Two things pastor regrets in marriage
During the podcast, the Ghanaian resident stated that the first regret is that she wish she met her husband earlier.
Joella disclosed that she married at 19, but was promiscuous when she was younger and maintained she wished she met her hubby earlier.
She spoke highly of her husband, whom she said knows her very well. Her statement partly read:
"I have two regrets. My first regret is I wish I met him earlier.
"Even though I got married at 19, my promiscuous years were 17, 18. I wish I met him earlier. A lot of people say that when you marry young, your brain is not fully developed.
"You are not making the right choices. I don't want to be with anyone apart from him. We have struggled. We have rejoiced. We have our victories. I don't know anyone else that accepts me for who I am. He knows me very well.
"Like, good sides, bad sides..."
Another regret she mentioned was that she wished she had delivered more children for her husband.
She again showered encomiums on her husband, describing him as a fantastic man and a great support system.
"Second regret is that I would have had more children for him if I had the energy to. He's a great father. He is a great support system. He's fantastic. And I am not saying this because of the show, but he is...He is and I let him know. I am proud of our children. I am proud of our home.
"I am grateful because that's why I didn't want to marry when I was young because I don't want a home where there is no father and the mother is doing it all by herself. And God answered that prayer of mine and gave me a great man, attentive to our children.
"My children go to him more than me..."
