HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A GATHERING where the State Governor wasn’t expected but somehow showed up? If he came in the middle of the programme, as soon as the leaders of the function are aware of his presence everything is paused for a while. Activity immediately shifts for the next ten minutes to announcing his presence and the entire gathering clap in excitement because of the presence of the Executive Governor, His Excellency Dr XYZ. Next, efforts are hurriedly made to create a special seat for him and his aides somewhere on the high table. And even though there was no place in the programme for the Governor’s brief speech, they would create one. He and his team would be warmly welcome and the Governor immediately titled The Distinguished Guest of Honour of the occasion. Thereafter, the event continues.
From the scenerio painted in the last paragraph, we can all see that when a highly respected dignitary comes to a place where his status is known, he is accorded due respect and all the honour that his position deserves.
In Marriage, you and your Spouse are each a highly respected dignitary. Why? Because each of you occupies a very important and key position in God’s first institution on Earth. The husband is a Patriarch and a head of a generation, even though he’s presently in his early thirties. Similarly, the wife is a Matriarch and builder of a dynasty, even though she’s just in her late twenties. When you and your Mate are sober enough to understand these truths and realities, you’ll be more responsible and more mature in how you treat each other. It will also reflect in how you talk to each other.
The day you got married, you entered into Life’s phase of honour because Marriage is honorable and those in it, the husband and wife are automatically distinguished and honourable. So it’s important that you both regard, respect and honour each other.
Finally, when you recognize a dignitary, your recognition instantly affects the way you conduct yourself towards them and in their presence.
For instance, if circumstances brought you and your Archbishop’s wife into the same seat row on the train, you’ll be of very good behaviour throughout the trip. Even if you hold a PhD in Gluttony, you’ll not eat any how while she’s with you. You’ll discipline and control your appetite until you’ve parted ways with her. In the same way, let the presence of your marriage partner in your life restrain you from all antisocial and deromanticizing behaviour that were formally part of your life. Be disciplined and mature and bestow honour on each other privately and publicly.
