The Catholic Church on Sunday, said that periodic hangouts by couples will boost spouses intimacy and enhance marriage stability.

The Church encouraged spouses to indulge in outside the home treats to renew love and bonding in order to avoid marriage instability .

The Church gave the advice during the Catholic Men Organisation’s (CMO) couples feast, held at the Saints Peter and Paul Parish Tedi, Lagos.

The retreat had the theme, “Marriage that Works” which husbands attended the retreat with their wives.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event featured spouses exchange of pleasantries, administered man and woman with gestures and acts that enhance marriage.

The event aimed to commemorate the 2025 Father’s Day, reminded couples the importance of each other’s task in the marriage sacrament.

Speaking at the event, a marriage counselor, Mr Okechukwu Obereagu, described marriage as a “calling with assigned purpose and rules guiding it”.

Obereagu said that marriage was the first institution established by God for human sustainability.

He decried the undoings of couples that threatened the matrimonial union which in several cases led to divorce or separation, advising spouses to reignite bonds with hangouts.

“Pray together as a family to make God the pilot of the marriage journey and family manager.

“As partners made one in the union, always expect imperfection conducts from your partner and do well to absorb such with love.

“Couples should captivate love for each other, know when best to do things that endear you to your spouse and facilitate those regularly.

“Laugh out each others conducts worthy of criticism and refrain from unhealthy arguments. Avoid unhealthy competitions.

“Avoid sleeping separately when there is a friction, one person should activate a healing process to dose off the acrimony within 24 hours,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, the CMO Chaplin, who doubles as the Parish Priest of the Church, Rev Fr. Anthony Thompson, asked fathers to love their wives just as Christ love the Church and gave all to it.

The priest asked the wives to be submissive to their husbands and refrain from life of complaints and do away with attitudes that did not portray them as good Christian mothers.

The chaplain asked the parishioners to live a life of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for the gift of life. He prayed for peace in families and the protection of the children.

A Global Move of God’s Power

At the heart of the Healing Streams Live Healing Services is a divine mandate—to take healing to the nations—a vision championed by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder and president of Loveworld Inc.

With unwavering faith in the authority of God’s Word, Pastor Chris continues to lead a worldwide movement of supernatural healing and transformation.

Speaking on the reality of miracles and the believer’s right to divine health, Pastor Chris passionately affirms:

“Miracles are real, and you will be healed—if only you would just believe! Jesus commanded us to take healing to the nations, and that’s why I say to you, ‘I bring you healing.’ It doesn’t matter where you are watching from or the pain you’re enduring—what matters is that Jesus loves you and wants you well.”

These words are not merely inspirational—they reflect the daily reality experienced by millions through the Healing Streams Live Healing Services. In every edition, the program breaks new ground, reaching people across borders, time zones, languages, and even medical limitations.

Each service offers an enlivening experience, marked by anointed worship, revelatory teachings, fervent intercessory prayer, and direct healing ministrations.

The result? A continuous stream of phenomenal testimonies—from the reversal of terminal diagnoses to the restoration of lives burdened by affliction and lack.

Global Access to Healing: Bridging Language Barriers Worldwide

The Live Healing Services will be streamed live and simultaneously translated into all languages and dialects worldwide, ensuring no language barrier can hinder anyone from accessing the power of God

Viewers can join the services live on Healing Streams TV, all Loveworld networks, and through major terrestrial TV and radio stations worldwide, bringing the transformative power of God directly into homes, communities, and nations everywhere.

Unprecedented Global Preparations

As the edition draws near, a wave of spiritual momentum is sweeping across nations, sparking unparalleled global anticipation and preparation that’s uniting millions in prayer and outreach. From every continent, expectations of faith continue to pour in—each one a reflection of the deep hunger for God’s power and intervention.

Zane from the United States shares his anticipation: “Since Pastor Chris declared that this edition will mark a massive global move of the Spirit like the world has never seen, my expectations have soared—not just for my personal life, but for my entire nation. I’m eager to witness God’s power on a new and higher level during this program.”

Hannah from Namibia expresses her faith: “I am believing God for a divine miracle at this Healing Streams. I know He can heal me from the torment and pain I’ve endured for the past three years. The same God who healed others in the last edition will do it for me, too.”

In response to this collective yearning for divine intervention, a global 24/7 prayer chain is underway on myprayerclouds.org. Through this platform, believers around the world are committing to 15-minute prayer slots, ensuring an unbroken stream of intercession and spiritual preparation in the days leading up to the event.

Alongside the prayer chain, millions are also conducting healing outreaches and crusades using the Healing to the Nations Magazine, taking hope and faith to the sick, the oppressed, and the unreached. These coordinated efforts are transforming communities and building a faith-charged atmosphere ripe for miracles.

You, too, can visit www.prayerclouds.org to select your prayer slot and join believers worldwide in making tremendous power available.

Life-Changing Miracles from the March Edition.

The last edition of the program demonstrated God’s miraculous healing power in spades.

Dmitry Hyon of South Korea endured severe spinal pain across his cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions for over 20 years. Despite years of treatment, surgery was the last resort —a prospect Dmitry hesitated to face. Everything changed when he attended the March edition of the program when Pastor Chris took him by the hand and declared, “He’s free.”  In that moment, Dmitry experienced a powerful surge of God’s healing presence.

Today, Dmitry joyfully testifies: “The headaches are gone. The most important thing is that there is joy in my soul—it fills me. There are no more restrictions, and I can carry out my daily activities without difficulties. Thank you, Pastor Chris. I love you very much.”

Another life forever changed is that of Rinnie from the Solomon Islands, who suffered from ulcers and hypertension for many years. However, during the Healing Streams service, she experienced a profound breakthrough. Rinnie shares:

“As the man of God was ministering to the sick, I received my healing. I felt a sense of calm, and there have been no stomach cramps or heart palpitations ever since

These testimonies represent only a fraction of the countless lives transformed during the program. As this global reign of the gospel of Jesus Christ expands, the impact of God’s healing power remains undeniable, restoring health, renewing hope, and bringing freedom to those in need.

Meanwhile, the count-up is officially underway with the premiere of Season 14 of the Road to Healing Streams Live this weekend. This inspiring daily live broadcast invites viewers worldwide to embark on a spiritual journey filled with faith-building testimonies, miraculous acts, and powerful exhortations, all designed to prepare participants for their moment of divine healing.
