Catholic Bishop of Wau, Matthew Remijio Adam offered valuable advice to married couples to continuously renew their commitment to each other to sustain and prolong their marriage.
Bishop Adam emphasized the importance of maintaining caring and respectful attitudes towards one another.
His Lordship highlights the negative effects of a decline in communication and the use of endearing terms that were prevalent before marriage.
He pointed out that the failure to uphold these practices could lead to the erosion of the marital bond.
Bishop Adam underscored the common experience where couples, after initially caring for each other, experience a shift in behavior towards one another as their marriage progresses.
He called upon the faithful to seek renewal through prayer and submission to God, emphasizing that their vocation is not solely concerned with the present or the future, but is also deeply rooted in prayer and spiritual growth.
These perceptive remarks were delivered by Bishop Matthew Remijio Adam during his sermon to the congregation at St. Mary Help of Christian Parish in Wau.
