The President of Worldwide Miracles Outreach, Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, has urged couples to redefine the meaning of Valentine’s Day, saying the occasion should focus on strengthening marriages and building peaceful homes rather than only romance.
Speaking at the awards and dinner night organised by the Peace and Love Foundation on February 14, Dr. Tetteh stressed that marriage thrives on love, patience and understanding.
According to him, marriage is ordained by God and can endure when partners prioritise mutual respect and communication.
Drawing from his 35 years of marriage, he encouraged the younger generation to emulate values that sustain long-lasting unions.
“Valentine’s Day should be a day to express love and foster peace in our homes,” he noted.
