  • Sexual Communication within Marriage

    Sexual Communication within Marriage

    I was invited by a Christian WhatsApp Group to speak about the title subject. Here is what I shared with them

    In the Beginning

    Communication is key in every human relationship. We communicate about everything – food, houses, politics, marriage and of course, sex in marriage. Sex intimacy thrives when both partners communicate openly, honestly and lovingly.

    Now ask yourself, can I fully and freely talk to my spouse or my spouse-to-be about my sexual desires?

    If you want to have a fantastic communication concerning your sexual life. Note the following points:

    #1 – Sexual Communication starts before the act.


    Everything start from your mind, posture and heart.


    This is very important for all men to note; if you want bed to shake at night, start talking lovingly to your wife from the morning.That communication can be buying a small chops, spanking her bum bum, helping around the house, telling her I love you via email, WhatsApp, SMS, calls.

    The talk should also include your expectations on the bed.

    Moreover, prayer is also a form of pre-sexual communication. There is nothing bad if you move from the heavenly realm to the bedroom realm.

    #2 – Communication is two-way thing.  Ask for what you want on bed.

    Talk about your desires, expectations and godly fantasies and respond too.

    Dear married woman, ask your husbands for sex today.


    Ask for your right. Tell your hubby, where to touch, lick or insert to. You know your body more than your hubby does.

    Tell your wife, which new style you want to check out. Add voice to it. You and the man can devise a code that is unintelligible to outsiders and kids.
    Lastly, on this point. Talk. Don’t assume. Your husband doesn’t know you are tired, say it and show it but don’t be tired every day.

    #3 – Let all non-sexual communication be left behind.

    Avoid bringing up external issues. The moment for husband and wife to enjoy themselves in sexual bliss is not the time to ask about Dave’s school fee. Love-making time is not the time to talk about your mother or your struggling business.

    It’s not to talk about unfulfilled promises, how to fill the annual tax return, what Donald Trump is doing or not doing, ICE raids, etc. Rather it the time to enjoy company of one another. You can use the remaining hours to talk about Dave, parents, struggling business, unfulfilled promises, bla, nla, bla…

    Question 1 – ‘But some women do use that time to ask their men any type of request because they know the men have no choice then. What about that?’

    Answer – That is called manipulation and that is why points 1 and 6 are points 1 and 6. Sex should starts before the actual love making and unresolved issue should be resolved before you get to the field of play.

    Husbands, love-making time is to tell your madam what she should do, hold, grab, smother, and caress.
    Wivey, that moment is to ask your LOMLs to do it like this or like that, insert it here, grab this part of the breasts, climb this part, lick this, etc.

    Let the time of conjugal blissfulness really be time for conjugal blissfulness.

    Question 2 – Is communication really necessary when it comes to the frequency of sexual engagement? Some others planned the number of days for sex as a couple. What’s your take on these sir? For me, unplanned sex is sweeter.

    Answer – Sex can be planned, or unplanned and both can be sweeter, and fulfilling and yes, it is important for the other partner to be adequately informed about how frequent you want it.
    One, so that other can also prepare his or her mind and body for the sweet adventure. For example, women are not like we men. Men is kick and start when it comes to sex, while woman need time and stimulation to be aroused. Two, so that we can also look forward to it. A good marriage should contain both the planned and unplanned ones.

    #4 – Talk about everything.

    Your desires, fantasy, where you want it, when you want it, how you want it, how much you want it.
    Please, sex is not something you should in marriage is nothing to be shy of

    And lastly point 5.

    #5 – Let other communication points in the house be on point.


    To have an effectual sexual encounter is this; what will make the sex  great and productive is that the other communication points in the house are on point and effective.

    If you are still keeping malice about what your mama-in-law did during your wedding party, how do you intend to freely express yourself?

    As the bed activities are great, the marital fidelity should be great too. A toxic environment even if the sex is great is not an ideal Christian home.


    Bonus!!!

