IF SEX IS NOT YOUR THING, YOU SHOULDN'T BE MARRIED - PASTOR GODMAN AKINLABI, WARNS

Speaking during a recent episode of The MorayoShow, Pastor Godman Akinlabi said infidelity in marriage should not always be viewed from a one-sided perspective, arguing that both s+xual incompatibility and a lack of self-discipline can contribute to unfaithfulness.

The pastor explained that some cases of ad¥ltery may stem from situations where one partner feels deprived of intimacy within the marriage. According to him, s+xual compatibility is an important part of a healthy relationship and should not be overlooked by couples.

Akinlabi recounted counselling a woman who told him that s+x was not important to her. Responding to the situation, he said “S+x has to be your thing. If s+x is not your thing, you shouldn’t be married. You’re going to make somebody’s life miserable.”He stressed that intimacy is a significant aspect of marriage and that couples facing challenges in that area should seek help rather than ignore the problem.

He argued that when s+xual incompatibility exists and remains unresolved, some partners may become tempted to seek satisfaction outside the marriage.

However, the pastor maintained that not every case of infidelity is caused by unmet needs at home. He noted that some men engage in extramarital affairs because of what he described as uncontrolled s+xual desires, regardless of the level of intimacy available in their marriages.

Akinlabi emphasized that self-discipline is crucial in maintaining faithfulness, stating that some individuals will continue to look outside their relationships even when their needs are being met. He concluded that lasting commitment in marriage requires both mutual effort from spouses and personal responsibility.
