Enjoy Your Own Wife Only by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

God almighty will not compromise his stand on truth and falsehood, Godly behavior, and satanic influences. Respectively each of them attracts rewards and consequences of punishment.

Adultery, therefore, becomes the most hated act condemnable by society and almighty Allah.

Unfortunately, a very high percentage of mankind, prefer to live promiscuous lives, making the environment to be charged with the menace of torments and unpleasantries mainly because they are not scriptural. The following chapters and verses of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran are vital food for thought.

The Holy Bible, Proverbs 5: 15-20 refers, ''15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?''

To be able to achieve successfully the above admonition and live a Godly life, the Holy Quran admonishes all believers in Islam who are qualified to be called Muslims in 4 : 3, '' If you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans(women considered to be of low class). Marry women of your choice, 2, 3 or 4; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only ONE or that which your right hand possesses (your heart's desire). That would be more suitable to prevent you from injustice.''

Human failure to follow the above injunctions has led to serious cases of separation, neglect, and the most distasteful act before God-divorce. This has led to the consequence of poor child-rearing, making the homes produce problem children. We must all, therefore, be conscious of the need to respect the sacredness of marriage institutions as established by the almighty God, for mankind to be able to produce and establish a virile nation.

The Holy Quran 30: 21 refers for all to be able to live by the fear of God for exemplary lifestyles bequeathable to posterity.

''And among the signs is this that He created for you maids from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquility with them and He has put love and mercy between your hearts: verily in that are signs for those who reflect.''

If we are able to live by the divine codes, most especially on these injunctions that admonish that we should live decently, marriages would be saved and child-rearing would be successful to produce better generations that would be able to develop rightly, building on the solid foundation of today. Enjoy your own wife only.
