“They told us to take like five months off speaking to each other. No phone calls, no texts, nothing, nothing, because they wanted to make sure that it wasn’t because we were close,” Abbey recalled.
The period was not easy for the couple.

Abbey said they eventually relied on a mutual intermediary to find out how the other person was doing.
“I will say, ‘How is he doing?’” she recalled, leaving the audience laughing.
The singer said they refused to take further steps until they received permission from their spiritual leaders.
She also recounted travelling to Jos to meet Pastor Emmanuel, who asked her about her convictions concerning the relationship.
Reflecting on the journey, Abbey expressed gratitude for the guidance they received, saying they were helped by God throughout the process.
