I Was Alarmed By How Scattered My Husband Was When I Married Him – Pastor Mildred Okonkwo

Pastor (Mrs) Mildred Okonkwo spoke at Pastors Seed Family Session, Day 3, RCCG Holy Ghost Congress 2021. She talked about PROTECTING YOUR MARRIAGE FROM CRISIS and one of the ways you can protect your marriage from crisis is by Planning your life.

He advised them to Count the Cost. “Don’t say you want to get married and you don’t know what you are going to do there,” she said. She said that she was talking to someone and she said she is so stressed out that her marriage and her three children are so stressful. It is because she didn’t plan. Is it not the marriage that our parents were married with eight to nine children and you say you are having mental depression with your marriage?

According to her, you need to plan yourself, you will have children. You can even get pregnant on the wedding night. If you do what gets you pregnant, you will get pregnant. When children come, they don’t ask for permission, they want diapers, they don’t want to know whether you have money or not. They want milk and children don’t have faith. When it is school time, they will dress up. They don’t know whether you have school fees or not.

She said that If your marriage will succeed you must have a plan and that plan should include that divorce is not an option. “These days I see people that have been married for two minutes and they are talking about divorce,” she said. When you get married make sure you are planning that there is no way out. If you don’t plan your marriage it will fail, you have to be intentional. I know that it is emotional love that will start it, but it is intentional love that will take it to the next level.

Finally, she said that when she got married, she was shocked by how scattered her husband was. When she entered his room, books everywhere, shirts here. She just remembered for better for worse, I do. You don’t get to choose the worse. You will be there and you will make it work. So you must plan, if he is scattered what will I do? If he gets angry easily what will I do? If there are things I don’t like now and he never changes what will I do? If we plan to have one child and I have triplets what will I do? If I don’t get my job immediately after I finish school, what will I do? Plan.
