Speaking in a video circulating online, the celebrated gospel singer said one of the most painful experiences for a married man is gathering the confidence to approach his wife for intimacy, only to be met with responses such as “I’m tired” or “Leave me.”
According to her, repeated rejection can create emotional distance between couples and affect the strength of a marriage. She encouraged couples to communicate openly and make intentional efforts to nurture intimacy as part of building a healthy and lasting relationship.

Over the years, she has earned several awards for her contribution to gospel music and is widely admired for using her platform to promote Christian values, family life, and personal growth.
