My Parents Are Worried I’m Engaged to a Pastor

My Parents Are Worried I’m Engaged to a Pastor

Love Life is a Zikoko series on love and relationships. Deborah (30) and Oba (33) met at a bank in 2021. He was everyone’s favourite colleague and later opened up to her during a late-night stay at his family home in Ibadan. Their easy friendship soon turned into something more. Oba left his banking career in early 2023 to become a full-time pastor. They got engaged later that year, but Deborah’s parents remain uneasy about his choice to trade a stable salary for ministry work. Now they’re navigating their upcoming wedding while reassuring her family that pastoral life can provide for their future.

That must be quite the family tension. How did you bring up the idea of marrying a pastor with your parents?

I agree, that tension is real. I chose a calm evening to explain how our shared values made this decision feel right to me.

Honestly, there wasn't a grand announcement. It came up naturally over dinner, more casual than dramatic.

They met at work and deepened their bond during a stay in Ibadan, but mixing romance with ministry can bring unexpected challenges.

I feel people dey overthink this faith thing; if trust and respect are strong, someone's calling shouldn't overshadow the love you two share.

Maybe schedule a calm dinner with your parents and pastor fiancé, let everyone share expectations and find common ground on faith and future plans.
