Give Thanks For What You Have
-Bisi Adewale
I can’t continue like this, do you want my lineage to perish? This is the last chance you have in my house before I consider getting another lady pregnant. How possible, four girls already? Can’t you just be like your Sister, she has three boys, not even a single girl for crying out loud. As a man I am trying my best to give you the best of me, Ola said shouting on his wife not minding her tears.
Lois, his wife was just there crying like a baby not knowing what to say to her dear husband of 9 years. With a faint voice, she said ”but Ola you know it is not my fault, I am not the one that gives male children. Why are you treating me this way, I thought you said you love me and nothing can separate us?”
Dear Listener, you need to give thanks for what God has given you. Whether boys or girls, some people have been married for decades and are still trusting God to give them just one child not minding the gender.
Your wife is not God that gives children and can I shock you, dear husband, you determine to a very large extent what the gender of your children will be.
You as the man is the one that has the XY chromosome while your wife has XX, it means you have the gene that codes for female and male while your wife only has female/female.
Live with your wife in true love, seek God’s face for intervention but never threaten her that you will marry another wife. Show your girls love so that even if you eventually have a boy, you will not treat the girls like a second class citizen in your home which may make them lose their self-esteem
Remember Philip in the Bible, just like you, he had four females who were virgins and prophesied.
If you train your girls well, they will be better placed in society and they will make you and your family proud.
Now, go ahead and apologize to your wife, show her love, appreciate her for carrying your beautiful seeds to full term, for going through labour and bringing forth triumphantly.
