The Indivisible Coin

When you excitedly made the vows those years ago, this is what you were signing up for..."a ti le po" meaning, we are stuck together.

Let's use this coin. It has 2 different faces, designs characters, etc, but you cannot separate the 2 sides from each other. They are stuck.

The only way to separate this coin, is to destroy it.

That's what happens when we think we can go our separate ways, we destroy the union of 1.

You must come to terms with the fact that you and your spouse are two different people, however, you have been joined to become an inseparable unit. ‭

"From then on, they are no longer two, but united as one. So what God unites let no one divide!” Matthew 19:6 TPT‬

It's because you think you're the one that joined you together that you think you can break up your marriage. God joined you together, honour Him by staying together.

So, treat your spouse well. Treat your other side with love, care and acceptance. Make the best of your similarities and differences. Grow together, forgive quickly and easily, withholding nothing, lift each other up.

Don't forget, you are not competitors, you're on the same team.

‭When you both make God the centre of your marriage, you get closer to each other as you draw closer to God.

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...

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...
