MMP

No, I don’t love him sir. I replied.

Pastor sighed and asked me. What do you feel for him?

I replied; sir I can’t love him again because he has hurt me and my love had died.

I like him just as I like my next neighbor.

Pastor smiled and said; Sister Joy, it is like a prison to plan to live with a man you don’t love.

You cannot live with a man you don’t love. You cannot divorce this man. God hates divorce and anything God hates is a sin. Living with a man you don’t love is a lifelong prison sentence.

Do you want to be in a lifelong prison sentence of unhappiness…?

I didn’t answer, I was just looking.

Do you want to become a divorcee or want to have a broken home?

I didn’t answer, I was just staring at my fingers.

“Sister Joy”, Pastor called me.

“Yes sir” and I started crying.

Pastor’s wife spoke from behind me. I didn’t know when she came in. She said,

Love does not die, love is everlasting. The day Pastor started loving me again, I knew.

I could see it in his eyes

. I could hear it in his voice. I could see it in his actions. I knew he loves me again and I started working on reciprocating that love.

I tested him over and over again to be sure that he truly loves me. Then I could not find any fault in him. I saw myself as the problem.

I became angry with him that he is now good and I am the problem. Finally, I accepted his love and for over nine years, that love has conquered me.

Your husband can only be won with love. Not just likeness. Not just faking it.

Only true love matters.

At this time, Pastor’s wife was holding me close to herself. I was sobbing.

She turned to her husband and called him.

My Heartbeat!

He answered; Yes, My Rose!

Sister Joy needs ten days of Lovaquine Injection.

He nodded and replied..

Yes, she is seriously infected with Marital Malaria Parasite. “MMP”.

My look to her was quizzical. Which one be MMP again? Trust me I asked…

Haba, which one is malaria inside marriage again.

Pastor explained; As you know that mosquitoes spread the malaria parasite. In marriage, wrong information spread marital parasite.

You have been informed that no marriage can be truly happy and you have believed it. Lies have been said that all men are cheats so you expect it or you dread it.

You have believed more in the weaknesses of your spouse than in the good in them.

Stories you read about broken homes stick more in your head than the stories about nice marriages.

Symptoms of MMP are,

Headache: Most discussions with your spouse gives you headache. You prefer not to talk many times.

High temperature: Your blood boils at weaknesses seen as errors in your partner.

Vomiting: You vomit very hurtful and abusive words when you argue.

Sweating: Your quarrels are making you lose resources, joy and money.

If this Marital Malaria is not treated it will enter high Fever stage and the next symptoms of high fever are;

Hallucination: You begin to see and hear wrongly. Every step your partner takes, have no meaning to you. You see wrong motive in everything they do.

Fainting: You suddenly feel tired of your spouse and this makes you to get out of the house wishing to break the marriage.

If this is not treated, it could damage the marriage and lead to Marital Immune Deficiency Syndrome (MIDS) which is equivalent to AIDS. Which can lead to death of both the marriage and the partners.

Ahhh, marriage has aids again? I asked in tears, my mouth can’t just keep quiet.

Yes. Anyone who is divorced is suffering from Marital Aids called Marital Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

At this stage no matter what the partners does, they are no longer in love. The marriage is starved of the main reason for its existence in the first place, which is love.

Have you not read that love covers all sins? Where there is no more love, all sins are magnified……

Divorce happens because both partners have deprived their marriage of the adequate level of love required to keep it alive.

Pastor stopped talking.

The Pastor’s wife looked at me and said. “My darling, you have been properly diagnosed by the love doctor, my husband”.

You will be treated with ten days of injection, three times daily. This may sound confusing to you, but as soon as you get the first injection, you will understand.

I never knew there were medical terms for my marital woes.

I didn’t know there are injections for people like me.

But if I can get cured and have a sweet marriage like my Pastor’s, then I will be very glad….

Lovaquine Injection.

What does it look like?

Will it be painful?

I am waiting to find out.

Aren’t you curious too?
