THE MARRIAGE THAT ALMOST NEVER HAPPENED

THE MARRIAGE THAT ALMOST NEVER HAPPENED!

By Dipo Segun Smith 

They almost gave up.

Kunle and Sade met  in Abeokuta, Ogun State, after a midweek church service near Kuto. What started as friendship grew into love, but the waiting stretched far longer than they planned or expected. 

Years passed by, and life refused to cooperate. Kunle’s income was unstable at that season, and Sade’s small tailoring business barely covered her daily needs.

 There was no money for a wedding ceremony, no savings for a decent house where they can start a family, only faith and constant prayers was in abundance.

Pressure came from everywhere. Friends moved on. Family members advised them to “wait till things are better.” some said they should quite the relationship.

 Many times, they talked about ending it, not because love was gone, but because life felt too hard.

Still, they held on. They prayed together, fasted, and chose patience over embarrassment. Then slowly, things shifted. Kunle got a steady job in a factory in Abeokuta through a church contact.

 Sade began receiving more sewing orders. It wasn’t plenty, but it was enough to hold body and soul together. Smile returned gradually.

They held a simple wedding, no luxury, just joy. A small room became their first home. 

Today, they testify that God didn’t just delay them. He prepared them for a simple Marrital life. All things works together for good.
