I was in the sitting room playing with with my lovely kids when I heard the incessant loud knocks on the door.

Definitely,I knew it wasn't my husband because he wouldn't be coming home that very day.
Mark my husband was an accountant in one famous bank in the country..
He went for a seminar that would last for a month.

I was left alone with my little children.In addition,I was also in the family way almost due for delivery.

Infact,my family was a very magnificent one that even outsiders never joke with.It was an exceptional one.

My handsome spouse and I have impacted so many people's lives..
In the actual sense,we were role models to many!

Every day was indeed our wedding day.
Every other couple dreamt to be like us.They hardly remember that for such to happen,there always used to be a lot of sacrifices,lots of discipline, responsibilities and undoubtedly battles too.

I had to check who was on the door.
Lo,it was sister Sarah my very bossom friend.

She stood there crying and moaning, her two palms covering her face as though she was shy.
Hurriedly,I took her inside and there, we started discussing after I had sent my kids to their room.

I am tired Juliet, indeed I am tired of this daunting marriage.To be honest, I am in dire need of divorce.
She said tearfully while I kept quiet to allow her vomit all her emotions.

I used to be so bewildered and down casted regarding God's silent so far concerning my innumerable tears.What haven't I done to get it right? What haven't I sacrificed to please that duff husband of mine?
Clement is so wicked and I know his intentions now because they are very explicit.
He wants to kill me and get another wife, Yes !
She sounded again, now with much grief.

All my children are at home now.They have failed to pay their school fees.My poor mother is in the village now almost at the point of death because she has been seriously sick.
I have lost my job too, yet Clement spends money the way he likes.
He makes a lot of money but I can't see any positive result of it all.

She paused now looking directly into my two eye balls.

Look Juliet, the palliative measure to end it all is to take leave that nincompo0p.I am fed up dear.

I took a deep breath and smiled.Having known that she would say no more, I had to talk to her.

Sarah, I wouldn't lie to you.You are really missing it.You are doing a very big mistake.
You have tremendous flaws and you fail to admit them.

I cleared my throat and continued..
Well, let me quickly tell you this..
Many years back, I was in this similar situation of yours.Mine was even more devastating.
My first son fell sick and was at the point of death.I had no one to help me out. I was left alone.

How ? Sarah cut me short looking very much confused.

With smiles, I waved my head and wiped the tears in my eyes.

I know you would be amazed.Moreover, I also know the thought going through your mind now..
Yes I was married but my husband wasn't helping matters at all.
He was a sheer womanizer.He would always get drunk and I would be called to come and take him home..
Sarah, it was indeed too much for me to bear.
I would cry but all will be to no avail..
My own parents forsook me because they never wanted me to marry Mark.My two brothers left me too.
Then Sarah was gradually feeling for me not minding her own case any more..

I suffered alone.Even when I had the opportunity to sin against God by falling into adultery, I declined and stood for God..
I ensured that I never lost my relationship with God.. He was the only one I had then, so why would I dare to lose him too? Ofcourse it is the worse !
I would always pray and fast until God showed up for me..
I paused and finally approached her.Holding her two hands, I began again.

Sarah, you have got a big role to play.Please do not give the enemy a chance into your home because it is very hazardous...
I was very grieved seeing how you have been addressing your own husband.That is so disrespectful !
As long as he lives, he is still above you and he deserves your respect..
Take it as a responsibility to stand in the gap regardless of what is happening.
Show the enemy that he is a sheer liar..
It is high time you stopped crying dear.
By God's special grace, my attitude brought salvation to my husband..
Now we are living happily, having countless mentees under us.

While I said those words, she started weeping.

I understand you dear.I really do but you have to take heart because soon, it will be over.

God I'm so sorry!
She abruptly exclaimed with great tears.

I promise you that from henceforth, I will be who you made me to be. Clement, I will always love you..I will always make sure I stand with you..I am very sorry my love..
I promise you God that I will not allow filthy words to run through my lips again.

These she continued to say while I rocked and encouraged her.
