Founder and General Overseer of Christ Fidelity Church International, Mataheko in Accra Apostle Martin K. N. Cofie has said mothers must not stop becoming wives when childbirth begins to set in in marriage.
He observed that most women abandon their basic matrimonial duties if children are born neglecting their attention for the husband.
This, he said was a potentially explosive situation that could drive a wedge between couples if it persists for a considerable period.
Giving a word of exhortation on Mother’s Day, he said women owe it a duty to themselves and their husbands to pay equal attention to suckling babies and nurturing children as well as the husband if the matrimonial home was to be peaceful.
Apostle Cofie noted that the bearing of children by the wife who is also a mother does not imply she should only be fixated on the children alone and leave the husband emotionally starving.
“The toils and struggles of a hard working virtuous woman for her family would never be in vain as biblically proclaimed”, he intimated.
On her part, Mrs Juliana Asante, Coordinator and Secretary for Gender and Family at Bread of Life Methodist Church, Dansoman Exhibition in an interview said it was the attitude of some women that drive their husbands away.
She said under no circumstance should a woman deprive her husband of emotional and sexual satisfaction or feel shy before him during intimacy.
She advised couples to always pray and study the word together to grow in Christianity.
The Vice- President of St Mary’s Guild, St Augustine Anglican Church, Dansoman Madam Mabel Quarm advised mothers not to rest on their oars but continue to stand in the gap for husbands and their children adding that God would not cease to strengthen them.
