    When I was still a boyfriend, I didn't mind doing cooking and house chores to impress my wife when she visited. After all she was going to pay back in full when we get married by serving me totally because I will be the MAN OF THE HOUSE. #Thread

    After we got married, we were so optimistic in making our marriage work. The raw joy and love we felt on the wedding day made me feel convinced that we had all we needed to make that happen. What we didn’t know was that there were several NATURAL THREATS TO MARRIAGE #Thread

    Last week, my wife and I felt so overwhelmed with our new responsibilities as parents that we just held each other and broke down in tears. All we felt like doing was TAKE A VACATION FROM OUR OWN LIVES

    They lied when they told you that married couples can’t stay happy forever. I have seen these two go through life and are still so in love, enjoying each other’s company like they met yesterday. 41 years together, 39 years in marriage. Happy Anniversary Dad & Mom 1983 >>2024

    I almost destroyed my marriage even before it began because I was hanging on to a 'harmless friendship'. This would have cost me everything.

    A year ago, my family & I moved from Abuja to Lagos. It didn’t take us long to realize that the rules for love in these 2 cities were different. While the former was relaxed & gave us more time to be intentional, the latter was so upbeat & before long, affected our marital health

    Few months back, our baby was admitted. As always, myself & my wife were in the ward taking care of things. I happened to be the one changing our babys' diaper when a nurse came in. She was middle aged and had this look of disdain seeing me changing my son, and she said...

    I have come to realise that there is such a thing as the MAN OF THE HOUSE, but it's not the man who lords over his wife or family like a dictator. A MAN OF THE HOUSE is the man who is committed to serving his home completely. He is a Servant-Leader

    As life is progressing, we have seen that the threats don’t disappear. They even get more and some seasons are tougher than others. What keeps the wheel of the marriage going is knowing what could be a threat and choosing to prioritize the marriage over those things every time

    I have met too many older Christians who laugh at me for being in fire for Christ. They'll be like "We were once like you. Don't worry you will still calm down". THIS IS TOO BAD. You lost your fervour, leave me with mine. We owe it to the next generation to stay on fire for life.

    This journey started on a Saturday 5 years ago. 5 years & 2 boys later, we are bigger better & more in love. Truly felt like a breeze, & sometimes we feel like we should pause time to savour each moment. It’s so beautiful doing life with you @JajaPraiseworth Here’s to Forever.

    Interestingly, my service to her has made her to treat me right consistently even more than the expectations I had built up in my head. It's as though each time I serve her, she naturally responds by trying to outdo my service. It's like a healthy contest of service to each other

    We learnt how to communicate truthfully and lovingly even on the stressful days. We learnt to make compromises in areas we had strong leanings. We learnt to be more tolerant and forgiving. We learnt to prioritize each other. We learnt to choose each other every single day.
