Hello everyone, It is yet another amazing moment to participate in this engagement challenge, the last week of season 7 SEC has created a lot of impact on steemians life in different ways it is also a great opportunity for me to rap it up with the most interesting topic organize by Steem Venezuela Community titled 'Life Story'. I will be pleased to share with you a story with a lesson to learn.
My story is going to be impactful to women and men who are of age and ready to get married, I know the long-time decision we make as an adult is our decision to marry, the partner we marry will determine our everlasting joy or sorrows. But What are the parameters we use to decide on our life partner? What influences us to rush into marriage? Is it better to be single and be happy or to be married and be forever sad? These, among others, are critical questions that are very difficult for an adult to get right when the time comes.
I shall be telling you a true life Story of my Big aunty Mrs. Clara Colunbus, she made the wrong decision when she was choosing a life partner, and she every day hopes time can rewind so that she can correct her errors. I assure you that you will like to hear about aunty Clara, come with me as I share her impactful but sad story with you.
Mrs. Clara was born into a family of Columbus Johnson in the year 1981, she holds several certifications but she is currently a relationship therapist and a medical doctor in Taraba state the northern part of Nigeria.
One gift that God has given Aunty Clara is that she is so beautiful and good looking, she captures the attention of many men when she walks and passes, and she has a good voice and an attractive smile. She is so intelligent and also very respectful and amazing being. Bianka is the only daughter of her parent and she had a good life and everything she needed as a woman.
I got to know much about my aunty because I stayed with her when she was sick for 3 months, e was so close that she told me more than I should know as a daughter. I learn a lot from my aunty and her life experience.
Aunty Clara Fall in Love with Jimmy during her senior secondary school, they started dating as teenagers and grow up genuinely loving each other. Jimmy was also a handsome man and intelligent, very simple person, understanding respectful, and fun to be with. Uncle Jimmy always makes my aunty smile.
Jimmy was not from a too-wealthy family and life was not that easy for him, but he work hard to support himself and his parent. Jimmy was the best student while in secondary school and everybody including my aunty was proud of him.
Fortunately, the same University my Aunty applied to was the same school to which Jimmy Got a scholarship. Jimmy studied Mass Communication while Aunty Clara studies medicine and surgery. Aunty Clara and Jimmy were just like couples and they understood each other very well. They both graduated from the university with good results.
After the university, Aunty Clara was pressured by her parent to get married and settle down. No doubt, aunty Clara desired to marry the love of her life Jimmy, and that is where the issue started.
Jimmy has no job and enough money to settle down and aunty Clara's parents insist she must not get married to a low Life and non-established man. Aunty Clara keeps on holding on to Jimmy and praying things will get better so that they can get married because the pressure was so much on her. One year come and go, and Uncle Jimmy still looking for a job.
During that period, Abiola who was a son to a very close family friend came into the picture. He was rich and well-to-do, and when he came, they became friends with Aunty Clara and he began to love her. When he tells aunty Clara at first she refused his proposal and still sticks to Jimmy.
Along the line, aunty Clara had a professional course she want to go and study in Ethiopia for 4 months, and uncle Abiola gave her his apartment close to where she is going in Ethiopia. A month later he went to Ethiopia and met her and they stayed for the remaining 3 months. Coming to Nigeria uncle Abiola insisted he will get married to aunty Clara. He put pressure and everyone to persuade aunty Clara to marry Abiola. Jimmy at this point is still struggling to be established.
My aunty's letter agrees to get married to Abiola, she shattered her 14 years of relationship with Jimmy for Abiola whom she met for just 8 months. She letter agrees to marry Abiola out of pressure and fear of time. Jimmy was so hurt and he use the little money he save and travel to London to go and start a life there.
After the wedding, that was when aunty Clara began to see the true nature of who she married, Abiola is a womanizer and also a hurt-tempered person, 8 months was not enough for my Aunty to detect. Two hurt-tempered people got married and everyone want to be in command.
Her marriage was hell and full of nagging every day and troubles. They had no child for 3 years because of a lack of understanding and connection between them. At last, my aunty took in and become pregnant, on the 6th month of her pregnancy, they had a misunderstanding with her husband, he hit her, and she bleeds, before she will be rushed to the hospital she lost her child and the miscarriage affected her womb such that she can not get pregnant again. She cried and cried and was in pain.
A few months later Abiola ran and travel back to Ethiopia, leaving her alone with no womb to conceive, sorrow, pains, and regrets. To cut the long story short, news later reach her that Abiola was caught in a drug deal and was sentenced to prison. My aunty Promised not to get married again because her life is worthless, and to date, my aunty has not remarried again.
Conclusion and Lesson to learned.
Hmmm. What a sad story, is Better late than to be late, the decision to choose a life partner is crucial. My aunty missed it and she is forever regretting it.
When it comes to crucial decisions such as choosing life partners, it is important we stand on our decision and not allow influence or pressure to control our decision, I learn to know what I want and stick to what I want with patience and support.
I come to believe The parable that says "The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know." do not be overwhelmed by what you see or material things but heart speaking is very important in choosing a life partner.
I come to discover also that we should know our spouse's temper, it will be safe if it is balanced. Though there are individual differences it is important we know the spouse's temper rate while dating.

Saludos amiga
Lei tu historia y que triste para tu tia, pero tienes razon debemos conocer muy bien a la persona con la que queremos casarnos. Soy de las que piensa que es mejor estar soltera y feliz que triste como tu tia. Nadie nos debe presionar para casarnos y tener hijos. Eso solo lo decidimos nosotros.
Me encanto tu historia, saludos éxitos en la dinámica.

Hi @yakspeace
Your aunt's experience leaves many lessons to be learned.
I'm sorry for what happened to her.
What you say is true, I think it is very important to know the person with whom you decide to form a couple and family, and make that decision calmly, and without pressure.
Thank you for participating in the contest, greetings and blessings.

I have learned so much from your story. Marriage is not something we should quickly say yes. We have to pray over it before saying yes if not it wouldn't be funny. Good luck to you.

Life it's self is not easy to navigate through along not to talk about adding someone who's toxic it, in other words we should learn to be contented with what we have. Again and again it has always been said all that glitters are not gold and our parents shouldn't force our wards to things out of their will cos it always come back to hunt them. It better single and happy than been married without happiness 👨👩👦👦👨👩👦👦
