Pastor Aloysius Bugingo and his fiance Susan Makula erected a posh crib on an expansive property in Namayumba, a settlement in Wakiso District.
Media personality Isaac Daniel Katende, who is popularly known as Kasuku, showed off the storied residential house in a video shared on social media. He had visited the couple for an interview that was posted on his YouTube channel.
Building a house together indicates the couple could be in it for the long term despite some netizens worrying that the pastor could be planning to end the relationship after he was filmed preaching against wedding vows recently.
“Aren’t you the ones who deceive yourselves during weddings? There is nowhere it’s written that it’s death that will separate you. Do you wed to die? Do you wed because you want to die? I asked for that verse and I’ve never seen it. From the beginning to the end, [someone should come and show me where it’s written that a marriage should end only after a partner dies],” he said as part of the congregation clapped.
“Things may refuse. And it’s not death that separates you. I’ve stopped there. Keep thinking about it.”
He said some people fear ending relationships because they are under family and societal pressure.
“People [suffer in marriages and refuse to separate] because they are worried about public opinion, yet the public opinion is not from the Bible, but hell. No verse in the Bible says one should die so the other can move into a new relationship… So, when they die at the same time, does that mean they sinned?” he said.
In the King James Version of the Bible, Romans 7:2 reads: “For the woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.”
Pastor Bugingo was married to Teddy Naluswa until his romance with Makula went public in 2019.
He also accused her of conspiring to steal his church land, citing it among the reasons he could no longer stay with her. He demanded a divorce.
Nasulwa denied the allegations and opposed the divorce petition stating church marriage is meant to last forever and that her husband had no valid issues for divorcing her.
