Joseph Osawo, our leader of Freedom5one Africa, has just released a book on Amazon called When Love Grows Up. It is a provocative look at marriage from levels of maturity in both the husband and the wife. The chapter on finances in the marriage is a masterpiece. Highly recommend. The ebook is available now, and the print version will follow soon. Here is a description. Enjoy.
-------------------------------------------------------
For over three decades, I have walked the journey of marriage with my wife, Diana. In that time, I have sat with countless couples who all ask the same thing: why isn’t this easier? What I have discovered is that marriage is a divine mystery that requires more than passion—it requires revelation.
In my book, When Love Grows Up, I want to sit down with you as a friend and fellow traveler to explore the hidden dimensions within us. We often struggle because we are functioning in the wrong stage of maturity. A man can be biologically grown but emotionally stuck in a "boy" dimension that seeks play over responsibility; a woman can be legally married but still operating in a "girl" dimension craving only attention.
Together, we will look at how to:
Embrace Maturity: Shift from the self-focused man or woman into the sacrificial, covenant-focused husband and wife.
Find Synergy in Submission: Move past the misunderstanding of this word to see it as a natural flow of love and structural alignment.
Steward Your Finances: Identify how different dimensions—from the reckless "boy" to the legacy-minded "father"—shape your financial peace.
My prayer is that this book serves as a companion to help you stop fighting the person and start fighting the immaturity. Let us grow together into the fullness of God’s design.
