Some years ago, we had a very faulty generator and terrible power supply in the area we lived. One night, some minutes right after the generator repairer left, the generator shut down – it was a season of physical heat, but it was also a season of marital heat. Irewamiri got tired of the situation and of my pastoral response […]
We had to step into a marital situation that was degenerating. By the time we got to ask questions, we had realised that it was a phone issue. It was shocking how a simple issue can fester to become so gangrenous. The husband insisted that his wife could not and must not touch his phone. He said he does not […]
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 […]
