Your wife is not submissive. She doesn't read her bible ... Because the bible charges wives to be submissive to their husbands and not to deny them their bodies.
see what u are saying. I am disappointed that u can expect as woman who goes to church everyday to know Bible. What do u think they go to church "everyday";to do? They don't even open one page of the scripture apart from Exodus 22:18 or Malachi 3:8-10. My Brother, Christianity has been rubbished by evil seers and prophets of satan. Even babalawo wears suit and calls himself prophet. Omo wahalaa de oooo

Eze2000:


Hello bro,

You have been stupid! Listen and listen well.

1. Why did God create a woman?
Answer: To be a man's companion for 'it is not good for man to be alone'.

2. God said... "Worship me, believe in me, honor me' for I am God and tolerate no rival."
Food For Thought; Where did he say 'be my slave?"

3. In God structure of creation, a man must have dominion over his household. HE WIFE MUST OBEY HIM COMPLETELY, BE BY HIS SIDE AT ALL TIMES AND MAKE HIM HAPPY for she is a blessing unto him.... 'He that findet a good wife findeth a good thing'
This is the single reason why there is a critical shortage of 'prophetesses in the world' ever since biblical times. All the powerful women you see in God's work today are merely support systems for their husbands. That is how God made the world, the woman is the sholder of the family and the man's support system.
Your life right now. Where is your good thing? Your support system?

4. How do you know your wife is going to a good church?
Food for thought: A church that encourages the woman to leave her husband often even at night when he needs her care and comfort after a hard day at work, what kind of church is that? Or even better what kind of pastor is leading it? The seed of dissatisfaction is being planted in you and your woman is frequenting a public place alone, a place where temptation can be a problem in care is not taken! Are you fanning the fire of adultery or what?

5. If I may ask what she is praying and fasting so fervently about that is so important that the problem it is causing does not matter? Do you save your car and lose your house?

Your description of your wife reminds me of people who server God dedicatedly for years but still manage to go a shambolic life that leads to nowhere but hell. Why? They do not know what they are doing. Let me give you an example. Compare the Jehova's witness doctrine of sexual intercourse in marriage and King Solomons ideology of it...he created many songs on sex in the bible! But hey, the witnesses will tell you all about how its a sin to enjoy your own wife!

Most of the churches you see don't serve God but appear to do so. Any church that servers God worships him morning and evening in services and a few other special services during the week. Even the people that live in the church do not attend all.


God gave man life and a free will. Wine and his wife and for his pleasure. the children are a blessing unto him. When you life is complete you must thank God but it seems your life is being torn apart by a pastor while you blame God. STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do not know me but a search of my history here will tell you something. I am among the best authors on the Nairaland literature section but guess what? That's only a thing i do. I am a prohet of the liveing God but my time is not yet come. Three years ago when i first registered here, I opened a thred on here asking for help in finding a wife but was insulted. I metion this so you will know the person talking to you. I'm a chemical engineer by training being forced to serve God but refused, a situation which complicated my life beyond anything you can imagine. Many are called but few are chosen. But so very many just call themselves in order to get rich. Even till this day, i have not married because I want to find my 'support system' so i won't leave loop holes for satan to expoliot when finally i stand in God's work in a major way which is what Satan is trying to stop.
God has instructed that I must marry this year and my search will begin next month.

Senseless pastors causing problems for people and leading them to see God and Churches as bad is why i ran away from calling many years ago as a child. I was called at age 15. Yes, you heard right ...15.

Tell that pastor to go to his home and leaves yours. Make your wife yours but do not deny her the food of spirit, however, don't let her eat that food blindly for she will get nowhere fast.

Let her serve her God with reason and so should you.

The greatest trick Satan ever played on man is to convince him he does not exist.
Fix your home or lose it.

I'm sorry, but that pastor is a home breaker.
Who said going to church every day will make one go to heaven.
I know the pastor and your wife even her church members will be seeing you as the devil.
Go and bring back your wife.

Look for something that will take her time, or even out of town,
Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by Nobody: 4:49pm On Aug 04, 2018
The best solution would have been to follow her to church, anytime she dresses up, u tell her to prepare your child too and u all go together..
U will see everything u want to see and there wouldn't be need to come here.

Now that you have chased her, u have given her freedom, ..
U still have the chance if you want to
Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by Nobody: 4:56pm On Aug 04, 2018
I Will Really Advice You To Monitor Your Wife With The So Called Pastor Closely. Many Pastors Are Crafty. They Deceive Gullible Women Alot And Can Sleep With Them Counless Times While They Claim They Are Going For Night Nonsense Vigile.
If U Still Love Ur Wife, Take Her Back From That Fake Pastor B4 He Turns Her To Something Else.
Divorce Is Not An Option. Go And Get Ur Wife Back 4rm That Crafty Pastor.

daveson07:
we had a church we both attends, she was invited to dis one I cudn't possibly say no,,, dats how it started gradually

Well, she seems to be getting some satisfaction from her behaviour and that's why she keeps at it. I think I understand the way you are trying to run your relationship and that method can sometimes make it difficult to “put your foot down”.

Yelling and threatening I doubt will bring a positive result. Seperation or divorce is also not the way out in my opinion. You have to find a way to bring her around. Maybe getting something closely related to what she is doing but in another setting - like in the church you both used to attend. Finding something she enjoys doing also and building that up to take just as much of her time. If she finds herself doing something else that feels just the same to her and happens to be wih her family, I think she may lean more towards that.

