City Preacher and Founder of Christian Foundation Fellowship (CFF) Bishop Harrison has advised couples against calling each other mummy and daddy.
According to the pastor doing so will lead to familiarity which in return might lead to loss of feelings and attraction to each other.
‘When you call your husband daddy he will end up marrying someone else. How can both you and the kids call him daddy? Itabidid awaletee mama yao.”
To the men, he advised;
“Stop calling your woman mummy, if you call her mum with time mnaanza kuangaliana kama mama na mtoto. She might end up looking for someone else.”
“Mahali umewahi kugongewa, unaweza gongewa tena. The person who gave you kids, even if you see him as a devil with horns, can impregnate you again. If he humbles himself before you, you may end up having a second child with him,”
“I know of a lady who had one child. After her baby daddy apologized, they ended up having a second child. The man told her he was married and would only support the kids. However, the support led to her getting pregnant with two more children, making her a mother of four.”
He also advised young men against marrying too early, urging them to exercise patience.
“Who told you to get married at 21? By the time you reach 27, you may meet your Mr. Right. Men are marrying too early, and when they get home, they often struggle to communicate effectively. Being disturbed by a woman is what we call marriage,” he said.
On a different occasion, he shared his views on why most pastors steal Washirika’s wives.
Speaking during a mass wedding ceremony, the preacher urged men to learn to listen and lend an ear when their spouses speak to them
” Sikiliza bibi. Learn to listen even if it does not make sense. Sikiliza. Elezwa watoto hawafanani ujue vile utasema.
That’s having a wife. Table room is staying and listening to your wife even if you’re sleepy. Listen to her while sipping coffee,” he preached.
Adding;
“Wanawake wanapenda kusikilizwa. The table room is there for listening to your wife. Sometimes I listen to my wife until 2 am,” he shared.
Ng’ang’a also asked men to switch off the television set when their wives wanted to talk to them, noting men can not multitask, unlike women.
Don’t destroy your marriage at the table room; talk to her and listen,” he urged.
