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 Nigerian brand alternative.


- Prioritise your expenditure. E.g, rent, school fees, home feeding are more important than hangouts, parties, phones, 10th pair of shoes, etc.


- Learn to say NO to some expenses or requests. We don't have to buy all Aso-ebi or the latest trend. Make do with what you already have, mix and match to look different.


- Save and invest as often as you can. Particularly when you come across some excess income.


- Again, communicate communicate communicate. Speak with each other about your financial position, and together agree on how to spend the money.


- Learn to be content and think about the future. One of the causes of divorce is financial stress. Learn to manage together when there's little and enjoy together when there's more.


‭Proverbs 19:14 AMP‬

"House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers, But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the Lord."

Dear wife, let's be blessings to our husbands, let's be prudent.

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...

Praying as a Couple yields greater results.

 The physical side of things is the tip of the iceberg that you see above the sea, while the spiritual side of things is the large mass of the iceberg buried below the surface of the water and therefore not seen. However, that lower and larger mass that is not seen has a larger impact on the ship than the tip at the top. While there are physical activities to making a marriage work, there are spiritual activities to be done and those have even larger impact. God, who is unseen, created marriage, the world and everything in it. He has the best knowledge on how things can work to be successful. Have you tried praying about a disagreement and seen that it turned out good? Have you ever searched for something and then said a short prayer and noticed that you found it almost immediately after? Praying moves unseen things in our favour. We just prayed and boom it happened. Now, there's a higher dimension, the prayer of agreement. When you and your spouse agree and pray, the result is mul...
