The official launch was conducted by Pastor Mayokun Oreofe midst a lot of glitz.
According to the author, he was moved to write because ” The greatest need of every relationship is not romance, it is knowledge. How much you enjoy your marriage will be dependent on how much relevant and applicable knowledge has been acquired before you make a lifetime commitment.

“However, knowledge becomes most valuable when it is acquired before it is needed. The best time to get the requisite knowledge for marital success is before you walk down the aisle.

Do you know that marriage is the only institution where you are given a certificate before you write exams?

He spoke further “69% of all divorce is initiated by women. 20% of first marriages end up in divorce. 50% of second marriages end up in divorce. 75% of third marriages end up in divorce. 60% of marriages end up in divorce within 1-3 years. 54.85% of marriages in the US. 46% of marriages in Europe. 54% of marriages in Sweden. At least 60% of marriages in Nigeria end up in one form of separation or the other. The lifespan of the average relationship today is 3-5 months.

“Even though liars use statistics, statistics don’t lie; they reveal to you the current happenings and things that would otherwise have been hidden from you.

Someone once said “A wedding ring is the smallest handcuff ever made, so choose your prison mate carefully and sentence yourself wisely so as to avoid prison break.”

“The fact that two people are living under the same roof does not mean they are living in the same world. Most Nigerians while still in the marriage are simply enduring their relationship and not enjoying it. Many are emotionally frustrated and psychologically cut off from their spouse. Don’t let that happen to you.

“God’s will is that you have a home and also a relationship full of bliss. In this book you will discover practical steps to finding and keeping your dream spouse. If you will receive, embrace and put to practice the truths in this book, I can guarantee you that no demon hatched out of hell can stop you from having a happy home.
