Don’t glorify adultery – Marriage Counsellor
Mrs Owusu- Brempong
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.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.
