  Segment: Singleness Is a GIFT - Not a Problem to Fix 02.11.2026 9m

  You can do everything right. You can love someone with everything in you. But if you don't understand that the adhesive holding your relationship together is not your love for each other but your individual obedience to God, if you don't cultivate your partner the way you tend to a flower, and if you're not intentional about leaning into softness while doing the hard parts, you'll miss the foundation that makes everything else work. In this deeply personal, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kojo Nganue, curator at One Man Thousand, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to build a marriage that lasts, why love alone is never enough, and the uncomfortable truth that cultivation means taking care of your partner like a plant so they can lean into their softness while you do the hard parts. Kojo holds nothing back. He breaks down why the problem with his past relationships was not that the women didn't embody his ideal but that individually they were not in pursuit of the adhesive, why he relied on his own willpower which depletes instead of trusting somebody who is omniscient and omnipresent, and the one thing that finally clicked: his obedience to God. He reveals why it took two years before he could pop the question because he had to meet her father who is a big man he admired even before he knew his daughter, how he spoke to his brother his dad and her aunt before approaching him and when they finally met they talked for an hour and a half, and the moment he realized that his love for his woman cannot be compared to the love God has for him or for her but as long as their love is a subset of God's love for them they are sustained. He also explains why cultivation means taking care of you like a plant like a flower, how being stronger than you means he can nurture you protect you and do things you could have done on your own so you can lean into your softness, and the one thing every man needs to understand: the thing that keeps him in check is not his love for his woman but his love for God and his faithfulness to him. This isn't just relationship advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why arranged marriages work because there's an ideal higher than the love they have for each other and they work towards that and more often than not they now start to love each other, why love for love's sake is great but the unfortunate thing is how do you define that love is it based on your feelings or what he's doing or how he spoke to you today, and how when these things are taken away will the love abide. Kojo dives into why the focus has to be one whether there's a God factor or no God factor there has to be something that they're both going for, how so far as they agree it will work because if two people can agree they'll be together, and the uncomfortable reality that the actual nurturing place is right here and if you can move this to any part of the world you can reproduce what you've reproduced. He also tackles why being single is a gift and marriage is a gift and either of them are states so this one is not an aspiration to this neither is this one an aspiration to this, how the five daughters of Zelophehad stood up for themselves as single individual women and changed the law of Israel on their own as single people, and the one thing every person needs to know: by yourself you can build your own things by yourself you're sustainable you can actually be independent as long as your dependence is from God. If you're in a relationship, wondering whether love is enough to hold you together, or asking yourself how to cultivate your partner the way God cultivates you, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop relying on your own willpower and start building a relationship where both of you pursue God first and let your love be a subset of God's love for you.

  Segment: Communication and Transparency KEEPS The Home 01.11.2026 10m

  You can do everything right. You can work hard, provide for your family, and show up every single day. But if you don't understand that relationships are not a sprint but a marathon, if you don't communicate clearly about who does what, and if you're not intentional about keeping romance alive within your limitations, you'll miss the foundation that holds everything together. In this deeply personal, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kailash, a business leader with 26 years of marriage experience, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to sustain a marriage, why one parent staying home to shape the children's character is critical, and the uncomfortable truth that romance is in your mind and you can organize your life systematically no matter how much money you make. Kailash holds nothing back. He breaks down why after marriage both he and his wife were working because she felt what would she do sitting at home with house help and everything, why when the children started going to school they strongly believed one parent should be there to shape their character, and the one thing most people refuse to accept: children learn whatever they see and when the mother is there she rectifies mistakes like when the child misbehaves with the house girl and says no she's your auntie you cannot talk like that. He reveals why every class of people deserves respect irrespective of which class you belong to, how he always feels that whoever earns his own living deserves respect because he doesn't become a burden on somebody, and the moment you realize that you cannot respect someone depending on money because every individual has a respect. He also explains why romance is in your mind, how some people think after three or four years romance dies and they get involved with their children and fulfilling family requirements, and the one thing every couple needs to understand: you can organize your life in a more systematic way because even billionaires have their own problems. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why you don't need to fly to USA or UK or Bahamas when you can travel to Akosombo with your family, why thinking that holidays or movies or restaurants are not for you because it's for a certain class of people doesn't work with children, and how you can move forward keeping pace with the world within your limitations without shutting all the doors and saying I cannot do this because I'm low salary. Kailash dives into why most relationships get bad because there's always a lack of communication, how however bad the situation is you must communicate because if your children are going and you feel the money you're earning is not enough you sit down and talk to them and they understand, and the uncomfortable reality that the more you take your children into confidence the more they respect you because they know you always speak to them frankly and surrender yourself with your strengths and weaknesses. He also tackles why you don't bluff your children by saying I'll take you to KFC next week and then call from outside saying sorry I got stuck in traffic, how if you grow your children with confidence sharing your tough times and taking them to your office they get so attached that even when they leave because of work they'll make one or two calls every day to find out how you're doing, and the one thing every parent needs to do: keep things transparent and tell your children I cannot send you to this expensive school but I can send you to this school and hard work is in your hand. If you're married, wondering whether romance dies after a few years, or asking yourself how to keep your relationship strong while raising children and working within your limitations, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop thinking relationships are a sprint and start building a marathon where you communicate clearly, organize your life systematically, and take your children into confidence so they respect you and stay connected even when they leave.

