Enough of the thoughts mary said to herself maybe it was time to face her fears and finally have to address the marriage talk between she and her mother, maybe she has to finally fault her's claim that her job has been holding her down from having a man in her life beacause she has been waiting for this conversion too to also make her mom realize she could get a single christain from outside the family church a sudden chill came upon her beacause she somehow knew she was ready to stop deceiving herself about buying into her mother's ideology, infact am ready for this unavoidable visit oh am so ready for mum she said to herself.
By the time mary properly entered the house properly her mum had already called out her name to be sure she was the person that entered the house and the funny part was that it was at that point mary finally came to the reality that her mother was actually in the house, buh her mind was made up as she was more than ready on seeing her mum they hugged each other as they exchanged pleasantries and worked on the meal together, soon dinner was ready and by that time they had both freshened up and took to enjoying their meal as they talked about every other thing asides the sacred topic, when dinner was almost over Mary's mother told her they had to talk mary smiled as she had been waiting for that conversation.
Mary, her mother started by calling out her name, I purposely came on a weekend so that even if we finish this discussion tonight we would still have two more days to go because you don't work on weekends, maybe I have never really asked you what the problem is why u don't want me hold your children before I die eh Mary, if I tell you to come to church u will say you are an adult and can worship on your own meanwhile Yetunde and your other friends still come to the family church and as you correctly know Ella worshipped and married in the family church like wise Bisi and Chinenye and as you rightly know Yetunde is preparing for her wedding, they are also enjoying their marriages because their husbands are Christians , so what is your problem?
Mother first of all you don't live with them in their houses so cant tell whether they are enjoying their marriages, Mother u knowing a man in church most times does not even really guarantee you that he is child of God Mother most people go to church but their hearts are so far from God, ever wondered why Bisi keeps having miscarriages, well domestic violence heavy drinking from husband yet in church he is seen as a good brother , Ella is always on dark shades because of the same domestic violence they were made to believe that worshipping in same church from childhood guaranteed them a happy home as man and wife they did not bother to properly get in good courtship, they did not study each other really good and am also sure that they also took prayers for granted they did not bother about compatibility, Mother the truth is that most times some things can even be sorted out by common sense buh they were so blind about it, Then about me mother work is not the reason am still single it is you I don't buy the idea marrying in the family church am not saying there are no good men there that is not just what I want God knows that , Mother just allow me make this decision it is a life time thing plus am the person in it and I know what I want.................
