whe men went to otabil for advice about their marriage, he said to then that its evil spirit that is disturbing the families! so i will pray and break it for you. now that people begin to realize that his prayers are all fake because after prayers the problems get more worst. he is shifting the blame to the men. he is the cause of breaking marriage!! where is his God that he said can turn unfortunate to fortunate?
now is not evil spirit anymore, its the men next time it would the president because Ghana are hard! stop deceiving the people.

Otabil obviously have a good woman who is supporting him like a good woman should so he thinks every woman is like his. His comments doesn't recognise or praise good women but seems to suggest all women have the same character. Some men meet ashawo women who would fight, lie and give them all kinds of hell and they split up and the man goes on to meet a caring woman who then have a blissful relationship with him.
I respect Otabil a lot but sometimes he comes up with things which make me wonder what is going on in his head.

Dr Otabil, you got it wrong! The order was given to the man, but it was the woman who first ate the fruit, and subsequently gave it to the man. Women are the main causes of broken marriages these days. They start it all immediately the honey moon is over and their wide expectations hit a snag. It is they who come face to face with their responsibilities in the union and realise that they have pledged themselves into a hard task. It is they who will do everything to get out when they realise they cannot have things their way.
Women are the rock of every stable marriage, and immediately they decline to live to their responsibilities, there is trouble. Please let us tell our women that we depend on them and transfer all responsibility of stability in the home to them straight from the altar, so they should not fail us!

How does a pastor who does not monitor marriages across Ghana or who has not conducted any studies on why marriages fail in Ghana come out making noise that men are mostly to blame for failed marriages in Ghana? Is Pastor Otabil assuming that the married men in his church are representative of all men in Ghana? All marriages do not fail for the same reasons, and no leader of a church or community should make claims that are baseless since such claims only serve to turn one gender against the other. The claims made by Pastor Otabil make no sense, for he has nothing to back his wild and outlandish claims.

This Pastor is wrong big time,every thing in marriage is mutual but just saying it's all from the men is totally wrong.Yes I agree parents should never push their children who they should marry allow them to make their choices because at the end of the day we will be dead and gone and leave the two behind just counsel them about making some thoughtful choices not just follow name and tittles it's good to consider the two but not blindly.Consider age differences when the difference is lets be real more than may be 10 years from both side or more it's not the best,it is best up to maybe up to 10 or most 12 years from both sides and there are several things you have to consider such as if during friendship the man or woman ever hits you or gets angry easily just leave him or her because it will get worse and not better when you marry,if either smokes or a drunkard please just leave because it will be worse the take home message is please get to know yourselves better if either is lazy or uncompassionate leave

Rev. Otabil obviously didn't have a good relationship with his father. Every now and then he tells his congregation some horrible things about his father in the name of a moral lesson. Otabil's bitterness against his father's alleged irresponsibility underlines much of preaching on fatherhood, marriage and responsibility, leading him to the mistaken belief that the circumstances of one marriage is necessarily the same as another's. Yet, granted that his father was all that, Rev. Otabil must still show some respect to the man who sired him. More importantly, he should free himself from his own childhood prison to become a better counsellor!

Agree!!! Sometimes, one's experience in life can make him or her very subjective and bias.
Marriages do not fail solely because of men's shortcomings. What's the purpose of women? To be helpmates, hence, when women fail to be helpmates and become liabilities what should the men do? Remember in the case of Adam, God had a clear purpose for him but sadly he gave in to the women's advice and that mistake caused the reversal of the divine order of things. God created man to have dominion over all that he had created, hence, the reason man named the woman Eve and every other creature God had created.
You only have dominion over that which you name. But when man failed and gave in to the woman's advice, divine order was turned upside down and the serpent (animal) had dominion over the woman, woman had dominion over the man since he was at the receiving end. The woman didn't accept responsibility since she wasn't the one God instructed.
Another example of man allowing himself to be influenced negatively is Abraham and Sarah in respect of taking Haggai and sleeping with her- Sarah turned round to blame Abraham. Again, another example is Jezebel and Ahab.
Thank God for Jesus, divine order has been restored. As men, we need to rise up.
If a wife isn't serving her purpose as a helpmate and helping the man have dominion and fulfilling purpose then what should the man do?

You are getting insane. Man learn to respect your elders. Can u insult your father?
Otabil obviously have a good woman who is supporting him like a good woman should so he thinks every woman is like his. His comments doesn't recognise or praise good women but seems to suggest all women have the same characte ...

I agree wd u every marraige is different and should b judged on its merit . He has painted every man wd d same brush.
Young women who have no respect for men but want to be with a guy with some money. Quick pregnancy and single.....lol then she begins to hate men and if the offspring is a female......the cycle.continues
Everywhere sentence in this story needs rebuttals and time is not on my side but in a nutshell i can say that Otabil will gradually break all marriages in Ghana with this kind of teachings and eventually render these women in ...

