Don’t exhaust yourselves trying to please women, Pastor Funke Adejumo tells married men

Popular cleric and founder of Agape Christian Ministries, Pastor Funke Adejumo, has advised married men against losing themselves in an attempt to satisfy their wives, saying no man can completely please a woman.

Speaking during a sermon which started trending on Sunday, Adejumo said women naturally seek change and improvement, urging husbands not to place themselves under unnecessary pressure to meet every expectation.

“To all married men, don’t ever kill yourself trying to please a woman. I’m a woman speaking to you, and there is nobody who can please a woman to the fullest,” she said.

The clergywoman explained that women’s beauty routines illustrate their desire for change, noting that even though they believe God created them beautifully, many still alter their natural appearance.

“God gave us natural nails, we cut them and put on artificial ones. He gave us natural hair, we remove it and wear wigs. If God cannot please us completely, who are you to think you can?” she said.

Adejumo, however, encouraged husbands to continue loving and caring for their wives, while warning them against exhausting themselves in a bid to achieve perfection in marriage.
