Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Ex-Wife, Pastor Anita, Writes About A Couple and A Dead Marriage | MUST READ
The ex-wife of the founder of Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Pastor Anita took to her blog to write about the experience of ‘a couple’ faced with the reality of their dead marriage in which the wife spends many years longing for a change while enduring a dead relationship.
The blog post has now gone viral for some reason.
Recall that on April 9, 2014, pastor Anita filed for divorce from her pastor husband at the Central Family Court in London, citing “unreasonable behavior” and “inappropriate relationships with others” as her reasons for wanting to end their 25-year marriage. The divorce was finalized in February 2016 and the two now share custody of their two grown children, Sharon and Charlene.
Beyond the surface information on their divorce,not so much is known about the motives and exact events that led up to the split of the much revered couple. Not knowing exactly what those events are appears to be hard to ignore for their followers , so now, Anita’s post of a woman waiting in silence for some revival in a dead marriage has garnered interest from social media users who wonder if the mum-of-two is trying to suggest what caused her marriage to fail.

Happy Anniversary to the best couple in the world
Wife: Hello
Husband: How are you?
Wife: I am good. How is your day?
Husband: Good
Wife: Today is our anniversary. Happy Anniversary.
Husband: Happy anniversary.
Wife: I noticed many greetings on social media wishing us a happy anniversary. I find it confusing to read comments from your close friends saying “ best couple in the world”; it sounds like a complete joke, when they know we rarely see each other. We see each other at most ten days in a year; I can’t understand their reason for making this comment, such flattery. It is confusing to me.
Husband: Well, at least they sent their greetings.
Wife: Their greetings are on social media, no contact by text or by email.
Husband: Silence
Wife: Hello
Husband: Yes
Wife: I sometimes wonder if we are married. There is nothing more to this relationship to indicate we are married apart from a ring on my finger; the ring is another story and our pictures are interjected because we are rarely together to take a proper picture. I feel sad that we are not together.
Husband: Look, I have told you over and over again that we cannot live in the same country because we are very busy and one country is too small for both of us. I expect you should be able to figure that out.
Wife: One country is too small for us?
Husband: Yes and you keep coming back to ask the same question.
Wife: Okay. Since you don’t often call either, please call the children, at least once a month. They go on for months without speaking with you. I noticed they don’t seem to care anymore.
Husband: Okay
Wife: That is about all.
Husband: Silence (breathing sound)
Wife: Have a beautiful day.
Husband: Silence (breathing sound)
Wife: Bye
Husband: Silence (breathing sound)
Wife: Hello
Husband: Silence (Goes off the Phone)
Wife: Okay
Facing the reality of a dead marriage, where a spouse spends many years of endless hope in anticipation for a change, enduring a relationship that is bereft of life. Believe it or not, this was somebody’s experience and is another person’s state of affair.
There is so much in life to be enjoyed.
