Nigerian Catholic priest shares story of man who accused his wife of infidelity after he dreamt about her carrying a mattress on her head

Rev. Fr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu, a Nigerian Catholic priest, recently shared a cautionary tale about the dangers of basing marital decisions on dreams and prophecies.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, January 9, the priest narrated the story of a man who accused his wife of infidelity after dreaming she was carrying a mattress on her head. The man’s mother interpreted the dream as a sign of unfaithfulness, fueling mistrust and frequent conflicts in the marriage.

Ultimately, the couple’s relationship ended due to the constant accusations. Fr. Unegbu emphasized that marriages founded on dreams, revelations, or prophecies often face significant challenges, urging couples to prioritize understanding and mutual trust over such interpretations.

“MARRIAGE AND DREAMS. A young man dreamt about his newly married wife carrying a mattress on her head. In the morning she narrated his dream to his mom, who told him that the meaning of the dream is that his wife is not faithful,” he wrote. 

The husband insisted that his wife must confess to him.

His wife denied the allegation. The drama began.

The drama led to daily quarrels between the young couple.

Today, they are divorced.

This is a story I have been following for over 10 years now. It is a real story.

Those who got their partners through dreams, revelations, and prophecies are likely to have a marriage hanging on the ropes of dreams, revelations, and prophecies.

If you are one of them, may God have mercy on you.

If you married yours by your own assessment and decision, thank your stars as you walk on the Golgotha of marriage.

There is no easy marriage. That is why you must have your eyes wide open while choosing a partner.

Marriage is a human affair. 

Spirits do not marry or organise marriage for humans.

Even the Bible says that heavenly bodies know nothing about marriage.
