In his message to the couple, the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr.

According to him” Looking at the calibre of persons who have come to witness this marriage;so they should know that, this marriage lies on the shoulders of the two of them;both of them are responsible for each other,so they must try to ensure that this marriage works and then shame those who feel that it will not work “he added

Earlier,the chief celebrant,Associate priest of St Lawrence’s Catholic church, Koron Tsohuwa, Rev.Fr Moses Ogboji,during his homily harped on the need for the couple to centre their marriage on love, patience and endurance,” most especially,it has to be rapped-up with fervent prayer to God to enable them to enjoy His grace,so as to continue in their marital life”

Speaking further,he made it clear to them and sundry to understand that there’s a striking difference between wedding and marriage” wedding is just a day while marriage is for a lifetime, but most times they are bothered with the preparation for wedding

“and do not know the fact that they are supposed to prepare for marriage and that is where the spiritual and moral aspects of it are usually left-out of their preparation,while they focus on the physical preparation” he reiterated

The Sponsors,Mr and Mrs Godson Anave,maintained that patience is the key word for lasting and workable marriage. According to Mr Godson,” patience, simply patience and nothing else adding ‘its like working for your salvation, you work for yourself,learn to control yourself and be be humble

“respect your spouse and be patient with him or her that’s the only way;smile always and be happy in good and in bad times,with that your marriage will go years and years” he maintained.
