Ngozi got married to her heartthrob Chijioke a little over 10 years ago. Ngozi was in her twenties and fresh out of school when she got married. A 6ft tall, light skinned, full chested lady with the hips of a goddess. Every man wanted a piece of Ngozi but Chijioke’s charm, intellect and gentility made sure he not only got a piece of her, he had the whole damn cake to himself. After four adorable kids, Ngozi’s once mermaid-like body has taken a pounding. Chijioke couldn’t understand why his wife’s once smooth skin is riddled with stretch marks and her once flat tummy is big and plumpy. He takes it out on her often branding her lazy concerning her looks and wishes she put in more effort to look as flawless as she once was.
Guess he never heard the saying; women always think men will change but they don’t men think women won’t change but they do.
Ladies, you are not capable of changing any man, only God can undertake and successfully complete that task.
Men, hoping your woman never changes is like hoping you live forever.
But what ever you do, always remember the real tragedy about marriage:
Women always think men will change but they don’t.
Men think women won’t change but they do.
Believe. Aspire. Experience.
