Controversial relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has shared her thoughts on the challenges facing modern marriages.
In a recent interview with Instablog TV, she attributed the high rate of marital breakdowns today to excessive communication and the influence of social media.
According to her, traditional support systems that once helped couples resolve their issues are no longer effective in today’s world.
Blessing CEO also pointed out that while women’s independence and exposure in modern society can be empowering, it can also present challenges. Some women, she said, struggle to balance their newfound independence with maintaining healthy relationships.
The relationship therapist emphasized that a woman’s success can make her husband feel insecure, not because of her achievements, but because of the perceived threat to his masculinity.
Blessing CEO advised women to remain soft and feminine, even in the face of success, noting that when women become too assertive or competitive, it can lead to their husbands seeking comfort elsewhere or ending the marriage.
“In our generation, because I am working and earning money, even if I am quarreling with my husband, what do I need to go to my husband for? Once a woman becomes independent, they begin to rub shoulders with men.
“A lot of people say that whenever a woman becomes successful the man becomes insecure. The truth is that no man is intimidated by your success, they are only afraid of the masculinity that comes with success.
“So women should always remember to be soft, no matter how much you have, because once you start to drag shoulders with your husband, he begins to cheat and look for a woman that is softer or he leaves the marriage,” Blessing CEO said.
