and I'm sure it was mostly her own money,I bet she wishes she married him in Vegas at a drive through

luckily he's being charged else he would have been able to get alimony.

seems this one is going to get messy, the man says he 'walked away' that night, that he is not an abuser of women

sad, sad story. This is one issue I agree with the Catholic Church about, there is a war on the family unit from all sides because it is the foundation of a good society.

In my experience, I have often found out that those who present a 'we-are-so-in-love' face in public are those who have the bigger problems. It seems to me as if the more you are willing to show outside that you are in love the less you guys are truly in love. I may be wrong and if I'm am willing to admit so. But often times I have realised that those who are truly happy have less need to emphasis the fact in public. Happiness just sits on their faces without any effort and they are comfortable in their silences.

When I woman talks endlessly, in public to the earing of all gathered, about how wonderful her spouse is it is often, for me, a sign of something terribly wrong; a sort of longing on her part for acceptance and recognition.

A single or divorced woman, I think, is more productive and beneficial to society than one in a bad marriage or an abused relationship.

Lastly, may we all learn to lower our expectations from ppl a little bit? See, no matter how anointed a person is, he/she is first and foremost a human being and his therefore susceptible to the failings that accompany being human. Whether pastor or not; whether anointing is dripping from the peres on like rain or waterfall; pls know that that person is human and at one point or the other will have failings!

May it please the God of our hearts and understanding to grant that our lives may be happy and fruitful, in spite of the faillings we posses as humans.

They are stil yet to convince me, why are they getting divoprced, ?

What part of domestic violence/physical abuse dont you understand?

I wonder o.
should the woman be certified dead before she's allowed to divorce Bishop weeks

@osisi

She should be certified holy before she can lead herself not to talk of Gods people. The focus is on the Men of God MOG not the word as it affects the People of God POG.

maybe its just me, but i never really look up to men/women of God. people exalt them and put them on a pedestal like they arent human. They have their own problems. they are too busy giving to the parish to give to each other.
My marriage is where ive found happiness,great friendship, security and peace. I will not leave at the drop of a hat. I will not stay at risk to my life either. Its not easy to walk away from a marriage. when a person leaves a marriage its because seriously there's nothing left to salvage.

@debosky,

While your statement in bold is quite true in the social sense, it grossly underestimates what is going on. From a spiritual perspective, we are sure the affront against marriage is nothing but a manifestation of the spirit of the antichrist. I'll explain.

You see, God created marriage mainly to provide a physical representation of the union between Christ and the Church. In other words, every time marriage takes place, 'Christ" is being propagated and mimicked. Now that the full manifestation of that evil one that opposes anything Christ is near, you can expect war on anything and everything that represents Christ - marriage inclusive. The truth is the more the Christ is present, the more difficult the anti-christ can manifest, and that is why we are told in the NT that it will take the taking away of the restrainer before the anti-christ can fully manifest.  That is one of the reasons why I believe every Christian must be raptured for this event to take place - never mind those who preach that your rapture is dependent on your works. Anyway, I digress a little bit but I believe you get my point.

Honestly it's a surprise to me. I'm always blessed by Paula's ministrations. One can't question God, it's already happening.

Truth is the devil is seriously after the family life of xtains (most especially) cos once one makes it in marriage, every other aspect becomes a work over. There's great power when two agree on any issue.

We've got a lot to learn from issues like these and I'll advise we all should try and analyse the lesson learnt. "What, how and the why" of their failure and how we can apply these to our own lives so as to make better marriages.

Truly, it takes God's grace and on our part too all that we can do to make our marriages better.

Good points!

It is well by His grace!

It is unfortunate that most of us blame the devil when things go wrong. Satan can only tempt but has no power to compel any person to do his bidding. Marriage break ups and similar events among believers are a reminder to all of us that every person irrespective of his or her religious standing is subject to the laws of God. Gods laws do not care whether or not you are a pastor, an apostle, a pope etc. If we disobey it, we reap the consequences. Marriage in the sense of the laws of God should be entered upon only on the basis of true love for one another and true love for God. Sucessful marriages are built on true love for one another, spiritual and psychic compartibility between spouses, common goals, selflessness etc. If you truely love your spouse and love God, you will not in thought or deed do things that will hurt your spouse. When love, justice, harmony, compassion, humility, honesty, purity, faithfulness etc are lacking, the marriage will sooner or later collapse. How many pastors have heard time to give themselves to their spouses? When was the last time they paid joyful compliment to their wife or husband? Whatever is your calling, do not neglect your spouse because your work or calling takes all your time, for to do so is to sow seeds for the eventual collapse of your marriage. Finally, a prayerful life is essential to enable the couples to recieve the power to live according to the laws of God. It is not all gloom and doom, there are many successful marriages.

