BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 18: DOES HE OR SHE CONSIDER YOU AS “OVER-AMBITIOUS?”

We were having a heart-to-heart conversation recently. Irewamiri mentioned that in the early days of marriage whenever she mentioned anything about her dreams, I would make a sound and then grow quiet. I never knew I was behaving that way. She said, "I thought I was over-ambitious". She began to [...]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 18: DOES HE OR SHE CONSIDER YOU AS “OVER-AMBITIOUS?”

We were having a heart-to-heart conversation recently. Irewamiri mentioned that in the early days of marriage whenever she mentioned anything about her dreams, I would make a sound and then grow quiet. I never knew I was behaving that way. She said, “I thought I was over-ambitious”. She began to tone down on her dreams and conversations about them until […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 17: DOES HE OR SHE HAVE A HEALTHY SENSE OF HUMOUR?

I learnt this from my pastor during my service year. He shared a story with us one day: He travelled out of town and on his way home, he saw a lovely car. When he got back home, he told his wife, “I will buy you a car”. The wife, knowing their financial state and her husband very well, looked […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 16: HAVE I THOUGHT ABOUT HIS OR HER FINANCIAL HABITS?

By the time she was trying to find help, the matter had gone really bad. He would gamble with his entire salary, her own money, and their family savings. It was taking a toll on the family’s finance and their intimacy. It started with just a little trial with “an insignificant amount”. Before the emotions of “I am in love” […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 15: CAN HE OR SHE BE THE FATHER/MOTHER TO YOUR CHILD?

I remember the story of a woman in labour. Her husband was not around. All she did was lay curses on the man. It was a painful sight to behold. The only time she stopped was when the Matron gave her a firm ‘friendly’ response. I could not but wonder the bitterness that had accrued in her mind towards her […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 14: ARE YOU ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT VALUES?

A dear sister suffered heartbreak and found solace in the hands of a childhood friend who had been asking her out. She did not heal before committing to a new relationship. One day, she had a reason to visit her boyfriend – he was ‘sick’. She broke all her rules that day. She drank alcohol for the first time in […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 13: DOES S(HE) HAVE WORDS THAT LIFT?

Some years ago, as we prepared for Sunday Service, I gave Irewamiri some money and I said, “Darling, this is all I have left aside our offering for today. Please, use this token to buy some things we may need”. Her response still rings a bell in me to date. She looked at me and said, “You are a blessed […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” (12): HOW DOES S(HE) BEHAVE DURING A CONFLICT?

During our courtship, I visited a dear father in the faith, and he asked an interesting question: “Have you ‘fought’ with Oyeronke before?” I responded in the negative. He smiled and told me his story: He agreed to everything his wife said in courtship. In the early days of marriage, he had reasons to tell her, “No, you cannot do […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 11: ARE WE HEADING THE SAME WAY?

That evening when my friend returned to her base, I spoke with her mum. The question asked was loaded, “Pastor, I thought you were going to follow my princess home”. I apologised but I knew there was no way that was going to happen. We got pretty close, we bonded as friends, and we loved each other but our direction […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 10: ARE YOU READY TO SHARE ALL WITH HIM/HER?

On the 8th of May, 2024, my parents clocked forty-four years in marriage. Their marriage has been a great example to me and many others. Some six days before then, May 2nd makes it exactly twenty-six (26) years since we returned home from a family function and Mum announced to my Dad that she could not see him or anything […]

BEYOND “I AM IN LOVE” 9: WHAT VALUES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR YOU?

When the Lord called me to ministry in the land of Eruwa, my first relationship journey began to experience some shaking. It had been a smooth journey for about four years but that decision to go full-time in ministry in obedience to the Lord, especially in Eruwa became a ‘stumbling block’. Some questions kept reoccurring. At one point, we were […]
