CHURCH, MARRIAGE AND THE SINGLE CHRISTAIN

         

               As mary got home from work she sensed that someone was already in her apartment and her suspicion was further confirmed when her nose caught the tasty aroma coming from kitchen, damm she could tell her mother was around and a thousand and one thoughts raced through her head at once maybe she should be happy that she was with her mum whom she had not seen in a while or she should be happy about  having company as she sometimes felt lonely when she was home after work, then she suddenly remembered how perfect her mother's visit would have been if it was during the early days of the week like a Monday or a Tuesday because her visits are never more than 3days where she could conveniently escape the sacred marriage discussion by saying they would talk in the morning knowing deep down in her heart that she would either sneak out of the house or just run off to the office  as she has said she would only stay with her for more than three days until mary got  in to her husbands house but Mary's frustration right now is the fact that this particular visit was on a Friday and she would have no excuse to give when her mum who would want to have that conversation she was always scared of because it was a weekend, she no office to run to plus she also had no early day start off .

                 For mary she was already getting frustrated because the good men were no where in sight coupled with fact that her mother was on her neck constantly reminding mary of her age plus the fact that she is insisting that mary must marry from the family church because that way she would be sure of the person's Christian faith  but mary does not share in that light mary believes that she can still get a true child of God outside the family church but Mary's love for her mother would not let her protest her mother's stand thus making it more difficult to even want to have the sacred marriage discussion.

              But Mary's mother would not stop talking and telling mary how she had already birthed all her children at Mary's age, adding that Mary's  working too hard is the reason why mary is still single and unable to give her grand children. but mary knew that work was not the reason she was still single.......
