And when it came time for him to give his speech, he looked into her eyes and said these six words "I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. "
Hello and thank you once again for stopping by Heaven, Here We Come :). Hope you had an amazing week and getting ready for an amazing weekend ahead. May the beautiful favor of God through the grace of his Son Jesus Christ continue to be evident in our lives.
Now I've attended quite a few wedding ceremonies in my lifetime, but I'll never forget the one I attended in the Summer of 2006 Between Mr. & Mrs. N&Y O. Classy, beautiful, great food, great music and wonderful guests. But what made it memorable for me were the words the groom said to his beautiful bride when it came time to give his speech. He looked at her with extreme admiration and humility and simply said "I Will Take Care of you." What a smart man. I'll like to make it emphatically clear that the duty of any Man lucky enough to be blessed with a Wife is for him to take care of her. I tell you, the return on investment is immeasurable. Any man not ready to take on this responsibility should not even bother getting married because hell is what awaits him. On the flip side, it is the duty of that woman to appreciate the efforts of her Man. This only encourages the Man to want to do more. I saw this system of care/appreciation work for my parents who remained married for 30+ years until my mum's passing in 2006. My mum was my dad's number one priority, even over us his kids. My mom, ever the smart woman she was made sure she never betrayed my dad's attitude towards her by making him feel very appreciated. So women, if you are blessed with a man who is willing to take care of you and make you his priority, please reciprocate the gesture with sheer appreciation. Otherwise, you might end up alone and age fast.
I'm always so glad when I occasionally see the couple in the said wedding. Its quite evident that not only has the groom lived up to his words, but the bride is equally playing her part by appreciating him. I have no doubt that they are extremely happy in their union as man and wife. I'm also glad to report that they have since been blessed with a beautiful daughter, who some day will also meet a man that will also look into her eyes and emphatically say "I Will Take Care of You" :)
For tips and advice on how to take good care of your woman and make sure she's your #1 priority, please check back in the very near future as I lay it all out. As always, may the goodness of God continue to abide with us all. Until next time...

P.S
One of the greatest (if not the greatest) musicians of our time, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey sings about this in one of his many hits titled "Better Life for Women." He sings in broken English "if you marry a wife, make you treat am better o, if you treat am better o, it go better for you"
Nuff Said ;)
