Mbusiso and Pretty NdlovuRecently, Winston and Susan Nyamayaro from Family Impact held the Marriage Course at Shalom Camp Site with couples representing different churches within the community. The churches that took part were General Foundation Zion, New Life, Presbyterian Church and Crossroads Community Church. Mbusiso and Pretty Ndlovu represented Crossroads. They had an amazing wedding at Crossroads in April and are doing extremely well. Both Mbusiso and Pretty work at Ebenezer. I caught up with Pretty after The Marriage Course and this is what she said:
M.M: This is your second time on the Marriage Course. Did you enjoy it and what did you learn?
P.N: Yes, I enjoyed it very much. I learnt how to build our family, how to look after them and also about health and hygiene.
M.M: Were there any specific highlights on the different sessions?
P.N: The highlight for me was putting God at the centre in our family, teaching our children to obey and to know God so that they get older they will obey the leaders and people in the community. Another highlight was learning the importance of keeping our homes and physical bodies clean to prevent disease and to glorify God in the way we live. Our bodies are the temple of the God.
M.M: What do you think was most challenging for the married couples?
P.N: The whole area of listening to your partner, ignoring your partner’s feelings, looking down on your partner which can result in them feeling lonely.
M.M: As the Marriage Course is being tweaked to be more suitable for rural families, do you feel that the topics are relevant and would you recommend it to other married couples?
P.N: Yes
M.M: Something that everyone loves talking about – how was the food?
P.N: The food was good and excellent. We ate alot of meat and had tea with milk. There were also different soups, rice, eggs, toast, beans and sadza.
M.M: Sounds really nice. Thanks so much Pretty. May God continue to bless your marriage to Mbusiso.
