I was reading in the courtyard at my residence during my brief stint at the State University. There was a lady who was older than I was and had been in school for way longer who came visiting my flatmates. She is reputed to be one of the “big girls” on campus. She rarely spends the weekend in school. When […]
When my parents dropped me off at the State University, they looked at me and said words of prayer for me. My extra-large “Ghana-must-go” bag was full of provisions that I would need, but my heart was full of parental warnings like, “Remember the son of who you are” and “Do not walk with bad friends”. They bade me farewell. […]
There were days she slept right between us. We wake up and talk to her first before talking to one another. There were times I told Irewamiri that she uses more endearments for Danielle than she has ever done for me. You will hear things like, “My baby, my love, good morning”. We were drifting apart. Dear young wife, there […]
My dear teacher looked at me that day and told me these parting words about sex in marriage, “No matter what happens, do not take yourselves too seriously. Keep learning. Keep exploring till you get better”. Dear young wife, do you want me to tell you the truth? You must learn about sex. For your husband, it is a major […]
In the space of two weeks, we had argued about almost everything. Little things will bring sparks. I spent a while meditating on what the challenge might be. After one of such disagreements, I gently sought the audience of my wife and told her, “Darling, I noticed that it has been an overwhelming season for you- things have gone so […]
At the breakfast table just before our marriage, my spiritual father said to us, “No one must come in between you- not your parents, friends, children or church members.” Dear young wife, there is something you must NEVER do- do not report your spouse to your parents! Please do not do it. Why is this important? Out of the emotions […]
The whole church pulled a fast one on me that evening. As I stepped up to teach at the conference, they screamed, “We love you, Pastor Temi”. They supported it with placards. In a rush, a lot of things came flashing by. I loved and appreciated the moment. I remember telling Irewamiri afterwards, “No matter the public approval and accolades […]
As we drove out that evening, I had an internal debate about whether I should talk to my wife or not. I finally told my wife, “there is something I would like to tell you, and I hope you will not be annoyed”. We have had our fair share of misunderstandings in our few months of being married. I spilt it […]
We were at family devotion that day, focusing on giving. My wife said, “It has been a while since I gave to my husband as my pastor”. One of the young ladies at home said, “But you give to him regularly as your husband”. Irewamiri told her, “Giving to him as my Pastor is a different thing altogether”. Dear wife, […]
When my phone rang that day, it was a call from a dear mother. She hit it straight: “There is a boy always hanging around your sister now. What do you think about him?” The boy in question happens to be my friend. I spoke highly of him. Today they are married and doing great. Why did she call me? […]
