What you need to know:

  • My prayers go to those innocent souls called children who are being tortured by the fights of their parents and those young women who have been tricked by men full of lust.
  • First, in relationships, it takes two to tango. We are never perfect people, but God expects us to avail ourselves so as to become people who will make a difference. This is how relationships grow

Dear Kitoto,

Reading your articles has made me a better person. I am married with two beautiful children.

I am of the opinion that marriage in Kenya is not in crisis rather, it is riddled with problems whose solutions can easily be found.

Mine is a testimony that God can change you and give you a husband.

He has been with me through thick and thin for four years now. My two sisters and I were brought up by a single mother. I did not know how to handle men and I always raised my voice at the slightest provocation.

I am not saying I am all good but I am changing with the help of God and his love for me. My prayers go to those innocent souls called children who are being tortured by the fights of their parents and those young women who have been tricked by men full of lust.

May our God remember them. Keep up your good work.

Mary

 

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I like the fact that you have brought out several issues related to marriage:

First, in relationships, it takes two to tango. We are never perfect people, but God expects us to avail ourselves so as to become people who will make a difference. This is how relationships grow.

You must become the right partner before you push for your partner to do the right thing.

Second, as marriage partners, we must use the opportunity to serve each other. A relationship where you get in expecting your partner to make you happy and fulfill all your needs is selfish to say the least.

Last but not least, in marriage, parents set the tone for the home environment and how the children will be brought up.

Parents play an important role in who their children become and they must therefore lead by example.

Being a good role model is more powerful that words. I am glad that this forum was of help to you.