    After a good sex, appreciate your partner

  • Types of People who will Build A Happy Home

    Let’s start with a story.

    I met my wife on the 7th of May 2021 through a senior brother and we got married on 4th and 5th of September, 2021.

    As at when I married, I was earning 16,000 Naira per month as a private school teacher and she was earning 40,000 Naira working for a financial institution.

    Today, concerning jobs, may all power and adoration belong to God. Amen

    Those that will build happy home must be willing to work together.

    Marriage is not a 50-50 or any percentage saved 100-100, that’s all of you into it.

    Two, those who want to have a happy home should not be afraid of starting from humble beginnings. Because if you wait for perfect time, you will not sow.

    Furthermore, those that will build a happy home much be those that believe. Those that believe that everything will work out for good.

    Good things will come out of the union and that all will turn out fine. Just believe in God.

    Lastly, Happy Valentine.

  • 7 types of people marriage is not for.

    Not all of us will marry. Not all of us should. In fact, some of us should run away from Marriage. It’s not necessarily because you are bad, or will be a bad spouse or parent but it’s just that marital union isn’t meant for someone like you.

    If you belong to any of these groups, don’t think of marriage:



    1. Hate Accountability

    You are someone who hates to be accountable for anything.
    You don’t want anyone to know about you, finances (income and expenses), movements, who you vibe with and move with, what you do and what you don’t. You don’t want anybody asking you why, how, when, or who, marriage is not for you.

    Your spouse is the remnant of your life, a partner, a co-parent and helper, so you’ve got to let him/her into your life. You just have to share it with the person you call husband or wife, even before they ask.

    If you are sharing bodies, you must share details.

    If you can’t deal, marriage is not for you.



    2. Lazy:

    In whatsoever forms – physical, Spiritual, mental.
    Marriage is work and you are gonna put a lot of things, systems, prayers, energy into it for it to work as God intended it to work.

    If you are not ready to put your 100% into this thing called marriage, don’t think of it.



    3. Hate sex:

    Sex is good. Sex is God-ordained for the married. It is the second reason for marriage and you will (or must) have loads of it in marriage.
    If sex irritates you due to:

    • Trauma
    • Fear
    • Medical or hormonal issues
    • Emotional wounds


    Those things can often be treated or worked through with medical care, counselling, and patience.
    However, if you are unwilling to seek help, communicate, or grow in this area, marriage which includes intimacy  will be deeply challenging.


    4. One  Sexual or Reproductive Health Challenges or the other.


    Some people struggle with:
    Erectile dysfunction

    • Pain during sex
    • Hormonal imbalance
    • Irregular menstruation
    • Congenital or acquired conditions


    These are medical issues, not moral failures and many are treatable or manageable.
    Marriage is not forbidden for people with health challenges.
    But refusing diagnosis, treatment, or honest conversation with a potential spouse is unfair and harmful.
    The Bible clearly recommends celibacy for you.



    5. Unforgiver:

    If you find it hard to forgive, don’t bother to marry because it will be hard for you in it.

    You see, marriage is a union of two forgivers. We can’t just do with sinning against one another, but we can have a happy home if we find it easy to forgive quickly, even when the offender is yet to realize his/her offences.

    6. Not responsible


    Marriage is not a hobby, a social status, or a playground.
    It demands:

    • Sacrifice
    • Commitment
    • Hard work


    Love in action, not just words
    If you want benefits without responsibility, marriage will eat you alive.

    All these defects can be worked on if you are ready, but if you can’t, please stay out of marriage. It’s not for someone like you.

    Which set of people do you think marriage is not for?

    Meet me in the comment section for the seventh one.

  • WHAT YOU STAND TO GAIN AS A FULL HOUSEWIFE

    WHAT YOU STAND TO GAIN AS A FULL HOUSEWIFE



    Dear Lady, marriage is blissful and nature has equipped you to be a homemaker, family nutritionist and many other roles you hold in the house.

