Q: As a lady, you found out your partner of a year lied about his age, because you're a year older and he wanted to date you but he later confessed when you guys are already seriously together. Do you forgive or leave him? I feel if he can lie about that he can lie about anything.
A: A love relationship must not be founded on lies. Telling lies is betraying trust. And once trust is betrayed in a love relationship/marriage, that union cannot stand. Who knows if there are still secrets of lies he has in stock for you? The ball is in your court. But I can help you to know what to do with this question: Is telling lies a deal breaker for you in a love relationship? If it is, the quit, if it is not, God will help you. Thank you.
Q: My parents married and gave birth late, which have greatly affected my siblings and I. It is my determination in life to avoid this by marrying early but as it is going now am not even in any relationship and I don't think its even part of my plan, because I am still trying to gather my life together.
A: That someone is getting older should not be a reason to rush into marriage. The cart must be put before the horse. A stable source of income must be available, as marriage requires spending. It is good that you desire to improve on your parents marriage, but do it wisely. Ensure you get your heart together first by finding the right person and putting all other appropriate measures in place that will make marriage interesting to you and your family. It is not how far but how well. However, it doesn't mean it will take forever to marry. It is my prayed for you that God will order your step aright in life and make your heart desire come to pass in Jesus name. Thank you
Q: When I am in a relationship with someone, I don't know how to kick-start a conversation please help me

A: Communication is key in any love relationship. It enhances friendship and togetherness. You did not mention if your present relationship is your first. If it is, it is normal but you need to man up and be bold. But with time, you will get over it.

If your present relationship is not your first but if that has been the trend in all your relationships, you need to work more on your boldness level towards ladies. Let me now give you tips to ensure a conversation with your partner:

    1. Create a conversation in her area of interest. Everyone has a soft spot for something. Find out that of your babe.
    2. Talk about your spiritual lives, academics, purpose, job/career, entertainment, football, etc
    3. Talk about your daily activities.

You have to be intentional about communication with your partner before you get married so that your marriage will not be boring.

If you try all the above and the issue still persists, endeavour to see me. Thank you.

Q: I love my partner, but sometimes I feel distant and not free. What could be the cause?

A: The cause may be due to your nature. And if it is, you need to learn how to relate freely with your partner.

It may also be because both of you have not bonded enough. You both need to be friends.

It may also be because there is no enough communication between the two of you. You must be intentional to create effective communication between yourselves.

Another point is, is your partner also free with you? If he or she is not free with you, it may be the cause. Ensure your partner is also free with you.

Also, how often do you both see each other? If you do not see regularly, it may be the reason. Ensure you both see regularly. Thank you and enjoy your day.

Q: Is court marriage compulsory ? Even after traditional and church marriage.

A: A court wedding is to legalise your wedding. The certificate will be required to do certain things in the future. For instance, if you want to travel out as a couple, your court wedding certificate will be required.

And court wedding is important so that your partner will not misbehave and do you anyhow in marriage.

Thank you

Q: I am just 25 years old, I got married to my wife because we wanted to go for our MSc outside the country but she ended up not finding interest in it, can we get a divorce? Is it right as a christian to get a divorce?

A: Why would she not find it interesting? Did you people not do courtship? And if you did, what was the duration?

The truth is that there is no marriage that can't work if the two parties are ready to make it work.

Have you guys gone for counselling? I cannot advice you to divorce since I don't have the deeper knowledge of your matter.

If you don't mind, can I have a session with you guys? I believe God will do something. Thank you, and God bless you

Q: How can I manage a workaholic person in relationship place?

A: You did not say whether the person is he or she. Money is needed to run a love relationship and it is through work that the money can be gotten.

However, one must know how to strike a balance between work and giving attention to your love life. What you need to do is to communicate.

You need to continue talking about it until the person listens. Also, you can report him or her to the one he or she respects so much to talk to him or her about the matter.

And if the way of life persists and the person is not ready to adjust, and you cannot condole it again, you can then make your choice of staying or quitting. Thank you and God bless you in Jesus name

Q: As a lady in a relationship with a guy who is 5 years older than her and the guy wants the lady to respect him but she prefers calling him by his name since they are not married, the guy keeps saying he cannot be with someone who does not respect him, what can the lady do?
A: I will advice you to start using pet name for yourselves. This will solve the problem on ground. Thank you
Q: Why is it that ladies don't want to settle down with guys that they've achieved or attained more than?
A: They don't want because they don't want guys that would be dragging them backward. A man that is going to be a leader at home must be up to the task academically. The intelligence gap in a relationship must not be too much. Ladies like guys who can challenge them intellectually. Ladies appreciate guys who are proactive and have self-push. Ladies like guys that are problem solvers. And to have all the above qualities, you must be educationally there because education gives exposure. Guys in the house, kindly ensure you are not educationally backward. Ensure a minimum of a BSC or its equivalent. Thank you and happy new year in advance.
Q: What do you do as a lady that is ready for relationship and also ready to be commited but nobody is coming?
A: Relax, your right man will surely come. The bible says God make things beautiful in his own time. God's time is always the best. Please do not be desperate. Do not settle for less because of age or pressure. Just ensure you develop the right qualities and relate well with people. I know one day the right man will find and approach you. Thank you and i see your love relationship at another level this year in Jesus name. Amen