  Segment: Submission Is NOT Tyranny 31.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can pursue God with everything in you. But if you don't understand that the adhesive holding your relationship together is not your love for each other but your individual obedience to God, you'll miss the foundation that makes everything else work. In this deeply personal, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with a young man who has finally cracked the code to relationships, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to build a marriage that lasts, why love alone is never enough, and the uncomfortable truth that God interrupted Adam with Eve the same way he interrupts every man who is consumed with pursuing him first. This guest holds nothing back. He breaks down why the problem with his past relationships was not that the women didn't embody his ideal but that individually they were not in pursuit of the adhesive, why he relied on his own willpower which depletes instead of trusting somebody who is omniscient and omnipresent, and the one thing that finally clicked: his obedience to God. He reveals why he's been dating since GSS and struggled with youthful exuberance and adolescence and seeking satisfaction, how the difference now is that he trusts God who has the best eye view of what this looks like and follows as he leads, and the moment he realized that his love for his woman cannot be compared to the love God has for him or for her but as long as their love is a subset of God's love for them they are sustained. He also explains why it took two years before he could pop the question because he had to meet her father who is a big man he admired even before he knew his daughter, how he spoke to his brother his dad and her aunt before approaching him and when they finally met they talked for an hour and a half, and the one thing every man needs to understand: the thing that keeps him in check is not his love for his woman but his love for God and his faithfulness to him. This isn't just relationship advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why bad egg bad egg makes a bad omelet but good egg good egg makes a good omelet, why it's not the institution of marriage that's the problem but the individuals who come together in that institution, and how the first Adam and Eve made in the image of God were in pursuit of God until they lost that pursuit and started pursuing each other instead. He dives into why Jesus protects his bride with vengeance and says if anybody comes against his church it is better to tie his neck to a stone and drown in the sea, how the word Ezer means God is not just giving you an ally but giving you himself, and the uncomfortable reality that submission is not tyranny or dictatorship but mirroring how God deals with us because the Holy Spirit is gentle and coaxes us and shows us the way without being forceful. He also tackles why the hierarchy of the home says the man is submitted to Christ and the woman is submitted to the man, how Christ deals with the man the way the man is supposed to deal with the wife, and the one thing every couple needs to accept: love is not enough because the standard is not your love for each other but your obedience to God who keeps you in check. If you're in a relationship, wondering whether love is enough to hold you together, or asking yourself how to maintain your love for your wife in obedience to God, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop relying on your own willpower and start building a relationship where both of you pursue God first and let him interrupt you with each other. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.

  Segment: Two Heads CAN'T Lead a Home - But TWO Strengths Can 30.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can quote scripture. You can understand what it means to be the head of your home. But if you don't understand that leadership is not about controlling everything, if you don't submit to your partner's strengths, and if you're not intentional about cultivating your woman the way God cultivates you, you'll miss the foundation that holds everything together. In this deeply personal, beautifully vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with a young man who is redefining what it means to be a godly leader in a relationship, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to build a marriage that lasts, why submission goes both ways, and the uncomfortable truth that two heads cannot lead a home but a clear leader means leaning on each other's strengths and letting your partner lead where you are weak. This guest holds nothing back. He breaks down why submission is not about being beneath someone but about recognizing somebody who can do things that you cannot, why he submits to his woman's financial wisdom because she is a whiz and he is an artist who needed to learn, and the one thing most men refuse to accept: when you recognize your weakness and allow your partner to lead in that area you gain strength because you submitted to wisdom. He reveals why the way God deals with him is the way he deals with her, how God cultivates him and teaches him and pushes him to write and tells him to work out and eat right, and the moment you realize that loving your wife as Christ loved the church means cultivating her and reminding her that God has not given her the spirit of fear but of power and boldness and love. He also explains why when she starts a new role and wonders how to go about it he reminds her that they did this exact thing six months ago and God showed her he was faithful, how worst case scenario he is also there to remind her how they went about it on day one, and the one thing every man needs to understand: she submits to him when it comes to everything else but he submits to her when it comes to finances because that is her strength. This isn't just relationship advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why individual relationships with God must come before the relationship with each other, why he struggled with pornography and lust for years until God helped him deal with it through celibacy and keeping his temple away from sexual immorality, and how making that clear from the jump means past relationships did not work because the other person did not have the same values but today they don't have that problem because this person has the same values as he does. He dives into why he has two rules in his relationship: tell the truth and at least don't lie, how these rules make them communicate clearly because when there's a problem she cannot say it's fine because that's a lie, and the uncomfortable reality that the least don't lie part means there are some things privy to you that your partner cannot know like when you're a counselor and have conversations with people but the tell the truth part removes everything else from the relationship. He also tackles why the Holy Spirit whispers to him to do romantic things and he does them and she asks how did you know and he says the Holy Spirit told me, how he documents with precision every single thing she tells him that she wants or loves or is interested in because his memory is bad and he remembers the last thing he remembers not the thing itself, and the one thing every man needs to do: have particular days where you have dates even in a long distance relationship because she's just a girl who is a financial whiz and she has to be loved. If you're in a relationship, wondering whether submission means being beneath someone, or asking yourself how to love your woman as Christ loved the church, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop trying to control everything and start building a relationship where both of you lean on each other's strengths and cultivate each other the way God cultivates you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.

