Adeboye gave this advice while speaking about the importance of maintaining romance in marriages.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has called on Christian couples to loosen up in the bedroom.
This is as he urged them never to allow spiritual responsibilities to replace conjugal duties to each other.
Adeboye gave this advice while speaking about the importance of maintaining romance in marriages.
Adeboye, in a post on his official X handle, said that he and his wife, Foluke, still nurture their love with pet names whenever they are alone.
He stressed that anointing does not reduce romance, adding that marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy are allowed between a man and a woman.
The octogenarian further admonished couples against being rigid in their marriage, urging them not to have more fun elsewhere without their spouses
“The fact that you are a Christian does not in any way take the romance out of your marriage. Marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy are allowed between a man and a woman.
“Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity as a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters. Some of them don’t even play with their spouses anymore.
“Beloved, the anointing does not reduce the need for romance in marriage. Isaac was an anointed man of God and a successful businessman, yet in Genesis 26:8, the Bible says he was being romantic with his wife: And it came to pass when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebecca his wife.
“Don’t become too rigid in your marriage; don’t have more fun elsewhere without your spouse. Make the times that you and your spouse spend together so much fun that you are always looking forward to seeing each other again,” he said.
