The relationship between a man and a woman has a significant impact on the emotional development of their children. Therefore, when they are in conflict, it can have a detrimental effect on their children.

Munyaneza Evariste, who has changed, says that when he lived in conflict with his wife, the children used to run away from him when he came home.

"I've been through a lot. Building a home requires being an example to others so that even your child will say, 'Dad was a man.' Being a man is not walking into the house screaming so they hear you and hide under the sofa or bed – that's not a thing!" he said.

He claims that lack of support at home during couples' conflicts negatively impacts child-rearing.

"When a woman does a lot of work alone, handling all the household chores and taking care of the children, it can lead to illness. Consequently, you might find a child dropping out of school to follow in the mother's footsteps and, as a result, becoming a street child to escape their home household. Subsequently, the child might end up as a prostitute, avoiding marriage due to their parents' relationship,” Munyaneza disclosed.

Despite living in conflict with his wife, Mrs Uwamahoro, it did not stop him from helping her with the housework, due to the upbringing he received from his parents and his home's benefits.

Munyaneza said, "We grew up with five boys and very few girls. My father did all the work. One of my sisters got married and the other went to Uganda. So, it was us who used to take care of the cows and clean their place. Our house would always be clean, and my mother did not have to clean. As I grew up, I learned that there are no women's or men's works."

"The way we were brought up has an effect. When I fight with a lady and she keeps quiet, my son looks at her and says, 'That's how the lady lives! She lives only to be beaten because he saw me beating his mother and she did not speak! But when he saw me helping his mother with everything, he would say, 'There is no woman's work or man's!'" Munyaneza added.

He claims that he is raising their children in a way that fosters an understanding of the principles of equality and harmony.

"The children are young, but I prepare them to love each other so that they see that no child is better than the other. I ask them what they need and bring it to them. I don't say, 'You, son, come here. You, daughter... no! I also try to approach them and ask them how they are learning, so that they see that I am with them, "Munyaneza revealed.

Mrs.Uwamahoro Sifa testified that her husband's transformation brought peace to the family, especially since the conflict had begun to negatively impact the children.

"When there is conflict, there can be no peace in the family. I had reached a point where I felt that whenever he came around, my laughter with the children would unintentionally stop. I saw him as a source of tension, and it seemed like he was always lying. Our child, whom we call Queen, also lost her peace because she knew he was going to say something hurtful. She started wetting herself at the nursery school she attended. It also affected him at work, obviously!” she revealed.

She mentioned that there was a time when he used to come home and she would be humble. However, during those times, the children would play in the living room, and Munyaneza would express his anger towards them and even beat them. Through praying to God, there came a time when he changed for the better.

"Those things they trained him helped him a lot because, after that, I said to him... let's make a decision and move!” she said.

Mrs.Uwamahoro added, “You give what you have! So if you come home and insult ... the children will take it. They reach out to others and express to them those feelings. But when you come home, you converse well, you speak well with children, and they will be smart in school. When you live in peace and you provide a calm environment, will contribute to their good upbringing."

Munyaneza says he now values ​​harmony because it allows couples to make decisions together; the man takes care of the things that bring him value and works to be exemplary as 'Nkorebandebereho'.

He asks men to participate in the child-rearing of their children, and to monitor them in everything including their education because it will help them to be polite and have a better future.
