Beira, 16 November, 2025 / 3:01 pm (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Claudio Dalla Zuanna of the Catholic Archdiocese of Beira in Mozambique has urged couples to restore trust, transparency, and genuine companionship in their homes, stressing that even strained marriages “can still be a marvel.”
In his homily during the Jubilee of Married Couples, organized as part of the ongoing Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year, Archbishop Zuanna warned that couples can easily find themselves “in the middle of the night inside our own home,” with mistrust, infidelity, lack of respect, and even acts of violence destroying family life.
“Sometimes our marriage seems as if the fog is thickening – we no longer know what the other thinks or feels, and each one goes their own way,” the Catholic Archbishop said during the November 15 event that was held at Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral of Beira Archdiocese.
He added, “There should be no space for discouragement in our marriage. We have many advantages when each side is willing to go beyond their limits and correct their attitudes.”
“Our marriages can still be a marvel; the affection between us, intimacy, mutual help, forgiveness, and solidarity become wonderful things that make our marriage a marvel,” the Argentine member of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart (SCI) said.
