My wife is the first woman I loved. As a street boy while growing up, I did not have time for women. But she was the first person I could call my girlfriend. I met her through my cousin.
If a woman is not supposed to be your wife, the marriage will not last. But most people use their wives as girlfriends. Once money comes, that is when they would realise that a girl is not befitting any longer.
We started dating in 1993, but we had our court wedding in 2000 and I went to pay her bride price in 2001. At that time, there was no money. We were still dating when we had our first child, so I went to explain things to her father. And the man told me to come and do the right thing when I was ready.
However, just as I do not know how many years I have celebrated on stage, I do not also know my wedding anniversary. This is because I see marriage as an agreement between two parties. Marriage does not start on the day you go to the Church or Registry
