The Sub-Dean of the South Rwenzori Diocese of the Church of Uganda, Rev. Robert Ziwa, has urged married couples to make true love, faith in God and mutual respect the foundation of their marriages if they are to enjoy lasting and successful family life.
Rev. Ziwa said strong marriages are built on mutual respect, unwavering commitment and open communication. He noted that couples should nurture their friendship, practice emotional intelligence and face life’s challenges together as partners rather than adversaries.
He made the remarks while presiding over the wedding ceremony of Johnson Tsotsana and Noerine Muhindo Tsotsana at the Anglican Cathedral in Kasese Town on Saturday.
The cleric also encouraged couples to embrace reconciliation, consultation and forgiveness whenever disagreements arise, saying these values are essential for building peaceful families and communities.
Speaking at the ceremony, Miso Isaiah, the father of the groom, and Dr. Agaba Bridge Kiiza Murokole advised the couple to always put God first, remain united and engage in charitable work to strengthen both their spiritual growth and social wellbeing.
In their remarks, Johnson Tsotsana and Noerine Muhindo Tsotsana pledged to remain committed to one another, promising to uphold love, trust and faithfulness throughout their marriage.
