Renowned preacher Pastor Mensa Otabil has ignited a storm of reactions after declaring that the success or failure of most marriages largely depends on the man.
In a powerful statement that has set social media buzzing, the respected cleric argued that a man’s leadership, character, and sense of responsibility often determine whether a marriage thrives or collapses.
According to him, when a man embraces maturity, commitment, and emotional intelligence, the home flourishes. But when those qualities are lacking, cracks begin to form — sometimes with devastating consequences.
The comment has sparked intense debate, with supporters praising the message as a call for men to step up and take responsibility, while critics argue that marriage is a shared journey that requires equal effort from both partners.
Relationship experts say the statement taps into long-standing conversations about gender roles, accountability, and evolving expectations within modern unions.
As discussions rage on radio, in churches, and across timelines, one thing is certain: Pastor Otabil’s words have once again thrust marriage and responsibility into the national spotlight.
