Ladies and Gents,
Dr Akinyemi graciously shared this article with me, and I have his permission to pass it on .
Like other paradoxical commandments " give, and it will be given unto you, be merciful and you will receive receive mercy etc.. In marriage, death to self is key ingredient for survival of the marriage.
Pls read at your convenience.

Can't help but share this brethren, read and be blessed.
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, "I've got something to tell you." She sat down and ate quietly.
Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

I came across this article, though long but thought provoking and a food for thought.
I didn't bother to check out the author but I believe it's necessary for us christains to read and act.
We need, as a church, to arise and act, maybe in some groups like hosue fellowships and other church groups.
Lets discuss, what do you think?
LET IT BEGIN FROM D CHURCHES!!
Nigeria is an incredible country.
I mean, it is one country where millions are suffering and thousands spend every weekend celebrating one thing or the other, spending millions of naira that are not available to the suffering millions. Nigeria is comparable to the United States in one aspect: we always talk "ests." I mean, we have the largest, smallest, richest, best, meanest of so many things. If we are not the happiest nation in the world, we are the nation with the most number of PhD degree holders. In Nigeria, we have some of the poorest people who have some of the biggest smile anywhere but we also have perhaps the largest untapped oil and gas reserves that have helped fueled the reign of the meanest set of rulers.
You see what I mean?
A couple of years back, Nigeria maintained she had broken world records by convening the largest gathering of Christians anywhere and also to have built the largest Church building in the world. We literally gush at such reports. As someone who was born in Nigeria, and a Pastor of a local church in the United States, the positive spins make impressive news.
However, personally, I believe that the most appropriate label for Nigeria is that she is a nation with a large Christian population, largest Church edifice, a Christian President, a huge number of big name churches and Pastors all over BUT with the least positive influence on society. I once heard what Dr. Okey Onuzo said in his address to a local congregation in Nigeria: if what we have presently in Nigeria is what we call a revival, then we are in trouble. That's right Doctor!
