From Mother To Daughter On The Eve Of Her Traditional Marriage

This Post is for BEST COMMENTER CONTEST

A piece of advise a Mother gave to her daughter on the eve of her traditional marriage

My daughter,you are now a wife and soon you'll be become a mother too. God bear

me witness that I taught you how to cook and do other household chores. 

I taught you to respect men and to explain your anger when necessary but if you do

otherwise, I know you,not as a daughter but as my fellow woman.

My daughter,you see this your husband? He is a gentleman but don't take advantage of that. 

Don't bring out the beast in him. 

My daughter,you see this mark on my forehead? Your father gave it to me. He tolerated me every time

but on that day,He came unexpectedly. It wasn't his intention but i dared him and he hit me just once

My daughter,Men hate it when you use the words "YOU CAN'T DO IT".He sure can do more than but

he's just protecting you from harm.

My daughter,whenever there is an argument or misunderstanding,try drinking water. You can't talk when you have water in your mouth.

Now,you have two families. You are very lucky. Tolerate and appreciate them just as you did

here in our home.

Learn to welcome other people's kids and soon,children will surround your table with love. 

You see that my big pot? I bought it when i still had no child but i always cooked with

it to feed those children who had nothing to eat.

Learn to show hospitality.

Welcome a visitor and at least,offer a glass of water. Don't discriminate. 

Don't shatter your husband's family. instead, bring them together.

Learn to appreciate little efforts and soon, they'll learn to do more.

Today,you are wearing your traditional marriage costume and you

look so beautiful in it but there is still another gown you need to wear. That is the

MATERNITY gown. I wore it and you shall wear your's too.

When you have a misunderstanding ,don't come back here. Sort things out and build a happy home.

I built mine and your father enjoyed me.

Men like food. They like both the KITCHEN food and the BEDROOM food. 

Don't deny him any of the food

If you do all these and have Christ as the BedRock of your Home, you shall surely have a successful marriage, just as I have had

God bless you my daughter
