Some African wives in the diaspora, mostly Ghanaians, have resorted to using sex as a bargaining tool in their marriages.
This act is said to be causing a lot of havoc in marriages, compelling the husbands to seek sexual satisfaction outside.
This came to light at a programme organised by the Men’s and Women’s Ministries of the New Covenant United Methodist Church (NCUMC) in Fairfield Ohio, in the United States of America.
It was organised under the theme, ‘Filling each other’s tank,’ and aimed at exploring ways to attend to the needs of spouses and families in order to build a happy Christian home.
It addressed areas including intimacy, finances, emotional and psychological needs, raising kids in the diaspora and extended families.
According to a statement issued by the NCUMC and copied The Spectator, the practice was ‘unholy and archaic’ way of using sex as a bargaining tool in their marriages.
It expressed worry about the lukewarm attitude of African wives, especially those in the diaspora, when it came to matters of sex and romance, unlike other wives who are always ‘battle ready.’
According to the statement, the situation has been so bad to the extent that some husbands sometimes, would have to appease their wives in order to get ‘what’s legitimately theirs.
However, members of the Women’s Ministry, the statement mentioned, shared myriad of reasons that affects their drive to explore sexually, ranging from stress from work and household chores.
Some of them blamed it on African cultural beliefs, that “when an African woman explores, she was tagged as a spoilt girl so it forces them to be laid-back or give them what was traditionally accepted or expected of them.”
The statement quoted a member of the Women’s Ministry, Mrs Florence Esi Jonfiah, who could not fathom why most wives behaved as if sex was a man’s benefit when as a matter of fact, its benefit was unquantifiable.
“Look, let’s not pretend, we equally need sex just like our men need it. For us, apart from the many health benefits including stress release, increased hormone production, vaginal health, improved circulation among others, the ecstatic moments alone is unimaginable,” she stated.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
