In his sermon, Rt. Rev. Wisdom Budu Ihunwo, Lord Bishop, Diocese of Niger Delta North, explained that marriage between a man and woman was ordained by God for the purpose of procreation.

He said God’s prescription for successful marriage is that a man should love his wife unconditionally, while the woman in turn, should be submissive to her husband.

According to him, adherence to this divine instruction remains the primary recipe for any successful marriage.

The Lord Bishop, Diocese of Niger Delta North, advised the couple to cultivate the good habit of forgiveness irrespective of the offence.

“Learn how to forgive each other. There should be room for forgiveness. Don’t keep records of offences.”

He further enjoined them to always pray together because God is forever disposed to honour whatever they request in accordance to His word.

Rt. Rev. Ihunwo prayed God to bless the marriage and make it abundantly fruitful.
