During a recent address to congregants, renowned Nigerian preacher and marriage counselor, Reverend Funke Felix-Adejumo, warned married men against compromising their health or well-being in an exhaustive effort to please their wives.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

• Adejumo argued that it is fundamentally impossible for any man to completely satisfy a woman, suggesting that a woman’s nature is to constantly seek enhancement and change.

• As an example, she pointed to common beauty practices—such as replacing natural nails, hair, and eyebrows—to illustrate that since women alter what God has given them, they cannot be fully pleased by human effort.

• She advised husbands to focus on doing their best to provide for their families without placing undue pressure on themselves that could lead to severe health consequences.

• Shifting her message to the women in the audience, Bishop Adejumo strongly advocated for female financial independence, urging wives to cultivate their own income rather than relying solely on their husbands.

• Using biblical references and personal anecdotes—including gifting her husband 61 items for his 60th birthday—she encouraged women to move beyond dependency and empower themselves to contribute to the marriage, and even surprise their spouses, with their own resources.