  Segment: If He Can't Handle Your Worst, He Doesn't DESERVE Your Best 29.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can love your spouse with everything in you. But if you don't understand that marriage is more than just love, if you don't protect the first year from external interference, and if you're not intentional about teaching your daughters how they deserve to be loved, you'll miss the foundation that holds everything together. In this deeply insightful, beautifully vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with John Michael, social worker and development consultant, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to build a marriage that lasts, why the first year of marriage should be just the two of you with no family interference, and the uncomfortable truth that if you're a father who is absent in your daughters' lives they will accept any kind of love from any man because you never taught them what real love looks like. John Michael holds nothing back. He breaks down why the first year of marriage should be just the two of you because you need to get to know each other without external parties bringing their opinions and turning your private issues into family discussions, why eight out of ten couples who survive the first year survive the rest of the years, and the one thing most couples refuse to accept: when children come they disrupt everything and turn your world either the right side up or the right side down. He reveals why his father who is a Reverend Minister said he doesn't understand why young couples go on honeymoon because by the time they marry they've already eaten all the honey, how some people got married because they got pregnant and trying to put a timeline on when to have children is weird, and the moment you realize that ideally the best time to have children is in your 20s when a woman's body is young and she heals quickly. He also explains why if you have children in your 20s by the time you're 40 you look like you've never had kids and men are asking is that your girlfriend and you say that's my wife, how waiting until your mid 30s means you should start working towards having children immediately because what are you waiting for, and the one thing every couple needs to prepare for: the first year becomes complicated when you're dealing with a woman waking up in the middle of the night telling you she wants to eat okra and you don't have okra at home or she wants KFC at 2 a.m. and you have to find it. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why emotional intelligence is about developing a habit of reflection so you can think about what happened and what you did that added to it and what you could have done differently, why the trick is to have these conversations constantly with yourself because this is how you grow and evolve, and how being an involved father means showing up for school recitals and open days and serving as PTA chairman twice because parenting doesn't stop at paying school fees. John Michael dives into why he made his wife cry the only time he remembers when she couldn't reverse the manual car and he kept repeating himself and got flustered because repeating himself is one of his triggers, how he had to sit down and reflect and make a conscious effort to communicate without escalating the situation, and the uncomfortable reality that when he started having kids he realized he was a lot more patient than he thought and learned to teach children to self soothe by letting them cry for 30 minutes until they realized crying won't make him pick them up. He also tackles why he refused to read any books on raising children because white people writing about their white child doesn't mean his black child will do the same thing, how he wanted to write his own child's book and learn how to raise his child uniquely, and the one thing every father needs to understand: your role is not just to mentor your sons but to teach your daughters how they should feel love because when they meet men they're going to judge how they treat them by how you treat them. If you're married, wondering whether love alone is enough, or asking yourself how to be an involved father who teaches his daughters what real love looks like, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop chasing money at the expense of your family and start showing up in ways that matter so your children learn through observation what a healthy marriage and healthy love actually look like.

  Your Husband Cheats… And You're Still Told to Submit? 28.10.2026 49m

  You can do everything right. You can love your spouse with everything in you. But if you don't understand that submission is not synonymous with suffering in silence, if you don't recognize that faithfulness doesn't mean losing your voice, and if you're not intentional about understanding that scripture requires both partners to fulfill their roles equally, you'll miss the foundation that holds everything together. In this deeply vulnerable, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Yoko Kobi Gold, author of Faithful, Not Voiceless, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to sustain a marriage, why being a good Christian wife became synonymous with suffering in silence, and the uncomfortable truth that we hide behind culture and scripture to box women into enduring instead of enjoying marriage. Yoko holds nothing back. She breaks down why society expects that as a Christian woman you have to literally lie down for a husband to walk over, why church leaders told her to clean up her cheating husband if she found him on the matrimonial bed with another woman, and the one thing most women refuse to accept: if you read the book of Ephesians chapter 5 it says a woman must submit to the man but it also says a man has to love a woman as Christ loves the church so if I am going to play my part by submitting and then he doesn't play his part by loving me how does that really benefit the marriage. She reveals why her ex husband would literally use the word of God to corner her and say I'm talking you don't have to talk, how church counselors asked what did you do when he cheated instead of asking why is he doing that, and the moment that changes everything: when you realize that your role as a wife is to pray for your husband regardless of whether he's cheating abusive or does nothing but the Bible does not ask a woman to love the husband as Christ loved the church. She also explains why submission is also a form of love and God knew that women would naturally find it difficult to submit so he instructed us to submit, how God knew that men are not emotional beings so he instructed men to love because he wanted a balance, and the one thing every woman needs to know: every woman that is loved right will naturally submit to that man unless that woman is a witch. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why culture is one of the things that has positioned women to endure instead of enjoy marriage, why most of the time our brain is tuned to an overview of what our predecessors did so psychologically it leads you to choose certain spouses that probably you're not supposed to choose, and how if she had known herself the way she got to know herself while she was in the marriage and after the marriage she wouldn't have ended up with her husband. Yoko dives into why she went to rescue him because he was an orphan and didn't have that close knit family so she wanted to be that family for him, how she kept telling herself that God brought her into his life so that he would experience what genuine love is, and the uncomfortable reality that unfaithfulness was one of the major issues in the marriage but church leaders told her she was always the difficult one stubborn disrespectful and that's why he's doing what he's doing. She also tackles why she realized at the point where her personal growth was not being invested in that she can either stay in the marriage for her daughter and not fulfill her dreams or she can stay out and pursue her dreams and give her daughter a better life and a better example for what a woman ought to be, how before the separation came they were practically tenants in the same house in different rooms minding their business and only having conversations when it has to do with the child, and the one thing every person needs to understand: when you are consistently doing the things that you're supposed to do and you're still not seeing changes in the person there's always a trigger because it's draining and some people would not recognize the consistency but rather attack the triggers. If you're married, wondering whether submission means suffering in silence, or asking yourself how to be faithful without losing your voice, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop enduring and start understanding that you can be faithful and have a voice because scripture requires both partners to fulfill their roles equally and when a woman is loved as Christ loves his church submission naturally comes.

