No one saw this coming, but when she sat down for an interview with a society magazine, gospel singer Lara George revealed that though she has been married for 10 years, there was a time when she nearly quit her marriage, because of marital pressure. The saving grace, she said, was turning to her pastor for counseling.

“There were many times like that. We have had our fair share. I remember a time we weren’t talking to each other. It got really serious I had to call my pastor that I was fed up with my marriage. I can remember that my pastor was not around then but he spoke to my husband and things were sorted out. I am glad my husband allowed someone he sees as a mentor to step into the situation,” she said

Speaking about challenges she has faced in her marital life, George said understanding each other has been a major challenge for her.

“Understanding one another has been a challenge for me. When you are going out as boyfriend and girlfriend, you will think you have known everything about the person until you get married to the person. It is not as if I don’t understand him, but there are different types of communication and understanding. When communication is complete, it means we have completed the journey. So the journey is still on, we are learning to understand each other daily,” she said.
