Award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician Celestine Donkor has sparked conversations on social media after encouraging married women, particularly Christian wives, to prioritise intimacy in their marriages to help strengthen their relationships.
In a video shared on her social media platforms, the Supernatural hitmaker stressed that a lack of intimacy should never become the reason a marriage breaks down. According to her, it is heartbreaking for a marriage to collapse over an issue that can be addressed through mutual understanding and commitment.
Celestine Donkor stated that God has blessed married couples with the gift of intimacy and urged wives not to repeatedly deny their husbands affection. She emphasised that physical intimacy is an important part of a healthy marriage and should not be neglected.
“The saddest thing to happen to you is to have a broken marriage because of lack of sex, when God has generously blessed you with beauty and a special hole meant to be enjoyed by your husband,” she said.
The gospel singer further advised women to be generous with their husbands in that aspect of marriage, cautioning that consistently withholding intimacy could negatively affect the relationship.
“If you don’t give it to your husband, who will you give it to? And I promise you, if you keep being stingy with your body towards your own husband, one day you will regret it. You will push a good man to the wall, to areas and to things you do not want to see,” she added.
Celestine Donkor also shared what she believes is one of the most painful experiences for a husband. According to her, it can be deeply hurtful for a man to approach his wife seeking intimacy only to be rejected with repeated excuses.
“One painful thing is for a husband to be in the mood to have sex with his wife, gather confidence and muscles to approach his wife in bed only to be told, ‘I am tired, leave me.’ It is so painful. It makes the man angry the whole night,” she said.
Her comments have generated mixed reactions online. While some social media users agreed with her views on the importance of intimacy in marriage, others argued that healthy relationships require open communication, mutual consent, and understanding from both spouses.