  Segment: Love Is a FEELING, Not a Decision 27.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can love someone with everything in you. But if you built that love on a misrepresentation of who you really are, the moment they discover the real you is the moment everything starts to fall apart. In this raw, deeply insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with John Michael, social worker and development consultant, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to build a relationship that lasts, why love is a feeling and not a decision, and the uncomfortable truth that marrying your dream girl means she becomes real and you'll discover she snores, farts, and wears grandma panties during her period. John Michael holds nothing back. He breaks down why love is a feeling that goes beyond just liking someone, why you can't even put a finger on why you love some people you just know that you do, and the one thing most people refuse to accept: when the feeling is true and it's real it doesn't ever go away. He reveals why love and lust are interdependent, how it is possible for a person who loves you to want to sleep with you but it is also possible for a person who doesn't love you to want to sleep with you and that is when it becomes lust, and the moment you realize that there's a lot you can tell even with how a person makes love to you because are they aggressive are they attentive do they touch you in the way you want to be touched. He also explains why the ultimate reason there's a breakdown in marriage is not necessarily the feeling disappearing but when a decision was made to be with somebody based on a misrepresentation of themselves, how in today's social media world most people have an alter ego that represents them and they're partying popping bottles smoking weed but in reality what they cherish is staying at home cooking and watching Netflix, and the one question every couple needs to answer before they say I do: is the person I'm presenting during dating the person I can maintain for the rest of my life. This isn't just about love. It's a masterclass in understanding why love, boundaries, and emotional intelligence are first cousins, why getting close to people also revolves around who they are what they like what they do not like and what defines their boundaries, and how emotional intelligence is being able to understand even their silence even when they smile when they look at you what's going through their head and what's their thought process. John Michael dives into why when you more than like somebody you love them, how a feeling is harder to go away than a decision because a decision can go away when the circumstances that led to the decision change, and the uncomfortable reality that if you saw a girl in a Lamborghini and felt like wow she probably has a lot of money and then found out it's her boyfriend's car that attraction could very easily go away. He also tackles why the thing about marrying your dream girl is she becomes real, how when you idolized her you thought she doesn't snore at night she doesn't poop she doesn't fart she's always in hot sexy lingerie, and the one thing every man needs to prepare for: when you get married you find that actually she does all those things and in the middle of the night she raises her leg and just farts and you're thinking oh my days. If you're in a relationship, wondering whether love is a feeling or a decision, or asking yourself why the person you fell for seems different now that you're living with them, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop misrepresenting who you are and start building a relationship where both of you show up as exactly who you are from day one.

  Segment: Absent Fathers Create Daughters Who Accept ANY Kind of Love 26.10.2026 9m

  You can do everything right. You can show up as a father, a husband, a partner. But if you're absent in the lives of your daughters, any man can come and show them his idea of being loved and you'll have no say in the kind of relationships they build. In this deeply personal, wildly entertaining episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with John, Ghana's self-proclaimed enjoyment president and owner of Soho, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about fatherhood, why fathers must invest time in their daughters or risk them falling for the wrong kind of man, and the uncomfortable truth that staying out until 6 a.m. is safer than rushing home at 3 a.m. when armed robbers are operating. John holds nothing back. He breaks down why a lot of men think their role is to mentor their sons but forget that being absent in their daughters' lives will show in the kind of relationships their daughters have moving forward, why his idea of loving his daughters was to make time for them and teach them how they should feel love, and the one thing every father needs to do: spend time with them, go to the cinema, go horse riding, go to the pool, sit in their swimming classes and be there all the time. He reveals why it is not abnormal for a man to get up in the middle of the night and check on the child, change diapers, or warm the milk so his wife can get a little extra sleep, how all of these feed into the overall psyche of the marriage because if these things are absent then the partner becomes emotionally drained and everything goes haywire, and the moment he realized that when a father invests time in his daughters it helps boost their confidence and they rise faster in whatever career or business they choose. He also explains why he teaches his daughters how they need to be dated, how he takes his daughter out on dates and even sends her flowers on Valentine's Day so she doesn't think nobody likes her, and the one confession he had to make when she found out it was him all the time: I admire you and I wanted you to know what it feels like to be admired. This isn't just about fatherhood. It's a masterclass in understanding why boundaries and emotional intelligence matter in marriage, why children learn through observation and if we don't do the right thing we muddy the waters for them when they get into their marriages, and how keeping romance alive after 14 years means going on dates, hosting your wife and her Wesley Girls friends at Soho for comedy nights, and understanding that if you come out with me on a Friday we are going home in the morning not at 3 a.m. John dives into why his reason for staying out later is about security because armed robbers operate between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., how he told his wife if you're going out with your girls and you're not going to come home before midnight stay where you are it's safer, and the uncomfortable reality that rushing home in the middle of the night at 2 or 3 a.m. is not worth the risk when you could sit in your car and sleep and then go home after 4 when it's safe. He also tackles why Soho is not just about partying but about networking with business leaders, ministers of state, and high commissioners, how you can lay the groundwork for a business deal on Friday night and sign the paperwork on Monday morning, and the one piece of advice he gives Richard before his first visit: sleep for two to three hours before you come you will need it. If you're a father wondering how to raise confident daughters who know how they deserve to be loved, a husband trying to keep the spark alive after 14 years, or someone who thinks going home at 3 a.m. is safer than staying out until sunrise, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop being absent and start showing up in ways that matter.

  Segment: Boundaries Are NOT Optional - Marriage Needs Them to Survive 25.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can show up as your authentic self. But if you misrepresent who you are just to impress someone, the moment you say I do is the moment the real you comes out and the problems begin. In this raw, wildly entertaining episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with John, Ghana's self-proclaimed enjoyment president and owner of Soho, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about authenticity in marriage, why boundaries matter more than constant togetherness, and the uncomfortable truth that long-distance marriages are a breeding ground for infidelity because nine months alone is nine months too long. John holds nothing back. He breaks down why the person you present during dating is the person you must maintain because women require consistency, why misrepresentation only works for so long before you slip back into your old ways, and the one thing most couples refuse to accept: whoever you start as with them is the person you have to maintain or they'll think your feelings have changed. He reveals why his wife met him as a party person and he didn't change when he got married because what she saw was what she got, how some brothers meet a girl and decide to change and be what the girl's ideal was only to slip back into their old ways after the wedding, and the moment you realize that there's nothing you would do that they find nice anymore because the feeling has changed. He also explains why staying together in the early part of the marriage is vital, how the version of someone you see once in a while when you're dating is very different from the version when you're living with them 24/7, and the one question every long-distance couple needs to answer: is he moving here or are you moving there because this on and off is not the best. This isn't just about being yourself. It's a masterclass in understanding why boundaries are important because everybody needs their space for mental clarity and peace of mind, why to not allow those boundaries is to have the person get fed up with you, and how the strength of your foundation determines how long that relationship is going to stand the test of time. John dives into why he told his friend that her husband probably has a girlfriend because she's only in the States three months a year leaving nine months where he's on his own, how she wanted him to break it off with whoever when she's there but he'd have to go and beg or find somebody else when she leaves, and the uncomfortable reality that unless you want to cultivate the habit of phone sex and masturbating over the phone eventually he will start talking to someone. He also tackles why the first year of marriage is critical because the fights will happen the financial ahala comes and you need to figure out who's doing what, how eight out of ten if you survive the first year you survive the rest of the years, and the one rule every couple needs to follow: no brother of yours sister of yours uncle anybody should live with you in the first year of marriage because family gets involved and things that should stay in your house end up in family discussions. If you're about to get married, wondering whether you should keep pretending to be someone you're not, or asking yourself why your long-distance relationship feels like it's falling apart, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop misrepresenting and start building a marriage where both of you show up as exactly who you are.

