Anthony decided to tell his mother he was ready to get married to Edna. He knew there was going to be an objection from his family members as Edna was not of the same tribe with him.

Each time Anthony visited his mother he bought a gift on his way and presented the gift to his mother as from Edna. On his way back he would do likewise by purchasing a gift on the way and presenting it back to Edna as from his mother. This he did on and on. When he felt the time was ripe he informed his mother and father that he was bringing his future wife to see them. His mother had no objection to this as she equally longed to meet this kind girl that has been sending her so many luxurious gifts.
The day came and from Edna’s entrance to Anthony’s family – home she received a warm welcome from Anthony’s parents. Both Edna and Anthony’s mum were thanking each other for the gifts they both received from each other. Anthony’s mum was so impressed with Edna and especially her manners. Edna’s tribe or culture was never a subject for consideration. She appreciates Edna and Edna loves her. Anthony watched in amazement. They are both happily married today.
So, next time you wonder how to approach or even handle a difficult situation with your parents or in-laws, remember wisdom is the principal thing.
Don’t leave it behind and rely on your own understanding!
God bless you.
