Thirteen
couples were on Saturday in Gwagwalada, Abuja, joined in holy wedlock at the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Clement Igyeseh,
advising them to be faithful to their marital vows.
Igyeseh,
who was also the chief celebrant, gave the advice at a mass wedding organised
by the Catholic Charismatic Renewal for the parish on Saturday in Gwagwalada.
The
celebrant advised the couples to always invite Jesus into their marriages and
give each other attention, affection, appreciation as well as forgiveness.
The
cleric urged them not to allow disagreement among them to degenerate, adding
that there is nothing wrong in apologising when necessary.
“A
woman needs attention, affection and appreciation. Husband, love your wife and
love originates from the heart.
“Of
course, there will be challenges in marriage, no matter what you do; but always
invite Jesus into your marriage.
“Ensure
you support each other financially, spiritually and emotionally, among others.
“It
is a woman who prays for the success of her husband and children and no man
will like to marry a liability,” Igyeseh said.
He,
therefore, encouraged wives to always endeavour to look attractive to their
husbands, saying that the only ugly woman was the one who failed to upgrade her
profile.
Mr
Uche Olisaeke, Cordinator, CCRN congratulated the celebrators, saying that the
prayer group decided to organise the wedding so as to encourage and assist the
church to enrich members spiritually.
”We
discovered that most of our members are not communicants and we decided to
organise the mass wedding in collaboration with the parish priest,” he said.
On
behalf of the celebrators, Mrs Justina Ojor expressed gratitude to God for
making the day possible, and also appreciated the organisers of the wedding for
their initiative.
The
News Agency of Nigeria reports that each of the couples took turns to exchange
their marital vows.
