Story Of Mad Couple Married For 22 Years With 3 Children

A man, Olaide Olakiitan Oluwayemisi, has revealed how he was inspired by the love story of a mentally unstable couple who were married for 22 years with 3 children. Read the story in full below;
THE MAD COUPLE IN MY VILLAGEĀ 
Samade was a graduate of applied physics from Nigerian university, Nsukka before he ran mad. Samade was a fan of every villager for his abilities and talents. Abilities and talents madness could not snatch away from him. His dancing steps and melodious voice cannot be ignored by passersby. He sings and dances without musical instruments yet those who listened and watched him wished he was not mad for the ecstasy he gave to them.
His love life and marriage to Cynthia, another mad woman in the village was an envy of many couples. Samade and Cynthia had lived together in a self built self-contained under the popular bridge at Orile junction for 22 years. There were several times the villagers saw them quarreling but no one knew how they settled their differences.
Unfortunately Samade and Cynthia do not speak the same language. While Samade was from my village, Cynthia was from the Eastern part of the country. They lived together for 22 years without a long separation.
How they consented to live as couple and had 3 children is a riddle no one is yet to solve. They lived under same roof in quote, they had no source of income other than begging, they have no common sense, lacked counselors, never attended marriage classes, yet they lived together for 22years uninterrupted.
Samade and Cynthia were the Romeo and Juliet of their world, a perfect match to a fault. Mad but proud of each other and their union. They were seen severally kissing, hugging, caressing and sharing romantic moments together in the village.
They shared all things in common, they bathed together, played together, ate together, entertained their guests together, fought together, smiled together etc. Samade and Cynthia were an epitome of uncoordinated romantic folks. If they were not mad, they would have won the best couple of the yearā€™s award.
The lesson in Samade and Cynthiaā€™s romantic story is this; ā€œIf the insane can sustain a romantic relationship, the sane should be able to do betterā€. Unfortunately, most sane couples with common sense cannot stay together as husband and wife for 10 years without divorce or separation. Yet they have access to the good things of life. They have good shelter, good food, sound education, spiritual helps, finance etc.
The story of this mad couple inspired me when growing up in the village as a young boy. With this I made a covenant with my maker that I will have an enviable marriage. I told myself when I was 17 that ā€œif a mad man can do it, I can do it better because I am at better advantageā€.
Unfortunately, Samade died on 24th July 20ā€¦ and Cynthia died too on 3rd September of the same year of depression and loneliness. Their children were adopted by 3 different families whose lives were inspired by the romantic life of the mad couple.
They were mad together
They lived together
They died together
If the mad couple can do it, I can do it better because I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 KJV.
The End

  1. The story of this amazing and romantic insane couple is very challenging. How much love are we so called couples in good sanity, show to one another. They understood each other to the point of having just 3 children in 22 yrs of being together, i.e. they even planned their family. May God uphold our homes/families and make them sanctuary of Love &Peace in Jesus name

  2. God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise!If every man can be deaf and every woman blind, many marriages will last. But if the woman wants to say all and the man reacts to what’s said,trouble go dey police station

  3. God should just have mercy. These two insane couple resisted the devil in all forms that was the secret of their love story. How many sane people are resisting the devil in their homes. Our hand works has invited the devil to come and stay with us causing all sort of problems.We all need Jesus more than ever to rule our homes.
