William Ruto: Why phone texts are dangerous for marriage Addressing the traditional wedding of Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi and Murang'a Woman Representative Betty Maina on November 18, Ruto said marriage was not easy. She Has Never Cheated Speaking on a light note, the head of state said that for the last 32 years he had been married to Mama Rachel, he had to struggle because keeping a marriage intact is difficult. The president cautioned the newlywed UDA party lawmakers to avoid reading each other's phone messages because they might come across unfriendly SMSs. "I have been with Rachel for 32 years, and I have really struggled. Just like the bishop has said, marriage is difficult, and you must hold onto it. Don't listen to rumours, don't touch someone's phone. Because there are a lot of messages, and some are sent by people out to break other people's marriages," Ruto said as the audience burst into laughter. The Kenya Kwanza leader compared phones to social media, arguing that it can make one go mad. "Leave alone your husband's phone, and husbands should equally avoid their wife's phones. Phone is like social media; it can make you go mad," he added. In a related story, First Lady advised newlyweds Maryanne Mudavadi and Nyaga Karanja to trust in God for their marriage to last. The First Lady was among the guests who attended MaryAnne and Nyaga's wedding, which was held on October 28 at St. Austin's Catholic Church in Lavington. The wedding was attended by prominent people, including rich kids and businessmen, and singer Samidoh performed, leaving guests wowed. Addressing the newlyweds, Rachel gave a lovely speech full of wisdom. "A good wife comes from the lord. I want to pray that you will take care of this beautiful girl because marriage is work. You cannot sit and imagine things will just work out. The greatest foundation you can build for your family in marriage is to put your trust in God," she said.
