IT WAS SUNDAY MORNING IN THE CITY of Ibadan. Those were the days God began to lead me to sing Love Songs; something I’d never dreamed of doing nor seen anyone doing. On this Sunday morning, I sang one of my newly recorded Love Songs in a big and highly attended Church, at Samonda, Ibadan. By the time I ended the Song and was about to leave the stage, the Senior Pastor requested me to sing another Love Song. As I consented, the huge congregation hummed with excitement! The second Song was even more impactful!
A few years after, I was in the beautiful city of Enugu. Again it was Sunday morning and I ministered another Love Song. As I was singing, a man stood up and began dancing excitedly and heading towards his Wife to get her to dance with him. There was a lesson for me to learn: Romantic love is always in the hearts of Spouses seeking expression. They only need the right atmosphere with the right ambience to express it
Then it was Sunday again in another Church; this time in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria. I’d planned to sing just one Song, a Love Song for Wives. At the end of my ministration there was some grumbling. What was it? Were the people offended to hear a Love Song? I was completely wrong. The Women wanted more! They wanted me to sing a Love Song for their husbands too. I then sang my song titled: HELLO HUSBAND! Every body was happy.
The next morning at about 8:00, I visited the home of a couple from the last Church. “Hello!” I called out as I stood at their door. “Come in” the husband answered thoughtlessly. I opened the door only to meet the Couple lying on the Sofa, cuddled up in tight embrace and smooching. (They were dressed up, though). When they saw me, all the husband could say was, “Pastor, we’re practicing what you sang to us in the Church yesterday oooh!” I simply said, “YOU’RE RIGHT. PLEASE, GO ON!” and I hurriedly left. Was I happy? Yes,100%! My calling is to turn married couples into PRACTICING MARRIED LOVERS.
From my various experiences, I’ve learnt that many married couples have their romantic and sexual potentials largely bottled up and unused, for so many reasons: ranging from the fear of what their Spouse would think of them, what people will say to shame, shyness, customs, taboos, etc. It’s so painful!
What’s the use in having gifts you can’t freely and fully use? This definitely isn’t the will of God.
Marriage isn’t just about living together under the same roof. You’re not co-tenants. It’s the place for the mature, no-holds-barred amorous companionship of a red-blooded man and a red-blooded woman, because “male and female created He them”!(Genesis 1:27b). It’s the place for the full practice of sacrificial love, romantic love, and sexual intimacy on a concentrated level and continual basis. Bring out the romantic “You” that’s craving to romance and be romanced. Let love be in full bloom!
Yes, you must go “out there” to make the money but don’t forget to once in a while make out time to unwind. Get some anointed Love Song on a CD playing in your Bedroom; and get on your feet together and dance, kiss and give each other affectionate caresses! Yes, “Boogie Down” in love. Dancing together in the bedroom should be a constant part of your marital practice. It isn’t only a good way of spicing up your relationship, it’s also good way to exercise your bodies.
