BUILDING RESILIENT MARRIAGES (IV)

That Sunday, my wife looked into the congregation as she taught and said to them, “I troubled my husband in the first two years of our marriage.” I smiled at her. I knew what she meant. She told them the truth. Of late, we also wonder at how much we have grown in bonds. We laugh at mistakes we made […]

BUILDING RESILIENT MARRIAGES (III)

Sometimes ago, in the early days of our marriage, as I drove to the estate gate where we lived, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Go back home and apologize.” I made a U-turn. I returned home and apologized immediately to my wife. Interestingly, I did not even know that she was annoyed until the Spirit of God pointed it […]

BUILDING RESILIENT MARRIAGES (II)

We invited a special guest to a conference once. I was prompted to ask the wife to also share for about ten minutes. It was something else hearing from her.

As we sat outside the reception venue, I was conversing with another older friend of mine. She has a good job and is also beautiful. She is a born-again child of God.

THE KEY TO A TRUSTWORTHY AND UNITED MARRIAGE

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 the issue, she asked my wife, “Has Pastor not told you? Maybe I should wait for him to tell you”. Irewamiri was wondering what the matter was […]

DO NOT MARRY “A BABY”

Some months ago, I remembered an action of mine that I thought was proof of great spirituality back then in the university, and I was surprised at how ‘simple’ (in the proverbs dimension) I was. For a while as an undergraduate, I was not rooted in any local assembly on campus. I was getting blessed reading spiritual books. I was […]

HERE IS HOW TO REBUILD TRUST AND RESTORE LOVE IN MARRIAGE

The husband fell into adultery. He confessed to his wife because he wanted to be accountable, free from sin, and rebuild his lost trust. It was a huge mess for him and the family. The wounds ran deep. The wife could not believe it. This is a Godfearing husband, but where did he get it wrong?  Things got better, and […]
