After the recap. Ida introduced a new topic with a question.” What do you understand by the phrase unity in marriage ?” Different members gave answers which were correct according to their understanding. Ida defined unity in marriage asa couple becoming one flesh in a union of body, mind and Spirit that reflects God’s nature. We discussed about the ways to develop unity, how oneness can be practiced and what happens when oneness is practiced. Ways to develop oneness members gave answers as follows: Worshiping, reading, walking and cooking together are some of the ways to develop oneness. Ida concluded by asking the community members “ why should oneness be practiced in marriage?” Mugoya said that oneness eliminates selfishness. Clovesi said that oneness produces corporation and eliminates competition. Mary said that couples are open to each other in all things.
