Figuring Out Marriage | Mopelola Ajegbile on Why Self-Growth Comes First

In this first episode of Figuring Life Out, I sit down with my wife, Mopelola Ajegbile, to take a walk down a 5-year memory lane leading up to our meeting and getting married just 9 months later. We explore the importance of personal growth before marriage and how hearing from God and obeying His guidance shaped our journey. Through candid reflections on our individual growth, we discuss how focusing on ourselves—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—helped lay the foundation for a strong, healthy relationship. We also share how faith and trusting God’s voice played a pivotal role in our decisions, offering practical advice for anyone on the path to marriage. Whether you’re single, dating, or engaged, this episode will inspire you to prioritize becoming the best version of yourself while trusting God through the process of love and life.

Enjoy 🙂