Now when I say a cult, I don't mean it in the way we see in home videos woth rituals and devil worship and all sorts. Someone described the signs of a cult as

1. Opposing critical thinking

2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving

3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture

4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders

5. Dishonoring the family unit

6. Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior (versus sexual purity and personal ownership)

7. Separation from the Church

Now I don't know you or your wife but from the posts you have made, look at number 4 and 5. Many religious groups and bodies in Nigeria are particularly fond of number 4. The leaders ake you believe loyalty to them is loyalty to God. This is the cult-like situation I am talking about. And it always starts from somewhere.

I am intentionally ignoring a sexual angle to the pastor's behaviour. Very intentionally. Until there is more data, I will refuse to assume there is a sexual relationship between the pastor and any of his members. However, there is point 6.

Your wife needs to ask her self certain questions.

Then I'm surprised that as a couple, you don't attend the same church. The man is the head of the family altar, it is obvious your family didn't have one, so your wife is taking the bull by the horn and has become over zealous.

You are ti blame for it. But it is not enough to put your wife away, schedule an appointment with her pastor and explain how your wife's over zealousness is affecting your marriage, then talk to your wife. Make her understand her priority is her home, unless she's not ready to be married.

You two should look for a good church you both can attend and grow spiritually, cause it looks like you're lagging behind spiritually.

Truth is, your wife is disregarding her duty as a wife to submit, but make yourself a man that is worth submitting to. You have to be able to lead her in all aspect, including spiritually.

I wish you well.
Seeing her pastor may not help because the wife is acting based on the sermons she heard in church. She must have been told that she must love God above all including her husband and family. While this is true, the problem is that Nigerian pastors have equated love for church and church programmes with love for God. This is unfortunately not true. The woman who loves God will honour God's word and care for her husband and family.

Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by oyetpel(m): 7:31pm On Aug 04, 2018
This scenario happens a lot between my Mom and late Dad.
Even though my dad was an ordained pastor he wasn't pastoring any church and he was scared about starting his own church, so he said my mom should be attending his junior brother(they are from the same hometown) so that she can develop well in knowledge. She became the head of women in that church and rarely miss church programmes. Then it started affecting dad, he complains a lot.

We always eat late in the night, and whenever dad vexes about her going to that church they become enemies and dad won't talk to her.

Whenever dad complains i am always thinking shebi church is a good thing, shít really confused me a lot.

Finally, dad started a church 4 years b4 his death, and we all attended the same church, and that issue was solved after so many years.

Now if we eat late papa know say we all just dey come from church.

Many would overlook the triviality in the "may be" and instead begin to seriously suspect their wives. It may have been at the back of his mind before, but seeing your comment will trigger it hard. He might even see need to accuse his wife in the process.
You should have been much more subtle.

This might sounds insane to many people but that's the pure truth,,my family life is at the brink(divorced but not yet legal)

as am typing this, i'm in deep confusion and pain.
It started some years back, my wife started going to this church (name withheld) that one of her friends invited her to join, at first i really don't care cause women(or girls)of nowadays can't be controlled cause of this equality bull.shit.

Now it's affecting me and i can't cope again,Monday to Sunday now it's one programme after anoder,,night vigil,special prayers and all.

Sometimes I eat late in the night,she would'nt return on time to prepare dinner,no time to have normal and enjoyable s€x with my spouse,she is always busy with church activities

I've complained several times and she will always promise to change,all to no avail,i even asked her never to attend dat church again,next ting i know their pastor was at mah door step begging me to retract my decision that evriting will change..(noting changes,it's even worse)

So,since i can't make her to desist from goin to the said church,i actually commot her from my house,since dat church is affecting her business also,she does'nt have time for shop again..

The main reason i wrote all dat sermon is dat,was i wrong in anyway? Cause i'm feeling guilty rite now and dats wots causing d pain in mah heart

ignore all typo and just try to get my point,,,PLEASE HELP A BRODER AM REALLY CONFUSED...tnx in advance


Something is wrong some where
Funny as it may be, she is the only one that have the problem and unless she opens up to you, it will continue till eternity

Now that you have separated from her inform her family and keep watching things from a distance

You did not mention kids, I assumed she is yet to have babies or yet to be pregnant, it could be one if the reasons she is committed to church activities hoping that one day her prayers will be answered

Meanwhile until she opens up no one has a clue to it

Or may be she has been brainwashed by the so called church
Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by chrisj2(m): 8:35pm On Aug 04, 2018
One child and they have agreed not to have another for now. This sounds like a somewhat middleclass relationship; most nja relationship will have had at least 2 kids by now. We shall take your word for it that there is no problem with that aspect of the relationship.

Why go to church everyday? The same question I ask my mother who is almost 80 - why go more than 3 times a week and why are you spending so much money when you are a pensioner with no pension (kids pension scheme). I dont get it!

Your is under a spell (edi from church); it does happen. Or there is something not quite right going on. What is the point of changing churches - you go there to worship, be observant and do more worshiping and praying on your own. Do your Bible reading too! Someone invite another person to a particular church (I bet it is not a catholic or anglican church - it will be one of those fake pentecostal churches)

I will divorce her and move on! Only one child and she is already good for nothing.

*BTW, I do not go to churches - do not worship at all. I don't see the point! I will not tolerate my spouse spending more than 1 or 2 Sundays in a month in church - otherwise, I am gone!

Is like you are not man enough, why should you feel guilty? You have done the right thing. She has chosen the church and the pastor against you. You will be wasting your time talking her because right now her pastor is more important to her. Report to her family and plan to marry again. Pastors are destroying so many marriages.
