ACTIVATED HUSBAND

ACTIVATED HUSBAND– Unmasking and Conquering Six Portraits of Dysfunction in Husbandhood
By Titus Otieno

Activated Husband is a transformative guide for men seeking to redefine husbandhood beyond outdated stereotypes and cultural confusion. In this bold and biblically grounded book, author, speaker, and transformation coach Titus Otieno exposes six common portraits of dysfunction that hinder men from becoming the husbands God designed them to be.

With the clarity of a counselor and the conviction of a coach, Otieno unpacks how spiritual passivity, emotional detachment, mental drift, relational inconsistency, physical neglect, and leadership confusion have sabotaged the sacred calling of husbands. But he doesn’t stop there. Like activated charcoal—designed to absorb toxins and purify—an Activated Husband rises with intentionality, healing, strength, and direction.

Rooted in Scripture, enriched with real-life stories, and infused with practical wisdom, this book will challenge you to confront dysfunction and embrace transformation. Whether you are newly married, seasoned in marriage, or preparing for it, this is your call to step into a new level of purpose, love, leadership, and legacy.

You won’t just read this book—you’ll be activated by it.

And the Awardee is...

Judges Feedback: Activated Husband stands out as a deeply intentional and timely book that speaks directly to men who desire to lead their families with purpose, presence, and integrity. Rather than offering surface-level advice, the book courageously addresses the inner work required of a husband—mindset shifts, character formation, and personal responsibility. Its content is practical, inspiring, and grounded in lived experience, guiding readers to recognise areas that need realignment and offering clear, actionable steps toward healthier marriages, stronger fatherhood, and legacy-driven family life. The writing is clean, engaging, and authentic, allowing the message to flow with clarity while maintaining a relatable and encouraging tone.

Equally notable is the book’s strong presentation and far-reaching impact. The design and illustrations are thoughtfully integrated, enhancing understanding and reinforcing the message rather than distracting from it. Together, content and format create a reading experience that engages the mind, heart, and spirit. Familiar challenges facing men and families are addressed with fresh insight, transforming well-known truths into powerful tools for growth and change. With its depth, accessibility, and relevance, Activated Husband is well suited for individual reading, church groups, counselling contexts, and marriage preparation, making it a valuable and lasting contribution to African Christian literature.

The ‘activated husband’ explores the struggles many men face in marriage,showing how negative patterns and unresolved issues can turn them into dysfunctional husbands and then guides them on how to recognise these traits in themselves. The main goal is to help them become activated huabands ie present,responsibile,intentional…
It’s both a mirror (to see where one might be falling) and a manual (with biblical principles and practical steps to improve)

Such a masterpiece ✨️

Titus Otieno’s book, Activated Husband, is eye-opening and timely. It explores into the real difficulties that many husbands face—spiritually, psychologically, mentally, and more—and provides practical, biblical insight for resolving them. Definitely a must-read for every man who wants to lead with purpose and love effectively.

When Tito speaks about this book and the journey that brought his to writing this book, you can tell that it is special. Grounded firmly in Scripture, the book does more than instruct — it models a way of life that promotes balance, responsibility, and authentic Christian living. The author doesn’t just theorize; he writes from a place of conviction and practice, leading by example and inviting husbands to rise to the high calling entrusted to them.
This book is both insightful and practical, challenging readers to embrace husbandhood not passively but actively — with faith, love, and integrity.

Well done Coach Tito.

Mr. Titus Otieno focuses on activation which means that a man has to pass through the fire to be moulded and shaped so that he can be of great value.
That means from shapeless form to a place of stature(overall development).

I happen to have experienced Pst Tito deep views on husbands through several men forum. This is a book every husband and aspiring husband needs to read. There are blind spots that even we who think we are good husbands have and the book dip dives into the various forms of “husbandry”. Not many authors tackle topics from experience and from Pastor Tito sharing aspects of his marriage “humanises” the book. He is walking the talk. Highly recommended

This book is a solution to the huge vulnerability plaguing many relationships that stand in the way of manhood in society, whether one is in the church context or in the world. It resonates well with the old adage that says marriage was created by God in heaven but is to be maintained here on earth by the activated man as a head of the family. It also corroborates with Dr. Derrick Samuels authorship of a work on “Marriage Mathematics” in which he carefully brings out an exposition on how mathematics keeps what chemistry brought together.

Titus has profoundly detailed this mathematical arrangements that follows what chemistry brought together in marriages and families. The content of this book therefore, is a big medicine bottle and antidote to a plethora of ailing and dysfunctional homes today and most importantly a great recipe for those planning to enter a Christ-centered union and family space.

It is my considered view that whoever picks this book picks hope for both the current and future generations as it heralds a lasting solution to numerous struggles and mental health concerns in relationships and homes.

Among the most endangered species in today’s world is a man living and functioning as he was originally created to. Society, culture, and personal experience have gradually distorted the true image of manhood, leaving behind a caricature far removed from God’s original blueprint.
Activated Husband powerfully addresses this crisis. Titus Otieno doesn’t just expose the dysfunction many husbands silently carry, but he paints a vivid and redemptive picture of what a functional, activated husband looks like. This book goes beyond identifying unhealthy traits (many of which hide in plain sight within us); it offers clear direction and hope for transformation.
What sets this book apart is that it’s not just theory – it’s truth forged through experience. It reads not like a manual, but like a mirror and a map.
I highly recommend Activated Husband to any man – whether you’re a husband, aspiring to be one, or simply seeking to become a present father, strong leader, and true role model in your family, community, and beyond. This is a call to reclaim the man God designed you to be.
