In a recent sermon at his church, renowned clergyman Jimmy Odukoya delivered a powerful message, tackling the misconception among some women regarding their roles in marriage. Jimmy expressed his views on the need for women to be supportive partners in marriage rather than dependents.
During the sermon, Jimmy stated, “A lot of women want to be brides but not wives in their marriages.” He went on to emphasize the biblical perspective that positions women as helpers, not dependents.
According to Odukoya, a woman’s duty is to support her husband, emphasizing that true support requires personal empowerment. He metaphorically suggested that women should bring the chair if the man is bringing the table, and guide the planting of the seed if he is providing it.
“The woman was created to be a helper and not a dependent, and you cannot help anybody if you are not equipped yourself,” Odukoya asserted.
The clergyman’s message aims to encourage a shift in mindset, promoting the idea that a successful marriage involves active and supportive participation from both partners. The video of his sermon has sparked discussions online, with many applauding his perspective on building strong and mutually beneficial marital relationships.
