"My Spouse, my friend" written by Ingiete Oyama has just made me realise that there's more to marriage than just saying I do. Many are the times we rush into marriage without taking time and analysing what comes after and perceiving it as a happy ever after. We see it as acquiring status and some of us just get into it because everyone else is doing it. Many of us would view it as a bed of roses until we get to see thorns attached to it. Marriage is not all about love; it also comes with respect for one another and the fear of God. It was a sacred institution created by God meaning He is also part of it. God also assigned different roles to the wife and husband which we should familiarise with so as to achieve a successful marriage. It is a teamwork between the husband and the wife thus, both parties should commit 100% to it since they are one flesh and it is no longer about 'I' but 'we'. The book also enlightens us that challenges are an obvious thing in marriage since each of the spouse is created and brought up differently thus opinions are likely to differ. It also explains on how we go about the problems that come their way firstly, by talking to God and secondly, by communicating with each other and expressing their opinions. It also encourages on forgiveness, understanding, godly living , honesty, choosing our friends wisely and embracing change in a positive way so as to avoid disagreements.
I would like to request the writer to also write on relationships of dating couples and how to base their relationships on godly foundations.
My Spouse, my friend contains no profanity whatsoever and is professionally edited. Additionally, the editing team did a good job for flawlessly editing the book. The writer also did a good work by actively engaging the reader with rhetorical questions. She was very straightforward by writing the bare truth which I know will make many realise the real face of marriage. I was also impressed that she used The Bible as reference so that we also know what it says about marriage. I rate My Spouse, my friend 4 out of 4. I also rate it 5 out 5.
