Veteran Nollywood star Eucharia Anunobi has ignited intense reactions after declaring that sex before marriage can “blindfold” partners from seeing each other’s flaws.
Speaking candidly on relationships and faith, the outspoken actress argued that premarital intimacy often clouds judgment, making couples overlook red flags that could later threaten their union. According to her, emotional and physical attachment can create an illusion of perfection, preventing individuals from properly evaluating compatibility, character, and long-term values.
Anunobi, known for her strong Christian convictions, emphasized that taking time to build friendship, understanding, and spiritual alignment before intimacy leads to healthier marriages. “When you remove clarity, you remove discernment,” she suggested, warning that passion should not replace wisdom in choosing a life partner.
Her comments have since triggered a wave of mixed reactions online. Supporters praised her for promoting restraint and intentional dating, while critics argued that compatibility can also include physical chemistry and that maturity—not abstinence alone—determines clarity in relationships.
Love it or question it, Anunobi’s bold stance has once again placed her at the center of a national conversation about modern relationships, faith, and marriage values.
