Love Is The Key —Frank Abraham

The church is not only a place of spiritual solace, it is also a place where one can find love and a good wife, just like Frank Chinedu Abraham did.

You could see love in everything they do the way they talk; the way they smile and the way they look at each other. Everything about them just adapts that four letter word. Abraham and Chinelo attend the same church. That was where and how they first met. "We became acquainted. From becoming acquainted, we became close and closeness led to marriage,” said Chinelo, a graduate of Botany in their tasteful furnished home in Surulere, Lagos.
As they became closer and closer, she discovered some qualities that attracted him to her. "He is committed to the things of God. He is friendly, handsome... He dresses well and to cap it all, he is a nice person.”
Commitment to  things of God was what drew them together, because, that was also the first quality that Abraham  he saw in his wife besides her beauty, gentility and humility.
Satisfied with the attributes that he saw and certain that he had found his lost rib; a soul mate, Abraham followed the custom of most Pentecostal churches: Going to the pastor of your church to make your intentions known to a lady (sister) you want to marry. “That is the laid down process in our church (Christ Embassy.) You have to pass through your leader and pastor before the lady" said Abraham who is a gospel artiste and a businessman. After passing through his leaders in church, he then proposed directly to her by asking the big question, "Would you marry me?”to which Chinelo replied, "Yes, I will marry you.”
The couple courted for a year before walking down the aisle. The head of the new family said that there is a difference between marriage and courtship. "Courtship didn't avail you the time to know the good, the beautiful and the wonderful" he said laughing happily. "That is when you get to know whether your choices are right; it is when you know what you are up against.
this far, the couple whom are gradually settling down to married life said "it has been wonderful and great. When you want to do something you remember that you are married, you stop. For instance, when you go out and you can't come back on time because it is late, you will sleep over. But now that you are married, you won't do anything like that. You just have to come home".
The couple plans to have three children (two boys and a girl.)  Chinelo said that the reason they want to stop at that number is, "We don't want crowd.”
A staff of a pharmaceutical company, Chinelo fondly calls her husband, 'honey' while he calls her, Obidiya (the heart of the husband).
In this era where couple no longer keep their vow of “for better, for worse,’ this couple already has set a goal for their union—to be amongst couples who would be known across the world. To that end, the future has good prospect. “Good and great things are in store for us," he said.
Describing marriage as a way of life and not a job, Abraham said love is the key quality that couples need to have to make their marriage work. "Once you have the key, you can open every other door.”
