Marriage Does Not Cure Cheating, Says Pastor Rwomushana
Marriage does not stop people from cheating, according to Pastor Isaac Rwomushana.
During a discussion on Emeka’s podcast, the preacher argued that many people enter marriage believing it will solve personal weaknesses when the real issue is a lack of self-discipline.
The church says that if one is married, then we are helping them not to be a certain way. Which is not right.
Rwomushana pointed to the number of long-term marriages that have still ended up in scandal as evidence that a wedding ring cannot transform someone’s character.
People who have been married for 25 years ended up messing up. So messing up is not cured by giving you a ring in church and wedding you in a big ceremony.
Instead, he believes people remain faithful only when they learn to control themselves and take responsibility for their actions.
You mess up because you want to mess up. You mess up because you failed to master yourself.
In his view, no amount of pressure from relatives, church leaders, or influential families can stop someone who lacks self-control.
Because no one is going to stop you from messing up. Not your father-in-law, not your mother-in-law. Even if you marry a general’s daughter, you will mess up with all the titles and everything that is supposed to scare you.
Rwomushana made the remarks during a broader discussion about marriage, singleness, and church expectations, maintaining that people should focus on developing character and self-mastery rather than treating marriage as a solution to personal weaknesses.
