THE PRIDE OF A WOMAN

THE PRIDE OF A WOMAN

Yesterday, two ladies gave me a lift from the church I attended. They were already having a conversation about how men are the same and will never change. Feeling like I had to listen to another talk about how men are scums, I just buried my head in my phone but I could not concentrate on my phone as their conversation got interesting. From what they were saying I could tell one was married and the other one was single.
The married one began to say that in as much as people feel the pride of a woman is marriage, these days she always advises young ladies who are not married to enjoy their lives now that they are single because the moment they get married, you do not own yourself anymore rather your husband owns you. I actually found that saying very strange though, but
what she said after that was what I found even stranger.
The Lady went on about a friend of hers who is married now, but can no longer fast the way she wants too because her husband always likes to have morning food every Monday morning and he must take it or there would be a problem.
At first, I thought it was about cooking a meal for him so maybe she gets tempted to eat on Mondays and it impedes her fasting. Little did I know that the food in question here was SEX and the poor lady according to her has no other choice but to present herself as a worthy meal for her dear husband.

The conversation got me wondering if this is what people mean when they say “the pride of a woman is marriage”. I guess it means when a woman gets married she loses her voice like one of the properties owned by her dear husband? 

The reason why married women lack the ability to take control of their lives in marriage, put their foot down on what they want seems very confusing to me. 
It is pathetic how most married women like to die in silence because society has brainwashed them into believing that marriage is their pride and the joy of every woman is her home. What is wrong with telling your husband that you do not want to have sex because you have some commitment you need to uphold at that point?

Being married does not mean you have to lose your self-worth and become someone's piece of furniture to be dealt with the way and manner they seem pleased. It is an avenue to give life and not sit and watch life taken away from you. 
You don’t discard ‘YOU’ before you say ‘I DO’ but you enhance that ‘YOU’ after you said ‘I DP’. 
What that means is this, if your individual life becomes worst after you take the vow then you are better off being single. 
Do not let the low expectations of society become the yardstick you use in measuring your life's worth.

A woman's pride has nothing to do with marriage, her pride is in her happiness whether single or married, her pride is her joy, her ability to love and be loved, her pride is to be appreciated not because she is a man's wife but because she is a WOMAN. 
For those that say her place is in the kitchen, your topic is for another day.
