Marriage requires patience. Anyone who is going into marriage should be patient enough over what his or her partner is doing.

The ceremony held weekend at the auditorium of the Christian Reformed Church of Nigeria (CRCN), local church council (lcc) Abuja Phase II Jalingo, the man of God said marriage also requires love, respect and tolerance.
Speaking on the topic, “Marriage” the Clergy took his text from Genesis 2:18-23 where God said, it is not good for a man to be alone.
According to him, after creation, God said that everything created was good. On coming to man, God discovered that man was alone and He said, ‘it’s not good for a man to be alone’. God therefore caused a deep sleep on man, removed one of his ribs which he used to create the woman.
The Clergy further noted with joy God’s statement that whosoever finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favour from the lord. He therefore advised John to love, defend his wife, while Sandra should also respect, submit to her husband. “In doing so, ‘you will build a happy and successful home’.
Speaking in an interview shortly, Mr. John Dantala, staff of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Taraba State command, Jalingo expressed happiness over the success of his wedding.
He described the day as his and pledged to love, provide among other pieces of advice pronounced by the man of God. Mrs. Sandra, John’s wife also thanked God for actualising her wedding solemnization with John. She described the husband as a nice man and prayed God to bless and keep them together.
Mrs. Haruna Kwetishe, John’s senior sister said, “We are here today, at CRCN, Abuja Phase II for the wedding of my younger brother, John Hamza.
