Nigerian preacher and marriage counsellor Funke Felix-Adejumo has advised married men not to sacrifice their health and wellbeing in an attempt to satisfy every expectation of their wives.
According to Vanguard on Sunday, July 5, 2026, Felix-Adejumo gave the advice during a sermon on marriage and family responsibilities. She urged husbands to remain committed to their roles as dependable partners and family leaders but cautioned against pushing themselves to the point of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion.
The cleric said many married men place excessive pressure on themselves in a bid to meet every expectation, stressing that perfection in marriage is unattainable.
She encouraged husbands to maintain a balanced approach to family responsibilities, saying they should continue caring for their families without neglecting their own wellbeing.
“Listen to me very, very carefully. Do everything, but don’t kill yourself. Married men, hear me, I’m a woman speaking to you now. There is nobody that can please a woman,” she said.