  Segment: Complacency KILLS Passion - You Must Be Intentional Every Day 24.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You can wake up next to the same person for 30 years. But if you're not intentional about keeping the passion alive, you'll end up living alongside them instead of living with them. In this deeply personal, beautifully vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Rami Osafo, veteran broadcaster, DJ, and radio legend, for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it means to stay married for 30 years, how a stammering, painfully shy teenager became a voice on the radio, and the uncomfortable truth that after three decades you can still wake up and wonder who is this woman in my bed. Rami holds nothing back. He breaks down why keeping passion alive after 30 years requires intentionality because complacency pushes you into a groove that's not always a nice groove, why his answer to how do you manage 30 years with the same woman is honestly I don't know it's the grace of God, and the one prayer he prays all the time: help me to understand this woman better even after 30 years. He reveals why his wife is like the peace of God because she passes all understanding, how sometimes she will do things that make him think where is she from what's she doing in my bed and then he looks again and it's his wife, and the moment he realized that left to his shyness and stammering and lack of confidence he might never have married her. He also explains why she went back to her friends the day they met and told them I've met the man I'm going to marry, how his proposal was sitting down a year into the relationship and saying so are we going to get married and she said oh I thought so, and the one person who pushed him to finally get married after five years: his mother of blessed memory who said you keep saying you don't have money but you start we'll find the money from somebody. This isn't just a love story. It's a masterclass in understanding how radio forced a stammerer to become a better speaker, why the first day at Joy FM in 1995 he hardly spoke because his hand would shake so much before touching the mic button that people would think he was an alcoholic, and how the microphone forced him to speak better because it's only you and the microphone and the people listening can't see you or hear you but they are listening. Rami dives into why he's been DJing since he was 18 and is still doing three or four gigs a year not for money but for passion, how the reward of seeing people come up and say I haven't heard that song for 30 years is what keeps him going, and the uncomfortable reality that in secondary school if a nice girl walked into the classroom during a free period his prayer to God would be please don't let her speak to me because if she said hello my name is Ama he'd be stuck trying to say his own name. He also tackles why he loves to read especially fiction because there's too much wahala going on in the world, how movies and music are his escape, and the one thing he tells people when they ask him to describe his wife in one sentence: my wife is like the peace of God because she passes all understanding. If you're married, wondering how to keep the passion alive after decades, or asking yourself whether happiness is something you chase or something you build through intentionality and prayer, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop living alongside your partner and start living with them.

  Segment: Provision Is NO LONGER Just the Man's Responsibility 23.10.2026 14m

  You can do everything right. You can work yourself to the bone. But if you're the only one carrying the weight of provision while your partner sits back and says my money is my money and your money is for the home, something is broken. In this raw, deeply practical episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with a traditional chief and community leader for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it means to provide, why the old model of men providing everything is collapsing under the weight of modern reality, and the uncomfortable truth that provision is no longer the sole responsibility of the husband but a joint effort that requires both partners to show up. This guest holds nothing back. He breaks down why the idea of the man being the provider has shifted from men providing everything to both partners contributing, why some men are just not responsible and leave everything for the woman to do, and the one phrase that's destroying marriages before they even begin: my money is my money, the man's money is for the home. He reveals why it depends on the upbringing of the woman, how his wife was told during their marriage that when you get money you bring it home but when there's any debt your husband is there to take care of it, and the moment you realize that women keep money better than men because the day to day affairs you're on set. He also explains why he tells his daughters I'm not going to kill myself and leave everything for you, how he's giving them education so they can be independent and help their husbands build a home instead of waiting for their husbands to provide everything, and the one thing every father needs to teach his children: if you want to be independent from your husband then take your school serious and get a good job. This isn't just about money. It's a masterclass in understanding why some men are scared to see their wives rise more than them, why if you marry a professional and ask her not to work then you need to provide, and how when the woman is working and the man is also working it becomes a partnership. He dives into why women are more studious with money and build on the capital while men take the money and see a girl they've been chasing and give her 500 before they even get home, how if you take 10 women and 10 men maybe two women might come back failing but seven men will come failing, and the uncomfortable reality that the woman has to wake up early morning make sure the kids are ready walk the children to school come back get the man food to eat and go to work while the man sits somewhere pushing draft and chatting with his friends. He also tackles why it gets to a point where the woman is also a human being and she will say it to you and that will build your ego and then there's fighting, how we as fathers should lead by example in our homes, and the one truth every man needs to accept: provision is done jointly now. If you're married, wondering whether your value as a man is tied to how much you provide, or asking yourself why your partner says their money is theirs while expecting you to carry everything, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop killing yourself trying to provide alone and start building a home where both of you show up and do what is necessary. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.

