Outspoken Seventh-Day Adventist Pastor Elizabeth Mokoro has advised women to fight for their marriages despite challenges.
Mokoro said the presence of another woman in their marriage shouldn't be a cause for alarm.
"The presence of strange women, a mistress, a girlfriend or 'mpango wa kando' does not make null and void the spiritual covenant that you have with the husband of your youth," she said amid backlash from social media users.
"Don't jump out of your marriage because you have heard there is some girl somewhere, that is what the devil wants you to do, to walk away, many have walked away," she added

"If you have a man with whom you have no rival, then you have a useless man, kitu kizuri kinapiganiwa, no woman takes a man because they are well dressed, there is something the other woman has seen," Mokoro said.
She further advised women to take good care of their husbands so they cannot be snatched.
"You just sit in the house, and look at him like your brother or a child because you went to school, you don't even respect your husband, there is someone somewhere who will snatch him away from you," she said.
"Don't lie to yourself that if you have a ring on you won't be hit on by other people, evil knows no wedding ring."
The pastor's comment did not sit well with netizens, as some said she has encouraged cheating in marriages, while others supported her saying men were born naturally polygamous.
Mayieka said: "I thought Christianity allows for divorce when it comes to adultery. That aside, this is the kind of advice that I hate. It's pointless to defend a man who wakes up and does everything and anything to embarrass you. Fighting with side chics is not my portion. Abeg!!"
