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? […]
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 […]
