Pastor Daniel Olawande opened up about a challenging season in his marriage where he felt emotionally detached and sexually disinterested in his wife, sparking online conversation on vulnerability and gender roles.
- Pastor Olawande admitted feeling disconnected and unattracted to his wife despite being naturally affectionate.
- He sought help from his wife’s mentor, who later mediated between the couple.
- His wife surprised him with a romantic gesture that rekindled their intimacy and emotional bond
While some applauded his openness as helpful to struggling couples, others criticized the framing of his wife’s role, especially the idea that her mentor apologized on her behalf for being "unattractive." The story has triggered broader conversations about emotional labor in marriage.
