CONTINUATION OF CHANGE IN MARRIAGE

.....Joy was happy for her friend but you know that kind of happiness(you wish you were in those shoes).Joy thought to herself,how can I even get pregnant when I've not even done it since I got married.They talked for a while,suddenly tears started dripping from Joy's face ruining her beautiful makeup."Can we go to your place,you don't look alright to me",Nina asked with a smile on her face.Sure,we can,Joy answered.the two ladies drove to Joy's house in their respective cars with Joy leading the way.
     Beautiful house,Nina said.Joy smiled at her and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water.Nina admired the wedding pictures neatly hung on the wall and told Joy that both of them are so lucky to have each other.she said that their love story is so unique ranging from the time they were students till how God made it possible for them to end as man and wife.Each word that sounds positive brought tears to Joy's eyes.But you won't blame her,she was the one in the shoes.Her marriage was ruined from the start.Nina drew closer to her,held her hands and asked to pray with her.She prayed"Lord,we ask your presence here now,please,take away these tears from your daughter's eyes.Bless her with peace that will  always make her have a smile on her face,Amen.
     Just after the prayers,Joy broke down in tears and opened up to Nina ,all that has been happening between her husband and herself.The coldness,the distance,the lack of communication,the lack of love and care,that has been existing since they got married.Nina calmed her down and gave her hope ,she told her that the solution is here but she will have to walk with her through it;Nina led her friend to Christ and afterwards started speaking softly to her saying"Dear,before you got married to Jude,he had expectations and one of the problems in marriage is Unmet expectations.Take your time and think.Get a book and a pen,list the things that attracted you to him.List the things that made him keep you for those long five years,then you would have taken a huge step in solving your problem.Then,list the things he saw in you that you are still doing and the things he saw in you that you have dropped..Everything you know he saw and loved In you before taking the step to marry you is everything you need to start becoming again.Everyman wants a loyal and an obedient wife.No man wants a woman who disrespects him.Joy nods with a smile and promised to be a better person and do all her friend advised.
          7 months later,put the lights off said Joy,no baby,I love them on,her husband replied.Okay honey,as you wish,Joy said with a smiles as she moves closer to her husband for a kiss on her 7 months pregnant bump."I love you",both whispered to each other.......
