A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Leke Abejide, has called on Nigerians to embrace love, understanding and faith in God to build strong marriages in the face of current economic challenges.
Abejide while urging the people not to allow prevailing economic hardship to tear their families apart, added that sustaining a successful marriage requires adherence to core values rooted in love and mutual respect.
Abejide gave the charge weekend in Abuja during a special thanksgiving service to mark the 50th birthday of his wife, Deaconess Esther Modupe Abejide, and the 20th anniversary of their marriage.
“You sustain marriage with love as it is written in the book of Ephesians Chapter 5; husbands should love their wives and wives should submit to their husbands. This principle has been working for us,” he said.
The lawmaker who represents Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi state also cautioned couples against allowing financial pressures to weaken their homes.
