My marriage… With Pastor Owolabi Ademola

Pastor Owolabi Ademola shared his personal journey of marriage with journalist Chijioke Iremeka. Born in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Pastor Ademola completed his education at various institutions, including the West African Portland Cement Training School, Ondo State Polytechnic, and Olabisi Onabanjo University. He is also a Certified Protection Officer and holds a Master’s Degree and PhD in Theology.

Pastor Ademola met his wife, Mrs Owolabi B. B., at the university during their third year. Initially acquaintances, their relationship gradually deepened and eventually led to marriage after 19 years of being together. When proposing, Mrs Ademola was delighted, and her mother consented despite her father's passing. The couple has three children: two girls and a boy.

For Pastor Ademola, prayer, seeking God's will, and staying committed to their vows were key to their enduring marriage. His advice to young couples is to put God first in their relationship, communicate openly, respect and forgive each other, and remain committed, especially during difficult times.
