WOMEN AND SUPPORT SYSTEM
It is not good that a woman should be alone,I will make her a support system.
To be a woman ordinarily is an herculean task. The peculiarity of a woman's make-up demands extra help because she was made to be a helpmeet for a man as that was the original plan by the Creator,meaning ,she has so much on her hands and desk. This age and time makes her task a little more demanding considering the world economy and many other things.
That a woman is married to a man,she needs a support system,how much more when she starts engaging in baby making. Being married alone for a woman is hardwork especially in places like Africa as demands range from house chores to care for the man(especially if the man is the type that cannot even help wash his own tea cup),to in-law palaver especially if the babies don't start pouring in immediately. (Now,the demand is, the lady must be pregnant first before payment of bride price. Wahala).
It is tougher for the woman,if she is now a financial contributor or even has a better paying job(career wife and mum at the same time?).A lot of times,people around are headaches and reasons for stress(stressors). With so much terrible in-laws and inconsiderate or irresponsible spouses,some, have achieved heaven or hell prematurely and some children,orphaned. Wisdom is applicable to direct.
When the society and people around stigmatises women who had caesarean operation during birth delivery and they say our foremothers had their home managements with no house helps while their husbands crossed their legs and enjoyed their meals(times have changed please).Some women are actually macho women though,I don't know how they do it and where they pick their strength from as they are seen having three children within a space of four years and some of them through C.S,yet with inconsiderate spouses(who ensures they resume copulation and normal duties less than six weeks after childbirth with no time to heal) and no reliable support system. One even hears some women preach saying the sound doctrine of our assembly says Family planning is not Biblical and should not be considered. At the end of it all,realisation is late.
I do not advocate that women should disrespect their husbands or dishonour them but both parties should see to ensure that they are the support system of each other and in the event that one may not be reliably available for home management and help,services of reliable support system should be jointly welcomed and agreed for every member of the home to have a good life.
It should be Umntu Ngumntu Uganbantu. Ubuntu, meaning I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE,we are because you are and since you are,definitely i am,together everyone achieves more&Stays Alive.
