A Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu, recently shared a cautionary story about a marriage that fell apart after the husband accused his wife of infidelity due to a dream. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a Facebook post on Thursday, January 9, Fr. Unegbu warned against relying on dreams or prophecies when making relationship decisions. He recounted how a man, after dreaming that his wife was carrying a mattress on her head, was convinced she was unfaithful. His mother, interpreting the dream, further fueled his suspicion, leading to ongoing arguments and eventually the collapse of the marriage.
Fr. Unegbu emphasized that building relationships or making marital decisions based on dreams, visions, or prophecies can often create a foundation of mistrust and suspicion. He cautioned against letting such beliefs influence marriage decisions, as they can lead to unnecessary conflict.
He concluded his message by stressing the importance of making marital decisions with clear judgment, acknowledging that marriage is a human endeavor and not something determined by supernatural forces.
“Marriage is a human matter. Spirits do not marry or arrange marriages for humans. Even the Bible says that heavenly bodies are unaware of marriage,” Fr. Unegbu remarked.