  Segment: Submission Goes BOTH Ways 22.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You're just one person in a relationship. And whilst you're thinking north, the other person is dealing with all kinds of demons in their lives. In this raw, deeply challenging episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kofi Watting, lawyer and ordained minister, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what makes a marriage last, why biblical submission goes both ways, and the uncomfortable truth that divorce was never God's original idea but a concession to the hardness of human hearts. Kofi holds nothing back. He breaks down why Ephesians 5:21 says submit to one another before it tells wives to submit to their husbands, why respect is among the top five needs of men according to Dr. Willard Harley's His Needs Her Needs, and the one thing most people miss when reading scripture: Paul gives three verses to wives and eight verses to husbands because there is more responsibility on the man. He reveals why husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church and wash her with the word, how intimacy requires transparency so you can wash your spouse with words of affirmation and truth, and the moment you realize that your children are watching how you treat each other and learning through observation what a good marriage looks like. He also explains why don't let the sun go down on your anger is not always realistic, how at least acknowledging there's a problem before you go to bed and agreeing to deal with it later can save your sanity, and the one question every couple needs to ask: which is easier, wives submit or husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church? This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why infidelity is the easiest ground for divorce because scripture supports it, why God allowed Moses to grant divorce because of the hardness of your heart, and how you can always forgive and rebuild trust even when it feels like the worst thing that ever happened to your marriage. Kofi dives into why the serial cheater was probably like that before you met them and you knew it and married them anyway, how the things that attract us in the beginning are the same things that become a distraction, and the uncomfortable reality that the life of the party who makes everybody laugh becomes the spouse flirting with everybody after marriage and he hasn't changed this is exactly who you met. He also tackles why some people show up when it matters even though they have bad behaviors or bad morals, how the person who has checked out completely hardly comes home and doesn't take up any responsibility, and the one thing you need to do when you've been faithful and done everything and this is the payback you get: say God take over I'm done fighting I'm done trying and watch God do his own thing. If you're married, wondering whether there's hope when one person is being intentional and the other doesn't want to know, or asking yourself at what point you say enough is enough, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop waiting for perfect and start building a marriage where both of you surrender to God, communicate your feelings, and work together to hit the potholes without parking the car and saying I'm not driving anymore.

  Segment: Don't Wait for Empty Nest - Reconnect With Your Spouse NOW 20.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You're just one person in a relationship. And whilst you're thinking north, the other person is dealing with all kinds of demons in their lives. In this deeply personal, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to sustain a marriage, why parallel growth matters more than staying the same, and the uncomfortable truth that love alone will never be enough when the children leave and it's just the two of you sitting in an empty house. This conversation holds nothing back. It breaks down why both partners must grow even if one goes down the route of education and the other chooses business, why the goals must be the same and the values must be the same and communication must be 360 degrees, and the one thing most couples refuse to accept: the glue that held them together was the children, and now they have nothing in common. The discussion reveals why you should never wait for your children to completely leave before you reconnect, how spending time together away from the kids while they're in boarding school is an opportunity to patch things up before the gap becomes too wide, and the moment you realize that travel forces couples to have real conversations because when you're away from home and away from domestic responsibilities it's just you and I and we're forced to talk. It also explains why some people wait too long to address the gap when one spouse rises and the other stays behind, how it's easier to bring your partner along while you're climbing than to go back and try to raise them from the ground up after you've already made it, and the one question every successful person needs to ask themselves: am I being kind to my first love? This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why the empty nest stage is when a lot of couples break up, why a little bit of independence is healthy so you're not overly dependent on your spouse, and how having your own hobbies and pastimes brings fulfillment without threatening the marriage. The conversation dives into why husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church even though the church is full of sinners, how you can do everything right but still need the grace of God because you're just one person and the other person is dealing with demons you don't even know about, and the uncomfortable reality that don't let the sun go down on your anger is not realistic because some issues are not resolved in a few hours or even a month. It also tackles why your children are watching how you respect each other and how you treat each other and that's the legacy you're building, how a boy who sees his father being abusive will take that into his own relationships, and the one thing every couple at the empty nest stage needs to do: invest in the relationship almost as though you've just started all over again. If you're married, preparing for an empty nest, or wondering whether doing everything right is enough to guarantee a good marriage, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop waiting for things to fall apart and start building a marriage where both of you grow together and create memories that last. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.

  Segment: Love Alone Is NOT Enough to Sustain a Marriage 19.10.2026 12m

  You can do everything right. You're just one person in a relationship. And whilst you're thinking not, the other person is dealing with all kinds of demons in their lives. In this raw, deeply challenging episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kofi Watting, lawyer and ordained minister, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what makes a marriage last, why love alone will never be enough, and the uncomfortable truth that compatibility, resources, and shared values matter more than feelings and attraction. Kofi holds nothing back. He breaks down why love without the necessary resources to maintain a family can put the family in very difficult situations, why Janet Jackson was wrong when she said the best things in life are free because love is not free, and the one thing most couples refuse to discuss before marriage: compatibility. He reveals why some marriages are transactional where somebody is looking for a sponsor and they see a man who has all the money in the world and they see a father figure who's going to bring the entire family out of poverty, how age gaps and interracial marriages come with expectations that must be discussed during the courtship period, and the moment you realize that the young lady engaged to a much older divorced man will face constant accusations and insecurity because he feels threatened by younger men. He also explains why many of us are on our best behavior whilst we're dating or courting and it's only when we say I do that the hidden parts of us are revealed to our spouse, how these habits were always there before marriage and didn't just appear after the wedding, and the one thing every couple needs to do before they walk down the aisle: go through a courtship period where you have serious conversations about the future, financial habits, and love languages. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why lust blinds us during courtship, why after you're married for a year or two you know exactly who you're married to and it's easier to articulate the issues of contention, and how inviting a neutral third party can save your marriage because there are people who don't see any wrong in what they do and will not listen to their spouse. Kofi dives into why you should agree on a referee for your marriage even before you get married, how referees don't come into the game to back one side but to ensure fairness, and the uncomfortable reality that some lawyers were married to individuals who helped them through law school and then once they became lawyers or politicians they realized these people were not suited to them and they left them. He also tackles why it's easier to bring your partner along while you're upgrading your skills and climbing the career ladder than to wait too long and then try to raise somebody else from the ground up after you've already made it, how by that time you're already mingling with a certain class of people and you may have already identified people that you think are more suitable to you, and the one question every successful person needs to ask themselves: am I being kind to my first love? If you're married, wondering whether love is enough to hold you together, or asking yourself how to navigate the disparity when one spouse rises and the other stays behind, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop relying on feelings alone and start building a marriage where love is supported by resources, compatibility, and intentionality.

