Gospel singer Abbey Ojomu has opened up about the unusual courtship process she and her husband underwent before marriage, revealing that their spiritual fathers instructed them to cease all communication for five months. Speaking during a church event, Abbey disclosed that the period was intended to test whether their decision to marry was rooted in genuine conviction rather than emotional attachment.
No Phone Calls, No Texts for Five Months
According to the singer, after expressing their desire to marry, the couple submitted their relationship to their spiritual leaders. The leaders then gave them a surprising directive: stop speaking to each other entirely. “They told us to take like five months off speaking to each other. No phone calls, no texts, nothing, nothing, because they wanted to make sure that it wasn’t because we were close,” Abbey recalled.
The ban on direct communication was not easy for the couple. Abbey said they relied on a mutual intermediary to check on each other. “I will say, ‘How is he doing?’” she recounted, drawing laughter from the audience. The singer emphasized that they refused to take further steps until they received permission from their spiritual leaders.
Gratitude for Spiritual Guidance
Abbey also recounted traveling to Jos to meet Pastor Emmanuel, who asked about her convictions regarding the relationship. Reflecting on the journey, she expressed gratitude for the guidance they received, stating that they were helped by God throughout the process.
The revelation sparked reactions on social media. User @healthyselfwellnessplace advised: “When you marry, just first enter house first and focus on building your new home. Leave microphone, leave testimony, leave teaching, just enter house first, you see that 5 months both of you wasted a part in courtship, make the 5 months useful now by focusing on building your marriage and disengage from all these talks and advice.” Another user, @iam_deranick, commented: “Nawa o!
