Controversial relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, often known as Blessing CEO, has spoken out about the challenges that modern marriages face.
In a recent interview with Instablog TV, she blamed the breakdown of many marriages in her generation on excessive chatting and social media use.
According to her, conventional community mechanisms that formerly helped resolve marital disputes are no longer functional in today’s world.
She stated that women’s openness and independence today may be both a benefit and a burden, as some women struggle to manage their freedom while maintaining their 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.
She 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.
