Connect Yourselves To Church, Rev. Father Muthamba Urges Couples

Rev. Father Muthamba has urged couples who are married but not through the church, as well as those planning to get married, to seek guidance from church leaders or take their vows in church. This, he believes, will provide them with godly advice to navigate the challenges of marriage and build a strong foundation for their families. By doing so, couples will gain valuable knowledge on how to raise their children under the influence of the Word of God, creating a safe and nurturing environment for them.

Recently, Father Muthamba coordinated a mass wedding of 11 couples at Holy Family Kabati parish. In a press briefing after the ceremony, he called on all couples to consider remarrying under the church and renewing their union under Christ. This, he said, would strengthen their faith and enable them to overcome marital challenges wisely and maintain peace in their homes. "We've been conducting burials of couples who have taken their own lives or killed their partners over small issues," Father Muthamba lamented. "This is all because people aren't engaging in church activities and haven't married under the church."

Father Muthamba also appealed to the government, particularly the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, to crack down on reckless drug-related businesses in residential areas. He believes this will help reduce substance abuse and domestic violence in homes, ultimately preventing premature deaths. "We urge the government to end the sale of alcoholic drinks in residential areas, which will help reduce abuse and domestic violence," Father Muthamba added.

The rise in domestic violence cases has left many children orphaned and raised concerns among church leaders. Father Muthamba's call for couples to seek refuge in the church and find tolerance through the Word of God aiming to stem this tide and create a safer, more peaceful society.
