Life Coach Helen recently had the privilege of speaking with the Bafumbo (married couples) of MUBS Catholic Church before Valentine’s Day. Her insightful presentation, titled Divine Love Story: Embracing Our Vows with Faith, emphasized the sacred commitment of marriage and the importance of nurturing love through faith, communication, and perseverance.
The Foundation of Love
Helen’s talk was rooted in biblical wisdom, reminding couples that love is more than a feeling—it is a lifelong commitment. Quoting 1 Peter 4:8, she highlighted the power of love: “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly.” She also referenced 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, emphasizing the qualities of true love: patience, kindness, humility, and perseverance.
Strengthening Marriage Through Faith and Commitment
Helen discussed key aspects of a strong marriage:
- Embracing Our Vows: Marital vows are a sacred promise to each other and to God. Couples should strive to embody the principles of love, honor, and commitment every day.
- Building a Strong Relationship: She stressed the importance of mutual respect, effective communication, empathy, and shared spiritual growth.
- Overcoming Challenges: Every marriage faces difficulties, but faith and perseverance help couples navigate them. She encouraged open discussions, seeking guidance, and practicing forgiveness.
- Celebrating Love Daily: Simple gestures of love and appreciation, quality time together, and celebrating milestones strengthen relationships.
- Growing Together in Faith: Praying together, participating in church activities, and reinforcing spiritual values help build a lasting bond.
Writing Your Own Divine Love Story
Helen encouraged couples to use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to reflect on their journey together, renew their vows, and celebrate their love with intentional acts of kindness and appreciation.
A Call to Action: Embrace Love and Faith
Helen concluded her presentation with a powerful message: “Let us embrace our vows with faith and love.” The session received heartfelt feedback, with participants expressing appreciation for the insights shared. Many looked forward to more online engagements to continue strengthening their marriages through faith-based discussions.
Final Thoughts
Valentine’s Day serves as a beautiful reminder to cherish our loved ones—not just in marriage, but in all relationships. As one participant aptly put it, “Send people their flowers while they can still see them.” Let us honor love, commitment, and faith in our daily lives.
