Mercy Masika to Host Becoming a Wife Masterclass as Marriage Debate Emerges

Gospel singer Mercy Masika is set to host the Becoming a Wife Masterclass, a programme organised by Women of Light Ministry to guide women on marriage and relationships through biblical teachings.

The masterclass will run from November 21 to December 12, 2026, featuring seven sessions exploring topics including biblical marriage, the dynamic woman, building, intimacy and warfare.

Masika will lead the programme, with Lady Bishop Kathy Kiuna among the guest speakers announced so far. However, the venue and details of any additional speakers have not been provided in the event announcement.

What the Becoming a Wife Masterclass Will Cover

The programme is designed to offer Christian teachings on marriage, focusing on the role of women in relationships and the principles organisers believe can help them prepare for married life.

Its seven sessions will explore various aspects of marriage, including biblical foundations, personal development, building a relationship, intimacy and spiritual warfare.

Women interested in participating have been invited to register through the contact number provided in the organisers’ announcement.

The programme’s focus on preparing women for marriage has also drawn attention to Masika’s own experience as a married woman and the lessons she may share with participants.

Mercy Masika’s Marriage Journey

Masika has been married to David Muguro since 2008, and the couple have built a family together over the years.

Her upcoming masterclass comes against the backdrop of her experience navigating marriage alongside her career in gospel music.

The programme provides an opportunity for women seeking faith-based guidance on marriage, with Masika and the announced guest speaker expected to lead discussions around the themes outlined by the organisers.

Masterclass Sparks Debate Over Marriage Preparation

The announcement has also prompted questions from some social media users about why marriage preparation programmes often appear to focus more on women than men.

Critics have questioned why similar initiatives teaching men how to become better husbands do not receive comparable attention, arguing that building a healthy marriage requires effort and responsibility from both partners.

The discussion has raised broader questions about whether marriage preparation should target women alone or encourage both men and women to develop the skills needed for a successful relationship.

Supporters of the masterclass maintain that women seeking Christian guidance on marriage should be free to access such programmes. Others argue that equal attention should be given to men’s responsibilities and contributions within marriage.
