“Breaking off an engagement is permitted. It is not divorce” – Pastor Faith Oyedepo
Pastor Mrs. Faith Abiola Oyedepo has given her submission on the issue of breaking off an engagement even after saying “Yes” to the partner.
Many feel guilty after this act and they feel as though they’ve committed a grievous offence by calling off an engagement before the actual wedding as many see it as divorce.
This is why we have two rings – Engagement ring and wedding ring. Engagement ring is not wedding ring. They are two different things.
So, it is advisable to call off a relationship heading for trouble before marriage. This is wisdom.
In the words of Pastor Faith Oyedepo, she said “Breaking an engagement is scripturally permitted; it is not considered divorce and should not be mistaken for one. Saying “Yes” to a marriage proposal is different from saying “Yes” in actual marriage. Many tolerate themselves during their engagement period and eventually get married, and thereafter enter into crisis.”
