In a message titled; ‘”The Troubles In Marriages,” Apostle Dr. W.E.I. Otuekwele, enjoined couples to be patient, love, show endurance and understanding in their marriage.
He said, “there is no perfect marriage, there are bound to be challenges in marriage, but our ability to face and resolve these challenges demonstrates our maturity.”
According to him, Genesis 3:1-15 made it clear that the man is commissioned to take responsibility of whatever challenges that may arises from the marriage irrespective of who caused it.
“God does not mind the way your wife behaves but God will mind the way you the husband respond; being a man is not about the age but the maturity of the mind.
“If you are 50 years old and you still slap your wife, you are not a man , you are a boy, because it takes a man to endure but it takes a boy to fight, so, when your wife begins to make mistakes and misbehave, you as the man will show endurance and continue to overlook her foolishness, because it is you God will ask questions.
“God knew what Eve did, but it was Adam He asked because Adam was the head of the home.
“When you make mistakes, you begin to run, your wife may be wrong, do not maltreat her, she may be wrong, but do not expose her, your wife may be wrong, but do not report her to her parents.
“God is not blessing marriages because we aportion blames alot to each other.
“It is the duty of the man to overlook the errors of his wife, because you are the one that is the head and responsible for her
“When your marriage fails, God will ask you, the man, because you are the head.
“To every marriage, there is serpent, the serpent can be anybody, ranging from your mother, father, brother, sister, landlord, friends relations and every other person.
“As a married man, you must determine the friendship you keep, because it will determine to your type of marriage.
“Courtship does not really determine having the right partner, because a man or woman can be in courtship for 10 years yet still be pretending, and will exhibit his or her true character when married.
“All that is needed to succeed is to learn to endure, persevere, and build each other to your understanding.
“When you reconstruct your marriage according to your pattern and the ways of God, your marriage will be blessed,” he said.
