Don't be quick to jump on the wagon!


In these days of trends and the allure to jump on the speedily greying moral wagon, we have to keep our "God compass" intact.


I personally prefer to watch Korean or Asian series over their nollywood counterparts because they generally have better moral values. I remember a few years back, a new series titled "the world of the married" was trending and someone suggested I watch it. That in fact, it was a remake of another series..it was so good, it had different remakes.


I started it and of course the 1st episode would suck you in, but by the 2nd or 3rd episode (not even sure I made it that far), I had to stop. Not because it was boring...oh the intrigue was strong but because it was going to sow huge seeds of distrust in me for my husband.


If I remember correctly, episode 1 ended with the wife discovering that her faithful husband had a very active extramarital affair and everyone was aware except her or so.


As I watched, I kept thinking about my husband and wondering hope I wasn't in a bubble of my own... thinking all was well in paradise. Started looking for holes that didn't exist in my marriage. I just had to stop, cause it was causing me more harm than good.


Imagine the power of the media on your relationship, how much more the gossip or wrong counsel of friends who are closer & more real than the media. 


The Bible says in ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1:1‬-3

[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

[3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.


There's a lot of ungodly counsel out there, sinners and scorners lurking in every corner. Do not walk, stand or sit around them. Let the word of God be your compass so you can have a happy and prosperous life.


A better society starts with better homes. Let's build great marriages.


Love is always a choice...🤗

Sexlessness is a Sin!!!

Hello married people. Long post alert but please try to read it through. I stumbled into a playful conversation with a couple in church on Sunday who said they were considering leaving a Christian couples group due to our perceived 'vulgarity' especially in the area of sex and bedroom references. 😳😅 Of course, while I could tell they meant it playfully, I couldn't shake the feeling that many who silently observe in the group carry the same impression and would probably whisper in private conversations that "are you sure these people are born again?" To be honest, I personally cringed at times we have had to make some of these references but we have increasingly found that it is absolutely necessary, especially when we consider the pressing condition of many married relationships.  In 75%+ Christian marriages we have had to counsel and in reports reaching us from other counsellors in our church and many more from outside we have discovered that there is an epidem...

Be a financially prudent wife, be a blessing.

 The rate at which prices have been skyrocketing in Nigeria in the past few months....our source can be none other than God. God makes provision through man and how man manages the resources God gives to him is very crucial.  The husband has a primary responsibility to provide for the home, so while his income might not change in this period, the wife has to spend with knowledge and understanding. How can we make these better financial decisions at this time? - Both husband and wife should be totally transparent about the state of their finances. This way, the wife knows how much she can spend without putting the husband in debt - Create a budget for shopping and restrain yourself from going overboard by more than a maximum of 5/10%. We know sometimes you'd spend more than you planned but have limits please. - Look for alternatives to your regular items. E.g, if you usually buy an imported version of a product and the dollar rate is making it very pricey, look for a good Niger...

Beauty without Morals

The yorubas say "obinrin sowanu, o ni oun o mori oko waye". This means a woman lacks good morals and complains that she doesn't have a husband. Beauty is good, but wisdom and good morals are better. See this scripture, it says that beauty is wasted on a lady if she doesn't have good morals, imagine! So, to the men that think all they need is a hot chick, I hope the beauty will be enough to keep you going in trying times. To the ladies who think BBL is the way to go to keep a man...time will tell. A lady with good morals will give you peace of mind. You are fortunate if you have a lady who has both good morals and a beautiful look. However, if you have to choose between beauty and good morals, the bible has pointed you in the right direction. The choice is yours. A better society starts with better homes. Let's build great marriages.
