According to the Priest, the quest for equality, lack of relationship with God, lack of intimacy with each other serve as foxes in marriages.
He spoke on the topic “Foxes that ruin marriages,” and quoted copiously from different books of the Holy Bible such as Songs of Solomon 2:15 and Amos 3.3 among others.
“If you allow foxes into your marriage, it will spoil your home, hence there is a need for married couples to close every gap that will allow foxes to destroy it.
“Everyone has a responsibility when it comes with the issue of dealing with foxes in every home.
“Foxes are lack of relationship with God also serve as foxes. Another one is lack of intimacy with each other while walking together in building their material vows. Amos 3.3, do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” he said.
