Collection of Marital Stories
Yan Huo and Dan Shui are a married couple who haven’t had a single peaceful day since their wedding. They argue every day, more punctually than mealtime. It’s often said that children are the bond that strengthens a marriage, and having a child should mellow their temperaments. However, their son is already in elementary school, and their arguments are only getting more intense.
One day, their neighbor Aunt Zhang came over to borrow a hammer. Seeing them in the midst of a heated argument, she couldn’t help but advise, “Oh my! How can you live like this, arguing every day? Just take a step back each, and it’ll be fine! Back in the day, my husband and I used to argue all the time, but after I found faith in the Lord, I became more peaceful, and we haven’t argued since.”
Yan Huo laughed at this, “The Lord is that powerful? I don’t believe it. Why don’t you ask the Lord to give me some kind of revelation…”
Dan Shui snorted and said, “Even if He did, the Lord wouldn’t bother with you.”
Yan Huo got even angrier upon hearing this and started shouting at Dan Shui again.
Aunt Zhang, trembling with anger from trying to mediate, pointed at them and said, “You two are hopeless!” She stormed off, almost bumping into Yan Ming, who was standing at the doorway.
Aunt Zhang patted Yan Ming’s head and sighed, “Oh dear! Having parents like these, it must be so hard for you.”
Early the next morning, there was a loud knock on Aunt Zhang’s door before she had even gotten up. She hurriedly threw on some clothes and opened the door to find Yan Huo and Dan Shui standing there together, speaking in unison for once, “Aunt Zhang, you were right! Look, this is the Lord’s revelation to us.” They handed Aunt Zhang a chicken egg.
Aunt Zhang took the egg and saw the words “Merry Christmas” written in colorful letters. However, it was obvious that these were just stickers used by children, as she had seen her grandson play with them before.
Yan Huo, noticing that Aunt Zhang was just looking at the egg and not saying anything, quickly explained, “This morning, I found this egg with the words in the chicken coop. It’s a miracle! It must be a sign from the Lord. So we came to you, asking for a recommendation to join the faith.”
Aunt Zhang looked up at them and also noticed a small figure behind them—it was Yan Ming, peeking inside mischievously. Aunt Zhang immediately understood and smiled, “I can recommend you to join the faith, but you must promise to live harmoniously from now on and stop arguing.”
Yan Huo and Dan Shui nodded eagerly, like pecking chickens.
Behind them, Yan Ming revealed an angelic smile.
