  • 32 - Segment: Boundaries Are NOT Optional - Marriage Needs Them to Survive

    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.

  • 31 - Segment: Complacency KILLS Passion - You Must Be Intentional Every Day

    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.

  • 30 - Segment: Provision Is NO LONGER Just the Man's Responsibility

    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.

  • 29 - Segment: Submission Goes BOTH Ways

    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.

  • 28 - Segment: Don't Wait for Empty Nest - Reconnect With Your Spouse NOW

    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.
