    Vital lessons:
    1. Never ignore or downplay the red flags 🚩.
    2. Don’t think you can change any grown man or woman.
    3. Avoid any man or woman who hasn’t healed from past bad relationships.
    4. The fact that you’re the best for them doesn’t mean that they’re the best for you.

      Very vital points you highlighted. The signs were evident from the very beginning but unfortunately ignored. I sensed in my spirit that something went wrong at a particular point( which was mentioned during the course of the interview)
      You are blessed for your observations.

    I had the chance to marry a nurse and a preacher . I chose the preacher. We ended the marriage after three years . Abusive Christian relationship is the most common but unspoken dark topic happening in the body of Christ ! Most Men of God weep secretly with deep regrets. It’s now a blackmail issue with Pastors. I am a pastor although not full time , I almost chose to marry a Muslim lady why ? We need total honesty, love and Submission which is lacking in most Christian women.

    My encounter with Dr Olumide Emmanuel was in 2008 as a Security Guard in his newly built house somewhere in Southwest Nigeria where I worked for about six months. He is a great mind, full of wisdom. I read one of his books then "Singles, thou arth loosed" and instantly got inspiration to pen down a book.
    We were told that his wife and two children were in America as he often travel to America with bags loaded with his written books.
    We use to wonder why a rich Pastor and entrepreneur of his caliber was living all alone.
    You have impacted many lives Sir and I believe those children will look for you at the appointed time.

    I divorced my husband- I wouldn’t say it was destructive. The marriage was destructive. But one thing I was adamant on, was to keep the relationship between the father and his children. That is important. Now myself and the father are good friends for the sake of the children! It is selfish to use the children against the father because u are not just hurting him but the children also!

      @flourishhavenhomes I wrote the piece below some years ago as led at the time:
      Marriage and divorce (Math 19:3-12, Mal 2:13-16,
      1cor 7: 1-17, Eph 5:21-33 MSG)
      Several controversies has surrounded the subject of marriage, especially in recent times
      that men have become ‘lovers of themselves’, “follow their own desires and surround
      themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear” (2Ti 4:3). This study
      will attempt to examine the biblical teachings about marriage and dovorce, especially in
      the context of Jesus’ teachings as compared to the Jewish (and current/modern)
      practices.
      Math 19: 3-12 MSG
      "One day the Pharisees were badgering him: "Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for any
      reason? He answered, "Haven't you read in your Bible that the Creator originally made man
      and woman for each other, male and female? And because of this, a man leaves father and
      mother and is firmly bonded to his wife, becoming one flesh--no longer two bodies but one.
      Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art
      by cutting them apart." They shot back in rebuttal, "If that's so, why did Moses give
      instructions for divorce papers and divorce procedures?" Jesus said, "Moses provided for
      divorce as a concession to your hardheartedness, but it is not part of God's original plan.
      I'm holding you to the original plan, and holding you liable for adultery if you divorce your
      faithful wife and then marry someone else. I make an exception in cases where the spouse
      has committed adultery." Jesus' disciples objected, "If those are the terms of marriage,
      we're stuck. Why get married?" But Jesus said, "Not everyone is mature enough to live a
      married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn't for everyone. Some,
      from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked--or accepted.
      And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you're capable of growing
      into the largeness of marriage, do it."

    As a child that experienced separation of my parents I can totally relate. My dad had custody of me and one of the effects is that I almost have zero relationship with my mum. We are both still trying to build a relationship.
    And when I was also around 10 years old, I asked my dad why he wasn’t with my mum when the Bible said Divorce is a sin 😊 (Dad is a Pastor) and he explained.
    We bless God for the family now and how he has helped us build and I’m grateful that I was brought up to believe and trust the Bible as God’s Word.🎉

      @@veetellsit Well, mum & dad were in a relationship… and I was born. They were never married but the relationship got strained and they separated and dad had custody of me. So there couldn’t be a divorce in this case as they were not married.
      Context: All these happened before dad gave his life to Christ. Years later, he would become born again, get married, become a pastor… to God be the glory.
      The only not so good thing is that I and my mum’s relationship was strained by proxy and we still trying to build. PS, I’m an adult now 😁

      I was thinking of getting serious with a girl which would have led to marriage, about 20 years ago.
      Then one day, she showed another side of her which I didn’t know existed just because of a very simple disagreement between us.
      That was a red flag 🚩 which I decide not to ignore and there and then I made up my mind, she’s not the one for me as wife.
      As of today, she’s a single mother to 2 kids after her future husband left her too because of her character.

    Great to see the (Nigerian) church discuss divorce and remarriage openly. Unfortunately, many Christians are still victims and can't remarry because churches refuse to wed them simply because of complicated separations/divorces similar to Pastor Olumide's. May Christ continue to be the centre of the church (Christians) and may broken people find solace there. Amen.

    I got a divorce because of toxic family interference but I ensured the children had their father in their lives at all costs. Women must not make their children pay for the divorce by demonizing their ex-husbands regardless! Its harder when the west legal system seems to reward you more if the man is totally enstranged from the children's lives. We need to keep praying for Christian marriages. Especially those with huge western influence.

    The questions you might never get answers to, the depression you fight endlessly to get free from...
    It's an excruciatingly pain that comes from inside that only God can heal you from...
    And it all starts by letting go and letting God lead.., and that's the hardest part.. 😪😪😪

    This is exactly my case. It's almost 4 years I haven't set my eyes on my kids. Divorce is so so bad, it dealt with me ,but I prefer to remain strong. When you're getting married, vet properly , ensure your partner has the value of marriage imbibed in them, make sure she contributes something tangible in the marriage, there must be commitment. My marriage lacked that everything that stood the marriage Wass by me from the beginning. Divorce is actually messy, it's just more painful that the innocent children bear the brunt. Most women are just bitter and lack what it means to understand that the divorce is between them and the man, not the kids. Regardless, we move.

    I overcome such monese of thinking about denying the dad father not to see his children on my knees! It was impossible for me to do this after he divorced me because of how I raised up my children !! We went through tourture in his hands . My children could literally ran to the bedroom to pretend they were sleeping when he entered but I spoke wisdom in them!! He is their father and nothing could change it. It was hard but a blessing of a father on his children no one else can fill that gap. On my knees and word of mouth , Godly instruction , I gave them. Today, he married but if the children want to see their father, they have to. It's foolishness to stress kids on this issue. People must fight their own battle away from children! I thank God he gave me wisdom and grace. Am forever greatful to God!!
