Reactions: Marriage dey humble person
Netizens were really interested in what she said and some started giving their own experiences, here are some comments:
@ugbo_victoria: I believe marriage was instituted to help build our character and become better Christians. Whoever isn’t ready to be a better person, shouldn’t think of marriage at all.
@owoeyefemi: Marriage dey humble person.In the first few months of being married, I cannot count the number of times I declared “I am the righteousness of God in Christ” 🤣🤣. But it’s beautiful, seeing how much Christ loves us.
@gloryabahmogbo: Marriage will show you who you are. You think you are kind and nice and oh so forgiving? That one is easy with outsiders oh. Marriage will show you that you have no patience. But growth is constant and realization means you’re ready to be better.
@DrETPeters: It’s a humbling experience having your every flaw suddenly so clear to see 😅
But love and patience helps us all – God’s got you both as you grow

One of the ways we do this is to delve into the deep commitment we call ‘Marriage’.
