Marital Talk: For Better or For Worse

For Better or For Worse?

A friend of mine asked me to write about the current marital crisis shocking the world. I have always try to avoid the subject of marriage in my writings and discussions. Not really because I don’t know what to write/say or how to write/say.

I still don’t want to write on it but I will reluctantly write a few words;

Marriage is an institution ordained by God. He created Adam the first man and said it’s not good for him (Adam) to be alone, so He made for Adam a woman (Eve) which Adam called his Helpmeet. That was go the journey of marriage started. Eve was created for Adam as a companionship. Thus the first reason for marriage is Companionship. 

It’s a pity that today, most folks marry simply because of procreation. Procreation is never the first reason for marriage. Eve was created as a helpmeet for Adam that was alone. Every man needs a companionship, every man!

If your spouse is not your friend, gist partner or companion, then something is wrong. If you are in a marriage simply because of the children you gave birth to, something is wrong. If you are in a marriage and it’s like master and slave relationship, something is wrong.

The day you are no longer a companion to your spouse, you have lose the taste of marriage. Marriage is sweet-less and tasteless without companionship. 

Many marriage crisis are as a result of spouses not been in togetherness which is companionship. God never discussed children, finances, materialism or whatsoever with Adam. He was concerned that Adam was alone not that he didn’t have offspring. When spouses are in companionship, all other things followed in that flow of companionship.

For the singles, marry someone who is your companion, marry someone you can always relate too. When the storms comes in marriage, what keeps you together is that companionship. What determine if your marriage will be for the better or for the worst is the level of companionship with your spouse.

For the married, Make your spouse, not an outsider, your companion. Your spouse is your best friend.

I pray that everyone having marital troubles will experience the move of God and there will be solutions and peace in their marital aspect of life.

I promise to write more as the Spirit gives me utterances in marriage but I will still largely stay away from it for now on my own.


It’s a great Saturday morning, do have a pleasant day...

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
