Dear Pastor,

I am a regular reader of your column. I am 48 years old and my wife is 40. I was married before, so she is my second wife; I divorced my first wife.

When I met her, she told me that she has an adopted daughter and she spends her money on her because she wants her to have a good education. This woman met me in my own home. When my first wife and I decided to go our separate ways, she asked me for $3 million and I gave it to her; that is all she wanted. She did not make any claim on my house, but she could have. One of the main reasons why my first wife and I did not get along was because she got mixed up in obeah and spiritism. She wanted to drag me that way. She said my own people had worked obeah on her because a spiritual man told her so. I could not get her to stop accusing people of obeahing her.

She went to an obeah man and undressed herself in front of the man who gave her a bath. I told her I could never forgive her for taking off all her clothes, allowing a man to give her a bath, then drying her off and anointing her with oils. I told her no good woman would do such things. After we got divorced, she kept going back to this obeah man; she believes in him so much. The woman has wasted her money. Now she is saying that my present wife has also set obeah on her. My wife has asked me why she would work obeah on my ex-wife.

My ex is an educated woman, but in the spiritual realm, she is a fool. I told her that I believe that the so-called obeah man had sex with her; she said he didn't. I asked her who was there with him when she took off every piece of her clothes and stood before him, and she said nobody. I will never know the full truth, but I believe what I believe.

At present, my wife feels threatened by my ex because she feels that my ex will do something to her. She wants to know whether she should get someone to see what they can do to stop any spirit from destroying our relationship. I am not into that. I have to be assuring her that nothing will destroy our union because both of us are Christian people.

Initials Withheld.

Dear Writer,

Continue to assure your wife that your ex cannot hurt her, neither does this so-called spiritual man.

It is unfortunate that she has allowed her marriage to be destroyed by believing in obeah. I am glad that you were in a position to give her $3 million and set her free. Now you are not obligated to her in anyway. You believe that the obeah man had sex with your former wife. You don't have any proof of that, so don't mention that to anybody else. There are some wicked, so-called spiritual men in the world. Read your Bible and pray with your present wife. That would be good enough for a happy relationship.
