Learning Love the Human Way: Reflections on Wode Maya’s View on Marriage Counselling
Renowned Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya once shared a thought provoking opinion: “Don’t go for marriage counselling. Spend time with your partner, make mistakes and discover what works best for you.”
This statement challenges a growing culture where couples quickly turn to external advice instead of first turning to each other.
At the heart of Wode Maya’s message is intentional presence. Relationships are not built in counselling rooms alone; they are built in everyday moments—conversations after long days, shared laughter, disagreements, silence, forgiveness, and growth. Spending time with your partner allows you to truly understand their values, fears, love language, and boundaries in a way no third party can fully explain.

He also emphasizes the importance of making mistakes. Mistakes are often viewed as failures, but in relationships, they can be powerful teachers. Through misunderstandings and conflicts, couples learn patience, communication, and empathy. When handled with humility and love, mistakes strengthen bonds rather than break them.
Another key idea is discovering what works for you. Every relationship is unique. What works for one couple may not work for another, even if the advice comes from experts. By walking the journey together, couples create their own rules, rhythms, and solutions that align with their personalities and life goals.

This perspective does not necessarily dismiss marriage counselling entirely, especially in cases of deep conflict or trauma. However, it reminds couples not to outsource their responsibility to grow together. Counselling should be a support, not a substitute, for effort, communication, and commitment.
In a world quick to seek fixes, Wode Maya’s words encourage a return to the basics: time, honesty, patience, and shared growth. Love is not perfected in theory; it is learned in practice, one day at a time.
