For the Lubwamas, love always wins

When the day of their first date arrived, Kabasinguzi was both shy and excited. Her heart pounded with anticipation as she finally got the chance to meet Lubwama in person. It did not take long for the ice to break. That evening, as they shared stories and laughter, they both realised they had something special. One date turned into another, then another, and soon, love blossomed.

Falling in love

“I love you.” Those were the words that changed everything. Lubwama was not just saying it; he meant it with every fibre of his being. And he showed it, too.

“He always assured me with both his words and actions that he was committed,” Kabasinguzi recalls. She fell in love with his humility, kindness and the way he communicated so openly. And for Lubwama, Kabasinguzi was not just an amazing woman; she was the best cook he had ever known. More than that, she was his rock.

Their love story was rooted in friendship. “Our dating life was simple but meaningful,” Kabasinguzi shares. “We took time to learn about each other, to appreciate who we were as individuals before we became lovers.”

A proposal to remember

One of Kabasinguzi’s favourite memories? The proposal.

“I was completely surprised,” she says, still beaming at the thought. “It happened on a day I least expected, and it made me feel truly loved.”

Lubwama had carefully planned the perfect moment. He started by seeking the blessing of her only brother. Then, during a birthday party for his mother, who had flown in from the United Kingdom, he popped the question, surrounded by close friends and family. Kabasinguzi did not hesitate.

“It was one of the best days of my life,” Lubwama recalls.

Shared dreams

Now, as husband and wife, the Lubwamas are building a future based on love, respect, and faith. Kabasinguzi envisions a God-centred, affectionate, and happy home. Lubwama shares that vision, emphasising openness, mutual respect, and the importance of being good role models for their future children.

Like any couple, they have had their challenges. One, in particular, was so serious that it almost tore them apart. But instead of breaking them, it made them stronger.

“We learnt valuable lessons and used the experience to strengthen our relationship,” Kabasinguzi says.

Lubwama adds, “Whenever we face difficulties, we pray together, forgive each other, and keep our faith strong.”

Advice

The Lubwamas believe in teamwork. They sit down to plan their finances, set goals together, and ensure open communication before making any major decisions.

So, what is their advice for couples planning to marry?

Kabasinguzi encourages partners to build a friendship first, prioritise each other, and pray as a family.

Lubwama emphasises the importance of communication, hard work, and always putting your partner first.

For them, love is not just about emotions; it is about commitment, faith, and standing by each other no matter what. And through it all, love has always won.

As they embark on this lifelong journey together, the Lubwamas remain committed to honouring their vows and teaching their children that love is the reason God exists. Their hope is to be an inspiration to others, showing that, no matter the challenges, love can always win.
