Ugandan singer and politician Catherine Kusasira, also known as Mama Kabiina, has advised fellow women to avoid jealousy in relationships, describing it as a sign of distrust that can damage marriages.
She shared her thoughts as she celebrates eight years of marriage with Fred Sserugga.
Speaking during an interview, Kusasira opened up about her own marriage and explained why she has never felt jealous toward her husband. According to her, the strong bond, trust, and togetherness they have built over the years have kept their marriage stable and peaceful.
Kusasira explained that jealousy cannot stop a man from cheating if he already intends to do so. She noted that jealousy often leads to fights, quarrels, disrespect, and abusive behavior, which eventually destroy love and relationships.
"Even if you are jealous, a man who wants to cheat will still go out and look for other women. What most men want is peace, discipline, and submissiveness from their partners. Trust me, he will always remain yours alone because very few women can provide that kind of care," she said.
She further advised women to create peaceful and happy homes for their partners instead of causing unnecessary stress and conflict.
"I'm not a jealous type of woman because my man already chose me, and that's why we are married," Kusasira said.
According to Kusasira, having children together creates a deeper connection between partners and strengthens trust in a relationship.
"The moment you both have children, it means you have a strong connection, so for me there's no need to be jealous. Mr. Sserugga decided once and for all," she added.
Kusasira also shared her views on parenting, saying that many women who complain about irresponsible fathers often fail to plan properly before starting families.
"For us, we had children after proper planning. He has given me everything, and I'm not complaining," she said.
She further revealed that Sserugga's favorite song from her music catalog is "Sweet Wange I Love You."
Kusasira credited the longevity of their marriage to the fact that her husband needs her beyond just love, something she believes is very important in relationships.
"What has kept us going for this long is that Sserugga needs me more than he loves me. Men can love many women, but it doesn't mean they truly need you," Kusasira explained.
