CITIZENS COMPASS— The Founder of Doers Nation International Church, Prophet Akinbo Shalom Kelvin, has reportedly advised male Christians to consider taking second wives should their wives deny them intimacy.
Akinbo recently made the statement during a sermon while addressing marriage, intimacy and the expectations between husbands and wives.
According to him: “I heard a pastor say, ‘If you want sex, if you want intimacy with your wife at night, start preparing your wife from the morning.’ You see, these are the kinds of things some churches teach, because some pastors are simply confused about marriage. They’re confused about intimacy in marriage,” he said.
“Mutual understanding, mutual communication, mutual affection, and responsibility from both husband and wife” are necessary for a healthy marriage.
“If your wife continually denies you, don’t secretly ch+at. Talk to her, find out what’s wrong, seek counseling where necessary. But if the problem continues, and you genuinely believe scripture permits it, then discuss the possibility of taking a second wife openly, rather than destroying marriage through adultery,” he said.
“There is no scripture that says that you cannot take a second wife. Show me one scripture,” he declared.
The cleric added that openly teaching such a position in churches would make women “stop all that nonsense.”
Akinbo Shalom Kelvin is based in Ondo State.
