Don't marry a man who doesn't pay tithe - Celestine Donkor advises women

Celestine Donkor shares key red flags women should never ignore

Ghanaian gospel musician Celestine Donkor has advised women not to marry men who do not pay tithe, as she shared three key things women should consider before choosing a life partner.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the singer said one of the first red flags women should look out for is the silent treatment.

According to her, if a man becomes angry during disagreements and goes for days, weeks or even months without communicating, women should be cautious about marrying such a person because women generally prefer to talk through issues and resolve them.

“The first thing to look out for is silent treatment. If there’s an issue and the person gets angry, then goes the whole day, weeks, or even months without speaking to you, you should be very careful about marrying such a person.

“Women are naturally conversational. When there’s a problem, they usually want to talk about it and resolve it. So if someone resorts to giving you the silent treatment, it’s something that can be very difficult to live with in marriage,” she said.

Women should not deny their husbands sex - Celestine Donkor

Secondly, Celestine Donkor urged women to consider whether they are sexually compatible with their partners.

She explained that if a man has a very high sex drive, a woman should honestly assess whether her own level of sexual interest matches his, as differences in that area could create challenges in the marriage.

“The second thing is sexual currency. If a man’s sex drive is very high and he talks about sex all the time, you need to assess yourself. If you don’t have the same level of interest in sex, that marriage may face constant challenges. Make sure your sexual currency aligns before you decide to get married,” she stated.

She also advised women to pay attention to whether the man they intend to marry is stingy, using his attitude towards tithing as one of the indicators.

“Check whether he is stingy. Look at whether he pays his tithe. Don’t marry a man who doesn’t pay tithes. If he can’t give God 10%, then imagine how he will treat you, a fellow human being,” she added.
