The Deputy Governor of Rivers State Dr. Mrs. Ipalibo Harry Banigo has advised newly married couples to be prayerful and put God First in order to make their marriage successful.
The Deputy Governor gave this advice during the solemnization of Holy Matrimony between Miss Maybelle Ejieme Kakulu and Mr. Tonye Lloyd Membere –Otaji at the Christ Church in Port Harcourt.
Dr. Banigo said by taking Maybelle to the alter Tonye has found himself a help mate, stating that patience, tolerance and sacrificial love for one another are virtues that promotes a successful marriage.
The Deputy Governor who congratulated the couple for taking the bold step prayed the Almighty God to give them a blissful marriage.
Earlier the Officiating Minister Rt. Rev Bamidele Ibikunle said marriage is an idea created by God, a programme specially designed for the good of man because God himself said it is not good for a man to be alone and decided to create a woman for the man.
He however regretted that today one of the greatest challenges facing mankind is the deliberate attempt by some people to truncate the will of God by having same sex marriages.
Rt. Rev Bamidele said mutual fidelity, love, commitment and responsibility are hallmarks of a happy marriage.
