My marriage…With Isaac Oluwafemi

How did you meet your wife?

I met my wife, Feyishayo, for the first time in 2011 through a mentor, who is like a father figure to me. He invited her to our church at the time.

What attracted you to her?

Her simplicity and amiable moral conduct attracted me to my wife. When I greeted her for the first time, she responded well, and I saw she was humble. I also found out that apart from being educated, she is skilful. These qualities drew me closer to her.

Was the love reciprocated at first, or did it take a while?

Yes, she reciprocated the love because I was the type of man she wanted.

How long did both of you date?

We didn’t date. We got married three months after I proposed to her.

Was money an important factor before you settled down?

Money was not a factor because what would bring the money was in both of us, and we believed in each other.

What was the most memorable event on your wedding day?

The crowd that attended our wedding without a single printed invitation stood out for me.

What lessons has marriage taught you?

Marriage has made us know and understand that two are better than one.

What advice would you give to young people intending to get married?

It would be best if you married your best friend. It’s not just about marrying your lover, but also the person with whom you are very free.
