عزيزي احمد سيد احمد
اختيارك موفق جدا في الموضوعات التي اخترتها من هذه المجلة الشهيرة ، وخاصة موضوع: يمكنك ان تجعل الحب مزدهرا اذا حاولت.. وهذه الموضوع بالذات اظنه يعني السودانيين لأن السوداني هو اقل الرجال كلاما مع زوجته وشريكة حياته.. والمقال يقول هنا ان اسلوب التحادث والمخاطبة مع الشريك الآخر يعتبر من اساسيات استمرار الحب والعلاقات بين الزوجين.. وكثيرا ما تشتكي الزوجات السودانيات بأن ازواجهن لا يعبروا عن حبهم ابدا بالكلمات وانهم صامتون صمت القبور .. وهم يعتبرون ان حبهم لزوجاتهم من البديهيات ولا يحتاج لتعبير بالكلمات.. ولكن المقال يقول هن ان الافصاح عن هذا الحب ضروري جدا جدا كي تشعر الزوجة بأن شريك حياتها يحبها.. وتقول احدى الزوجتا ان زوجها لم يقل لها ابدا طيلة فترة زواجها التي امتدت لخمسة عشرة سنة بأنه يحبها .. وقلت لها ربما يكون خجلان.. وسألتها انت ليه ما تبادري وتقولي ليهانك بتحبيه.. فاستنكرت ذلك على الفور.. وقالت:" كيفن اقول ليه بدل هو ما يقول لي؟؟ وقلت لها:" نحن من مجتمع شرقي محافظ جدا جدا.. ومهما تغير الزمن ، فإن الزوج والزوجة السودانية لن يتغيرا ابدا... فلغة التخاطب بلغة الحب والعشق مفقود بينهما... والمقال هنا يؤكد اهمية مثل هذا التخاطب في ازدهار الحب والعلاقة بين الزوجين..
مقال موفق جدا.. نرجو ان يقرأه المتزوجين والمتزوجات بعناية ويطبقوا ما جاء فيه
والله يديك العافية
