popular in the youth ministry, mostly because of my beauty. I was also committed to the Church activities, contributing to the youth ministry project, in fact, to so many youths, especially male youths, I was perfect in everything. So many of the male youths had a crush on me, and a lot of them approached me proposing to either go out with me, date me, or even have sex with me. But I turn them all down because I wasn't ready to marry and sex wasn't my thing. Of over one hundred and fifty youths in our youth department, of which over fifty were male, it was only about ten that didn't approach me for a romantic or intimate relationship. And of course, Solomon, my husband, was one of the ten men who did not approach me.
Another thing that made me love him more was that he cared nothing about fame, position dragging, or trying to impress the ministers and/or the leadership of the Church to obtain favor from them. He does everything absolutely for God to see him and bless him. He never involved himself with Church politics. When other youths are killing themselves, fighting and campaigning for one office, post or favor, or another, he will quietly exonerate himself. This attitude rather made him popular, and the ministers, the entire Church leadership and members loved and trusted him. Therefore, he was always given or voted into any office that requires a trusted, honest and selfless person in the youth department.
The Weak Point
As strong, committed, and spiritual as my husband, Solomon was as a vibrant youth, he had a weak point, which no one knew until later. His weak point was women and sex. He knew this and avoided women all through his youthful age to avoid falling into the act of fornication. Most people misunderstood him, especially ladies who wanted him, especially as a husband or had a crush on him. He was seen as anti-female. But I liked him more because I thought he wasn't the sex-loving type of person just like me. He was also not rich in terms of money, this was the reason most ladies in the Church never showed their interest in starting a relationship with him. Just like me, I never knew that he loved me too, not just because of my beauty, fame, or my parents' well-to-do, but because of my character and lifestyle. But he was afraid to approach me, he never knew if I would insult him, reject him or accept him. But after much self-struggle, he approached me at the end of the youth service program we had and proposed. I was very happy, but I did not show that to him, I rather told him, 'I will think about it, pray about it and get back to you.' He was the first person I have given such a hope-on answer. Yet, he was still afraid and was like, regretting approaching me.
After some time, I told him that I had prayed. Actually, I did pray about it and was convinced that he was my man. He was very happy to hear that, however, my parents, especially my dad, were not happy about my decision to marry him. Not that they hated him, no, they love him in everything, except his financial status. My parents thought he wanted to marry me because of their money. They assumed he would be a liability instead of an asset. When my father saw that my mind was made up about marrying him, he said to me, 'I will not stop you from marrying Solomon because I know that your mind is made up. However, you are on your own if you marry him,' he said.
Our Marriage and Honeymoon
After some challenges, we got married and it was a sweet one. Some years after our marriage, God bless my husband, he became the Assistant General Overseer of our Church after his theological school. He began to put his teachings and creative ideas into books and they sold out greatly. As against my parents' thoughts, my husband never became a liability to them. And even when we were struggling to survive, he never went to beg for anything from them to their surprise. However, the issue of sex nearly destroyed my home and turned every euphoric moment we had into dysphoria.