    That is more than going out and earning money or contributing financially to the house.

    Isn’t that man’s job?

    But you will gain nothing in being a full housewife in this 21st century than

    – a closed mouth

    – a closed destiny

    – loss of self-identity and

    – boredom

    Because the man who is paying the piper will dictate the tunes (he is a human being)

    But we will those who did it and are glad for it?

    How many of them? Probably one of twenty.

    Finally, you can contribute to the house and still be a great wife with a voice, an identity and a life.

    The two can coexist.

    If you agree, share. Comment and like.

  • From Government to Marriage: The Trust Problem

    From Government to Marriage: The Trust Problem

    Recently Nigeria passed New Tax Acts which have been causing a lot of uproars of social spa e

    On paper, the new tax act is good; it exempts a lot of Nigerians, and it is progressive in nature, but do you know why many are sceptical of its implementation?

    One is misinformation engineered by a minority of people who have one grouse or another to grind with the government of the day, and a lack of trust. I will focus on the latter.

    Successive Nigerian Governments have not been known to be good custodians of our commonwealth.

    They have stolen. They have killed and they have destroyed.

    An average Nigerian has zero trust in his government because he has been let down repeatedly over and over again.

    He has been told to endure while his government and their cronies waste resources all around.

    Why should he now trust this one when he, the government, has not shown any iota of change from what his predecessors are known for?

    He is like that serial cheating husband who suddenly develops a plan of romantic activities for his wife when he hasn’t shown a clear way of repenting.

    Dear, don’t ever come to a point in your marriage where your partner can’t trust you again.

    A point where you are just in the union just for being in it’s sake.

    A point where every step of yours is misconstrued as an avenue to more abuses and irresponsibility.

    And trust me, this point of total mistrust is not from one-off mistakes, it is arrived at from repeated mistakes.

    Don’t ever let trust go out of your marriage for it is the currency of the union.

    Thanks for reading.

    God bless Nigeria.

    God bless our marriage in Jesus

  • What sacrifices have you made in life?

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    Hmmmm!

    Three months to my wedding, I got a job far away from home. In fact, about 8 hours from home. Ogbomoso, Oyo State to Benin Edo State.

    Well, the job pays more than what I currently had then. Actually 3× of the then salary.

    If I stay in my current job, my then fiance turned wife now, monthly income is 3× mine and I have to man up.

    The problem has never been my wife earning more than I did but rather closing the income gap between us. So I took the job

    The job is a farm manager position in a remote village in Benin, Edo State. No network, no light, no road. So bad that if I have to communicate effectively with my fiance, without interruption, I will have to spend ₦1000 as transport fare to where there is good network. After the day work on farm that runs from 8am till 4pm.

    Besides, almost all the guys there smoke indian hemp.

    The first question I ask myself is; carrer-wise, did this make sense? How will I know of emerging trends in the market?

    Two, is this the type of environment, I want to raise my children? A community of Indian hemp smokers and unkempt hairs?

    Three, let’s say my fiance resigned from her job, what job have I secure for her or what money did I have to give her to start a business?

    If I said my wife should be at home, and I will be visiting monthly, it still doesn’t make economic sense. Why? Because, I will have to travel on Friday evening, all things being equal, I should get home by 11pm. By Saturday, I will sure visit my friends and parents and by Sunday afternoon, I am on way back in order to resume on month. The transport fee will cost me about ₦10,000 to and fro .

    I will have to drop home maintenance fee for my wife and will also eat at my workplace. After everything, what will be left will be ₦5000. Why this stress?

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    After all these introspection, I discovered that the cons far outweigh the pros, a month to my wedding, I resigned and return to my former workplace which this saying in mind, let the worse that want to happen happened, God is on the throne.

    Praise God, the bad did not happen talk less of the worst and I joined my wife and both of us combined our little resources together and live happily after.

    Now, tell me what sacrifices have you made in your life?

  • Dear Sister Rosemary,
