How did you meet your wife?
I met my wife at my sister’s place when I went there on a visit. I went on a visit to Port Harcourt, Rivers State and I saw the beautiful lady sitting quietly.
How did the relationship start?
The moment I set my eyes on her, I knew she was the one for me. I approached her and from there we became friends and we watched things blossom. I had the conviction since the first day I met her; I was so sure she was the one for me.
What attracted her to you on that day?
Immediately I met her, I found my heart racing. In fact, it was the heartbeat that brought about the attraction. Her height also did some magic for me. As much as it was her physical attraction, her virtues became more endearing. On the day I met her, I observed that she’s a polite and courteous person.
For how long did you court before you got married?
We were together for two years before we eventually married. Though I knew she was the one I was going to marry the first day I saw her, some other things needed to be settled before marriage.
What did you enjoy most on your wedding day?
I enjoy the drama of the traditional wedding and the adornment that comes with being a bride. I was particularly amused because I knew I was leaving with my wife that day.
What lessons have you learnt from marriage?
No one can accurately quantify the lessons of marriage; it is a whole ball game. It’s an interesting part of a person’s life. There are many lessons in marriage; in fact, a whole book won’t be enough for it. But one major lesson I have picked from life is that ‘family is everything.’ Challenges are always there and they are endless, but love conquers everything.
What ís your advice to young people preparing for marriage?
They must know and make a conscious decision to devote their lives to those they choose so that when challenges increase, they don’t see them as a burden, but a blessing. They should put their families above all except God.
