Cleric calls for unity, understanding in marriage
The President of International Church Impact Communion, Bishop Abraham Chigbundu, has advised that with the rise of marital conflict and crisis being witnessed globally, couples need to be reminded of the significance of continually embracing and complementing each other.
According to a statement on Saturday by DAL Strategic Communications, the cleric gave the advice in Owerri, Imo State, at the traditional wedding of Pastor David Achudume and Precious Chukwu.
According to him, it has become necessary to emphasise the importance of mutual support and understanding in marriage to ensure harmony and love reign in the home.
He stressed that it is essential for couples to steer clear of unnecessary fights and crises that can strain their relationship.
He said, “Marriage is a beautiful journey, but it requires effort and understanding from both partners. Men and women are designed to complement each other, not compete. The Bible teaches us that husbands are to provide for and protect their wives, while wives are to nurture and support their husbands.
“When couples understand and respect these roles, they can build a strong foundation for their marriage. Men, take care of your wives and provide for their needs. Women, be supportive and help your husbands in their endeavors.
“By working together and appreciating each other’s strengths, you can create a harmonious and fulfilling marriage.”
In his remarks, the father of the groom, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, who is also the lead pastor of Victory Life Bible Church, congratulated the newlyweds, wishing them a joyous and fulfilling life together as they embark on their new journey.
