He saw me with a rubber ring and ask me if I was married and I said know, he removed the ring from my finger and said I will give you better one.

Please come I have questions;

1. What did you dream? As in what was the dream you dreamt to convince you she was the one? You know how Joseph dreamt of the sun, moon and 11 stars bowing down to him bah, what was your dream?

2. Did you guys implement a no sex policy during the dating and courtship phase? If yes, was that hard or easy to do? Did you even date for any reasonable length of time?

3. How long did you pray before receiving an answer and revelation? Did you combine your prayers with fasting?

I am curious because I have never seen or heard a man say he did what you did prior to marriage. In Naija people act like it is something only women do or it is only meant for women.

I actually saw your questions, but didn't have the time to answer then.
[/b]1. What did you dream? [b]
The dream was clear because the night before that dream I prayed specifically for a partner, in that dream I was in a car that was filled with passengers and left with just one passenger space at back. Different people made attempt to occupy the last remaining seat. I refused because I wanted convenience and was willing to pay for the extra seat until a lady (the lady I married) came in.

Probably she had seen other people try to occupy the seat, because she uttered the words 'even me, won't you let me in?'. I finally agreed, and immediately she entered I woke up from that dream. Immediately I knew beyond every doubt that she was the one.
So many other events unfolded that confirmed she was God's plan for me.

Hehehe. This is a church-moderated courtship. Deeper life for that matter. Very strict on issues like this. Courtship venue was a church premises. Once every 2 weeks for 8 months. We were given an outline that details everything that should be discussed by intending couples'.
It was a no-sex policy courtship and yes, it was very easy to do. Mind you, I never had sex with any lady before her.

I have been praying about it since 2015. Without fasting though. I had one lady I was very close friends with, she was like an idol that prevented me from getting a clear answer. All through the prayers, I was hoping I would get a confirmation that she was the one that would be my future wife. Physically, I didn't find any blemish in her, she was so nice so I thought she is the one. (Till Nov. 2016 when something scary happened and we parted). From that moment, I increased the intensity of the prayers as I was not having any real friend. I finally got the answer on February 9 2017. A Thursday night, I can't forget that night cos the dream came moments after I had finished praying specifically for a partner.

I didn't propose sha...

To me, its not necessary

I was never going to date without the intention of marriage.

So from the first day, she knew I was in to marry her.
Exactly, I hate all those western culture of proposal abeg. Why are you in a relationship if you are not going to marry?

But I think telling her that you want to come and see her people is a traditional way of proposing as an African man.

Because remember that as Africans, no man should want to come and see his girlfriend's parents unless he's ready to marry her.
But you know some ladies, they still want that drama

That public show that onlookers would bring our their phone, taking videos and shouting "Say Yes"
