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Activated Husband is a transformative guide for men seeking to redefine husbandhood beyond outdated stereotypes and cultural confusion.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.

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.
As part of the award, Titus Otieno received a Kes 10,000 Printing Voucher, generously sponsored by Christian Literature Communications - CLC Kenya – Print on Demand, to support continued publishing and distribution of quality Christian literature.

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.
Pastor Titus is an inspiration to all generations,may God continue to bless you and enable you to share what God has deposited in you.
I love how the book has infused Scripture with practical life stories
Activated husband’s a very great book full of inspiration, The sky is just but the lower limit keep soaring high Mr.Titus Otieno
A must to have in my library….
Activated Husband is a timely book for men who want to forge a functional and thriving family headship
The book is a must have,great insights and teachings from the best coach, husband and father.
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.
Highly recommend for every man ready to lead his family the Christ way – activate yourself with a copy.
Looking forward to having a read & get inspiring insights 🤞🏾🤞🏾
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).
When a man surrenders to God’s calling to empower and transform other men, he becomes a true vessel of impact. Activated Husbands is not just a book—it is a powerful resource and essential tool for every husband seeking growth and purpose.
Activated Husband is a bold and inspiring book that redefines modern partnership, exploring the balance of love, responsibility and personal growth in marriage. It empowers men to rise into intentional leadership and authentic connection within their families and communities. Well deserved Titus!
Great Job Titus!
Apart from being a great Author, you are a great leader, helping communities all round.
A must have book for husbands. Keep encouraging the men Titus Otieno.
Activated husband is a fabulous work with a well thought out outlay of premises to liberate a struggling marriage. A must read for both married and unmarried Masciline person.

Not only a must have, but a MUST READ book for all men and women who want their marriages to thrive.
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.
Aggrey Oyiengo Ambani, Chair Board of Trustees and Director, men’s ministry for Worldwide Miracle Ministries.
Keep inspiring Coach Tito. All activated Husbands will indeed stand with intentionality and direction as God orders their steps.
This book is a Gem. It is a much needed resource in our current times.
Impact filled Book 📖
I Looove it 🤝🏾
Congratulations Coach Tito. Great work with the book Activated Husband
Coach Tito possesses a God-given talent to communicate with clarity, wisdom, and impact. A very necessary voice in our current generation.
This book counters worldly beliefs with God’s word. He unapologetically calls our husbands, fathers and sons to be what God destined for them. It also shows you a man’s world chasing after God.
Activated husband’s a very good book full of inspiration
A book that every husband should read. Looking forward to the next one!
Good work Tito ,may the Lord continue enriching you to impact on more men,and families at large.

Activated husband has always been in my bag.i read an re-read it to keep check on myself a husband.
I recommend every husband should have this book
The book appears to take a direct, actionable approach helping men shift from harmful stereotypes and dysfunction toward healthier, faith based leadership in marriage.
Great transformation coach.Insightful both in writing and speaking.Coach Tito’s sessions are life changing.
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.
Great inspirator…
A book of awareness, guidance and help in breaking free from dysfunctional relationships.This book will help one break free from abnormal or unhealthy interpersonal behaviour or interaction within groups.
Would highly recommend it.
Activated Husband is an insightful book helping men to navigate the challenging world around them in relationships, responsibilities, and role.
Coach Tito as we call him is a seasoned author, mentor, and speaker.
This was an awesome read. My husband was really excited about the Content and its presentation too. Absolutely transformative. Congratulations to Titus for boldly addressing the men and answering the call of God.
Great work Pastor, Keep aiming higher.
Life-changing! Transformative!
May God keep you Pastor Titus
