On the morning of November 1st, AWiBers participated in a heartfelt and practical seminar titled “Understanding Your Spouse,” led by Frehiwot Worku. The session explored the dynamics of marriage and partnership, emphasizing that while relationships naturally come with challenges, these challenges can be managed and transformed into valuable lessons for growth.

It was highlighted how family background and one’s social circle greatly influence behaviors, communication styles, and expectations in a relationship. Participants reflected on the importance of not taking things personally, creating a healthy environment within the relationship, setting clear boundaries, and listening carefully to truly understand their partner’s personality and needs.
