Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you are having a good day and are not allowing anyone or thing steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day.
In today's post, I want to share some amazing secrets to having a long lasting union from one of the most respected men I know. He has been a blessing to me and many others I know and I have heard about. He is a father, a husband and an inspiration. I have watched him shine his light amongst youngsters and older people for years and he just keeps shining. I have no doubt the reason he always shines bright is because of his heart of service to others. His no other than my Col. Sam Ahmedu. He is a leader in the Nigerian Basketball Association and also a leader in Africa. I can not express completely how inspired I am by him but I can say that I have seen him help many people and he never stops. I am just thankful to know him.
It is his 35th wedding Anniversary and I asked his permission to share his secrets with my readers all over the world and he humbly agreed. His humility is no surprise to me as I am in awe of how amazing of a father he is to all who have had the privilege to be in his presence. I am so thankful to share his response to my questions. Please read and be inspired.

Col. Sam: 35 years(26, July 1986)
Question: What quality do you love most about your wife?
Col. Sam: Her simplicity, honesty, supports me in all I do and she is a good mother who appreciates family values.
Question: What makes a great home?
Col. Sam: The art of sharing and having trust in one another.
Question: What is the greatest virtue to keep a home?
Col. Sam: Family first above all other things. And keep family problems to yourselves.
Question: Any advise to Younger people?
Col. Sam: Learn to forgive each other, never go to bed without resolving any disagreement and learn to say I am sorry.
Well there you have it everyone. I want to say how thankful I am that Col. Sam took the time to answer my questions. I must say that he is just amazing like that.
May his marriage and union continue to flourish like I know it will in Jesus Name. Amen!
Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Joy!
