Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has emphasized the importance of keeping romance alive in marriage, even amidst spiritual responsibilities.
In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook, Adeboye revealed that he and his wife, Foluke, continue to nurture their love with playful gestures and pet names. He stated, “Anointing does not reduce romance,” urging married couples, especially pastors, to prioritize intimacy to maintain vibrant relationships.
He noted that some pastors avoid romantic activities, mistakenly believing they detract from their spiritual focus. “Don’t let romance die,” he advised, stressing that being a Christian should not negate the need for connection and joy in marriage.
Citing biblical examples, Adeboye encouraged couples to revive their intimacy and spend quality time together. He recalled the playful relationship between Isaac and Rebekah, underscoring that romance is an integral part of marriage.
He suggested simple yet meaningful actions, such as writing love notes, using pet names, and planning surprises to keep the spark alive. “Your marriage can be like heaven on earth if you and your spouse are deliberate about remaining the lovebirds you once were,” he concluded.
