During our premarital counselling class, our teacher asked me, “What is one thing that your wife will do that will make you leave her?” I didn’t hesitate to answer, “Whatever will make Christ leave the church as His bride.” The man was stunned and said, “Let us be practical here. There are things that can actually make you leave your […]
There was a day my Dad called me for a conversation. When I walked into his room, he looked at me and said, “Where is your wife? You are both one. She should be a part of all I am telling you now.” He understands the power of becoming one in marriage. My father-in-law also treated me this way when […]
In my days in the secondary school, we had what we called “Morning Duty”. For the male students, it was mostly cutting grass. A prefect would assign portions.

During their courtship season, he said to his fiancée, “In this marriage, I will not have an opinion, and you will not have an opinion; we go with what the Word of the Lord says. If it cannot be found and justified in the Word, we will not do it”. They have an amazing marriage that has run for over […]
A couple were going through a tough season. It led to a drastic drop in their sexual intimacy. The frustrated husband looked at his wife one day and said, “Hope you know that there are other women outside”. What a threat. Another woman who felt unappreciated by her husband also said, “I am sorry, but he should know that there […]
At a wedding some years back, as the exchange of vows was going on, it got to a portion where the groom seemed to mumble the words through. The presiding minister immediately scolded him and asked him to repeat the vows properly. He struggled through, but he eventually did. He must have known the weight of the words that he […]
We wanted to move to a new house. When we eventually got home, it was standing alone somewhere in a developing area. Our next neighbour was some distance away.
