Hello, Pls I need your advice! I have been in this relationship for close to 4 years now and we are both christians and intend to get married. But there is this challenge of kissing and romance which I know is wrong. We have decided several times not to go into it again but it keeps happening. What do I do? Should I leave the relationship or keep struggling?

I was ignorant


Location: Lag Nig
Age: Above 20
Gender: Female

I surrendered totally to God. I was made one of the executives in a smaller arm of the fellowship and a brother who was in a year ahead showed interest in my welfare. He would ask me questions, teach me from the bible and tell me a lot of things I don’t know. We became friends and in my 200 level break, he was always checking on me and would always call or send messages. I felt uncomfortable at first but he would always mention a particular word and when I asked him he would say 'I know you feel it too' 

I was getting some signals but I still insisted he told me exactly. Then, he quoted the scripture where Samson tied the foxes’ tail to tail and sent them to the camp of the Philistines and also that Jesus sent his disciples in pairs. I was getting more confused and he refused to say anything further. I was also afraid of telling anyone because he was well respected in the fellowship. He is intelligent and he has a vast knowledge of the Bible. Many people in the fellowship thought we have something together and I noticed some brothers were keeping their distance from me. I got close to a brother recently and he showed some resentments. He also has a lot of female friends, some of whom have been unfriendly to me since I became friends with him. There is this one especially that used to be close to him. She suddenly started hiding things from me. 

Sometimes, I would ask her who she was waiting for if I saw her around our fellowship venue and she would say nothing, only for me to find out that she has been waiting for this particular brother. I like him very much especially because he is intelligent but I am angry because I feel he is being insincere with me. Now I am more enlightened about Christian courtship. My issue is I am more angered because close to d time of his handing over as executive, he told me that what he had been trying to tell me was that I should not resist the impression of the Holy Spirit in calling me to the executives. I felt humiliated. I tried to cover the hurt and we still remained friends though we quarrelled a couple of times. 

He talks without caution sometimes and he says things I don’t understand and he never explained. I really will appreciate if he told me exactly what he was driving at because I knew he proposed but I need him to be clearer. I have talked to God about it, but he has confused me so I am not sure of what I am hearing. I am ready to forgive him totally if he tells me exactly what he meant. Also, he is ahead of me but I am a year older than him. I just want to know if he is meant for me with all this I have listed. 

We talked about age and marriage once and he asked that what would I do if he asked me out; he cut me short before I said much. Please, help. I am trying to get myself to heal from the hurt if eventually we depart without him saying anything or he marries someone else. I just need him to tell me clearly because he knows he is not telling me the truth. I have developed a resistance to brothers since I truly love this particular brother. Thanks

What if I am older than him?

Location: Cross River, Nigeria

Age: Above 20

Gender: Female


Is it good to marry a man you are one year older than? And if yes, How will the couple cope with friends and family members who frowns at such? And wont it cause an altercation in the marriage and finally how will the wife celebrate her birthday without letting people know? Thank you

She does not talk! What should I do?

Location: Lagos Nig

Age: Above 20

Gender: Male


I've been in this relationship for 3 years now. Though we've been able to maintain chastity even till now,its like I have just known her some few months. I'm saying this because she rarely talk when we talk on phone,even at times when we are together,I do all the gist and she seldom gives response. Though I've tried every possible ways to help develop our communication since it's an essential part of our relationship, it still doesn't work. One other thing I observe about her is that she's always free with her friends even when I'm there. This only occurs when she's with me.I love her so much that I have decided to stick with only her till we get married but I still don't understand why we cant talk. What should I do?
