It was some weeks to the end of the year. That evening, my dear wife mentioned some things that she needed to get done, but I had no means to handle them. Interestingly, they were not big obligations, but they were pretty important. It got at her. It got at me too! It was one of the evenings I cried privately. […]
My teacher looked at me that day and said, “For the first two weeks of our marriage, we did not have sex”. I was wondering what the problem was with him and his wife! Did you fight? So what were you people waiting for? What happened? I did not understand. Then he smiled and said, “We spent those two weeks […]
She strolled to me in the living room and asked, “How do you love your fried plantain?” Unfortunately for me, I responded with, “the way __ fried it the last time”. My wife’s face changed. My apology had to be processed. I explained and explained that I was not comparing! Dear young husband, do not forget this rule- “Do not […]
The night I proposed to my beloved wife and she told me “No” for quite some reasons. As the reasons began to roll in, I perceived God speaking to me: “I have placed my daughter in your hands because I know you will not break her again”. God hinted to me about things that she would do and become. I […]
Just a few weeks after our honeymoon, I came home that evening to a slightly moody wife- one-word answers and feigned smiles. I could not remember us having any fight earlier. I asked questions upon questions but got no answer. For about two hours, she just wanted to be on her own. When at last she would speak, she told […]
Amid our disagreement that day, I wondered why such a minor issue could bring about such huge reactions. (Some responses you get at times go deeper than the issue itself. Men must learn to listen to what has not been said also until your wife masters the art of expressing herself). I was concerned. I called our mentor and narrated […]
On the journey to marriage, we had to embark on family visits. There were quite some opposing voices already. They had legitimate fears about our intention to get married. In the heat of it, we visited an elderly one. He did not mince words when he said to me, “Are you sure you will not be a liability to your […]
I already had a long-running debate with the Holy Spirit about marrying Irewamiri. I already had enough head knowledge as her pastor to place her in a box. I saw her skip services. I knew she did not like anything ministry. She was not even baptised in the Holy Ghost like some of us. To crown it all, we were […]
The fact that I was pastoring full time and resided in a place unknown to some of my prospective in-laws raised many concerns. It was a red flag for them. I did not have an easy ride to marriage. One of her elder brothers eventually agreed to see me. We met in a restaurant in one of the high brow […]
A young family was spending some time with us that morning, and we got into a conversation about their home. As we were about to end the conversation, I had a prompt to say to them, “The favour you enjoyed was not because you wanted to get married. People were not giving you gifts because it was your wedding day. […]
