This question is about "Marriage is a Private Affair" written by Chinua Achebe, where we are introduced to Okeke, a man who decides to choose a bride for his son. He chooses a good Christian girl who meets his expectations for a daughter-in-law. However, his son does not want to marry this girl because he is in love with another woman. Okeke does not accept this, but his son ends up marrying the woman he is in love with, which makes Okeke claim that he will never speak to him again, or visit his house.

After many years, Okeke receives a letter from his daughter-in-law, stating that he has grandchildren who want to meet him. At that moment, Okeke begins to change his opinion about his son's marriage. He feels like getting to know his grandchildren and is most important to family contact. We can consider this change credible, because Okeke lived very lonely when he decided to cut off contact with his son. At that moment, he got to see how important the family is.
