When a young man wants to settle
down, which is to marry, he sees only being married to the lady he loves and
cherishes; but it goes beyond this. You have to see farther beyond just being
married, to being a family man. When what you see is only marriage to your wife,
your vision will not go beyond the two of you, but when you see family, it
brings the reality of what you are getting into clearer to you.
When you see family starting from
the point of dating to proposal, the changes that come with family will not
catch you by surprise. When you get married it will just be a matter of time,
you will become an expectant father. Ante-natal appointments will start, you
will also experience long sleepless nights when baby arrives. There will come a
time you will have to rock your baby to sleep, change diapers, and perceive
baby poo all over the house.
These experiences are best
enjoyed when you are young. I can remember when I had to give my first daughter
a bath when she was about two months old. I remember the countless sleepless
nights when I had to recall and sing all the nursery rhymes I know or heard
before just to get her to sleep for an hour or two and so much more.
These are the things we look at
in “so you are going to be family” to
help other young people get acquainted with the realities of being a family and
the hope that they can have peaceful, joyful, successful and prosperous homes.
This is a revolution. We hope to
turn around the various mindsets and myths our young people have held on for a
long time , handed down to them by the society that family is a waste of time. This
is not true. Being family is grand;
it has valuable lessons of life and it shapes in you a certain level of
responsibility and integrity.