  Segment: Your Spouse Should Know Your Fears AND Your Finances 18.10.2026 13m

  Love is not enough. You can do everything right. You're just one person in a relationship. And whilst you're thinking not, the other person is dealing with all kinds of demons in their lives. In this powerful, deeply vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kofi Watting, lawyer and ordained minister, for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what makes a marriage last, why love alone is never enough, and the uncomfortable truth that shared goals and shared values matter more than attraction and feelings. Kofi holds nothing back. He breaks down why a good marriage is built on shared goals and shared values, not just physical attraction, why intimacy must be 360 degrees including financial transparency and emotional honesty, and the one thing most couples are hiding from each other that destroys intimacy before it even begins: their finances. He reveals why in a lot of our homes spouses are hiding financial assets because they tell you you're going to make too many demands, how some people get married or are courting and yet they still don't know how much they're both earning, and the moment you realize that being naked before each other means more than just physical nakedness. He also explains why sharing his deepest fears and insecurities with his wife doesn't belittle his stature as the head of the home but strengthens their bond, how his wife encourages him before a difficult court case by saying I know you I trust you just go break some legs, and the one thing every couple needs to hear: communication and honesty are the foundation of everything. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why love alone is not enough, why you need resources and compatibility and intentionality to keep a relationship going, and how spending time together before your children leave is the key to surviving the empty nest stage. Kofi dives into why couples should have serious conversations about the future, financial habits, and love languages before they say I do, how these habits were always there before marriage and didn't just appear after the wedding, and the uncomfortable reality that many couples wait until their children leave before they realize they've grown so wide apart. He also tackles why travel helps couples reconnect because when you're away from home and away from domestic responsibilities it's just you and I and we're forced to have conversations, how the emptiness stage is an opportunity to invest in the relationship almost as though you've just started all over again, and the one thing every parent needs to remember: your children are watching you, they are watching how you respect each other, how you react, how you treat each other, and that's the legacy you're building. If you're married, wondering whether love is enough to hold you together, or asking yourself why your spouse doesn't know your deepest fears, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop hiding and start building a marriage where both of you are naked and unafraid.

  Segment: Fathers Shape Can Their Daughters' Future Relationships 17.10.2026 9m

  Your daughter needs to see how a man should love her. Your son needs to see how a man should lead. And your marriage needs more than love. It needs boundaries, emotional intelligence, and the courage to stay out until 6 a.m. if that's what keeps you safe. In this deeply insightful, wildly entertaining episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with John, Ghana's self-proclaimed enjoyment president and owner of Soho, for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about fatherhood, romance after 14 years of marriage, and why the most relevant people in Ghana don't go home until sunrise. John holds nothing back. He breaks down why fathers must invest time in their daughters or risk them falling for the wrong kind of man, how he sends his daughter flowers on Valentine's Day so she knows what it feels like to be admired, and the uncomfortable truth that if you're absent in your daughter's life any man can come and show her his idea of being loved. He reveals why changing diapers and warming milk at 3 a.m. is not abnormal but necessary, how emotionally drained partners lead to marriages that go haywire, and the one thing every father needs to teach his daughter: how she deserves to be dated. He also explains why he takes his daughter on dates, how his wife threatened him to send flowers before some boy does it first, and the moment his daughter found out it was him all along and asked why he was doing it. This isn't just about fatherhood. It's a masterclass in keeping romance alive after 14 years, why boundaries and emotional intelligence are the foundation of every lasting marriage, and how reflection is the key to responding instead of reacting. John dives into why he hosts his wife and her Wesley Girls friends at Soho for comedy nights, how he stays out until 6 a.m. not because he's reckless but because armed robbers operate between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., and the one rule he gave his wife: if you're going out with your girls and you're not coming home before midnight stay where you are it's safer. He also shares why Soho is not just a party spot but a networking hub where business leaders, ministers of state, and high commissioners hang out, how you can lay the groundwork for a business deal on Friday night and sign the paperwork on Monday morning, and the one piece of advice he gives Richard before his first visit: sleep for two to three hours before you come you will need it. If you're a father wondering how to raise confident daughters, a husband trying to keep the spark alive after a decade, or someone who thinks going home at 3 a.m. is safer than staying out until sunrise, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to rethink everything you thought you knew about love, safety, and what it means to enjoy life while building something that lasts.

  Segment : Your Spouse Should Know EVERYTHING, Including Your Salary 16.10.2026 10m

In this powerful, deeply vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Kofi Watting, lawyer and ordained minister, for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what makes a marriage last, why love alone is never enough, and the uncomfortable truth that the things that attract us are the same things that become a distraction. Kofi holds nothing back. He breaks down why a good marriage is built on shared goals and shared values, not just attraction and feelings, why two introverts can stay together and two extroverts can clash and both can make it work if they choose to, and the one thing most couples are hiding from each other that destroys intimacy before it even begins: their finances. He reveals why in a lot of our homes spouses are hiding financial assets because they tell you you're going to make too many demands, how some women suffer economic abuse not because their husbands are withholding but because he doesn't have it and he's doing his best, and the moment you realize that this man who comes home every day and is trying is the best husband you could ever have. He also explains why when you say I do that's when love actually opens your eyes, why you start noticing all the things that irritate you after the wedding and not before, and the one question every couple on the verge of divorce needs to hear: hold it. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding intimacy beyond the physical, why being naked before each other means financial transparency and emotional honesty, and how Adam and Eve were naked and not embarrassed because intimacy is 360 degrees. Kofi dives into why he left the Catholic church to join his wife's charismatic church so their children wouldn't be confused between the noisy church and the orderly one, how sharing his deepest fears with his wife before a court case doesn't belittle his stature but strengthens their bond, and the uncomfortable reality that the person who is a serial cheater was like that before you met them and you knew it and you got married to them anyway. He also tackles why the things that attract us are the same things that become a distraction, how the life of the party who makes everybody laugh becomes the spouse flirting with everybody after marriage, and the one thing people refuse to accept: he hasn't changed, this is exactly who you met. If you're married, struggling with transparency, or wondering whether love is enough to hold you together when everything else is falling apart, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop hiding and start building a marriage where both of you are naked and unafraid.

