Danielle has a pattern where she wakes up very early. There are times when she wakes up when she hears us praying. This day, when Irewamiri saw the look on her face, she was prompted to ask whether Danielle would still love to sleep. Her response shook both of us: [...]
Read MoreWe had the most fun in our neighbours' house- they had bicycles we could ride. They also had the television games and then the handheld Nintendo game. It was every child’s dream to own one. But there was a challenge: Their Dad had rules! We had such rules as you [...]

Two of my friends planned to have a time-out. They had booked a dinner at a restaurant. They wanted to spend time with each other. Interestingly, right after placing their order, they began to press their phones. Then it occurred to them that instead of spending time with one another, they were pressing their phones. They decided to categorise their […]
We were about to wrap up a church hangout for couples when a dear one raised a matter. Someone said to his wife, “Work hard and make a lot of money for yourself because money changes men”. He said his wife told him, and he has not stopped thinking about that statement. We all had an open conversation about it. […]
Irewamiri and I had questions to ask our dear teacher and mentor about the finances of a young family like ours. He looked at us and said, “In my few years on earth, I have seen some of my friends fail morally, and all of them admitted that they first started by failing financially. Any man who fails to be […]
Two dear ones had been struggling with their courtship. Matters seem to have gotten to an unimaginable height. Allegations were flying here and there. Their conversation leaned towards a break-up. It was obvious they allowed things to degenerate. Since we had the opportunity to be in their city, it was easy to notice the breakdown so we created time for […]
They had quite some issues in the early days of their marriage. They disagreed over quite a lot of things. It was obvious they loved each other but the issues just seem to be pulling them apart. It had become so bad that it was hard to even hold each other in prayer (that was the first time I noticed). […]
It was a beautiful morning but the atmosphere at home was not that beautiful. An issue was taking some emotional toll on both of us. What had not happened in years happened- our voices were getting loud as we both tried to communicate our feelings. We were both hurt. I got ready earlier and decided to leave the car for […]
A young lady who had some level of access to us once approached my wife and said, “I want to tell you something ma”. Irewamiri asked what the matter was. Instead of mentioning what the issue was, she asked my wife “Has Pastor not told you? Maybe I should wait for him to tell you”. Irewamiri was wondering what the […]
The husband fell into adultery. The husband confessed to the wife because he wanted to be accountable, free from sin and also rebuild the trust he had lost. It was a huge mess for him and the family. The wounds ran deep. The wife could not believe it. This is is a Godfearing husband but where did he get it […]
In the early days of our marriage, we had to have a very important conversation. As we drove out that night, I was already contemplating whether to talk to my wife or not! Atthat point, I was almost scared of her reaction toissues.I simply blurted it out, “Baby. I need to tell you this andhope you would not be annoyed”. […]
I was sharing a couple of lessons from our marriage journey with an intending couple. Our first conflict in marriage was a compliment that was taken as an insult. It took a while to be able to correct the impression that the compliment created. In marriage, there is a tendency that both parties will communicate from their background. Your choice […]
