There is something beautiful about a husband and wife who are not only married to each other but are genuinely friends.
Friendship in marriage is more than laughter, pictures or travelling. It is the deep assurance that, “I have someone with whom I can walk through life; someone who knows me, stands with me, challenges me, prays with me, and will not abandon me when the road becomes difficult.”
The Christian Couples Fellowship (CCF) has entrusted its national leadership to a new team, marking a fresh chapter in the fellowship’s journey while building on the foundation laid by those who served before them.
Marriage is God’s idea, not merely a human arrangement between two people who have fallen in love and decided to build a life together. And because it belongs to God, Professor Modupe Onwochei said, couples must take it seriously. There is, she stressed, no marriage in its truest sense unless it is rooted in God and lived as a Christian marriage.
For three days, the familiar noise and distractions of everyday life gave way to reflection, learning, fellowship and a deeper search for purpose at the Shere Hills Leadership Centre in Jos.
Christian couples must put Christ at the centre of their homes and draw on their spiritual calling to navigate the challenges confronting families in increasingly difficult times, Guest Speaker at the 2026 Christian Couples Fellowship (CCF) Retreat, Reverend Professor P. C. Onwochei, has said.
