Pastor Sarah Omakwu has advised married couples against living separately, stating that husbands and wives should remain under the same roof to strengthen and protect their marriages.
She made the remarks during an episode of her “Marriage Is Sweet” series, where she addressed modern marital arrangements and questioned the growing trend of couples living in different cities or countries.
According to her, such arrangements are not in line with what she believes to be God’s design for marriage.
“This thing these days, man will live in Abuja, the wife is in Scotland. It’s not the will of God.”
She raised concerns about how separated couples meet each other’s emotional and intimate needs, stressing that physical closeness plays a key role in marital stability.
“What are the men doing with their s+xual needs? Because every other minute a man is thinking about s+x.”
She also warned that prolonged separation could expose spouses to temptation, especially in the digital age where social media and online content are easily accessible.
“In this day and age of internet, you have to be on the same bed before your husband or wife forms a culture of porn%graphy.”
Pastor Omakwu further emphasized the importance of transparency in marriage, including openness with personal devices, noting that secrecy between partners can create distrust.
“Any marriage where the husband or wife cannot touch the phone of the other person, something is wrong.”
