Marriage
I may have talked about this topic before, but you will agree with me that it one that is infinite. People are marrying everyday and divorcing everyday and havind side kicks like it’s a rat race.
So now, some celebrity (they call her a socialite), was trending on twitter yesterday. Apparently, she filed for divorce, just 72 days after a grand wedding that cost millions – if not billions, of dollars (billions must be in Kenya Shillings – God, si they should have given me a portion so I could buy me a piece of land and a car for ease of commuting).
Anywayz…now, this ins,tituion of marriage. You will all agree with me that it is DEAD, if not on its death bed already.
Just yesterday on the local news, some lady was filing for divorce from her bishop husband (YES! Men of the cloth also get overwhelmed by other women apart from the ones they marry). As the story is, he has moved in with another woman. It turns out actually, it’s one of the new age televangelists. That guy is a from rags-to-riches kinda story. From dotting white suits, talons and white sharp shooters…I hear the nigga got a PRADO…his dress sense has also improved. Preachermen are a no-go zone gals. That tithe you be eating with him gon follow you around like your shadow.
Wonders will never cease. If it was the case of man eating a dog, I’d have made a follow-up on the story, but since it’s the usual, we shall just continue chewing gum and talking about the weather, the recession and climate change.
In my mid and late 20s, my mama NEVER approved of any guy I dated. Now in my mid 30s heading on 50, she is worried that how come none of her daughters is anywhere close to being married. She is worried, but never really wants to show it. I wonder sometimes.
That authoritative nature put me off long term relationships – because I was made to believe then, as it is actually happening now (and even before) that men are slippery.
But like I say up in here…with the numerous horror stories I continue to hear…of people in marriage…I think I shall take a chill pill for the time being.
I know time and tide waits for no man – but there’s a saying in Swahili that goes – ‘Usikimbilie maisha’ – ‘Don’t rush life’ – in fact, Tupac and Keisha Cole have a song to that effect.
Wow!
Through the years, I have learned that marriage only opens your husband (read man or live-in man friend), to a host of other women out there, single or married themselves.
Before you stone me like they stoned Peter, look around. What do you see? What do you hear on morning radio? What do you read in newspaper columns?
