No Personal Questions Please

So I finally had to tell one of my coworkers to STOP asking me questions about my personal life . She got the craziest look from me when she asked me does my husband massage my back.....OMG!!!!!!!!! I about flipped out and wanted to really tell her "none of your business" but I just pushed out a little unwelcome yeah and went on about my business. Then about twenty minutes later she says,Tamika, can I ask you something and that was the straw that broke the camels back. I replied, "No, don't ask me anything personal". I mean I'm a very discreet person and extremely introvert and discussing my personal life is TOTALLY OFF LIMITS!!!!!! I don't put anything about me and my spouse in detail on my facebook page or talk about him to other people not even my mama. The most I will do is post pictures of us on an outing or in church and that's about it. As far as all this every other post talking about how he rubbed my feet or cooked dinner no it's not happening. I mean as a minister, I feel the responsibility to show compassion for my other sisters in the Lord who are single and are still waiting for God to send them their Boaz. I think it's very inconsiderate for married couples to publicly toss their love weight around whether in church or on social media and continually rub it in the faces of those who are single or heartbroken. I can't understand why some people lay out the details of their marriage about how good their spouse is to them on social media. Majority of it are lies anyway because they are doing it just to rub it in their ex's face or trying to make another person jealous who wanted their man or woman. I saw something the other day where the folks just went overboard with love stories of their marriage on Facebook and I said to myself this is a set up for the devil to attack them because they are putting out too much of their business. Forget that!!!! Whatever I got to say about my husband I will say it to my husband when I am with my husband and keep it just between me and him. I only use my facebook page for ministry purposes anyway. My marriage and personal life is none of folks business and that's why I'm not too fond of marriage class and seminars in the church because everybody starts telling their business and revealing their spouse's secrets and weaknesses. Come on now if you having problems that's what marriage counselling with a spiritual leader one on one is for. But I know that even if I wasn't married, I still wouldn't talk to people about my or their personal issues because that's an easy way for people to fall into sin. I just keep it 100 in the Spirit and the only way the public will know anything about me is when God gets ready for me to release it. Other than that the only thing they need to see is my praise and me serving the Lord with all my might.
