Ven. Stephen Buteera, Archdeacon of Iryaruvumba Archdeaconry under Muhabura Diocese, challenged married couples to uphold the virtues of marriage during a recent wedding ceremony. Speaking at the wedding of Brian Harindamukama and Merone Harindamukama in Kikungiri Archdeaconry, Kabale Municipality, Buteera warned against focusing on minor issues that can lead to marital breakdown.
He cautioned couples to avoid rumors, infidelity, and public displays of disaffection. Buteera emphasized the importance of mutual respect, regardless of physical appearance, social status, or economic circumstances.
To foster stronger connections, Buteera listed five ways a partner may feel loved:
- Physical touch: Some individuals feel loved through physical affection.
- Words of affirmation: Encouraging words can make a significant impact.
- Acts of service: Helping with tasks can demonstrate love and care.
- Quality time: Spending undivided attention can strengthen bonds.
- Gifts: Thoughtful gifts can show appreciation and affection.
These five ways of feeling loved are often referred to as the “5 Love Languages” concept, developed by Gary Chapman. Understanding your partner’s primary love language can help you express love and care in a way that resonates most deeply with them.