  Segment: Be Kind to Your Love - Grow Together Instead of Apart 15.10.2026 10m

  You said I do. You didn't listen to anybody. Now you're married. So what do you do when you finally see who you're really married to? In this raw, deeply practical episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with a seasoned relationship expert for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about navigating marriage after the wedding, what to do when your spouse outgrows you, and the uncomfortable truth that love alone is never enough when the children leave and it's just the two of you sitting in an empty house. This guest holds nothing back. He breaks down why after you're married for a year or two you know exactly who you're married to, why it's easier to articulate the issues of contention when you've been together long enough to see the patterns, and the one thing most couples refuse to do that could save their marriage: invite a neutral third party. He reveals why you should agree on a referee for your marriage before you even say I do, how referees don't come into the game to back one side but to ensure fairness, and the moment you realize that the person who doesn't listen to you will listen to someone they respect. He also explains why many couples wait too long to address the gap when one spouse rises and the other stays behind, how it's easier to bring your partner along while you're climbing than to go back and try to raise them from the ground up after you've already made it, and the one question every successful person needs to ask themselves: am I being kind to my first love? This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding parallel growth, why both of you must grow even if one goes down the route of education and the other chooses business, and how maintaining a healthy marriage means making sure your goals are the same, your values are the same, and your communication is 360 degrees. He dives into why lust is before you say I do but love actually opens your eyes after the wedding, how you start noticing all the things that irritate you once the lust has been taken off, and the uncomfortable reality that during the empty nest stage a lot of couples break up because the glue that held them together was the children. He also tackles why you should never wait for your children to completely leave before you reconnect, how spending time together away from the kids while they're in boarding school is an opportunity to patch things up before the gap becomes too wide, and the one thing that forces couples to have real conversations again: travel, because when you're away from home and away from domestic responsibilities it's just you and I and we're forced to talk. If you're married, wondering how to stay connected when life pulls you in different directions, or asking yourself whether it's healthy for your spouse to grow independently, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop waiting for things to fall apart and start building a marriage where both of you grow together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.

  The Bride Price TRAP: Why Young Men Would Rather Stay Single Than Pay Outrageous Lists 14.10.2026 57m

  Sometimes you want to be with somebody, but the list will scare you away. So now women don't marry who they love. They marry who can afford them. In this explosive, deeply provocative episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Bernard Kojo Pencil, actor, media personality, and Bible scholar, for a raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about bride price, dowry lists, marriage expectations, and why so many young men are walking away from the altar before they even get there. Mamaba holds nothing back. He breaks down why the modern bride price system has turned women into products to be bought instead of people to be loved, why some lists are so outrageous they include cars and houses, and the uncomfortable truth that when men see what's required just to say I do, they run. He reveals why Ronald did his wedding in his living room, how even Ronaldo could afford a luxurious ceremony but chose simplicity instead, and the one question every parent needs to answer: are you trying to marry off your daughter or sell her? He also explains why marriage was never meant to be this expensive, how the greed of man turned a simple token into a commercial transaction, and why most women today are not marrying the men they love but the men who can afford the list. This isn't just about bride price. It's a masterclass in understanding why your money belongs to both of you, why hiding your salary makes you a business partner and not a wife, and the shocking reality that there is no currency in this world rated as female money. Mamaba dives into why women were created as helpmates and not housekeepers, why a woman's gift can make her richer than her husband and that should never be a problem, and the one thing every woman needs to hear: when women make money, men should not become their enemy. He also tackles why men are afraid to admit they're struggling, how women insult men the moment they borrow money from them, and why most men would rather go to strangers for help than ask their wives because putting your hand in the mouth of a lion will definitely get you bitten. If you're planning to get married, wondering why the list is longer than your savings account, or asking yourself why your partner hides their money while you pour everything into the home, this conversation will give you the clarity, the courage, and the language to stop treating marriage like a shopping list and start building it like a partnership.

  Segment : Live WITH Your Partner, Not Alongside Them 13.10.2026 12m

  Living with someone is not the same as living alongside them. One is a partnership. The other is just coexistence. In this deeply personal, beautifully vulnerable episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Rami Osafo, veteran broadcaster and radio legend, for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it means to stay married for 30 years, the difference between laughing at your partner and laughing with them, and how to prepare for an empty nest when your children are the glue that held everything together. Rami opens up about the one piece of advice he wishes he'd known at the beginning of his marriage: the difference between living alongside a person and living with them. He reveals why happiness is not a destination but a product of doing the right things, why serving God must come first before serving your partner, and the one thing every man should aim for in the bedroom: pleasing her, because what pleases her will inevitably please him too. He also shares why he still buys Valentine's Day cards after 30 years, the particular shop in Accra where he browses for the perfect words, and why electronic cards will never do it for him no matter how expensive paper ones become. This isn't just a story about staying married. It's a masterclass in intentionality, love languages, and why date nights matter more now than they did in year one. Rami breaks down the weekends they used to spend in hotels just lounging by the pool and talking, how his wife has recently started pushing for institutionalized date nights and he's finally responding, and the moment she suggested they visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park because they've been living in Accra and never been there. He also explains why words of affirmation is his love language and why the first person to express it has to be him, how he used to stop at supermarkets on his way home to buy chocolate or flowers just because, and the uncomfortable truth that he loves his children a little too much and doesn't know how he'll handle it when they're all gone and it's just him and his wife sitting in the hall asking when the next date night is. If you're married, preparing for an empty nest, or wondering whether happiness is something you chase or something you build, this conversation will give you the language, the courage, and the roadmap to stop living alongside your partner and start living with them.
