    today there are a lot of single mothers
  • 00:00:14
    in the world are actually outnumbering
  • 00:00:17
    mothers who have husbands and you know a
  • 00:00:20
    lot of women who have husbands their
  • 00:00:22
    husbands are working
  • 00:00:24
    in other countries
  • 00:00:26
    and and very often we also have a father
  • 00:00:28
    that is
  • 00:00:30
    not
  • 00:00:31
    um
  • 00:00:33
    really connecting with his wife and his
  • 00:00:35
    children so basically these women are
  • 00:00:37
    single so we have a lot of single
  • 00:00:39
    mothers
  • 00:00:40
    in the world today and it's so important
  • 00:00:43
    for us that we will reach out and
  • 00:00:45
    support these single
  • 00:00:47
    parent families because the single
  • 00:00:50
    parent family is under a lot of pressure
  • 00:00:52
    usually the mother has to earn to earn a
  • 00:00:55
    living she's got to support her family
  • 00:00:57
    she has to be mother and father she
  • 00:00:59
    carries this incredible
  • 00:01:02
    load on her shoulders her responsibility
  • 00:01:05
    for her children and she really needs
  • 00:01:07
    support for this
  • 00:01:09
    and
  • 00:01:11
    what we advise is that you know the
  • 00:01:13
    husband and wife that has gone through
  • 00:01:15
    the world visa father training the
  • 00:01:17
    mother design training that they will
  • 00:01:19
    come alongside the single mother as the
  • 00:01:21
    mental family that they will not take
  • 00:01:23
    over or
  • 00:01:25
    or anything like that because the single
  • 00:01:27
    mother remains responsible for her
  • 00:01:29
    family
  • 00:01:30
    and um of course we we put in a lot of
  • 00:01:34
    boundaries a lot of guard rails and to
  • 00:01:37
    ensure that
  • 00:01:38
    things go well and we also say that the
  • 00:01:41
    communication must flow through the
  • 00:01:43
    single mother and the mental mother the
  • 00:01:46
    wife of the father figure
  • 00:01:48
    and that
  • 00:01:49
    and this is also to ensure that we do
  • 00:01:52
    not have any problems there
  • 00:01:54
    with with
  • 00:01:55
    relationships perhaps happening that
  • 00:01:57
    shouldn't be there so we are thinking of
  • 00:01:59
    all these possibilities and we also say
  • 00:02:02
    there must be like a super visionary
  • 00:02:04
    body a third person or a third couple or
  • 00:02:08
    third
  • 00:02:10
    couples group of couples that come
  • 00:02:12
    alongside the single mother and the
  • 00:02:16
    mentoring family to ensure that things
  • 00:02:19
    are are straightened out that there's a
  • 00:02:21
    safe place where they can put any
  • 00:02:22
    problems because we want this
  • 00:02:25
    relationship to be a lasting one we want
  • 00:02:29
    it to be a lasting one because the
  • 00:02:30
    single mother's children have been
  • 00:02:32
    exposed to a lot of losses and problems
  • 00:02:35
    so we want this to be
  • 00:02:38
    a problem-free long-lasting
  • 00:02:41
    relationship
  • 00:02:42
    and why is this so important because the
  • 00:02:45
    children of the single mother they need
  • 00:02:48
    a father figure in their lives they need
  • 00:02:51
    what what is taken what is learned from
  • 00:02:53
    all the father roles they need to to
  • 00:02:56
    know and to be affirmed uh when that is
  • 00:02:59
    necessary specifically between the ages
  • 00:03:01
    of six and eight and actually their
  • 00:03:03
    whole life through they need this the
  • 00:03:05
    boys and the girls and they also need to
  • 00:03:08
    see what a father does what a father
  • 00:03:10
    does in the family because
  • 00:03:12
    they must know this so that the boys
  • 00:03:14
    know how i can be a father one day and
  • 00:03:17
    also they need to see husband they need
  • 00:03:20
    to see the interaction of husband and
  • 00:03:21
    wife because they see mother the girls
  • 00:03:24
    see mother but they don't see
  • 00:03:27
    the wife roles and this is so important
  • 00:03:30
    that they will see this that they can
  • 00:03:32
    build up a store of references to see
  • 00:03:35
    and know what married life looks like
  • 00:03:38
    and what a father looks like and what a
  • 00:03:40
    father does
  • 00:03:41
    because you know there are so many
  • 00:03:43
    children from single families today and
  • 00:03:47
    and we know that we must come and
  • 00:03:49
    support them because they will also
  • 00:03:52
    become
  • 00:03:53
    marriage partners of our children and
  • 00:03:55
    and we want them to know exactly what
  • 00:03:58
