How Pastor Blessed Met Mercy Chinwo

Building Trust Through Courtship
One of the key factors in their trusting relationship, according to Pastor Blessed, was the way they conducted themselves during their courtship. He highlighted that many marriages suffer from mistrust because couples often compromise on principles during the courtship phase. “Most of the mistrust we have in marriage now is because when you are supposed to be a priest in courtship, you stained it; that reverence is not there anymore,” he noted.
For Pastor Blessed and Mercy Chinwo, maintaining a high standard of integrity and respect during courtship was crucial. They avoided situations that could lead to mistrust and focused on earning each other’s trust from the beginning. This approach ensured that the reverence they had for each other remained intact, even after marriage.

She will tell you, ‘My husband naah!’ Why? Because of the way we carried ourselves in courtship and my wife is fine,” he said.
This confidence is rooted in the consistent and transparent behavior they both exhibited during their courtship. By establishing a pattern of trust and accountability early on, they created a marriage where suspicion and doubt have no place.