Q: Do you think it is right for a guy to ask to see a lady's parents just one week into the relationship?
A: If I may ask, why does he want to see your parent? Is it because of wedding? If it is for wedding , I feel it is too fast. Don't do that yet. You have to give yourselve time to know each other. Always remember this, the best test of love is time. Please don't let anyone rush you, rather take things one step at a time. Thank you.
Q: As a lady still pursuing career and academics, how do you balance it with relationship and marriage?
A: It is appropriate and advisable for a lady to be done with a minimum of a BSc or its equivalent before going into marriage. Marriage does not disturb you from furthering your education and career. For easy balancing of marriage, education and career, you need the support of your husband. You have to carry him along on your career and academic plans before marriage to know if he will be supporting you or not. Determination is another factor you need to have. If you are not determined even if your husband is supporting you, you won't be able to balance the three together. Some women have done it before. Some are doing it, and I know you can do it, too. Thank you
Q: If a guy has feelings for a lady, but does not have the courage to go and meet her, what should he do?

Q: As an individual in courtship, you and your partner are to discuss long term goals, but id on't know what those long term goals are, I need examples
A: Long-term goals are goals that are not for now but for the future. For instance, when you are married, how many children would you like to have? Which school do you wish they would go to? Careerwise, where do you see yourself in the next 5-10years and how do you achieve it? Financially, I want to have 20million in the next 10years, how do I go about it to achieve the feat? Academically, you can have a target of having a PhD before 40years. You have to plan for it to achieve that. Purposewise, I want to use my talents and gifts to impact 1,000 lives before I clock 40years. It goes on and on like that. Individually, you will have your long-term goals, but you must both think about how you can harmonise them so that one will not affect the other and everyone will be happy and fulfilled. Thank you and enjoy your day.
Q: What does it mean when one always dreams that the partner is hiding from him or her in a dream, and this has been recurring?
A: May I ask you, does God speak to you through dreams? If yes, it implies that God is telling you something about your partner through the dreams. More so, the hiding in the dream may imply your partner is hiding something from you which may be a secret. Pray to God for more clarity. Thank you and enjoy your day.
Q: What is advised as a man in marriage if the wife earns more?
A: This situation is possible and there is nothing bad about it. Just that the two of you must agree and work together so that it will not show that the wife is earning more than the husband. As the husband, you need to seek your wife's support to always be of help whenever you are unable to meet the payment of some bills. That is why she is your helpmeet. Also, you need to upskill so that you can get a better job which can give you enough income to cover your bills at home. Thank you and I see God helping you.
Q: In a relationship where the guy wants the lady to handle misunderstandings by always speaking politely to him, but it makes the lady feel like she is walking on eggshells, what is advisable?
A: During any misunderstanding, it is proper that polite words are used so that the situation will not be aggravated. It is better to avoid any situation of misunderstanding but whenever it arises, caution must be taken by keeping calm and talking politely. This is because in any misunderstanding, no two wrongs can make a right. Thank you and enjoy your day.
Q: Is it advisable as christians to work in a betting company as production manager as all efforts to get another job is futile?
A: Let the two of you pray the prayer of agreement to God for another job. I know God will provide since He sees the sincerity in your hearts. But he should not resign until he gets another job. Thank you.
Q: I have a partner who always claims he does not have money or that someone owes him anything I ask for something and this has been causing issues for us, I stopped asking, but I still feel like if you love someone giving should come naturally, please advise me.
A: If I get you well from your question, your partner has never given you something whenever you ask him. If it is yes, this is not good. Love is giving. And in any love relationship, giving is important. It may be that your partner is stingy or that he does not love you. You are the one to find out which one. The truth is that getting married to a stingy person or someone who does not love you is wrong. If anyone does, the experience in the marriage will not be palatable. Do your assignment well to know if your partner is either stingy or does not love you. Then the ball is in your court to make your decision either to continue or not. Thank you.
Q: I am a guy, I have a partner who keeps frustrating me emotionally, asking questions that if she knows the truth she gets angry and starts misbehaving and when I don't answer it gets worse, what can I do?
A: It may be that there's a trust issue between the two of you, or there are things she knows about you that you don't know. I will advise you to sit her down and have a serious discussion.

Ask her why she does what she is doing and I know you will likely get a clue from that discussion.

Thank you.

Q: Women feel like after misunderstandings, even after both parties have apologized they still want to be petted, why?
A: Naturally, women like pampering and care. If petting is the language your partner wants, kindly give it to her. And if you also need petting, you can have a talk with her too so that she will also know that it has to be a two-way approach. I know once you tell her, she will likely adjust and oblige you too.

