A Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu, has shared a cautionary tale about a marriage that collapsed due to a dream-induced accusation of cheating.
The priest narrated the story in a Facebook post on Thursday, January 9, highlighting the dangers of relying on dreams and prophecies in relationships.
According to Fr. Unegbu, a man accused his wife of being unfaithful after dreaming that she was carrying a mattress on her head.
The man’s mother interpreted the dream as a sign of the wife’s infidelity, leading to persistent fights and conflict in the marriage. Ultimately, the union crumbled under the weight of the accusations.
Fr. Unegbu used the incident to warn against building relationships or making marital decisions based on dreams, revelations, or prophecies. He argued that such practices often lead to troubled marriages, as they create a foundation of suspicion and mistrust.
How a husband’s ‘dream of wife cheating’ crashed a marriage
“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.
”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.”
