A marriage Counsellor, Rita Owusu-Brempong has cautioned married couples against the practice of running into the arms of people of the opposite sex to find solace during chal­lenging times.  

According to her, some couples get immediate sat­isfaction from engaging in adultery but later spend the rest of their lives dealing with the consequences.   Speaking in an interview with The Spectator on Sat­urday, Mrs Owusu-Brempong observed with worry how adultery has led to marriag­es.  

She described the devel­opment as unacceptable in the Ghanaian culture as well as in Christianity or Islam which should not be encouraged in the society.

The Marriage Counsellor advised couples who had challenges in their marriag­es to make time to discuss their issues and even seek help from professionals.  

“Who said the person whose arms you are running to is perfect or doesn’t have challenges? Why can’t you use the same energy to accommodate your own spouse and work to make your home better,” she questioned. She advised couples to choose their friends with care, especially those who are God-fearing so they will not lead them astray in difficult times.  

Mrs Owusu-Brempong ad­vised couples to make their homes a peaceful place to live, to promote good men­tal health.

“If you are a wife who nags, stop it, and if you are a husband who does not make time for your wife deal with it immediately so that you do not push your spouse into the hands of another person,” she cau­tioned. She also encouraged couples to cultivate the habit of going on vacations occasionally as a couple or individually because it helped to breathe new life into the marriage.

“It doesn’t have to be at an expensive place or outside the country. A little time alone does the body a lot of good and refreshes the marriage as well,” she said.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