Rubbish read what he said! He didn't say all!!! More husbands are at fault but there are also wives who don't do the right thing!
This is good than talking polities
You have every right to disagree with him but I think calling a man of God to be not normal is way above the line.
THERE IS NO MAN OF GOD IN GHANA . THEY ARE ALL FAKE AND MOST THEM ARE BANGING THEIR CHURCH MEMBERS .
Mr Otabil is nothing more than an ispirational speaker period. We are all men of God.
Please show respect,if you disagree with him doesn't mean you have to insult him.
look at You, why do you know?
look at You, what do you know?
Otabil needs to undertake an objective view of this. You need to understand the context of today's life of RIGHTS and EQUALITY. This is part of the issue. I would respect an objective view and not a subjective one. You are ...

A paragon of bunkums.
This man knows what is happening in every house in Ghana.
Dr Otabil, you got it wrong! The order was given to the man, but it was the woman who first ate the fruit, and subsequently gave it to the man. Women are the main causes of broken marriages these days. They start it all immed ...

How does a pastor who does not monitor marriages across Ghana or who has not conducted any studies on why marriages fail in Ghana come out making noise that men are mostly to blame for failed marriages in Ghana? Is Pastor Ot ...

Women of these days
As you can see, there is no dispute here. Men are the ones who are given the VISION for a generation. Not women.
Sincerely,
Apostle Mawuetornam Dugbazah
Deliverance is necessary if you are UNMANLY and EFFEMINATE
You're a man of deception for thinking that only men are given vision. People like you misuse the bible to subjugate women to serfdom. I'm sure there are more women in this world with better vision of things and life than you ...

Worry not about juju. They do not work.
Rev. Otabil obviously didn't have a good relationship with his father. Every now and then he tells his congregation some horrible things about his father in the name of a moral lesson. Otabil's bitterness against his father's ...

Agree!!! Sometimes, one's experience in life can make him or her very subjective and bias.

Sheer nonsense being propagated by an ignorant man. The danger is that the gullible woman will use this as excuse. Similarly, the ignorant pastor should preach that teachers are to blame for failed students? How then can o ...

thank you, but tell the ladies to educate themselves not to sit down and wait for rich men to marry them
Its true....The man is the head of the family....He is also the spiritual head of the family....The man must pray for the family...the woman is a helper...
Maybe that still works in Ghana. I live in the UK and I do not think it works in Ghanaian marriages anymore. Until Duncan-Williams and pastor Chris had broken marriages they would have said the same.
It takes two to tango and there is no smoke without fire!
To intimate men are, invariably, to blame for failing marriages, is absurd!
Mr Pastor try to put things in balance.It is wrong to blame men alone. Failure of marriage can be only attributed of guilty of responsibility.
The Blackman is using the Bible to deceive his fellow blacks through manipulation. Yes, the Bible is real, no doubt. However, the black man is taking advantage to dupe others. A typical example is the man above. Stop your gab ...

Otabil is a con artiste. By saying this he is worming his way into the hearts of all the gullible women in Ghana.
This means more tithes and donations to the church for prayers for marriages to succeed.
Dr. Otabil is right. Marriage and for that matter every relationship trives on mutual respect. Disagreeing with this means you have lost it. Your marriage is on the rocks.
Please stop generalizing failed marriages on gender bases.Marriage problems may originate from both isles of the Union. That is exactly what it is.

Men and women get into marriage and they are both responsible to keep their marriage alive.Sometimes the problem comes from the men just as well as the women.Thank you.
A statement like this should be grounded on empirical research. In today's world the temptation is to say things to please women, a phenomenon some women loathe and detest and consider it as patronizing them. Otabil should co ...

Pastor Otabil some women do.
Pastor Otabil may I ask is Jesus or God a man. If your father threated your mother badly don't blame all men.
Marriage is a choice. Men should be responsible for their choices. Pray for directions if you have issues. As God has placed men as head of the family. Whoever finds a good wife finds success.
Unless you are spiritually and biblically inclined you won't understand his message. It's not that Otabil doesn't know women also have their own faults in marriage but what he is meaning is the core responsibility. When a co ...

I AM SURE OTABIL BLAMES GOD WHEN HIS CHURCH COLLECTIONS GO DOWN! LET'S HOPE HE DOES NOT TURN HIS UNIVERSITY INTO AN INDOCTRINATION INSTITUTE.
Otabil I think you are very poor in human social relations despite your Doctorate degree and high profile character within Ghanaian Society. You have seriously exposed your ignorance in the subject of social science.
Sorry I meant every sentence
God bless you.
Very insightful,grt lessons out there!!!

This is absolutely false. What kind of preaching is this. So what is the responsible of women in marriage?

Finger pointing will not get men to heaven,or obtain eternal life. But,the command in Matthew 28:19 - 20 will.
