- Pastor Olumide Emmanuel emphasized that Christian marriage is based on kingdom teachings, and men should respect their wives’ opinions and superior judgment, and submit when appropriate.
A pastor has asserted that the concept of submission within a marriage is not exclusively applicable to women.
Pastor Olumide Emmanuel clarified that a Christian marriage should be founded on the principles of the kingdom rather than cultural norms. Consequently, he emphasized that men ought to honor their wives’ perspectives and superior insights, submitting when it is deemed appropriate.
He said: “Men, I will tell you for free, respect a woman’s sensitivity if you want to do well in life.
“Ask any married man that will be honest with you, there are things that if we did not listen to our wife we’d be in trouble by now. And there are times that we didn’t listen, we enter trouble.
“So if you’re a young person now, don’t let Africa kill you. ‘I’m a man of this house, I’m a man of this house, you can’t tell me what to do’. Forget that nonsense.
“Marriage is not an African culture, it’s a kingdom culture and in the kingdom the bible says, submitting yourself one to another. Mutual submission is a kingdom agenda for the marriage.
“So there are times you need to submit to your wife. Submit to your woman.”

Her mother remarked in the video caption, “She is not interested in Igbo cartoons… no more Cocomelon.”
