The International Women’s Ministry Director of the Church of Pentecost (COP), Mrs Philomena Mireku admonished couples to make Christ the foundation of their marriage in order to build a strong family life.
According to her, many marriages which were not built on Christian, values were under threat of collapse due to lack of commitment of couples.
Mrs Mireku said this at a marriage seminar organised by the Nsakina New Town District of the church in the Anyaa Ablekuma Area in Accra on Sunday.
Dubbed “Building a strong family life to possess the nations”, the seminar formed part of effort of the church to build strong marital bond among couples and educate them on the need to build a family life in Christ.
She said that marriage was an institution ordained by God and for it to be successful, the foundation should be built on the word of God.
“Marriage is the potential for an intense, deep and diverse intimacy. It bears no record of wrong doing rather it is full of compassion,” Mrs Mireku said.
She entreated the youth who were yet to enter into marriage not to rush but seek the face of God as marriage was a life time institution.
The Nsakina New Town District Minister of the COP, Pastor Samuel Acheampong also entreated men to see their role as minister in shaping their homes while urging women to be submissive and always make God a focal point of their marriage.
That, he said, was the surest way for couples to enjoy the “fruit of their marriage.”
“Marriage is all about sacrifices, don’t be too selfish, think about satisfying your spouse in every area including sex. Do not only be interested in what you can get, consider your spouse in your decision making. In marriage you need to be patient with your spouse in handling their flaws,” Pastor Acheampong added.

Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
