Stay Away From Divorced Friends” – Ibiyeomie’s Wife Cautions Married Women

According to Ireporter Online, Pastor Peace Ibiyeomie, wife of David Ibiyeomie, has advised married women to be mindful of the kind of relationships they keep, urging them to avoid close friendships with divorced women.

She gave the counsel during a Mother’s Day service held at Salvation Ministries in Rivers State, where she cautioned that some divorced women tend to speak negatively about marriage while still engaging in secret romantic relationships.

The cleric warned that such influence could negatively affect married women, saying that some divorced individuals discourage marriage publicly but act differently in private.

“Do not follow a divorcee as your friend, even if she is your sister. Teach her, either she reconciles with her husband, or she remarries,” she said.

She further alleged that some of them claim men are not important, while still maintaining hidden affairs. “She will tell you that men are not important, but meanwhile, she goes behind your back to have affairs with men. I have seen so many examples,” she added.

Ibiyeomie also questioned the consistency of such behaviour, noting the contradiction between words and actions regarding relationships with men.

“They keep saying the man is not important. If he is not important, why are you sleeping with him? So stay on your own if you say a man is not important,” she stated.

She cautioned women who have experienced broken marriages not to influence others negatively, stressing that personal experiences should not be used to damage other unions.

“That your marriage is broken does not mean you should break another person’s marriage,” she said.

She concluded by advising women to be intentional about their associations, adding that friendships could either uplift or destroy them, and encouraged them to leave behind a positive legacy.
