We are best friends and have been since high school to the extent that many people think we are brother and sister,\u201d says 32-year-old Jonathan Babara.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">Babara, a bachelors degree holder in Social Sciences from Kyambogo University, gospel artiste and entrepreneur says as a couple, they do not take many things too seriously and have a habit of laughing at their mistakes most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cMy husband is the kind of man you will find in the kitchen, feeding our children while I cook, which gives us time to talk about the day. He has no problem helping me with house chores whenever he has the time,\u201d says 28-year-old Caroline Watsemwa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\"><strong>Saved by friendship<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">The couple emphasise the importance of marrying a friend since, they say, this has enabled them to overcome many storms that would have otherwise destroyed their marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">A member of Watsemwa\u2019s family needed to sell his trees that covered a 40-acre piece of land and Babara was given the responsibility with a specific amount of money expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cAs I hunted for buyers, I realised that cutting the trees and selling timber itself gave us a better deal and a window to make some extra cash. I looked for the capital to start cutting the trees and money started coming in. I would bank accordingly and remain with the profit. When the gentleman, who knew all this, came on ground and saw that this was working, he turned against me saying this was not what he had told me to do,\u201d recalls Babara.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cMy wife who knew the story from the start went to her family and engaged them over the details of the matter and it was clear who was wrong. Everyone said \u2018if he had that plan of cutting from the start, where is the evidence of payment made?\u2019 He could not produce it and this is what saved me,\u201d Babara adds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitor.co.ug\/uganda\/lifestyle\/heart-to-heart\/it-is-the-husband-s-responsibility-to-pray-for-his-family-3720506\">Click to read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Babara and Watsemwa have been friends since high school, they believe that their marriage is working because they put God first in everything.
