🤝 Marriage is not a competition.

It’s a partnership built on trust, respect, and commitment.

💍 There is no perfect partner in marriage— Strong marriages are not free of conflict.

Happy and lasting relationships are built on:

💬 Open & honest communication

🤝 Respect of differences

❤️ Nurture intimacy

✔️ Shared values

🙏 Forgiveness

🌱 Willingness to grow - individually and together

When one spouse wins and the other loses, the relationship loses.
Choose teamwork. Choose grace. Choose love.

— Marriage Commissioner & Couples Resilience Coach Mentor JJ Jean Jacques Mitakaro

Coaching & Mentorship are priceless! Sincere thanks to Bob Wyatt for coaching and mentoring me as a rookie Marriage Commissioner when I got appointed back in 2018. After 6 years of service as a Trusted Non-Religious Marriage Commissioner, I am delighted to coach and mentor new/rookie Marriage Commissioners whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks again Bob.

🎤A happy marriage is the one where both spouses are happy, not happy wife, happy marriage nor happy husband happy marriage. Marriage Commissioner JJ always reminds newly married couples that they can be unstoppable duos as long as they trust and respect each other, help each other grow as human beings and professionals and build a trusted relationship, a special bond that transcends normal relationships, something so pure and so wonderful that each of them can’t imagine spending another day of their life without the other. This is also valid for established couples. It's never too late to build such bond. Happy New Year from Marriage Commissioner JJ and the Weddings & Events by JJ team. ✅❤️🇨🇦🇧🇮

Weddings & Events by JJ is delighted to announce new services:
1) Marriage preparation sessions
2) Marriage coaching
How far can you go as a couple? Marriage Commissioner JJ always remind newly married couples that they are Unstoppable Duos. There is nothing they cannot do if they work together as a team. I encourage them to be creative, imaginative, innovative, and to develop a strong sense of compromise. If they do, they will make anything they desire real.
Did you know?
1) There is no perfect marriage! Marriage is fantastic but it's not always fun.
2) Marriage is an enterprise owned by the spouses with equally shared rights and responsibilities. At least it should be. Forget the "happy wife, happy marriage", it's all about "happy spouses, happy marriage".
3) Spouses are shareholders who get together to form a couple with their strengths and weaknesses. They should support each other to grow as human being and professional within the marriage. Preparation is key! Coaching works.
Prior tying the know, invest time in preparation sessions

🎤Join hands, look into each other's eyes, see the beauty of what is about to happen, and remember this fantastic moment in time! I can't tell how I enjoy being part of these amazing moments. This one was special as both the Groom and the Bride are my countrymen (gatumba, abiwacu). Congratulations, Latifah & Abdoul. Thanks for choosing to officiate your marriage ceremony. You were so beautiful. All the best. Felicitations! ✅❤️🇨🇦🇧🇮