Thank you.

Q: I am a lady, my man always wants to have his way so I gave him silent treatment for 2 weeks, but I eventually messaged him, he is now asking if I am ready to marry him, but I have been talking to other people though its not serious yet, should I accept his proposal?
A: From your question, I don't think your mind is fully with the guy because you are distracted by other guys. To say yes is your decision but I will guide you.

Have you prayed about it? Have you confirmed if he is the will of God for you?

Can you cope with his character and weaknesses?

Before you say yes, you must answer the above questions.

To know if you should say yes or not, kindly read my book titled How to make the right marital choice in life.

Q: I am a guy, I have noticed that anytime I have issues with my partner she starts making negative comment like, we are not right for each other, I don't know if it is low self esteem or she is not ready for marriage, cause it happens too often, will it not get worse in marriage, if we eventually get married, how do I cope with this?
A: We have people like that. They think negatively. And they developed this type of thinking style due to the following: background, religious belief, upbringing, bad past, circle of friends, environment, daily activities, etc. And to make people like these change their style of thinking, it will take time and patience. My advice for you is that if you know she is God's will for your life, you need to be patient with her. Always reaffirm your love for her. Show her more love. Talk to her more. Be friend with her more and be praying for her also. You can also take her for therapy too. If after you have now exhausted all the above methods and you do not see changes, you can then make the choice you deem fit. Thank you.
Q: Is it okay to choose a man that chooses his own family over his partner and distances himself when he doesn't have money, but still does anything for his family even when he is broke?
A: A man with this attitude still needs to be talked to. The relationship you have with your partner is different from the one you have with your family. And one must not affect the other. Anyone who wants to marry must not have such an attitude described in the question. Such an individual is not yet ready for marriage. If the person does not change, it is not advisable to marry such a person. Thank you.
Q: I have been in a relationship with a man for over 9 months and I always encourage him to allow us pray as a couple, he never agrees, meanwhile the devil has been attacking the relationship, it is tiring, what shoud I do?
A: If I may ask, did you guys seek God's face before starting this relationship? If not, kindly go and do so to know if truly you are in God's will for your lives. If you did, your guy has to step up spiritually because the man is supposed to be the priest of the home. And it is important that you both get a mentor you can both submit to that can guide you. Thank you.
Q: In a situation where a woman earns more than a man, after getting a promotion and the husband insists that she has to choose between him and the job beacuse there will be disrespect, what advice would you give them?
A: It is possible that the wife's salary is higher than that of the husband. And there is nothing bad in that. But the wife must be very careful in the way she deals with her husband so that he will not be intimidated. As the wife, you need to respect your husband more so that he will not feel that it is because of your higher income that is causing your arrogance or wrong attitude. For your husband to be saying you should resign, it implies that he has been noticing a certain attitude in you which may be making him feel intimidated and uncomfortable. Kindly have a serious talk with him so that he will speak out. Then assure him to change and to be intentional to please him. I will not advise you to resign from your job if the husband's salary cannot take good care of the family and set up a business for the wife. And if he still insists on you resigning, you can inform someone he respects to talk to him. Thank you.
Q: Is it true that men that do not start having sex early start having running stomach?
A: It is a lie that not having sex will make a man have a running stomach. Kindly pay a visit to the hospital to see the doctor about what is wrong with you but I know for sure that it is not a sex-related issue. Thank you.
Q: What should a lady do when her EX's are coming back now and they seem ready?
A:You know you cannot marry all of them. It is only one that will be meant for you. What you need to do is to go to God in prayer to lead you right. You need divine leading when it comes to choosing a marital partner. Do not say yes to any of them yet if you have not gotten divine leading from God. When it comes to marital choice our human reasoning alone is not enough because it has limited capacity. Please don't let anyone pressure you into any relationship. Take your time and involve God through prayers. Thank you.
Q: I have always heard about star signs and its compatibility in marriage, how true is this?
A: I will not say yes or no if it exists or not. The truth is that different religious beliefs and culture have their ways of helping people to determine their compatibility whenever they want to make the right marital choice. But as a Christian, our standard to choose is God. He is the one we believe in to direct us right. See, what I want to tell you is that, know how God talk or communicates with you. When you pray to Him concerning your marital choice, He will surely respond back to you through that means understandably. Thank you.
Q: Is it okay for my in-laws to keep interfering in my marriage directly or indirectly? Is it a sin if I react?
A: It is not appropriate for in-laws to keep interfering in the marriage of their children. If you react, it is not a sin but it is not wise. And I will not advise you react because it is not your fight but your spouse's. It is the responsibility of your spouse to caution his or her parents and to place limit to how far they can interfere. Kindly have a heart- to -heart discussion with your spouse concerning this issue. Ask him or her why he or she has not done anything concerning the issue. Discuss the limits on what to tell and discuss with your parents concerning your marriage. And after all these, if the problem persists, kindly book a session with me. I would like to have time with the two of you. Thank you.
