Tuesday, June 16, 2026 - Veteran Radio presenter, Alex Mwakideu, has stirred conversation with bold advice to married couples against attending couples’ retreats.
Speaking on Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, Mwakideu
said such gatherings may do more harm than good, especially in a country where
many marriages are already under strain.
“Ndoa zinasambaratika hii Kenya,” he declared.
He urged couples to focus on private outings instead of
organized retreats.
“Do not go for a couple retreat. Ukitaka kumpeleka bibi
yako out mpeleke lakini usiende couples retreat at all.”
“Nendeni peke yenyu mkaenjoy,” he advised.
Mwakideu further warned that group outings with married
friends often fuel comparisons, gossip, insecurity and unnecessary pressure.
“In fact, when you get home after couples retreat in kesi
juu ya kesi,” he added.
Drawing from his own experience, he revealed: “For the
years I have been married sijawai kuenda kitu inaitwa couples retreat.”
He advised that privacy and personal time are more valuable
for strengthening intimacy and communication than couples’ retreats.
