Hey y'all, so yesterday was my 21 years wedding anniversaryđŸ„°â€ïžđŸ’ƒđŸ’ƒ, and I'll like to share 21 lessons I've learnt these periods. I hope and pray that it blesses you and inspires you to be more intentional about making your marriage more fulfilling and blissful đŸ„°

21 Lessons from My 21 Years of Marriage

1. Marriage is a Covenant, Not a Contract

It’s a lifelong commitment before God, not just an agreement based on convenience.

2. Love is a Choice, Not Just a Feeling

Feelings fluctuate, but love is a daily decision to honor and cherish your spouse.

3. God Must Be at the Center

A threefold cord (Ecclesiastes 4:12) is not easily broken. Keep God as the foundation.

4. Communication is Everything

Listening is just as important as speaking. Miscommunication leads to unnecessary conflict.

5. Respect is as Important as Love

Men crave respect; women thrive on love (Ephesians 5:33). Both are essential for a healthy marriage.

6. Pray for Your Spouse Daily

Prayer covers, strengthens, and aligns your marriage with God’s will.

7. Intimacy is More Than Physical

True intimacy is emotional, spiritual, and intellectual as well.

8. Seasons Change, and So Do People

Adaptability is key—what worked in year one may not work in year ten.

9. Forgiveness is a Gift You Give Yourself

Holding onto offenses poisons your marriage. Choose to forgive quickly.

10. Finances Can Strengthen or Strain Your Marriage

Transparency, budgeting, and teamwork in finances prevent major conflicts.

11. Never Stop Learning Your Spouse

People grow and change. Keep discovering who your spouse is becoming.

12. Your Marriage is a Ministry

How you love and serve your spouse reflects Christ’s love to the world.

13. Parenting is a Partnership

Raising godly children requires unity and shared responsibility.

14. Guard Your Marriage Against External Influences

Be mindful of toxic friendships, bad advice, and family interference.

15. Date Your Spouse Regularly

Don’t let routine kill romance. Keep the spark alive intentionally.

16. Serve One Another with Joy

True love is about meeting each other’s needs, not just receiving.

17. Laughter is a Great Healer

Learn to laugh together, even in tough times. It builds a strong bond.

18. Be Your Spouse’s Biggest Cheerleader

Support their dreams, celebrate their wins, and encourage their growth.

19. Conflict Resolution is a Skill, Not a Battle

Fight fair, seek peace, and always aim for restoration.

20. Marriage Requires Work, But It’s Worth It

Great marriages don’t just happen—they are built daily with love, sacrifice, and intentionality.

21. God’s Grace Makes the Difference

No marriage is perfect, but with God’s grace, every marriage can thrive.

Do as I say, not as I do" doesn't work in parenting. Children learn by watching us. If you want them to be kind, be kind. If you want them to be patient, show patience. Today, reflect on the example you’re setting. Let your life be the first lesson they learn. đŸŒ±

Listen up, Men!

This is a lesson every man must not only learn but pass on to the younger ones: know the difference between a stage and a choice. Life’s stages are non-negotiable—they happen to everyone. Teething, puberty, adolescence, aging—these are stages you can’t escape. But the decisions you make within those stages? That’s where your life is either built or destroyed.

Drinking, partying, and sleeping around are not stages; they are choices. And bad choices come with consequences—unplanned kids, broken homes, STDs, addictions, lost opportunities. Too many men destroy their futures by convincing themselves, “It’s just a phase; everyone goes through it.” That’s a lie society sells to justify recklessness. Don’t fall for it.

Look around. You’ll find men who’ve chosen wisely. Some married their high school sweethearts and built stable, loving homes. Others avoided alcohol and drugs entirely, focused on discipline, and now live peaceful, prosperous lives. These men didn’t “skip” a stage—they simply avoided destructive choices that others made excuses for.

On the flip side, you’ll see men who can’t escape the chains of their own bad decisions. They’re stuck in cycles of regret, wishing they could undo the choices that ruined them. All because they mistook recklessness for a stage of life they had to go through.

Teach your kids and siblings this: every choice has a price. Stages are inevitable, but choices are optional. Make the right ones, and you’ll build a life of strength and purpose. Make the wrong ones, and you’ll waste years cleaning up the mess.

A stage is a path nature forces you to walk. A choice is the road you decide to take. Choose wisely, because no one gets to skip the consequences. Stay disciplined, stay focused, and lead by example. That’s what real men do.

FLEE FROM PO*******HY
Po*******hy will distract you from cultivating intimacy with your spouse. It will make you ignore your spouse without you knowing it just to look at videos and pictures of naked strangers banging. Address this by desiring the real thing, not illusions and p**n stars. Train yourself to say no

FLEE FROM LUST....
Lust will make you struggle to be faithful, it will make you flirt with others over the phone, at the wotk place, in the neighbourhood and social media making it uncomfortable for your spouse. It can affect your desire for your spouse. Lust dies when you stop feeding it. Check out of lustful conversations, see people around you with respect, not sexual objects

Dear couple, Say NO to suggesting divorce when things get difficult. You don't solve problems by threatening to walk out. When you tell your spouse divorce is an option it can easily discourage your spouse or make your spouse defensive. Unfortunately, some ask for a divorce not because they are serious but to and manipulate and in so doing planting seeds of doubt in their marriage. Your marriage must succeed in Jesus name đŸ™đŸ„°

Husbands: You pursued your wife until she left her family and friends. She believed in you so much that she even dropped her family name and adopted yours. Now that she is in your home shouldn't you do much more to show her that you love her and appreciate her. Keep pursuing her, keep loving her and keep cherishing her above everything and everyone, except God. A good wife is worth dying for. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD." (Proverbs 18:22)
