Menaye Donkor, wife of Ghanaian footballer Sulley Muntari has revealed that her marriage with the footballer has nothing to do with religion in an interview with Lexis Bill on Joy FM.
Menaye Donkor, the CEO of Miss Universe Ghana says being in an interfaith marriage is about the great relationship between the couple and not on their individual religions.
Inter-marriage is a great tool that leads to togetherness among individuals in a country and religion should not be a thing to bring to create any form of conflict among people with different faith.
A typical example is the Muntari family where the wife, Menaye Donkor is a Christian and Sulley Muntari being a Muslim. The two got married in 2020 and have brought forth two children.
According to her, too much emphasis is placed on religion rather than the true essence of what a relationship entails.
Speaking on Personality Profile on Joy FM, Menaye Donkor, stated that she and Sulley are more concerned about instilling values in their kids than “forcing” religion on them.
“For me as a Christian life is about living a Christ life. How are you doing that? Are you kind? Are you compassionate? That is more important than focusing so much on religion,”
she stated.
The CEO of Miss Universe Ghana added that she and her husband are however teaching their children the basics of each of their religion – Christianity and Islam.
Menaye told Lexis Bill that this will give the kids the mileage to explore their own choice of religion when they grow.
“I want them to be great human beings, I am not too keen on religion,”
she added.
