“How do you want to do for her what her father could not do? Stop carrying people’s issues on your head. You cannot be a father to who you did not birth.”
He explained that a man preparing for marriage should understand his role clearly, stressing that being a fiancé does not mean inheriting unresolved family problems or spiritual battles.

“You are a fiancé, not a father. You can’t inherit the demons her father saw and avoided. If she comes to you for school fees and God has blessed you, pay. But if you’re struggling, pray,” he added.
