Stop Referring to Your Partner as “Mummy” or “Daddy” – Bishop Harrison

City preacher and founder of Christian Foundation Fellowship (CFF), Bishop Harrison, has advised couples to avoid addressing each other as “mummy” and “daddy.”

According to the pastor, such terms can breed overfamiliarity, potentially diminishing romantic feelings and attraction between partners.

“When you call your husband ‘daddy,’ he might end up marrying someone else. How can both you and the kids call him ‘daddy’? Itabidi awaletee mama yao,” he remarked.

Addressing men, he added:
“Stop calling your wife ‘mummy.’ If you keep calling her ‘mum,’ over time you’ll start seeing each other as mother and child. She might eventually seek attention elsewhere.”

The pastor further shared some insights on relationships, stating:
“Mahali umewahi kugongewa, unaweza gongewa tena. The person who gave you children, even if you see him as a devil with horns, can still father another child with you. If he humbles himself before you, a second child might happen.”

To emphasize his point, Pastor Harrison shared an anecdote about a woman who had one child with her ex. After her baby daddy apologized, they had a second child together. Though the man admitted he was married and could only provide financial support, their interactions led to two more pregnancies, making her a mother of four.

Additionally, the pastor urged young men not to rush into marriage, advocating for patience and maturity before settling down.

“Who told you to get married at 21? By the time you’re 27, you might meet your Mr. Right. Men are marrying too early, and when they get home, they often struggle to communicate effectively. Being disturbed by a woman is what we call marriage,” he explained.
