RONALD & MAUREEN MASEMBE
How did you meet?
Ronald: We were neighbours. I came to their town when she was in school. I liked her, but waited until she completed O’level. Unfortunately, she could not continue because during the vacation, she became pregnant.
Oh! you were not using protection?
Ronald: (Laughs) May be if ‘O’ condom was there, it would have saved the situation.
Why did you choose her?
Ronald: I liked her physique, but specifically, her eyes and legs charmed me most!
Maureen: I loved his courage and seriousness. He would confront me often and look me straight in the eyes!
What is killing relationships?
Ronald: Financial pressure. Some people have turned love into a commodity. A serious man ends up being detoothed to poverty. These men in turn, may decide to revenge and hurt genuine female lovers!
Anything you have learnt from each other?
Ronald: Patience. It helps to solve many issues because a patient person does not quarrel easily.
Any problem with the phone?
Maureen: No secrets! He is free to carry my phone and I am free to carry his.
What is the loveliest moment in your relationship?
Maureen: These two Valentine’s Day nights at Ssese were very memorable.
What next?
Ronald: Till death does us part!
JOSEPH AND MIRIAM SSERWANGA
Where did you meet?
Joseph: At a friend’s place. I picked interest and the chemistry worked. Miriam: It was timely. It was God who planned our meeting.
Why did you go for him?
Miriam: He was serious! All the previous proposals were driven by lust. His was directed towards commitment.
Why do men delay to commit?
Joseph: Many fear responsibility, while others want to enjoy life. Most importantly, men think of getting money first, THINKING the money gets you a good wife.
What is killing relationships today?
Joseph: Lack of communication.
Miriam: Moral degeneration is another issue. Too much cheating causes instability, killing and acid attacks!
How do you handle your finances?
Miriam: We have a joint bank account and we support each other. When he has money and I don’t, he will help and vice versa.
How about your phones?
Miriam: It is usually insecure couples who have problems with phones. We have been married for seven years and we trust each other completely.
What has been the loveliest moment?
Joseph: For the last three years, we have been getting surprises! In 2008, we went to Camp Rocks in Mpigi on Valentine’s Day. Last year we were in Kalangala at Palm Beach. This time we are at Ssese Habitat Resort. Maybe next year we will be in Hawaii!
Does Valentine’s Day mean anything to you?
Joseph: It is a day we rejuvenate our love. We get time for ourselves and get refreshed.
No date for me...

Men are liars; they say I will marry you when they only want to sleep with you! My experience with men has made me hate them. I am tired of men; they are never satisfied! Anyway, I have learnt that showing too much love is dangerous because you will love with your heart when your partner only wants sex.
Sulaya Mugisha
I had given up on women when someone I loved with all my heart broke it. It is only recently that I fell in love again. Unfortunately, she was away and couldn’t make it here.
Winnie Nantambi
I don’t have a partner, because real love is scarce today. What is abundant is lust, selfishness and love for money. It is give me money and I give you sex or vice versa. That is why some women have more than one man. Even when married, women go ahead and have affairs. In fact, I always break people’s hearts when I realise they are not faithful and let go before they chuck me!
Muhammed Kaooza
My wife just delivered; we agreed that I come alone. However, she asked me to take her a gift and I will take her the hamper I found in my room. My six years’ experience in marriage has taught me that trust and understanding are basic in love.
Carol Nakku
I don’t have love. I just came here to have fun. Love stresses me. Men are stress factors! They are cheats and heart-breakers! It is rare to find a man who loves you as you are. The only solution is Christ. How can love break people’s hearts; make people kill each other? Anyway, I have been disappointed and I gave love a break.
Kato Bufumbo
I had to leave my wife behind because we are business partners and one of us had to run the shop. Besides, we have always celebrated the day. But I will make sure she is compensated when I return.
In love, when you are genuine, you will stand by each other, be it in sickness, poverty or any difficult situation. I know all women love money, but the one at home will not consume more than the intruders!
Claire Ndibalekera
My husband, DJ Junior of Club Silk, died! I miss him so much especially on Valentine’s Day. If he was still alive, we would have been at Club Silk till late in the night. We used to celebrate it every year; he always took me to special dinners and special treats at Club Silk. It is still not easy to date because I cannot stop thinking about him.
Coupled up and loving it!
