Gospel musician and wife of renowned preacher Bishop Daniel Obinim, Florence Obinim, has opened up about the challenges in her marriage, stating that she is prepared for a divorce if her husband decides to end their union.
Speaking candidly about the situation, Florence revealed that despite her efforts and sacrifices over the years, she feels her husband does not fully appreciate the kind of woman she is.
“If he’s ready for a divorce, then I’m also ready. What will take me away from this life is something I won’t do,” she stated.
According to her, she has done everything within her power to maintain peace and understanding in their marriage, but believes there is little more she can do.
“The way I humbled myself for Bishop, and he still doesn’t know the woman I am… let God’s will be done. I don’t have any further steps to take,” she said.
Mrs. Obinim disclosed that she once had a heartfelt conversation with her husband in an attempt to address their differences and suggested that they seek God’s guidance and pray for understanding rather than continue to struggle with unresolved issues.
“Some time ago, I sat down with him and told him I don’t want to disturb him in any form. We have been married for a long time, so let’s pray for understanding from God or let God’s will be done. If you are expecting a lot from me after all I’ve done for you, then I can’t do it. What will take my life from this earth is what I can’t do anymore because I don’t know exactly what you want from me again,” she explained.
The gospel singer also indicated that she has remained silent about many issues for the sake of peace but hinted that there are things she could reveal if she chose to speak openly.
“I usually choose to remain silent because if I were to speak about certain issues, it might not end well. As human beings, we must be resilient and prioritize our well-being. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbours as ourselves, it didn’t say love your neighbour and hate yourself,” she stated.
She further stressed that she would respect her husband’s decision if he no longer sees her as the right partner for him.
“If Bishop thinks I am not okay for him and I’m not good for him and he wants to leave, that’s fair enough,” she said.
She concluded by urging some of Bishop Obinim’s junior pastors to remember him in their prayers.
“I only wish his junior pastors would remember him in their prayers,” she concluded.
