Why I Need A New Wife Now –– Pastor Anselm Madubuko

One year after losing his wife, Apostle Anselm Madubuko of Revival Assembly Church is getting married to a 33-year-old Kenyan gospel singer, Emmy Kosgei. But people are beginning to ask questions, if one year is not too short for him to move on with another woman.

Pastor Anselm has a contrary opinion. Below are the reasons he give:

"It is how I have chosen to do it. I have decided to move on. I found out that even 10 years will not be enough to forget my late wife. 20 years still will not be enough to forget my late wife. The time anybody remarries has nothing to do with your former partner. And that's one thing people fail to understand. We were married for many years and suddenly I was left alone. It's about many things, companionship.

"Once that person close to you goes, you can never forget the person. It is a matter of picking up one's pieces and moving on. I can't forget Connie, she was my life, it's just about moving on. I don't listen to people. If you re-marry or don't re-marry people must talk. 

"I thought I wasn't going to re-marry but God said that is not his plans for me. He chose Emmy Kosgei for me. I chose to trust God more than my mind. I am looking forward to having more children," he told Encomium magazine.
