Reflecting on relationships, Pastor Mensa Otabil disclosed on the Christian Conversation podcast that his commitment to a healthy marriage was a deliberate life decision shaped by discipline and sacrifice.
“I made a resolution very young that I was going to have a good marriage,” he shared. However, he noted that success in marriage does not happen automatically. “It happens by deliberate choices… sometimes adjustment is very painful. It feels like a death to yourself.”
He linked marital success to the Christian principle of self-denial, explaining that resurrection fruit only comes after personal sacrifice. “We want resurrection, but we don’t want to die to self,” he said.
According to him, this mindset applies not only to marriage but to every area of life where long-term fulfilment is desired.
