Canon Samuel Twakiire, the Father’s Union Chairperson at Rweibare Church of Uganda, Bugangari Archdeaconry, North Kigezi Diocese, has urged married couples to remain committed to their marriages for sustainability.
Speaking today during the Father’s Union celebration at Rweibare Church of Uganda, Canon Samuel emphasized that marriage is like a school where one receives a certificate before the congregation, but it is the responsibility of the couple to maintain it until death separates them.
He encouraged couples to love and respect each other to ensure a lasting and happy marriage. Additionally, Canon Samuel advised women to respect their husbands to safeguard their marriages, while also stressing that men should respect their wives to promote harmony in the home.
Grace Twakiire Abireho, the Christian leader at Rweibare Church of Uganda, echoed similar sentiments, urging women to respect their husbands and calling on men to love their wives. She emphasized that a family grounded in love and faith in God is blessed and free from conflicts, encouraging other married couples to prioritize love for each other and for God in their homes.
Father’s Union members at Rweibare Church of Uganda, led by Magezi Ben and Mike Tumuranye Bitaniso, expressed their joy during the celebration. They described the day as a blessing and encouraged other married couples to join the Father’s Union to gain more knowledge for sustaining their marriages.
They highlighted that for men to earn the respect of their wives, they must be exemplary by fulfilling their responsibilities. The members also stressed the importance of unity in families, noting that family unity is the cornerstone of national unity and development. They pointed out that when a family is united, they can achieve better outcomes in all aspects of life.
Robinah Tusingwiire, the priest at Rweibare Church of Uganda, emphasized that only God can change a person’s life.
