The Truth About Improving Marital Relationships

A marriage counselor from Nigeria, Shamseddin Giwa, believes that no amount of aphrodisiacs, special meals, or enticing lingerie can truly enhance a marriage.

He stresses that for a marriage to thrive, both partners must be committed and willing to invest effort into their relationship.

“Here we are in 2024, and why are we still giving out these outdated tips to wives?” he expressed in a recent Facebook update.

“Use aphrodisiacs, get sexy lingerie, prepare his favorite dishes.”

But after all this time, why haven’t things improved? The answer is clear: a successful marriage requires the involvement of both individuals.

No matter how enticing the aphrodisiacs or how delicious the meals, if your husband isn’t also willing to contribute to the relationship, all these efforts will lead to disappointment.

Establishing a connection is essential, and this is where you should focus your attention. Effective communication is a great starting point. It’s also important to understand the reasons behind your current situation. Why are you the only one making an effort?

Once you find the answer, make sure it reflects the truth. If he simply doesn’t know better, there’s a chance to improve the situation. But if the reality is that he has lost interest in you, or worse, never really had it, it may be time to face the truth and decide your next steps.
