According to the cleric, habits that can polarize the home and sow seeds of discord must be avoided by all means due to the dire consequences that may ensue.

“Learn the art of compromise whenever you perceive wrongdoing between you two.

This would forestall the development of issues that leads to enmity,” he said.

Speaking further, he admonished the newlyweds to be each other’s pillar of support rather than giving up on each other while also stressing the importance of treating each other with dignity and respect.

He also noted that it was good to set realistic expectations, he said that it was also pertinent for the couples to be the best of friends.

“A good marriage is like a good bottle of wine which only gets better with time. As the husband, be responsible for all needs in the home while your wife should support you when she’s capable,” he said.
