DEAR LADY,
There are many reasons people decide to marry like; training an heir, getting a free-for-life business manager or financial deal, needing a housekeeper or a beautiful arm decoration to go with his status, getting his mother off his neck, desire to join the married clique, his environment dictates so… and lot more than these. The Bible already expelled your headache by explaining who to choose. If he does not need a helper, please, bless his journey as he continues his search.

Many Christians have the Marriage Fever
I was praying in service one morning when two words: MARRIAGE FEVER dropped heavily in my spirit and it forced me into a statue. God was saying I had marriage fever.

God started expounding it right there and funny enough it was not targeted at only me. I felt Baba's exasperation as he scolded all my single siblings and me together. He was like, "What is it, Chioma..."

Did I hear You Ask If He’s ‘The One’?
One sunny day during my service year, this young man walked up to me at the parade ground, called me his sister and swore he was ready to marry me.

The poor guy. He must have done a lot of research and seen how girls swallow the "marriage/dowry" hook. Too bad. This was the same…

She Said, “No”.
Weird because I could not understand what the fuss was about. She didn't really like the guy, she's underage and so not ready for a relationship, plus God had spoken so clearly to her. So what other reason did one need? As this special lady sat in front of me waiting for the call she had placed through to the guy to be answered so she could finally break it off, she began to sweat all over and hunch in double as if her stomach hurt badly.
