At a time when marriages are almost packing up as soon as they are formally solemnized, some couples still know how to hold theirs down to stand the test of time.
Mrs Odumuyiwa met her husband three years ago at an IT training center where according to her, Mr Odumuyiwa won her heart by genuinely looking out for her. Knowing that they are meant for each other from the word go, both wasted no time in signing the dotted lines to formalize their blossoming relationship.
It’s been two years of living together as husband and wife and we can tell the love is even stronger than it was when their parts crossed at the IT training center years back.
