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 […]

IT IS BETTER TO STAY SINGLE IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO DO THIS…

We had to step into a marital situation that was degenerating. When we got to ask questions, we realized it was a phone issue. It was shocking how a simple issue can fester to become so gangrenous. The husband insisted his wife could not and must not touch his phone. He said he does not touch her phone, so she […]

HERE IS HOW TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

I grew up using the New General Mathematics textbook. One of the things about holidays was the pages of mathematical sums we would get to solve. I had a childhood friend whose parents got an extra-lesson teacher for on both Mathematics and Further Mathematics.

DEAR HUSBAND, SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE!

Just a few years after marriage, he took an interest in helping out a particular young lady. What started as a counselling session to help a young girl genuinely was already sliding into a wall between his wife and himself. To make matters worse, it seems as though he was not even sensitive enough.  He started giving his wife one-word […]
