Archbishop of Kampala, Paul Ssemwogerere, has taken a swipe at young men of today, questioning why many are increasingly afraid of marriage and seemingly lack the courage to approach women with serious intentions.
The Archbishop wondered whether some men are simply waiting for women to make the first move and eventually marry them, saying this was never how men of previous generations approached relationships.
“These days, you fear getting married. You’re no longer bold enough to initiate serious conversations about marriage. You let girls just hang around as if you’re waiting to be married.”
He also expressed surprise at seeing grown men, including those with beards, appearing on television shows dedicated to helping people find marriage partners, where they publicly share their locations and contact numbers in search of women to marry.

“That’s why some men nowadays are being married by women. I get surprised when I see men with beards on TV searching for women to marry them, even giving out their locations and contact numbers.”
