This book will also show you the 9Rs of Locating and Being Located.

INTRODUCTION TO

SECOND EDITION

I wrote this book while preparing for a seminar for the singles in Tanzania 10 years ago. Since then, I have had several comments and testimonies from the book. People who thought they could not get married, got married; people who were having difficulties in their relationships got repositioned and began to enjoy their relationships; and people who were never asked, Are you married, will you marry me, etc. became the toast of the city.

As all who got the copies valued the content and wished to have more copies to share, we quickly exhausted the printed copies. I have a leading to print more copies – thus the need for this revised edition.

I have tried to maintain the most of the former content. However, I have also added a few new Chapters based on ten additional years of insight into relationships and marriages.

In this edition, we shall be looking at both the enemies of marital bliss and understanding courtship as separate chapters. I have also added the 9Rs of locating and being located.

Read, enjoy, apply and be blessed.

BEFORE WE BEGIN: KEY QUESTION

To our SISTERS: If a brother in your church, department, office, unit or group is currently looking for a wife, will you be his first option? Will he think of marrying you – a single, qualified, beautiful, hardworking and tongue speaking sister – praying daily for a life partner? Will he ask for your hand in marriage and give you the opportunity to say either yes or no?

To our BROTHERS: If you were to ask a sister for marriage, will she out-rightly say no to you or take time to think about it? Is there any sister currently praying to God concerning you, asking that God should touch you to propose to her? Are there people going out of their way to win your attention and desire to hear you ask them that singular question…Will you marry me? Do you possess husband qualities that make a sister see you as Mr Right

If your answer(s) (sisters or brothers) to any of these questions is/are no, you are wrongly POSITIONED and so will need re-positioning. And this could be why God has placed this book right now in your hands. This is your season of total turnaround. This is your gateway to marital blessing

Neither great books nor great meetings make great destiny, but great decisions. Until you are re-positioned, you cannot receive your rightful position in destiny. May the grace to make the needed decisions for proper repositioning be granted you right now in Jesus name.

To you all and my very good friends in Tanzania, I say, asante sana. May my good God and Father bless you all.

MY TESTIMONY

Marriage is a settling phase with responsibility,

not a passing phase. It is a journey into a life

transforming liberty, but with life-long consequences

I got married in Church on April 28, 2001. Before this day, I had paid dowry on February 18 2001 and had a court wedding on April 12th 2001. Prior to these dates, I scheduled for my traditional wedding for November 25th 2000 and Church wedding for December 2nd 2000, but these days were not to be because of in-law issues.

However, the journey to April 28th 2001 began on June 23rd 1999 when I made a call home attempting to speak to the mother of the house. She was not around. The call was received by her daughter who was so charming on phone that I spoke with her for more than 30 minutes on this first day. Thereafter, I called again and again. This was the days before the advent of GSM in Nigeria. Calls were expensive and phones far in-between. But our God made both phone and time available for these calls.

As the calls became more frequent, I was led to ask her on phone (long before I met her or knew what she looked like) if she would marry me. When she said yes, I got worried for the first time. How can I marry a woman I had not seen, nor met? What if she was not what I expected for a wife? I then requested for her pictures. As she was not a photo freak, she sent the ones she had, and I felt they were ugly! I got more scared.

I made a decision to visit and see her. This was to be a decision-making journey – to continue or to stop. Since I did not know her house, I asked my elder sister to take me to their house. When I entered that early
