When we made up our mind that we would be getting married, we made two important decisions- the first was a question that helped us to engage wisdom. The second was a decision that reduced contention and friction. The question was simple- “Temi and Ronke, if you will be getting married based on what you have now, what will the […]
When we returned from our one-week break after the wedding, someone complained that there were people who did not get to eat at our wedding. My response was simple, “Can I have a list of those who complained that they did not eat so I can know the list of people to unfriend. Both my wife and I do not […]
I had a list of those my wife must meet before we married (aside from my relatives). We made quite some trips. It was tough, but it was necessary. At one point, someone told us we had to reduce our trip, but I explained that it was key that my wife met all the people concerned. One of the things […]
She felt so terrible. She still could not believe that she actually fornicated. Her mind was troubled. She knew she had to settle it with God. She prayed till she sensed a relief. She then called the “man in her life.” She began to express regrets and said such would never happen again. The man smiled and said to her, […]
I got several counsels ever since before I asked my wife to marry me. My spiritual grandfather told me, “Son, there are two very important things. First, be sure that you heard God.

During my service year, I was a student at the Insight Christian Leadership School. It was a full month of training school. We had a daily roster for leading prayer and giving exhortation. Coincidentally, the day I gave the exhortation of 10 minutes was the day of the General Pastors Meeting for the ministry. All pastors from various branches were […]
A young couple was spending some time with us. While interacting with them, we began to probe and ask questions about their union and especially their sexual bond as a young couple. We shared tips and educated them about things that will help their sexual bond and the actual act itself. At one point, we mentioned that pornography was not […]
By the time she was crying out for help, the man was already using his entire salary to gamble. There was a particular month that he gambled away their entire savings. At a time, he gambled away his wife’s salary alongside his own. What started as a little test to try it out had become a behemoth that cannot be […]
The wife voiced out, “Pastor, he only thinks about himself. He puts himself first”. The husband also felt the same way, “My wife does not care about us. She puts herself first. She will hold on to her money when I am in need. I have made up my mind never to ask her for anything.” Greed is one key […]
