The Cliché of the tall, dark and handsome picture perfect spouse is a trap many unsuspecting women have fallen into all for the sake of wearing the ‘married’ title – a title they begin to question once they foray into a marriage with men they should ordinarily not be tethered to.

As a consequence, the divorce courts become rife with contending couples wielding claims and counter claims that they married for the wrong reasons.

To avoid this, it is therefore worthwhile to unearth the red flags while still in a relationship before going down the aisle.

This book details some of those signals that wave the red flags during courtship.

Have you wondered why marriages fail in this generation? From separation, divorce to broken homes that you can't count across the globe. When you ask marriage counsellors and experts why marriages fail, they tell you several reasons and often these are personal experiences and observations. As a marriage counsellor, speaker and author, I can tell you that the major reason why marriages fail is because they are not Godly marriages. I know that look on your face right now, “Mrs. Kelicha, are you saying that marriages that are not Godly are not successful? What about godly marriages that ended up in divorce? What will you say about that?”

I understand your concerns and questions which is why I wrote this book to answer all your questions and also clear your doubts.

Have you ever considered why? What motivates a woman to stay in an abusive relationship/marriage even when her life is in danger? I asked myself the same question as women who come to me for counseling, and what I discovered was eye-opening, prompting me to decide to publish a book that will educate women and set them free from the pitfalls of domestic violence and other forms of violence that have taken the precious lives of so many women across Africa and the rest of the world.

This is one book every woman should get for themselves and other women close to them because what I shared here are powerful truths about marriage and domestic violence which are rarely talked about in society today.

Stella’s marriage has become an archetypal story, full of lessons for anyone who is interested in marriage. Was Stella Wrong? is a recommended text for intending couples; something a bachelor and spinster should read one, two, three times before going into any marriage relationship.

Written like a novel, Was Stella Wrong? is composed with biblical concept of marriage, and the role of God in any marriage that will be happy and blissful.

The author makes no pretences. The characters in the book, though fictional, are bound to invoke certain realities as you read and get familiar with the settings and interplay. The author intended it so to make the story real to every reader, and to teach the vital lessons that make for Godly marriages and the happy hereafter.

The Kingdom Woman is a book that the Lord has helped me to use as a platform to address most of the problems I have seen in majority of women for over two decades in ministry.
