What I and my wife do always before bedtime – Pastor Adeboye

In a recent video on YouTube, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye, has offered insight into the longevity of his marriage, advising couples to prioritize reconciliation and communication in their relationships.

Speaking during a church programme, Adeboye reflected on his decades-long union with his wife, emphasizing that one of the key principles sustaining their relationship is the commitment to resolving disagreements promptly.

Whenever anything goes wrong between me and my wife… at least 95 percent of the time I am the wrong one,” he said, drawing laughter from the audience while underscoring humility as a critical factor in marital harmony.

The cleric explained that regardless of the nature of any disagreement, he and his wife make it a point to settle issues before going to sleep. “Before we sleep, we settle,” he stated, highlighting what he described as a non-negotiable rule in their home.

According to him, this practice is not only based on biblical teachings but also rooted in practical wisdom. He referenced scriptural guidance that discourages prolonged anger, noting that unresolved conflict can create deeper issues over time.

Not only because God says you must not allow anger to go down before the sun sets, but there is a bigger reason,” he added, suggesting that maintaining peace strengthens emotional and spiritual bonds within marriage.

Adeboye encouraged married couples to adopt the same approach, describing it as a tested principle backed by decades of personal experience. “If you are married, take my counsel,” he advised.

Reflecting on the duration of his marriage, which began in 1967, Adeboye described his relationship as one that continues to thrive. “By the grace of God, I am still on honeymoon,” he said, attributing this to consistent effort in maintaining peace and understanding.
