Mrs. Laurie Idahosa revealed she moved out from her Parent\u2019s house at 17 to be independent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA woman should be independent before marriage. In the Bible, Proverbs 31 woman is one very hardworking woman..doing remarkable things, overseeing things\u2026doing something\u2026so a woman shouldn\u2019t wait till she is married before stepping into her calling and destiny.<br \/>Once you are an adult, there is nothing wrong with you stepping out to navigate the destined part of your life, young adult women should have the freedom to explore life, business, opportunities, and dreams.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t believe a lady should stay in her father\u2019s house till marriage, a responsible young adult should take responsibility, sometimes you get married, and it\u2019s not exactly what you thought it was going to be. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She further reiterated her point saying \u201cWhen sending a woman to her husband\u2019s wife, she should be an asset not a liability, she should have networks and more\u2026she needs time to become\u2026.so as to avoid stories or situations like\u2019, \u2018my dad took care of me and now my husband should too\u2019\u2026 she should add ue to her husband and not just be dependent on him. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>));\/**\/<\/script><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop Febi Idahosa, a Nigerian Pastor, the\u00a0Bishop\u00a0of Church of God Mission International Headquarters\u00a0who is happily married to Laurie Idahosa has recounted how he lost his first son while giving a sermon of hope to his Instagram followers earlier today, January 20, 2022.
