You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by Lovelink1991(op): 9:44am On Aug 09
Nigeria popular Clergy man, Evang. Ebuka Obi has spark a lot of conversations over his comment on nature and marriage.

You as a man can love your wife and still be attracted and have erection for other women.

The statement didn't go well with some Christians but the man of God stands on it

Is He correct or wrong about that statement

Facing the reality, the man is right. The ability to perish the thought and feeling, lusting after another woman is called discipline.

There is love in sharing.
Most especially erection

Women are always trying to magnet (attract) men, however, a man of understanding knows that he is strong enough to break the magnet and keep out the devil

There are some things Men of God should not be saying from the Pulpit

He is not wrong in that statement. Being attracted to a lady who is not your wife is one thing, discipline is another.

Same applies to women

Even as a woman, I done see two attractive sweetboys today. I don't know why he thinks only men do sightseeing.

He isn't wrong, and it's not exclusive to men, it's no longer news that women get tempted, the ability to control oneself matters a lot.

Base on the kind of spirit the man posses, there are men that women outside their wives don't move them, if you like fine well.
That thought can't nurse in them.
It's common doesn't make it a norm.

That's the bitter truth, though it's coming from an unholy mouth. A man's system is wired in such a way that no single woman can satisfy him.
Re: You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by Basicend: 3:01pm On Aug 09
Personally, I don't listen to the man's messages. I have my reservations.

But in the particular context or message, the man is 100% correct.

Yes na
Sexual attraction and love na two different things
Re: You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by Leepeak(m): 3:02pm On Aug 09
Both genders
grin
Just respect your bodies
And that attraction might be infatuation
The person might not be even attracted to you too
Re: You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by Teymanhenry(m): 3:02pm On Aug 09
It’s largely a matter of the mind and what we have been taught to believe. Do men with two or three wives necessarily love them any less? Not always.

If you strongly believe that you can only love one woman, loving another may naturally feel wrong or absurd. But if you grow up in an environment where having multiple wives is accepted, you may see it differently.

One thing I believe is worth clarifying: having more than one wife is not, in itself, a sin, just as drinking alcohol is not automatically a sin. However, Christians are encouraged to avoid such choices because of the challenges and consequences they can bring.

Sometimes, wisdom is not just about what is permitted, but about what brings peace and a healthy home.
Re: You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by FSBoperator: 3:02pm On Aug 09
It's always sex that is on their minds so why won't he be speaking about lusting over women despite being married.

Is lust not a sin again to this fake pastor
Re: You As A Man Can Love Your Wife & Still Be Attracted To Other Women - Evang. Obi by Nobody:
Edit:
I didn't watch the video earlier to confirm the context that he was referring to sexual attraction in the context of lust before I pushed my opinion
I only inferred from OP's post which lacked details


This pastor ma na wa oh!
From his context, he is an exact representation of what Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15-20.

My original post before realization is now converted into a quote below

This is a hard truth that people will want to dispute.

The reality is, it entirely normal to find someone else sexually attractive while being deeply in love with your wife.

Experiencing physical attraction to other people is a natural human biological response that does not automatically turn off when you enter a committed relationship.

Now, there is ambiguity in what sexual attraction means and it all depends on the context.

For me, if you see a woman, your brain will automatically categorize, or how can you tell that this woman is ugly or beautiful?
Is this woman a kind of woman I would approach if circumstances permit?

Sexual attraction is not inherently bad (its biology), it is what you do with it (your action or thoughts towards the instinctual drive) that makes it sinful or not.

If you find my opinion offensive, you are one of the reasons why I believe that both Basic Philosophy and Basic Psychology should be made mandatory as a course or subject, not only in higher institutions, but also in secondary schools.

A question for self examination: Supposing I show you a woman, lets say Beyonce and I ask you this question, "Do you find Beyonce Attractive?", what do you think your brain will start doing?

He is a fake pastor.

If you are truly under the direction and comfort of the Holy Spirit all material lust will varnish.

Did Christ lust after any woman when he was on earth?

Even the ever lying Pharisees and Sadducees in the Sanhedrin could not slander Him with sex.

Was there any case of lust among the disciples who were anointed by the Spirit ?

From the abundance of the heart speaketh the mouth.

He just said the truth

Marriage doesn't mean you won't be attracted to other people. This is where intentionality and self-control come in

He is not saying anything new. Men can love differently because of their mindset to provide, women can love one because of their mindset to nurture.

Women will betray their biological makeup if they insist they want to act like men and this does not mean they don't or can't get attracted to other men. The nuturuing spirit cannot sustain it for long. It can't compartmentalize the love.

Of course he is right but it doesn't end there- SELF CONTROL a gift of the Holy Spirit comes in to help in such a situation. Same applies to wives too. The devil tempts everybody but you don't have to yield especially when you know the Gospel - thats why it's called The Good news

Women experience similar things. A woman can be deeply in love with her husband and at the same time be sexually attracted to other men. Temptation, even after marriage, applies to both men and women alike! undecided

I logged on because of this man. This statement is untrue and very careless.

People try to make their weaknesses a standard.

What a preacher! Mouthpiece of the devil to set a protocol of immorality in motion.

So perpetrators will not feel guilt.

May God silence people like this!
