A simple, spontaneous act of kindness by a prominent Nigerian pastor towards his wife has captured the hearts of thousands online, sparking conversations about love, respect, and intentionality in marriage.
A Swift Act of Care on the Altar
The heartwarming incident occurred at a church event held at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA). Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche, the founder of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, was actively ministering on the altar when he noticed his wife, Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche, preparing to descend a steep staircase.
Without a moment's hesitation, the cleric, microphone still in hand, swiftly paused his spiritual duty to rush to his wife's aid. The short clip, shared by an excited Dr. Becky on her Facebook page on January 17, 2026, shows the pastor offering his hand to ensure she alighted safely. Her face visibly lit up with a joyful and appreciative smile in response to his thoughtful gesture.
"My husband Dr. Paul Enenche stepped up to help me down the steep staircase last night at Coza," Becky captioned the post, sharing the intimate moment with their followers.
Netizens Draw Marriage Inspirations
The video quickly trended across social media platforms, with a flood of positive reactions from netizens who were deeply moved by the display of genuine care. Many users extracted profound marriage lessons from the brief interaction, praising the pastor for leading by example.
Comments highlighted the pastor's attentiveness and the effortless nature of the act. One user, Chidinma Ukeoma, noted, "Little things that matter. Being intentional in little things, matter... See how daddy paused to play his husband role, and was not ignorant of her need, even in the midst of a spiritual activity. This right here is a whole sermon."
Another commenter, Simeon Hur-yagba, pointed out the reciprocal nature of such gestures, stating, "Meanwhile if you are a lioness you won't get this treatment o. And if you go about demanding this from a man you won't get it, you simply earn it."
The moment was celebrated as a testament to a lasting and respectful union. User Emmanuel Thankgod wrote, "You both are just so lovely," while Florence Onah-Owobialotu expressed, "This is so beautiful, I saw this love, desired it, admire it, prayed for it and I am living in this reality."
Beyond the Viral Moment: A Glimpse into Their Partnership
This public display of affection is not an isolated incident but appears reflective of the couple's longstanding partnership. Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche is not only the pastor's wife but also a minister and leader in the Dunamis church, often sharing the pulpit and contributing to the ministry's vision.
The viral moment stands in contrast to other recent headlines involving the Enenche family, such as debates sparked by Dr. Becky's past teachings on tithes, where she compared missing a tithe to deleting unsaved computer work. However, the current narrative focuses purely on their personal bond, offering a positive and relatable glimpse into their relationship.
Ultimately, the video serves as a powerful reminder that grand gestures are not always necessary; sometimes, it's the swift, unthinking acts of protection and care that speak volumes about love and mutual respect in a marriage, even under the public eye.
