Pastor (Bishop) Funke Felix-Adejumo advises married men not to overexert themselves in an attempt to fully please their wives. In sermons reported by multiple outlets, she cautions that no man can completely satisfy a woman’s desires and that men should avoid sacrificing their health, lives, or well-being while trying to meet expectations in marriage.

She frames her message as guidance for husbands to stay responsible and attentive within the marriage while not carrying that responsibility to harmful extremes. According to the reports, she urges men to listen carefully and to adopt a balanced approach rather than “killing themselves” trying to please their wives.

While both accounts focus on the same core message, they differ only in wording and emphasis, with one outlet presenting the advice as “don’t kill yourself trying to please a woman” and another describing it as “don’t exhaust yourselves trying to please women.” Both attribute the remarks to Adejumo during preaching or a sermon directed at married men.