I dont blame those nigerian women first forced to marry those small dick stinky bastards now they want you them too put small meat in there mouth

wow!!! that for Ms. White really shocked me. I love her inspirational show.

That is exactly what it is all about:

1. Human Philosophy aka[b] INSPIRATION[/b]

2. Entertainment SHOW.

I remember the time wen i was also brainwashed . . .i was kinda still uncomfortable about . . .


SO WEN IS THE ACTUALLY BIBLE THUMPING GOING START ONCE THE INSPIRATIONAL SHOW STOPS.

'and warn those (jews, christians and pagans) who say,'GOD has begotten a son'

No knowledge have they of such a thing nor had their fathers, mighty is the word that comes out of their mouths. They utter not but lie'

Mark 10:2 The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.
Mark 10:3 And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"

This is the litmus that even Jesus accepted Moses' laws to be in ful effect, just like what Muhammad (AS) did with the adultery situation in Madina! Now you see why Muhammad and jesus are the same; Messengers, Prophets (AS)? Moses law on marriage and divorce stands.

Mark 10:4 They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her."
Mark 10:5 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

Remember that all of Moses' laws are to remain active, Osisi! Do you then think that Jesus will negate what he himself said is current, Moses laws?

Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'[fn1]]/quote]This is not a convincing reason for remaining married, at all cost and divorce is forbidden in every instance!

Mark 10:7 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

The man leaves the house and move in to the woman's domain? This is weird.

Mark 10:8 'and the two shall become one flesh';[fn2] so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Mark 10:9 "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

Even when both parties are unhappy, even affecting the children and the larger family members? Ridiculous!

Mark 10:10 In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.
Mark 10:11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

Osisi, do you recognise how lowly Jesus put women who at no cost can ever ask for a divorce? You man and woman have to be forced against their will to remain as fake husband and wife, while in their hearts they loot each other, keeping horrible journals, just in case? What kind of religion, worse, God forcing people to remain in marriage against all obvious reasons, lack of love, increased hatred towards the other part, inshort irreconcialiable differences? And interestingly, neither Yahweh nor Jesus was married! Bachelor discussing marriage is in the same line as he being called God, while he says he is a human being, a messenger a prophet. The above verses warrant me saying for the first time; na by force people need to remain together even at peril?

@ topic, there's no point being sad that so-called "children of God" are now divorcing. I know of several christian couples who are living in marital bondage but wont break up because it is "unchristian". To spend countless hours in the "Service of God" to the neglect of our primary constituency (marriage) will not score us brownie points with God.

Now they are not real children but so-called children of God, and they live in bondages, while God could have easily protected the Children from terrible marital conditions. Sorry, they are so-called so its the so called God that is at fault here! Oje di male, kin mue lo ba Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebu Ode of Ijebu land! You will love Ojude Oba after ileya.

Too much prayer, fasting and bible reading that we forget that our partners have emotional and physical needs. What a pity!
I will NEVER consider being a pastor neither will i marry someone who is actively "working in the Lord's vineyard", i wouldnt want my story to end this way.

You will not add to your responsibilities with the highest position in your religion or marry a woman who opt for the highest level of service and commitment? You must really love this Christianity, because in my case, the love I have for Islam will make me volunteer for all that is noble, humbling responsible position like an Imam, or a Muhazzhin, etc. I would not mind a woman who volunteers to teach those she can teach, acting as a role model.

my dear I wish it was false but fox news and NBC plus atlanta journal constitution can't be making these things up.
I love Juanita to pieces.
The annointing in her ministry is incredible.

And she couldnt annoint her marriage? Physician healed thee self? Impossible because they make the worst patients!

In my to do list is to meet her face to face and shake her hands.
I watched the wedding on TV in 2002 and I was moved.
It was the most awesome wedding ceremony.
Their vows were so romantic.

Awesomeness, romanticness, each or both or even others in addition does/do not translate to real love! Be real and stop all these idealistic impossibilities! Its just like the human God thing; lol! Impossible, I tell you. Am going to ignore the wanting to shake hand of the woman.

and after all that?

Even all of that! partnership in fakery will definitely get divorced!

This was not meant to happen.

But it does because no one knows the future. Even Lut (AS) left his disbelieving wife behind to perish along with homosexuals, male and or females.

My miracle is on the way!

When he arrives tell him that almost granpappie is talking about hanging out with him in Aba's major drag on Friday after work in November 2030!
