Pastor Adeboye and Wife Celebrate 59th Wedding Anniversary
Pastor Enoch Adeboye and his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, are celebrating a major milestone in their marriage as they mark their 59th wedding anniversary. The couple celebrated the special occasion on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, with a message focused on gratitude, love and God’s faithfulness.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, shared the anniversary message on his X account. He reflected on the many years he and his wife have spent together, describing their journey as one filled with seasons of joy, challenges, growth and answered prayers.
The couple used the occasion to give thanks to God for sustaining their marriage for almost six decades. According to their message, their years together have not been without challenges, but they have continued to depend on God and remain committed to each other.
Pastor Adeboye also shared an important lesson about marriage. He explained that marriage is not only about enjoying beautiful moments. It also involves choosing one another every day, allowing each other to grow, being patient, forgiving one another, praying together and trusting God through different seasons of life.
One of the strongest parts of the couple’s message was their acknowledgement of God’s place in their home. They expressed gratitude that God had remained at the centre of their marriage and family throughout the years.
The couple also appreciated the many people who have supported them and their family over the years. They thanked those who have loved them, prayed for them and stood with them through different stages of their lives and ministry.
Their 59th wedding anniversary comes after a long journey of partnership in both marriage and Christian service. Pastor Folu Adeboye has remained an important figure in the RCCG community and is known for her work with women and ministry. She is also the organiser of the annual Feast of Esther gathering for women in ministry.
The celebration has attracted attention from Christians and Nigerians who are congratulating the couple on reaching such a remarkable milestone. Their story is also a reminder that lasting marriages require commitment, understanding, patience and faith.
As they celebrate 59 years together, Pastor Enoch and Pastor Folu Adeboye have expressed hope for the years ahead, giving glory to God for the journey so far and looking forward to what the future holds.
Their message ended with a simple but powerful expression of gratitude: 59 years and still grateful.
The anniversary is therefore not only a celebration of the number of years they have spent together, but also a celebration of faith, companionship, family and the strength that comes from walking through life together.
