Notes
Ida went to Naisamula to teach about harmony and unity in marriage . She asked Namukose to open the meeting with a word of God . Ida asked the community members to tell her the meaning of “Unity “ Clovesi said that it’s when a woman and man marry. Susan said that it’s when a husband, wife and children are one. After their input, Ida defined Unity as a couple becoming one flesh. It’s a union of body,mind and spirit that reflects something of Gods nature. Husbands and wives have to value this since it’s a principle in marriage. She continued with the discussion about developing unity. Musenero saiid that they can develop unity by worshipping together, reading the Bible or Quran together. Mutesi a VHT said by cooking together once in a while, this statement made the members laugh so hard because it’s rear men to cook. Ida added on saying that even having one bed will help strengthen the bond and unity in marriage Tibita Moses asked that “ what happens when Unity is practiced?” Members replied as follows: When Unity in marriage is practiced, couples are able to know the importance of marriage. Couples learn how to love and trust each other. Ida thanked everyone who participating and continued with the discussion asking members to mention some reasons as to why Unity in marriage is important . The chairperson Mr Kisira Hassan said that it eliminates selfishness and self centeredness. Rosemary said that it brings openness and trustworthiness in marriage. Nangobi said that it teaches couples to share each other’s pains and joy. Ida added on another reason of cooperation in couples instead of competition. Ida concluded by thanking members for coming and gave them some Bible verses about unity in. Genesis 2:24, Ecclesiastes 4:12 Ephesians 5:28-30. Muhammad closed the meeting with a prayer.
