OVER 45YEARS MARRIED AND STILL VERY MUCH IN LOVE
- Patti
Stephen Komlosy and me on our in
My heart skips a beat when I look at this and I bless my God, who brought this perfect Prince of a man into my life over 45years ago.
Believe me, it was not a smooth ride. There is no such thing as a free lunch or easy ride in life. There were children, family, media nastiness and the world to battle through. We went through it all and came out more in love than ever.
In the mid and early our union was not so welcomed. All I knew was I had met the man with the exact character I had always prayed for as a child, the only difference is that he was not Nigerian.
All praise to God, who knows colour has nothing to do with the spirit, soul or heart.
When my (not so easy) mother gave her blessing in these prophetic words "Yours will be the best marriage......" no amount of nastiness, bitching nor scheming from outside forces could interfere with our love and dedication to each other. Now I know the more they tried the more they made our love stronger.
His love for his children was the big factor too, for me. And then when we received a Special Dispensation from His Holiness Pope (Saint) John Paul ll to get married in the Catholic Church, we were fully united in body, mind and spirit.
As for money, we have had lots of it, lost it, built it up again, lost it and built it up again. I have never and would not compromise my marriage, husband, family, happiness or integrity for money or career. Money and career come and go but a great marriage and family is priceless and to be treasured above all.
As a wife, a mother and grandmother I am no pushover, but a fierce defender of my family. Maybe that's why my Stephen comes out as the star of my autobiography alongside my wonderful Mother.
It can only be God. I am blessed.
